Delete the partition to boot the computer folder (drive E)

I just partitioned my hard drive - I have Vista on partition of 8 meg bootloader (my best guess) that Vista has chosen to call e., Docs on D and C is not like I would never use this player for what it is; is there a way I can get not appear when I load the Solution Explorer and click the folder of the computer? Not a major nuisance, but I noticed that whenever I see it. Paul

  • Had to install XP Pro in one folder other than the Windows folder. Can I delete the new folder without causing problems?

    I was cleaning some ad/bad/spyware on the computer of a friend. It runs XP Media Center 2005. When I restarted it, it wanted a password. He put never, ever. The only work around was to reinstall XP without deleting any of his files (more than 8000 music files) because it is not anything save. I put the new XP in a different folder, I named. After searching around, all of his stuff is there and I can access, but this new folder is take a LOT of resources/mem. There is almost nothing in this record, I can delete the new folder without compromising each other, installation? I think I would need to get rid of mode safe mode with command prompt. I did it so many times, but it's never happened to me. Help!

    Once you get the drive installed, simply use xcopy or Robocopy to copy the files, with a fairly large music 8000 drop these command-line utility will be faster than to try to copy them through the Windows Explorer GUI.  Xcopy is integrated with Windows XP, Robocopy is available for download from Microsoft.

    If I click on start and type in C: it correctly to the my C drive and shows all records.
    If I put in a UNC path, it will correctly here.
    So the problem is that nothing is displayed in the folder on the computer.

  • Problems with VC90 runtimes after deleting the winsxs folder. Installers now may not have write access to the winsxs folder?

    A bunch of programs does not start, saying: there is a problem with the 'side by side configuration. Sxstrace using and try to run one of these programs, the analyzed log file shows that it was looking for VC90 manifest files in the folder "winsxs/manifest", which he could not find.

    Programs that are looking for VC90 during installation will say I did not install and will try to install it, and then fail and leave. I tried to install the runtime myself, but get the following error:

  • Delete the _notes folder?

    There will be problems if I delete the _notes folder and do not send it to the server with my html pages?

    Using CS3.

    Thank you.

    Personally I think this is the best practice. I quite often use notes when you build a Web site is a very useful tool.

    The _notes are only used by Dreamweaver internally, but not by your site, so if you are working with Dreamweaver keep notes locally but just don't upload to the server.

  • How do I delete the system folder in the folder of the computer [SOLVED by myself]

    As you can see, it is not an option to remove this Chinese folder, it is also empty.

    I believe that I have this record of this cloud Chinese soft http://www.weiyun.com/act/10t.html?WYTAG=weiyun.portal.index service for Windows (10 TB, but I suggest only it to anyone, because it is completely in Chinese).

    The record does nothing wrong to my computer, but it is annoying and unnecessary.

    Note: I don' t have this folder on my admin user account on this standard user account.

    I found the solution...

    I use the registry editor to remove the unnecessary files, but...

    BE CAREFUL if you remove something else with the registry editor, you may damage your computer.

    In any case, open the registry editor and go to this path:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace

    And delete all the folders inside "NameSpace" - folder

    If you are not sure how to do this:

    1. Press 'Windows key' + Q
    2. Type: regedit
    3. Regedit open as administrator.
    4. Go to this folder: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace
    5. Delete all files within the folder namespace

    It's a way to train should look like (left the editor of the register, good record of the computer):

  • Cannot delete the old folder separate disk windows

    I had a system OS 3 for a while, Vista, Win7 RC and Win7 Pro.

    Win7 RC is pleased and I want to delete records from his drive to free up space.

    I took possession of the folder (including subfolders) windows and my account is an administrator with full control account, BUT when I try to delete the old directory of windows first it says I need give permission, I click on continue, she goes through the files, and then a box indicates that I need permission from account owner Joan to continue.

    I'm logged into this account. This account is me, but when I click on continue, it says access denied.

    It's the same with the old directory program files.

    I can't delete, or the old directory of users.

    None of them is used. All are owned by mey account (there are only two accounts put in place on my PC and mine's administrator.)

    I am running windows 7 Pro 64 bit installed on my E drive.

    The files that I want to delete are on the c drive.

    How this computer to recognize that my admin account has full right, remove the obsolete operating system?

    Thank you

    Can archaeologist, you access the OS Win 7 RC?

    If so, use it "Folder Options" in the control panel.

    To all the "hidden files" readable.

    You say that you are the administrator, you should be able to do.

    You also try to remove Vista, as well?

    Do the same with this.

    Why you be "denied access" is... because these system files 'hidden '.

    Once this has been done, you can now in Win 7 (the one you want to keep!).

  • Delete the ILifeAssetManagement folder

    Hi, can someone please tell me how I can delete the folder ilifeassetmanagement to my mac? Everything I found says that it is linked to the photo stream, however my photo stream is not and has never been enabled on my computer. However when I try to delete the file and empty the trash he immediately returned to its original location on my computer. Is wasting 8 GB of space on my computer that already has space problems, and it's ridiculously irritating that Apple has added data on my mac I have to not request, consent to or want to without my knowledge!

    The iLife applications are who need this folder "~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement / '.

    It is not only used for my photo stream.  If you do not use 'My Photo Stream' or 'Shared Albums', for example Family Album sharing, you can try to remove the ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets subfolder.

    It will work normally, because this 'active' subfolder is used only by the MyPhotoStream and shared albums.

    1. download but do NOT install the MSXML4 SP2 update from here:
    2. download AND install the utility Windows Installer Cleanup from here:
    4. open the Windows Installer Cleanup utility from the menu START. Should be found in:
    START > Windows Install Cleanup >...
    5 locate the FSX entry in the list, select it and remove it
    6 click on START
    7. click on "Control Panel."
    8. click on "Folder Options".
    9. uncheck "hide hidden files & folders".
    10. click on 'Apply' at the bottom right
    11. close all windows
    12. click on START
    13. click on 'computer '.
    14. click on "Local disk (c :))".
    15 go in Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator X
    16. If there is any files, delete them
    17. Subsequently, go back one folder and delete the folder of the Flight Simulator X
    18. Once this is done, close all programs, restart the computer and then try to reinstall the game

  • Cannot delete the file/folder even in Administrator Mode or Mode safe

    I. hate. Vista. Windows XP has NEVER been this difficult to work with!

    I recently installed MagicISO. Didn't like it, so I deleted it. He left behind a small dll file and the folder. I wanted to remove both, couldn't.

    Tried safe mode. FAILED

    Administrator account I tried. FAILED

    Tried both together. FAILED

    Help me please? How could I not have permission to delete a file in administrator mode? Seriously, Windows Vista is just messed up all unrecognizable... * rant rant rant *.

    In fact, I thought that the answer.

    Went to safe mode.

    Used ShellExViewer (RUN AS ADMIN) and disabled MagicISO.

    Walked over to the directory and delete the .dll and the folder that it is.

    Restarted my computer in normal mode.

    Problem solved.

    Thank you all for helping me. I appreciate it a lot! I don't know what I'd do without you people. : D

    One thing you can do if you can not do the work for something like this in Windows is to download a Linux Live CD and boot from that. When you start in the Live CD, you can delete the folder.

    If you follow this way you won't have to reinstall your right boot OS into something else for a moment.

    I can't delete the folder \\JONESPC\Users\Jack2 I tried to use regedit, but just ended up with a new \\JONESPC\Users\Jack2.JONESP folder

    This problem occurred when I tried to change the username to my main account I could do successfully by using the mode without fail & regedit
    But in the process, I created a new account I wanted to delete it later
    I went through the normal process via Add or remove user accounts & then click on delete the user account & then remove all files
    But this folder Jack2 remains!

    Then try:

    1. Safe boot mode.
    2. Log in as Jack.
    3. Property to enter the profile folders that bothers you - see here.
    4. Rename the folders unwanted profile by adding the suffix .junk.
    5. Wait a week.
    6. If all goes well, remove the folders of .junk.
