    Remember that this is the reason for having a SHARED NETWORK... you share all. If you and I are working on a project that is shared on the network, we could work on and update the project. If you don't want this to be the case, do not share some files on the network. In other words, if I don't want then it in my music, I do not share my music directory.

    You should still be able to delete the files in your Acrobat.com account (and receive a confirmation message "delete file" when you do. If this isn't the case, please clear the cache, and then open a session in https://cloud.acrobat.com/files.

    P S long

    You can remove them without making the overall Windows operatin, the question is why do you want to do this?

    I can only guess one of two things...

    (1) you're obsessed with cleaning the Windows folder (and all the others.)  A compulsion.

    (2) you are trying to free up as much space as possible for some reason any.

    Whatever it is...

    You can free up disk space (will also help get rid of the things that you do not use) through the following steps:

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

    -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
    -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
    -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
    -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

    You can use an application that scans your system for the log files and temporary files and use it to get rid of those who:

    Hi john5001,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2 when was the last time it was working fine?

    3. How do you delete the files on the desktop?

    4. the problem only occurs with the files on the desktop?

    5. do you have security software installed on the computer?

    Method 1

    See the link below and run them the fixit tool available, check if it helps.

    Diagnose and repair Windows files and folders problems automatically

    http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_file_and_folder_diag/

    Method 2

    Check if the problem persists in safe mode.

    A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222

    If the problem does not persist in safe mode, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

    Reset the computer to start as usual

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

    (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

    If the problem persists in safe mode then I suggest that you scan the computer to remove any malware or virus infection, and check if it works.

  • How can I delete second partition of Windows 8 is not working.

    Original title: 2 Options of Windows 8 boot after installation

    After the instrall of Windows 8, I find myself with 2 startup options for ' windows 8 '. We work, we do not. How can I delete the one that does not work?

    This might help, it might not. I had an additional option of Windows 8 start after the installation of Win8 Pro Dev preview. I even formatted my drive (I have 2 disk for Win8) first and always happens.

    First, run Disk Cleanup and clean up system files. This could find older versions of windows to be deleted.

    I found the extra startup option by running 'msconfig' and selecting the tab "boot" by selecting the extra startup option and pressing 'delete' this problem for me solved.

  • Can I delete files from bundle w/o mishap?

    Hello

    Can I delete an event files in the bundle of fcpx without mishap? I tried to delete them in FCPX, but it does not work. The event, in that they were damaged when connecting the drive cable broke.

    As soon as, an event I had lost both its icon, something strange. I copied the contents of a new event, but they have not been physically displaced and former cannot be deleted. Now, months later a few files in this case is no longer 'claim' be linked tho the audio is always.

    There are a lot of audio and video clips stored in this case overall, but only a few that I use. That is why I hope that I can just go in the bundle and throw in the trash, but you worry, it could the CurrentVersion.fcpevent could go loco.

    Any ideas?

    I guess you can, but if there are already problems, why dig the hole even deeper.

    I copy the entire library on a spare drive and play with the copy, leaving your original library in tact. Kinda like having a backup reverse.

    Once understand you the problems in the copied library you can move forward with confidence and apply the changes to the original.

    BTW: Start with the removal of the Flexolibrary in the contents of the package, it can re - build and fix things.

  • How can I access files created on Windows 7, virtual pc, windows xp mode applications? __

    I installed an application under virtual pc and I use the application and generate files. I can't access the files with the windows Explorer 7 - and windows Explorer cannot find in a search. I know they are there but they are "virtual".

    Here are two ways to get Windows 7 to access files created in Windows XP Mode:

    1. the XP Mode virtual machine automatically assign a drive letter to each of the disks to the Windows 7 computer.  You can store files directly on these discs.
    2. you can share disk of the XP mode virtual machine and access it as a network drive in Windows 7. Boulder computer Maven

  • How to delete files in C:/Windows/assembly (access denied)

    Cause of uninstalls unclean, the ATI driver for my video card is corrupt, and I have to manually removeeverything with the token "90ba9c70f846762e in the folder of the Assembly. I tried almost everything I can find on the forums, but no matter what I do, I always get 'Access denied'. If I can't get this resolved, I think I'm going to reformat and do a clean install of windows or switch to nVidia, because I can't change all the settings on my GPU for this reason.

    Hi FearTheCalm,

    In Windows 7, you cannot delete anything of C:\Windows\Assembly.

    Looks like you have not uninstalled properly the computer ATI drivers.

    I suggest you contact ATI\AMD support for more information about how to completely remove the drivers for the computer.
