  How can we decompressed the files compressed in disk cleanup? (Windows XP, SP3)? I would like to do at once and not having to open each file, one at a time.

  Hi Johnm1938,

  Disk Cleanup tool detects removes the old compresses files unused for some specified duration and there is no way to decompress these files.

  You can use the method mentioned in the article for the unzip compressed on the computer.

• access to the files compressed after disk clean

  I have Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 SP3. Two nights ago, I ran Disk Clean Up and Defrag to improve speed. I used compress old files for the first time. Tonight I tried to access certain personal records and documents and they went. When I run a search for them, they are not accessible and are moved to the folder of My Documents and Settings or gone completely. I can only assume that this is due to the use "compress old files". How to access these compressed files?

  You say that you are missing a lot of files and folders...

  Compressed file always appears in a Windows search and will be in a default blue color.

  If you think the specific name of some of the files you are missing or part of the name, see if they find themselves in a search for Windows and if they do, where they are.  Adjust the search with more advanced options and tick the boxes in system folders search, search hidden files and folders, hidden files and folders, and search subfolders (this way it will look everywhere).

  Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the desktop, then the (Local Disk (C). assuming that XP is installed on your C drive

  Below, you should see the Documents and Settings folder, open then, and you will see a folder for each user on your system (and perhaps some that you do not recognize).  Each user has a folder under Documents and Settings.

  Double-click the folder associated with your user name (for example, Andrea) and you will see a My Documents folder that belongs to you.  Look in here and see what you can see if you understand how it works...  Look in my pictures, my videos, my music, etc and see if you see one of your items.

  Then go back up to the Documents and Settings folder and open the folder associated with the next user (even if you don't recognize it) and look in the Documents folder for this user (for example the Documents of Jose) and search there and see if you can locate your missing documents.  Repeat for all users folders Documents and see if you can find your stuff.

  I can't imagine what happened to your stuff, but thinking that perhaps your XP user profile has been corrupted somehow and when that happens, XP login with an account that works will record and you get connected, but this new account will have all the documents in it since they'll be in the Documents folder for another user whose profile corrupt (maybe).
  If this is the case, you can fix it, but you should see if you can find your stuff first.

  Anywho, use Windows Search to search for specific files or even wildcards as type names and see if you can determine if the files are actually missing or are just in other places when you are looking.

  I use the word "stuff" a lot today for a reason but that is my style of back.

  AND is it OK to delete to free up disk space?

  Hi Janie,
  We need a bit more info here. What you saw and where (or how do you here). XP can compress old files when they were little used. These files must be stored somewhere, and I think that you have found where. Do not delete them. If you went on the cleaning disc in the properties of a hard disk, you see where you can disable this active or disabled, but turn it off takes more space because you don't compress these files more. It can take a long time to turn it off too much because the system must find every file, unzip it save it to the hard drive and do the following. If it runs out of disk space free of it, it will stop and make either but then your hard drive will be very close to full and your entire system will slow down (it takes a good amount of HD to 'play'.

  Looks like you need more disk space. Get another drive (expensive) or go to disk cleanup and try to compress the entire drive. It will take a lot of time, maybe hours or overnight depending on the working speed and the player. But it's free. Overnight is best. I think you can stop it (read the help on this). Do not turn It Off during the race. Bad move.

  Something not clear, go back and ask.

• What does not compress files to save disk space?

  Original title: compress the disc

  Hi, I'm not very good with computers. in any case, I see in 'Properties' to the local c drive, there is an option to "compress files to save disk space", or something like that. I want to create more space on my disk, so io should do? It will have harmful effects on what it is? can it be undone? anything else I should know about it?

  Thank you very much

  He was never a good idea to compress a drive.

  Some system files and folders don't like it, and if there is a problem with the drive, it will be more difficult to work on the problem. If you have a problem with a compressed drive, after he went on half capacity, it becomes incredibly difficult as the first, must unpack the drive, and if there is not enough space on the disk, decompression does not.

  In my opinion? Do not...

• Virtualized temporary Internet Files eat up disk space. How can I stop this?

  Have encountered a problem of memory on my C drive and the holding of all recommendations usual cleaning only manages to free a few hundred MB. My hard drive is partitioned into a C and an E drive (each with 116 GB). I use Vista and Internet Explorer. (As far as I know, this is not a problem of RAM and my computer to not walk slowly.)

  The number of programs and files on my C drive not could represent almost 116 GB of memory, but I could find no other possible reason for my low disk space... until...

  I went to the guest orders and managed to do list all in the C drive. Then I spotted a directory which seems to contain a HUGE 94 GB of memory on the C drive. The exact name/address was as follows: C:\users\Kevin\Appdata\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Virtualized\C\Users\Kevin\Appdata\Local\FLVService. The list of files in this directory have been mainly youtube and almost all the other videos I've seen last year! (This folder does not appear in Windows Explorer.)

  Then, these videos are stored in virtual memory? They take place that much space? (The term 'virtual' throws me a bit). I can delete this file safely and how? And, finally, how to stop what is happening yet?

  So, thank you for reading this far and I would be really grateful for any help on this matter.

  Kevin.

  What problem you encounter when you try to delete the files?  FreeCorder has some options, you can use to purge or otherwise control the cache / repository it uses? That seems to be the easiest way to get rid of files and recover disk space.  Otherwise, uninstall (and reinstall maybe later) may present you with an option to clear the cache, the program uses.

• Windows media player encountered a problem burning the file on the disk

  What does that mean? Im trying to burn music to a disk and keep getting this msg... HELP... windows media player encountered a problem burning the file on the disk

  Hi michealarthur,

  Here are a few things to try:

  1. make sure that the disc is clean.

  2. Select a recording speed (write) more slow for the CD burner.

  3. try a different brand of blank discs.

  4. stop all other programs that are running.

  5 disable any programs that could activate themselves, while burning is in progress, such as screensavers or anti-virus programs.

  6. defragment your hard drive.

  7. make sure that the hard drive does not use disk compression.

• Vista, backups of files on a disk of Bookshelf (1. 5 t), worked, removed some daily newspapers (household), now get backup error: 0x80070005

  I am running Vista and make backups of files on a disk of Bookshelf (1. 5 t).  Everything went well (completing daily backups).  I tried to clean up by removing some daily file backups when I received the following error message: 0x80070005.  I think that what I did is to delete the files backup complete.  Now, I can't do a backup of files daily or full without getting the same error.  Any ideas?  Is it possible I can take all of the information off my shelf drive backup and start over again - as I have had to do originally?

• The initialization of the swap file to virtual disk periodically (40% of the time +/-) fails to start Windows

  Greetings-

  For the past year or so I put my Windows 7 32-bit, 8 GB RAM system to initialize the page automatically on a virtual disk file (in order to reduce the physical disk reads/writes and to speed up the access to the page files).

  Here's how I set up: I installed Dataram Ramdisk and configured to use memory beyond 4 GB (which, as everyone here knows, 32-bit Windows can not otherwise use) as the ramdisk.  In setting up manually formatted the 4 GB unallocated space virtual drive as an NTFS volume and it gave the letter a: (what else!). Then I got the software save an image file of the ramdisk formatted my hard drive F:. Additional configuration of the software wants to initialize the virtual disk to start and immediately copy the image file to the virtual disk, thus creating a 4 GB NTFS formatted volume a:. (Incidentally, I also use the virtual disk to the cache of the browser and the print spooler). The theory here is flawless. But to make it work in practice, the virtual disk must be initialized and the image file copied into ramdisk (making it a formatted disk R :) front Windows initializes the pagefile.

  It runs about 60% of the time, but for the remaining 40 percent Windows gives an error message indicating that Windows has created the page file in a temporary location (it's always the C: drive, the pagefile in general where default.). The only reasonable explanation I see why it fails is that, for nearly 40% of my computer boots window wants to initialize the page file before the ramdisk is ready to receive. What I don't understand is why that happens.

  This happen to my main question: is it possible to control the Windows boot sequence so that the ramdisk is initialized and the filename of the image copied to him on a basis consistent before Windows wants to initialize the page file? Operationally, I guess it boils down to whether it is possible, during each startup sequence, to delay initialization of the page files or to move the virtual boot record earlier in the sequence. If so, how to do that? If not, can someone explain why the order of the respective boots usually works, but does not reach a good amount as well?

  Ideas on this would be appreciated.

  Create a small paging file to 20 MB on the boot volume (the partition where the Windows files are installed) this way the session manager will be able to start the Windows session and create additional paging files without complaining.  You can have more than one paging on several disks, Windows will favour the less busy the disk paging file.

• VMFS block sizes - that affect files in the disks?

  Hi all

  I know that if we choose a larger block size, we can have a greater total disk (up to 2 TB I think). I also know that if I choose a larger block size, say 8 mb, so that even small files on my vmfs will lead up to 8 MB of disk space. My question is what about small files in vm disks as a windows ntfs running vm. Files on this comments will take the size of large blocks of 8 MB regarless of their size?

  8 mb, so let's say even small files on my vmfs will lead up to 8 MB of disk space

  No, it is a layer of void which takes into account more small files, LESS of pre determined threshold (I don't remember exactly what it is) are not part of this minimum block size.  For small files are 1/64 of the block size.  With the size of block 8 Meg they are 1/256 of the size of the block size.

  So I had the same problem to investigate files newspapers and others, and the VMFS takes into account so you don't waste space.
