Cannot delete the user (PCName) to network on the Windows 8.1 desktop locations

Hello

I decided to build a new office and built once connected to my home network and "found" an old PC and quickly added 3 icons "Windows Media Player" under the network locations tab of the computer in Windows Explorer.

Each icon is labeled with (pcname) username, where username is a user account on the old PC, for example Paul (OurOldPC).

I am now trying to delete these 3 locations 'network' as this old PC is is more work, but try as I might I have not been able to do.

It seemed that it would be easy, I right click and then clicked on 'remove the instrument. He asked if I was sure that I wanted to remove it and I clicked on Yes. However, it is still there!

I had a glance through the registry and users/Paul/AppData but impossible to spot anything that had the air associated with the 3 locations.

I'd appreciate help on what is frustrating to have these 3 places to hang out.

When you connect under a different name, that the locations do not show, then it seems to be something specific to my account.

How can I remove these 3 places?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Paul

  1. You are using cable or wireless network connection?
  2. You use a third-party antivirus program?
  3. You get the error message?

Hi John,.

In response to your questions above:

I use a wired network

I use AVG Antivirus

I have an error message.

While previously the solution I tried the regedit approach, but there is no profile other than the one that had an entry by name: ProfileName: data network.

Have to admit that I was not deleted as I was a little hesitant that it would be useful.

What I was doing well, it's once again try to remove office (x) via Windows Explorer.

I already said that right-click on the icon and slide on "Remove the instrument" has not removed the device, but I have since found that the selection of the device then goes to the "Media access" icon and selecting 'Disconnect from the media server' work.

I think I was probably made the wrong way before. My second approach has worked.

Thank you very much for you help in this area and I'm sorry to have wasted your time.

Paul

  • Impossible to remove an unknown account, get the error 'cannot delete the unknown account because this object inherits permissions from its parent.

    I have several programs that when I go to security there is an unknown account and when I try to delete unknown account I get this message that you cannot delete the Unknown(S-1...) account because this object inherits from its parent perssions. To delete the Unknown(S-1...) account, you must prevent this object from inheriting permissions. Turn off the option for the inheritance of permissions and then try to delete the Unknown(S-1...) account again. I tried the edit and advance features in respect of security without success. Why have I not control over security permissions?

    Found a solution to this problem.

    Go to the folder parent of the folder that contains the files with this unknown account number:
    1. right click on the PARENT folder, and then click Properties.
    2. on the Security tab, go to the advanced options (bottom window)
    3. in the new window, click the button change the permissions in the bottom.
    4. Select the Group (NOT AUTHENTICATED, just of users USERS) users
    5. check "replace all permissions of child object with permissions inheritable of this object.
    6. click on the OK button or apply and done, fixed number.

    Hope this helps anyone else having this problem, for me it happened after reinstallation of win 7 on the same machine and keep my images on another partition, so it was spared by the new facility, so the old user account was always on the file permissions.

  • Cannot delete the file - Windows 7 cannot check location

    Hello all,.

    After the upgrade to Windows 7, I tried to delete the Windows.old folder. However, I encountered a problem; There are two files in this folder that Windows 7 can not remove. When I try to delete them, I get an error message stating that Windows cannot locate the two files and it asks me to check their location. Is there a way to get around this?

    Thank you

    Garrick

    When the above does not work, try this:

    1. click on windows orb
    2. type cmd in the search box
    3. right click on cmd in the results menu and click on run as administrator
    4. control windows opens, must be in the directory c:\windows\system32
    5. go into c:\ do this type cd... until you reach c:\
    6 goto directory where the file to be deleted. example c:\windows.old\users
    7 type rd /s (directory name)
    8 get invites to delete y/n type y and press on enter

    After successful removal, you can check the windows Explorer and see that the file is missing.

    Example, I have a directory on my c drive named windows.old, under windows.old that I have a user directory and then several subdirectories, 1 directory happens to be named bill. For some reason any windows can not find this place and will not delete the folder. I then who follow the previous steps and remove this directory.

    So, in step 6, I would like to c:\windows.old\users goto, I then head to step 7 and enter the rd/s Bill and enter. Follow step 8 and the file is missing.

    Let us know if that helps.

  • Cannot delete the folder where the backup is saved.

    I have recently reinstalled Windows.

    I have restored my backup in a 'special' folder on the desktop, so I can have the most control over what to keep and what to delete.

    I tried to regain control and possession but still get an error Windows cannot delete the folder. and with two options, "try again" and "Cancel".

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    Cannot delete the file.  Says "not not found could not find this item check the location of this object and try again."

    I got this file from my friend got sent - is a word document, I had on their computer.  So I tried to use Disk Cleanup to delete temporary files, temporary internet files and files program downloaded.  Does not work.

    When I check the properties, there is no security tab so I can't transfer ownership in this way.

    I don't want to experiment using the way of the transfer of ownership command prompt as the name of the file is several sentences long.  I can't rename it either, of course.

    Windows 7, a week and I already have a stupid problem which has already lost an hour of my time.

    What I did was to create a Notepad file that was empty and saved in the same location as the file that won't go away.  Once registered.  I click with the right button on the new file and rename the exact name as the file problem.  Don't forget to change the file extension (ex: .doc)

    ex file problem: word.doc

    new file: word.doc

    as long as they match eachother exactly you should see the file problem disappear and once that's gone, you can delete the new file created.
