Disk Cleanup appears randomly * solved *.

We run Windows XP on some jobs here. Whenever I use my laptop disk cleanup appears and works on both my C (OS) and D (data) readers. He appears to be an automated process that it scans the files, then disappears very quickly. I already modified the registry to disable the disk cleanup on disks with small footprint (even though none of the drives are low on space) it. This seems to have solved the problem on my Windows 7 machines. I erased all the tasks in the Task Scheduler. It tends to get a lot worse once connected to the network and even worse when it is connected through the VPN. It happens almost to the point where the computer is unusable because it keeps flashing these messages to the top and steal the focus. I used Tweak UI if at least it does not my typing away the program I use, but it still flushing and is embarrassing. Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

I read somewhere that, in some cases, disk cleanup opens and begins to act as it did for me after, installs Office 2010 which turned out to be defective. We use a system of distribution of the package called Marimba which says installation failed (although the Office worked very well). I uninstalled Office using Marimba and then forced a policy update to reinstall. No disk cleanup message more. I guess they made things worse when the network/VPN because our 'packages' resident on dedicated servers and Office attempted to repair itself in the background, or the installation and has had a problem of localization of sources.

  • System error report Queuing (disk cleanup)

    I ran disk cleanup, the other day and noticed that section "Error in queue system report" had been 60 GB. I've never seen this before and literally just big, it appeared from nowhere. I could have checked to remove, but after having looked up to many forums, they do not advise as it could damage your computer. Any advice on what it is and how I should face?

    Yes, it's just a report. It should certainly not be this monstrous!

    This problem is often associated with a registry cleaner utility that deleted registry keys that it should not have. That's the risk you take when installing and running third most own utilities. They can get a little aggressive and remove or change the keys to Windows or other programs need to function properly.

    There is a small patch on the site www.vista64.com that recreate the necessary keys. Should solve the problem of the creation of this big files again.

    I hope this helps

  • How can I remove shortcut for Manager disk cleanup that presents itself as a pop up.

    I have a shortcut to disk cleanup Manager.  It appears on my screen as a pop up intermittently and is very annoying.  How can I remove this shortcut?

    Hello

    The only function of cleaning disc in Windows is a tool under properties of a hard disk. So, unless you right click on your hard drive, you have a pop up of malware piece. To get rid of it, I recommend two programs (both freeware). Download, install and run them, and then to quarantine and remove all infections they find:

    Malwarebytes' anti-malware: http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html.

    SuperAntiSpyware http://download.cnet.com/SuperAntiSpyware-Free-Edition/3000-8022_4-10523889.html.

    Then run your antivirus software and the quarantine and remove all the infections it finds. You have an antivirus software? I use and recommend Avast: http://download.cnet.com/Avast-Free-Antivirus/3000-2239_4-10019223.html .

    Let me know if this solves the problem for you.

    Kind regards

  • Firefox master password prompt appears randomly

    Whenever I open Firefox, password master prompt appears randomly in 30 seconds. Sometimes, I always sit on the home screen when I get to the command prompt.

    I tried updating Firefox, reinstall Firefox, I turned my requirement of password master on and out, rebooted the computer... nothing seems to work.

    I would like to either invite him immediately, as soon as I open my browser, or when it is really necessary, as when I open a login page. Not the current, apparently random aspect that disturbs me in the middle of browsing the web.

    This bug is so boring that it's a deal breaker for me. It is particularly annoying when I start typing something, and then the password master guest appears without warning and takes the focus of cursor with her. I have to stop what I'm doing, confront the master password prompt, and then go back to what I do.

    In the meantime, I switched to Chrome wire, which is to serve my needs very well, but I would go back to Firefox if I can solve this problem.

    Hi Will,

    Using Firefox Sync?

    In order to secure your login information from synchronization, you must unlock your master password before that Firefox can synchronize.

  • How can I disable the mini-bar of scrolling that appears randomly when scrolling?

    ProBook 4310 s, Windows 7

    When scrolling, a small scrollbox appears randomly and that he's taking me away from the page I'm scrolling on.  This happens when I use the small plate square to scroll.  It's the only 'function' most irritating of any computer I have ever owned or used, and I wish I could turn it off.  How to do that please?

    Hi Taxlady:

    I found the solution myself.  You have to start HP Support Assistant and choose the resolution of problems (the second of the four options, my copy is in Swedish so it may not be called Problem Solving but something similar).  Then choose the devices, one on the middle of the bottom row and the following Configuration for mouse and .  Here, you will get a new window with a menu five point on the left.  These elements will be something like:

    Overview, scroll, Point, buttons and other things I don't even understand Swedish for!

    Choose scrolling, and down there, you have a finger to scroll.  Disable horizontal and vertical scrolling, and your problems are over.

  • where can I find a disk cleanup program?

    I was told by someone who teaches computer science at the University to perform a disk cleanup every month. Where can I find such a program? Thank you.

    Free space - increase the hard disk space

    The following procedure cleans the files associated with your user account. You can also use Disk Cleanup to clean all the files on your computer.

  • Files dump debugging and log files to install in the disk cleanup window

    The two points above appear in my disk cleanup window, and I wonder if it is o: k to remove. The first occupies a space of 283 KB and the other 2537 KB. The description of these two files in the disk cleanup window is "files created by Windows.

    I have a second question: I have about 5 GB left as free space on my hard drive of 'C '. If this is considered sufficient, or should I get more? I am a senior retired and only use the computer for basic items.

    I have a computer Dell Dimension 4100 with Service Pack 3 for Windows XP - Home Edition Operating System - desktop, 111 Pentium with 930 MHZ, 20 GB hard drive and 512 MB RAM. The file system is FAT 32.

    Thank you very much for your cooperation and your response.

    "Debug dump files" are copies of the contents of your computer's memory.

    When a program crashes, it will sometimes "dump" all or part of the
    contents of the RAM to a file on your hard drive. The file is useful to
    a technical support person who tries to understand why the program
    crashed. (Most of the tech support people have no idea what to do with a dump
    file.)

    Unless you have been asked to submit a dump for inspection file, feel free
    to get rid of them.

    Setup logs files are "log" installation of a program. If you
    Watch a (they are really just text files - open with Notepad) you will have
    see that they give a blow by blow description of how the program has been
    installed, glorious detail.

    If a program does not properly settled, the Setup log will tell you what that
    was wrong. If you have not had a facility wrong, do not hesitate to ditch
    These files as well.

    On the question of how much free space on the disk is enough... There is no
    standards. 15% of your drive must be empty in order for Windows
    The Defragmenter built into the work. In addition, it is to you.
     
    Your processor is another story. It's not easy to find effective security
    software that will work on a P3. Even if you only use the computer
    for the basic elements, an internet connection is pretty basic for a online
    criminal to find you.

  • Disk Cleanup and Disk Defragmenter Hangs

    The DISK CLEANUP and DISK DEFRAGMENTER freezes when it COMPRESS OLD FILES

    Agreed - you must remove the option compress old files:

    Compress old files comes from the good old days, when hard drives were weak and slow, and he had to each byte, you can get on your hard drive for programs and things.  Today, thanks to modern technology, it is almost superfluous.

    If you want your cleaning disc to run faster, I would just remove the option compress old files on XP because it is known to crash or give the illusion of being hanged.  If you have 1 million files on your system, you'll wait a long time and your system may appear to be hung (maybe that's really).

    I really don't think that with the technology available today that compress old files is necessary.  It would have been slow you if XP needs unzip a file.  Besides, nobody seems to be able to tell me at what age an old file is in the XP terminology... what was simply a file become old?  I just remove this 'feature' and never see him again and my disk cleanup runs in a Flash, since it doesn't have to search for old files to compress (some old way).

    It is a 'problem' for some systems that Microsoft made an article on how to disable it (mine is disabled)

  • Disk Cleanup cleans too much

    After using the disk cleanup and/or delete cookies, click on 'my documents' sometimes gives me the message in a security alert box that says: "your current security settings do not allow this action".  It is related to the deletion of the temporary files and cookies.  I used regularly cleaning disc for years and never had this problem. I can reboot, which solves the problem, and sometimes clicking on Explorer windows me provides access. Called engineer and he is clueless.

    User ID for different sites used to stay if I cleaned my computer, but not now.  In the last two weeks or more, all settings, even those where I clicked "keep me signed in", have disappeared. I complete the info, but if I use drive clean once again, they will.  Another new problem is that cookies are now a few numbers and letters, so I can't identify the ones I know are related to passwords and I have to keep.  I didn't click anything to encrypt or hide. I'm too old to remember their so much used to manually remove the unwatedn everyone. Windows allows me to remember, but this box is gone for a while. Came back via AutoComplete, forms and passwords.

    To security settings preventing me from accessing my documents, "I tried to share the folder, separate, simple release file sharing, but trying to clean temporary files causes havoc without worrying." Looking for viruses and malware still ok.  Clean reinstall last year and he had a WORD six months ago. I use ie8 with XP. I am the only user and the administrator only.

    You started by saying that you have your problem "after using disk cleanup and/or delete cookies.  As a doctor, you should be familiar with the old joke:

    Patient: Doc, does it hurt when I do this.
    Doctor: Do not do this.

    When you run Disk Cleanup, do not check the box to clean 'Temporary Internet Files '.

    I don't use Internet Explorer much, but my suspicion is more related to your use of IE 8 than any change in disk cleanup.  If you wish to continue using IE 8 (rather than, for example, Firefox) and you want to continue your practice periodically remove all temporary Internet files and browser cookies, then I suggest that you re - post your question in the Forum of IE8, where someone who knows of IE8 can be able to provide substantive advice more.

    It (probably) won't be the problem alert security, but instead rely on your browser (whatever you choose to use) to store usernames and passwords, you can use a "password manager".   I don't am not sure that I'd recover completely "Top ten customers", but it gives you an idea of what is out there.  You can the rated and other research applications (or ask in the forum, IE).

  • Under XP, while doing a disk cleanup, get a message "files required for windows runs properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions.

    While doing a disk cleanup, I received a message "files which are required for windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions.» To maintain system stability, Windows must restore the original versions of these files. Insert your CD-ROM in Windows XP Home Edition now. "and I did not... I can restore it online?

    * original title - windows file protection *.

    Maybe someday the dialog box 'ask a question' forums XP will ask these questions automatically when a new thread is started so I don't have to ask every time.  It might even be possible to solve a problem in a single response when enough information is provided.

    Please provide additional information on your system:

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    If you have a genuine XP installation CD bootable which corresponds to your currently installed Service Pack, you won't get away with instructions to run sfc/scannow.

    Windows file protection wants to replace a file of the backup copy he keeps in the dllcache folder and WFP found that the backup copy of the file on your system is not look right, so he complains (there is a list of 3498 files PAM knows).

    When you see the original message, if you click Cancel, then choose 'keep' the file afflicted, you will see a warning message, and then a message like this in the case where the system log viewer:

    Event type: Information
    Event source: Windows File Protection
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 64005
    Description:
    The protected system file taskmgr.exe had not been restored in its original, valid version because the Windows File Protection restoration process was cancelled by user interaction, user name is Jose.  The file version of the bad file is unknown.

    As you can see, the file that WFP is concerned is clearly stated in the paper, so now you know what is the file.

    For the above example, I used my (taskmgr.exe) Task Manager file to reproduce the problem.  You need to see what your event viewer message says.

    When you know what the file is, you can decide what to do about it.  There are probably other copies of the files on your system, or you can get the files from another source.

    A shortcut to the event viewer is to click on start, run and enter in the box:

    eventvwr.msc

    Click OK to launch the event viewer.

    Check your event observer system log and look for a proposed Windows file protection event.

    If you double-click on an event, it will open a window of properties with more information.  On the right are black up and down arrow keys to scroll through the open events. The third button that looks like two overlapping pages is used to copy the details of the event in your Windows Clipboard.

    When you find an interesting event that occurred at the time of your question, click on the third button at the top and arrows to copy the details and then you can paste the details (right click, paste or CTRL-V) the text in detail here for analysis.  Remove personal information from your information
    After having stuck if you are forced to do so.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

    Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.

    Using the system restore option is most appropriate when your system is slow and you need to increase the free disk space on your C partition. If you have errors that could be solved by using the system restore to your system settings back to before the error occurred initially do not use this option.

    If more than one person uses the computer and they have their own user log you need to run Disk Cleanup in each user profile that you want to delete all the unwanted files.

    A better program of disk cleanup is cCleaner. Delete System Restore points may be important if you have little free disk space. The ability to delete them is one of the tools options. You can selectively remove those created in less important moments.

    cCleaner comes with a registry tool. Do not use this tool as any registry cleaner could lead to the creation of very difficult to resolve system errors.

  • When you use disk cleanup, drive D C and recovery should be included?

    When you use disk cleanup should you clean disk (C) operating system, and the recovery disc D. Then on drive c must only choose th files that are already enabled as the downloaded programs files and temp. Internet files or you need to clean more options?

    Do NOT run the cleaning or do anything at all on the recovery D: drive.   Do not add files, defragment, compress, chkdsk, or something else.  Let completely alone.

    Insofar as what to remove NSB C:\ drive, this decision is entirely yours.  You can add or remove options as you seem, and that you feel able to make - do as much as you can in these settings.  More your cleaning, the more you'll be available and, in some cases, it can even run your computer to start, and stop faster.

    I hope this helps.
