• Deletion of files and folders in folder

  Can I remove all the files and folders in %Temp% + C:\Windows\Temp?

  In the past, someone in my mobile service provider broadband used remote control to remove all the temporary files for me as list above.  After that, I also made myself.  However, I still want to get some assurance that it is OK to do.

  One of the reasons is that disk cleanup does remove all the files and folders in these places... so I think that it is better to ask before I do it again.

  Advice, please?

  If the file is used as intended then yes it can be emptied if necessary

  Unfortunately, that's a big IF. Used properly included programs clean their installation files extracted temporarily once the installation is complete. The fact that the record needs compensation means they do not as it should. Because this includes many 3rd party software developers outside Microsoft's control, you can not categorically say that you never have problems.

  Personally, I've always never had problems. If you can't move the files to another temporary folder (son of Temp) and check for problems before deleting large total

• Delete the file mpasdlta.vdm and mpengine.dll files and folders

  I use Vista Home Premium (32-bit and 64-bit) on three computers.  Starting last August, the files and folders listed above associated began to appear on one of my computers.  According to Google, they are related to Microsoft Malware Protection, a piece of software that I have installed.  Records are now moved to six in total, and used storage space is more than 800 MB.  If I try to delete these files and folders, I'm told that I don't have permission.  (I am the only user of my computers and I have administrator privileges).  I started in safe mode, but get the same message of refusal.

  I looked at my software through the Control Panel-programs and features, but can not find such a program malware installed.  Given that these files do not appear on my other two computers configured in the same way, should not be needed.  How can I get rid of this mess, which continues to develop?

  Thanks in advance for any sober.

  To give the control is a two-step process. Take ownership and then to give permissions.

  Owner of a file allows the owner to change permissions even if they do not have the authorization to do so. It's the only thing that made property.

  You must then give you permission to delete the folder.

  In order to remove "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Definition Updates" for example.
  -----------------------------------------------
  Click Start - all programs - Accessories - Command Prompt right click and choose run as administrator. Type

  takeown /f "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Definition updates" / a/r

• How to set, view, change, or remove special permissions for files and folders in Windows XP

  It is a problem with iTunes. About 8 months ago I had to reinstall my operating system. When I reinstalled iTunes, it does not recognize my music already purchased. He tells me that songs should be allowed, I put my username and password and it tells me that they are allowed.

  So I finally emailed Apple support recently. They suggested that this is a problem with the permissions on the iTunes Media folder. Apple support gave me the following URL address: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308419/en-us.

  I followed the instructions on the Microsoft support site. But when I right click on the iTunes Media folder, and then click Properties, there is no security tab, with the following statement on the Microsoft Support site.

  I also tried the instructions for "If you are not joined to a domain and want to view theSecurity tab. "In Control Panel, I don't have the choice of themes & appearances. There is a choice of Folder Options, but once in the view tab, there is no choice ofuse simple file sharing.

  Windows XP, Internet Explorer 8,.

  I try to delete multiple photos and whenever I hit ctrl, hold down the key and left click on photos, remove, they breed

  and now I have more than 68 copies of less than 10 images, help!

  ==============================================
  Unwanted copies have file names with
  copy "prefix of"?

  Example: Copy of IMG_1455.JPG

  If_yes_maybe the following tutorial, I wrote
  for XP offers a few ideas:

  Also... There is a link to another method
  at the end of this tutorial.

  Here's how to reproduce the unwanted
  copy of...

  Hold down your CTRL key and select multiple files...

  Place your pointer over the selected group
  (holding the key ctrl) and left click / drag
  the group even just the slightest bit... now
  release the mouse button.

  Oooops... multiple copies...

  Maybe the following will help:

  Sometimes most of the person who
  trying to select multiple by holding the CTRL
  or the SHIFT key down while clicking on the left to select the
  image files.

  Copies are created when you are unable to
  completely release the mouse button before
  you move the pointer to another file. When a group
  the selected file is dragged... even the slightest
  release the mouse button will produce a bit...
  copies of all the files previously highlighted.

  It's a little easier if you have your folder
  Options set at single click... that way you can
  select/deselect a file with just a mouse more
  and you don't have to click. For multiples you
  I have to keep... CTRL or Shift.

  Do not click on... no slip... no copy... maybe that of
  your solution. To adjust the click...
  Open a folder and go... Tools / folder
  Options / General tab... Check... 'single click '.
  To open an item"/ apply / OK.

  If you want to delete all the files in a folder
  You can try the following:

  Reach... Edition / select all... or type... CTRL / has...

  With all of the files selected... go... Drop / delete...
  or press your delete key... or... click on the
  Group and choose 'delete '.

  How do I find and remove unwanted 'copies '.
  of your image files.

  Open the folder that the images are saved in and
  on the left, click on the button 'Search' in your toolbar.

  (If you view the files from a montage
  program and do not know where the record is... right
  Click on one of the image files and the menu...
  choose... Properties. The path to the folder will be
  in the tab 'General' to 'Place').

  In the research pane select... "All files and folders".

  In the "All or part of the file name" field. Come in...

  a copy of

  Now... on the left, click on the search"" button.

  When the search is complete... go to... Edition / select all...

  Then go to... Remove / delete.

  You will see a dialog box asking if you are sure
  you want to delete the files, click Yes.

  Now... on the left, click on the 'Back' button in your toolbar.

  Now the remaining files should be your originals.

  If you delete the wrong files... recover from
  your basket now.

• Finding deleted files and folders

  I have a woman living under my roof, which has decided to delete the value for the year of my photos and my files into oblivion...

  Any way to recover files that were not only sent in the trash but empty from there?
  I tried to restore my system to a date earlier and all records were back, but they were all empty.

  Is it possible to recover these files and folders still intact?

  Thank you

  It depends on how your file has been deleted.

  If your file was shreded using third party software so it is not possible...

  If it was simply window option Removing guy then... you have a restore option... You have not installed or copied all the files etc in the same place has PROVIDED...

  The best third party tool, you can use is the recovery of the PC a third-party tool...

  If you copied or whatever installed to the location where the files have been deleted... then stop trying you Cann't get back them...

• The files and folders in C:\Users\PC\AppData\Local\Temp can be deleted (Windows 7)?

  The files and folders in C:\Users\PC\AppData\Local\Temp can be deleted (Windows 7)?

  It is generally safe. Applications do not normally permanently store files there. If you're worried, use disk cleanup (cleanmgr) to clear the TEMP folder. By default, disk cleanup does not remove the files/folders that have been accessed in the last 7 days.

• Re: Qosmio G - hidden files and folders is not displayed

  Hi people, I have a few hidden files and folders, which I was able to access the front and I used to click on the "organize tab" display, advanced settings, display the files and folders to hide or show hidden files.

  Unfortunately, there seems to be a problem, I just can't access my hidden files and folders, even when I go through this method.
  someone help me please as soon as possible...

  Thank you

  Hi aaz911,

  First of all, it would be nice of you if you post information on your laptop model and the operating system. This must be done always to get a detailed response.

  In any case, I never heard of this problem, but make sure that all files will be displayed:
  Start Windows Explorer > tools > Folder Options > view and enable the following options:
  -Files and folders hidden: display the hidden files and folders
  -Hide protected operating system files (this should be disabled > unbranded).

  In addition you will find these missing files by using Windows search?

  If this isn't the case, I suppose the files are deleted from someone or due to a virus. :(

• problem with the Finder - files and folders displaying incorrectly

  After acquiring a new iMac, I noticed a problem with the Finder - files and folders are displayed wrong (see table).

  This is what happens always after the files have been transferred from one folder to another. I was reminded of my days of using Mac OS in the 1980s when automatic setting of files was not so "automatic." I use Mac OS for decades and I don't remember the last time I had to think about GUI problems like that.

  Other problems in the graphical display of files and folders were introduced, such as when you have hundreds of files in a single folder, you end up deleting about 30 to 40 of them say in a particular section, and you end up with gaps of the ChartSpace where files used to be, that is the remaining files automatically rearrange themselves (fill in these gaps) - never. A week later, you open the folder, and the gap of GUI is still there.

  I decided to do a clean install of the operating system but nothing works.

  Is there some setting in Prefs I'm missing?

  

  Hi there highland99,

  Looks like your folder icons are not accommodating themselves automatically you plan to do. To me, this indicates that you have organize by the None value in the view menu. You can change the way files and folders are prepared automatically by clicking on view > reorganize by and selecting how you would like that fixed.

• Files and folders in root appear in my folder of Documents and office

  It probably happens on the Windows NT-based versions (has happened to me on a XP PC and a PC in 2000 that I intend to upgrade both of them soon). The files and folders of the program directory (C :) root Windows upward in the office and the folder My Documents. These files are not shortcuts and they show that they are located in the root of the drive, even if they appear on the desktop and My Documents. They can be handled then that mirrored to the root of the drive. I dropped a simple file to the root one test while it appears on the locations and then I deleted the file of the said test from the office and he left root. They don't seem to do anything when I click on them. It is not happened to me before. Does anyone know how to fix this? Is this a bug?

  That is some progress.  Normally the desktop folder works the same way, where he will have a "location" at the top of the Properties tab.  This is a feature you'll see normally special "shell folders" as this (shell being the part of the operating system that see you, or the user interface).

  If it has lost its distinctive feature, you can usually restore it quickly in the registry.

  1. First of all, make sure that you have a folder that is named "Desktop" in your personal folder 'username '. You will set the registry to use this folder as storage of office location.
  2. Keep Windows Logo type R to display the run box, type REGEDIT and click OK and give permission to the administrator if necessary.
  3. Navigate through the list of files (registry keys) on the left to find this place:
     HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
  4. Look for the "Desktop" entry on the right (registry value), and double-click it to change data to be:
     %UserProfile%\desktop

     The %UserProfile% is a variable that is everywhere where your current profile is stored.  Administrators and power users can use it to move their entire profile without having to define all those places individually.

  5. Click OK to save it, and then close the registry editor.
  6. Lot of windows completely and reconnect of re - initialize your user profiles and folder locations. Or just restart your computer, either way :)

  At this point, right click and properties of the desktop folder should now have the expected location tab (let me know if not).

  If you ever want to move these places, a little advice: make sure that you have specified a folder name.  In other words, do not place your Documents to store in just the G: drive. Instead, create a folder on the target drive and don't forget in the location (such as G:\Docs).  One last thing: don't try to define both 'special' folders to be stored at the same single physical location (do not set two in the same place).

  Here is a picture of this registry on Windows 10 location, but these steps are the same, all the way back to Windows 2000 (maybe sooner).

  

  Let me know how it goes, I hope that he gets all cleared up.
