Delete files in Windows 7
Cannot delete certain files/folders with Windows 7, cannot move permissions to TrustedInstaller to administrator, any ideas.
So, please answer the question: what is a simple way for us to delete files protected in W7?
Hi Bob
The system files in Windows 7 is much more complex than previous versions of Windows.
There are a lot of files/folders that if they are deleted could render the system unusable.
It would be completely irresponsible automatically assume that any user is an advanced expert and he understands the consequences of deleting a critical file or folder. That's why we need to know the name and the location of the files/folders involved before posting any information on the withdrawal of their.
With W7, I can't install IE9 on the laptop from a friend, because IE8 files in the system that I can't "Uninstall" for a reason; It does not appear on the list of the programs and features Control Panel to uninstall.
For your problem with IE8, please ask your question in the following forum.

How to restore deleted files from Windows Media Player
Hi, I decided to use Windows Media Player as a software for my Samsung s3 mp3 player.
He acknowledged the mp3 player, so I've seen a few pictures, the mp3 player has (thanks to Windows Media Player), but I accidentally deleted.
Now they are gone, and I can not find them...
How can we get them?

When this problem happens:
* You try to delete files, from any folder: a folder user protected (such as your desktop), a protected windows folder (such as program files) or an unprotected folder you created yourself (for example, a folder named "test" on your C permit)
* The problem only occurs when you try to delete files using Windows Explorer. The problem only IS NOT OCCUR when you delete the files from another system using one hand (log on to another computer, open a shared folder, for example by opening \\windows7system\c$\test and try to remove this folder).What's happening:
* Explorer crashes when 'Calculating' the features of folder.Question:
* Why is this happening? It seems to be a problem in Explorer, not in the delete code actually (since the problem does not occur with one hand)I don't know the underlying cause or how to fix it. However, something like Unlocker would work.

"File permission error" during deleting files on Windows 7
Hello
I'm running Labview 2011 and have an application that has been developed to run on Windows XP. The part of the application deletes a file from the System32 folder, and then replaces it with another version of the same file (based on a specific condition). It worked perfectly on Windows XP. Now that I've migrated to Windows 7, I changed the path to access the SysWOW64 folder, where now stands the same file. Now when I run the program, during the phase of elimination, I get the following error:
Possible reasons:
LabVIEW: File permission error. You do not have the correct permissions for the file.
When I try to manually delete the file in the SysWOW64 folder, I get a popup to confirm the progress of the removal. The file is then deleted.
Is there anyway that I can get permission to delete the file is automatically? I also tried to use the "Set permission" VI with the permission set to 511 (octal 777) but that VI also threw up the same file permission error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Arun
Try to run your application with the option "Run As Administrator". Windows 7 is very restrictive on who can do what. It's generally a bad idea that requires deleting file to a system folder. I think you should consider using a temporary directory to avoid this problem.

How can I find a list of the names of files that have been deleted by mistake?
I don't need to recover the files, just to know what files have been removed from my pc.
Thank you

Cannot delete file in windows Media Player
I can delete video files from Windows Media Player. I think that I deleted them before somehow but standard photos (balloon, balloons) always appear in video library for all deleted files and try right-click and delete is not remove them from the library. There is no error message when you try to remove them and when you try to play them you get Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file. I don't want to play the file I want to just delete it.
You probably need to reset the library to get rid of the files in the library. Note firstly reset the library will make you lose all play counts and ratings too. Then, follow these steps:
-Restart the PC.
-Click Start, type services.msc in the search field and press ENTER. In Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service . If its status is started , double-click the service, and then click stop .
-Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
-In this folder, rename the folder Media Player as Old Media Player . If you do not see the folder, then it is probably hidden. Set Explorer to view the hidden files and folders and show protected system files.
-Launch WMP, your library will have been reset and will be rebuilt.Tim Baets

Cannot delete files from Windows Media Player library.
Original title: deleting files problem
I deleted a large number of music of my WMP library & computer files, but they are still listed in WMP. I can't play any of them as they were deleted, and I get a message telling me so when I try! Why are they still displayed in the list and how do I get rid of them? I tried to restart, changing the target folder, etc., without change. I even tried to remove all of the library (but not the computer this time) and they do not always go!
Hi Jamie,
Welcome to Microsoft Community where you can find all the answers related to Windows.
According to the description provided, looks like you are not able to completely remove the files in Windows Media Player.
I have a couple of steps that should help you to solve this problem.
You can try to clear the database of Windows Media Player and check if it clears the titles and generic icons.
To do this, follow these steps:
Method 1:
1. exit Windows Media Player.
2. click on Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player in the start search box and enter.
3. Select all the files in the folder, and then click delete on the file menu.
Note you don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.
4. restart Windows Media Player.
Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.
Method 2:
If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:
1. exit Windows Media Player.
2. click on Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the start search box and enter.
3 select the folder Media Player, and then click delete on the file menu.
4. restart Windows Media Player.
Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.
Keep us informed on the status of the issue. If you face problems more when working with Windows post on Microsoft Community.

I have a problem with adding and deleting files in Windows Media Player.
Media Player will not play the selected files but then goes on to play other files. When I delete the files from the media player and try re - add I get the message "the media player is installed incorrectly. Have tried to reinstall media player, but it always fails at the implementation stage. It seems that the link between the player and the music files has been corrupted. Further, I have not found another way to read these files! They are referred to as Windows media audio files. Is that mean that only Media Player can read? I have hundreds of music files. Any help please? I can't upgrade XP on this computer so intended to stick with it for another year or so.

You can copy music from walkman to computer files by connecting it as a storage device. See the link below: transfer music using Windows Explorer: http://esupport.sony.com/docs/portable/NWZE353-E354-E355/4192093111/eng/contents/02/03/01/01.html

Lost/Missing/Deleted - file "c:\Windows\repair\system.
Laptop: gateway MX3225 / XP Home Edition / 1 GB Ram / fully updated to SP3 / M 1.5 G CPU
Had a virus and removed TI rebooted for system, black screen of death, managed to install Recovery Console, use step 1 by recovering a corrupted registry, ended up with missing or corrupt 'system32\config\system file', and looked in the repair directory there is no file in my "c:\windows\repair" folder that says 'system '. I have no way to use a cd drive or a USB on the laptop. Do I have to redo a file 'repair\system' from scratch, or is it on the hard drive in another directory? I read each article of Microsoft on the corrupted file / lack of issue, but there is no explanation for the repair file to miss.
Again miss me the real "system" file in the directory "c:\windows\repair".
I would write my own file system for this last reference if I do another repair of system like this, it would save a lot of my time.
Any help will be appreciated
Hey
You should see if you never save your date, u did I guess.
In any case, type the following lines of information in the order for Recovery Console screen and press (Enter) after each line:
MD tmp
1-copy c:\windows\system32\config\system c:\windows\tmp\system.bak
2-delete c:\windows\system32\config\system
3 - copy c:\windows\repair\system c:\windows\system32\config\system
Let me know how it when.
