Can I safely remove all references to the CHROME of about: config?

I was told that once I installed and used CHROME, it took longer for the most part, the operation of any other browser. I removed CHROME better I could, for reasons of confidentiality, but I noticed in FIREFOX about: config many references to CHROME. I want to delete them. What is recommended or safe? Or would I be better to uninstall FIREFOX and download a new copy of it? ... and if so, how can I save my favorites, etc. ??
Best regards
Bill Lindquist

Hello Bill, none of the entries in firefox/a words of: config that contain the term 'chrome' is related to the browser google chrome.

chrome is a general term used to refer to the user interface of the browser (in contrast to the content - which is usually the information provided by Web sites). This reference is present in firefox long before the competing product with the same name came on the market.

    Hi templar_39,

    DM (Message Delivery) file types are not Windows files, they can be generated by a third-party program.

    This particular file type is often associated with audio data and can be hosted on some cell phones to be used as ringtones or multimedia clips. To my knowledge, these files can be generated by your mobile phone.

    Note: you can go ahead and remove these files only if you notice that the files do not contain any important information.

    If this happens without connect you all devices (like mobile PHONES), this may be a virus or malware activity. You can run a virus scan to get rid of them

  • Can I safely remove ' $ UPDATE.» «~ OS ' and ' WINDOWS$.» "~ BT" in C:\?

    Hello! I just noticed I UPGRADED $. ~ WINDOWS OS and $. ~ BT in the root of my C: drive. The old "size on disk" is 264 MB, and the last is 3.3 GB. The latter has tens of thousands of files and thousands of files.

    I ran the disk cleanup on the drive. It has eliminated a lot of files, but remain of these two files. I can't find anything about them online or in a search here. I can remove them safely?

  • Can I safely remove the Windows.old files?

    What's up guys?, I have a Compaq Presario supplied with the Windows Vista operating system, 32-bit. I backed up all my drivers on DVD and I downloaded a clean copy of Vista using an ISO on a DVD burner. I reinstalled the new copy put in my original product key, and he agreed. I reinstalled my drivers and all seems to work fine. I transferred all my data, mp3, jpeg, etc. for Flash readers and/or new programs on the new OS. The reason for the new OS was a virus infection which partially damaged the registry.  I really want to keep these files in the system for obvious reasons. Can I safely delete the files "Windows.old" and what would be the best way to do it?

  • I upgraded to CC 2015 and withdrawn only some of the apps 2014.  How can I safely remove?

    Hi all

    I've upgraded to the new versions of CC 2015 of the Creative Suite of Adobe, and he said he would remove the 2014 CC and older variants of the apps, but it did not. Is it possible to safely remove the others, or should I just drag to the trash? I have 2-3 versions of each application.

    Thank you
    Cratin

    Hi Cratin,

    If you open the files of the previous version. You'll find all the Plugins.

    Creative cloud removes previous versions, but not your Plugins.

    You can trash these files, if you want them.

  • can I safely remove the library documents reconstituted in windows 7?

    My computer (drive C) is a 9 GB of satiety, and I need to reclaim space for data.  Can I safely delete the files in the folder of reconstituted under my documents document library?

    If not, how can I recover more disk space?

    Hello

    You must understand a basic first concept.

    Libraries in Windows 7 do not contain the physical files. They show only a virtual display of the physical files that are contained in other physical files that have been added to the library.

    Example:

    By default, the Document library displays the files that are contained in the C:\Users\your utilisateur\Mes Documents folder and the folder C:\Users\Public\Public Documents .

    If you simply right click and delete the Document library, it will not add any free space on the C: drive.

    To add free space on the C: drive, you need to remove the C:\Users\your utilisateur\Mes Documents to the folder that contains the actual files.

    Before you do, make sure that you have backed up the files you do not want to lose.

    The best way to add free space on the C: drive, would be to move the Documents and other user folders to another drive internal or external.

    See the Second Option in the following tutorial.

    How to change the default location of user folders in Windows 7 and Windows 8:

  • Remove all references to IE8, IE9.

    I use IE11 on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.

    There are many references to registry to IE8 and IE9 in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main registry location. I want to remove these references REG_BINARY and REG_DWORD, but also the REG_BINARY WINDOW_PLACEMENT because IE11, no matter what I do, not, among other things, desktop shortcuts or full open or enlarged. I backed up the registry. I tried all the answers provided by the community, Google, Bing and a host of other search sites. IE11 also lock up, run very fast or drag his butt.

    Continuing along this question, in c:/Windows/winsxs there are dozens of files in which properties/details clearly version 8.* * and 9.* * which I believe must be eliminated as well. I think my pc is confused about things compared to Internet Explorer.

    I also scanned infinitum for horses of Trojan, virus, malware, etc. with Norton Security, Malwarebytes Pro, TrendMicro Housecall, Odile, Norton Power Eraser, SuperAnti Spyware and other known virus scanners, many of them have been recommended by Microsoft itself. I use not any what registry cleaners, fixers or doctors of any kind ever.

    So, please, all moderators and people at Microsoft, please weigh in on the work of the registry, I mentioned, and the winsxs works also. Or y at - it a setting that I forgot.

    I did 20 questions with a couple of moderators already so any help will be very appreciated.

    Thank you in advance!

    Hi Chris,

    Important: Serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, you must make sure that you follow the steps carefully. For extra protection, you can always back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: How do I back up and restore the registry in Windows

    Your question would be better suited for the IT Pro TechNet public. I ask so post you your question in the TechNet Forums.
