During execution of the backup and maintenance on one of my computers (Windows xp home, sp3), I noticed a folder and the file that I can't identify. The name of the folder is cc68f6b7a7ca948eefb018f001 and the name of the update.exe file. The properties of the file that it is a Windows Service Pack installation. I tried Googling the name of the folder, but found nothing.
Can you tell me with regard to this issue, and what, if anything, I have to do?
Thank you.
When some programs (including Windows) installs things, it can create a temporary folder composed of 20-30 random letters and numbers or random numbers and letters in the root of the drive of the volume with more free space.
This explains why the records are sometimes on your C drive or any other drive - the most space?
For example, you can see a similar to or called folder:
D:\9470bb12e8a4f3447657236478e41c5
There may be other folders and files in this main temporary folder such as amd64 and i386 platforms.
They should normally be deleted when the installation is complete, but sometimes they are not - especially if the installation fails. They are harmless but annoying. You can think something is wrong when there are no or fear, that the files are really necessary. To avoid confusion, you can delete the temporary files.
If your installation has failed or the installation does not remove the folder to the random name when it finishes running again installation will be another folder at the random name.
You may be able to identify installation (out of curiosity) by looking at some of the contents of the folder and decide if this installation was not serious, just remove the files/folders. If the installation does not work for some reason, run again just installation will create a new temporary folder to the random name so the old temporary folder is really useless.
Records are sometimes tough to remove. Even if you are an administrator on the system, you might get a "sharing violation", "access denied", "used" or type similar message when you try to delete temporary folders. Facilities sometimes use different permissions that can have a regular user with the administrator group.
There are many methods to try to remove the folders, and some require third party programs to install or change some windows settings that could compromise the security of your system if you do not change them back when you're done.
Start your system in Mode safe mode (by pressing the F8 key several times just before XP attempts to load) is one good method to try to remove the files because it does not have to make any changes to your system configuration or by downloading third-party programs.
If you are running XP Home Edition, the following section on turn off "Simple file sharing" does not apply to you since in XP Home, Simple file sharing is always turned on. If you are running XP Home Edition, skip the next few paragraphs and resume where it says:
"If no part tool above work try a third popular called Unlocker.
If Safe Mode does not work you can change the security of the folder when you start in Normal Mode to give your username full control over the files by navigating to it in Solution Explorer, click on tools, Folder Options, view and in the advanced settings window, uncheck (at the bottom of the list) use simple file sharing (recommended) and click OK. This disables him recommended simple file sharing on your computer if you want to turn it back on when you're done to make everything you do.
Right-click on the files of interest, click Properties and click the now visible security tab. Change the properties, but you need (for example, select your user name, and check the box to allow full control), click OK to apply the changes.
With usage share of active simple files (recommended) the checked the properties of the folder tabs are:
General, sharing, customize
With the use of sharing files simple disabled (recommended) box unchecked, the properties of the folder tabs are:
General, security, customize
Now, try to manipulate/delete the folder.
It's a good idea to go back to the Explorer and the cheque in the box easy to use sharing files (recommended) when you have finished making everything you do.
If none of the above works, try a popular third-party tool called Unlocker.
Unlocker can be downloaded here:
http://www.emptyloop.com/Unlocker/
If you use Unlocker, be sure to install because he wants to add a bunch of options, addons, shortcuts and other extras that you don't need.
You must add the shell extension so when you right click on the offending file, you will have a Unlocker option to choose. I would just install it long enough to clean up the leftovers and then, I usually just uninstall and all parts of it. You can always install it again another day if you like.
Unlocker can be uninstalled when you have finished using it.
Reboot when finished to ensure that boring records are really missing.

Windows broke down and I need to reinstall Vista. So I can make a backup of my favorites, but I guess that there is a file somewhere on my crashed disk that bears this detail. If so, can I copy this file and replace in my new installation of firefox. If this file exists, I would like to know the name of the file that I need to copy and that I could find it in the directory.
The anonymous gives path is for Vista not XP.
The "places.sqlite" file is the file that contains your bookmarks and history. It is located in your profile folder.
See:
http://support.Mozilla.com/en-us/KB/profiles#How_to_find_your_profile
Display the hidden files and foldersIn XP, the path is usually:
C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default
("xxxxxxxx" is a unique alphanumeric identifier)When you copy data from your OLD profile to your NEW profile, copy individual FILES (some require more than 1 FILE). DO NOT copy the entire OLD PROFILE folder; It will not work.

When you reinstall Windows correctly, you start from the CD. Is it
what you were doing?If so, the installation starts formatting the disk for you, then all the
your files are gone.And by the way, reinstalling Windows due to an infection by the virus is
almost always way exaggerated. There are several very good anti-virus
programs that could probably removed the virus for you.Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP (Windows desktop experience) since 2003

Windows 7: search does not find the files that should be. I have indexed directory and *.php included on the list of extensions, but search can't find files for Word searches that I know there are files with these words in them.
If you're frustrated by research (aka Desktop Search), you are not alone. Click the Start button and type find and click the button 'change the way Windows search'. Now click on the Advanced button and select the tab file types scroll down and find your type of file (in your case .php) and make sure the radio button "index properties and the content of the file" is selected for the file type.
Out the form by clicking on the OK button, but do not close the form when you click the Advanced button.
Then, you may need to change the indexing locations. If the folder where your files are located is not known for indexing search, then search is not even bother looking for here (a source of frustration for many users). Maybe your files are located on another drive or partition without the knowledge of the indexing engine. Using the options icon and select/deselect expand, make sure that at least the files of interest are included for the indexed locations. I hope this helps.

Creative Cloud Lightroom import records show that year and not the name of the file that I created
When I import files from an SD card to Lightroom, I import to an external drive as my file. Indicates the name of the folder to the year (2015) and not the name of the file that I created (Fort Worth, 12152015). This has happened with every import that I've done so far. How can I fix it?
The copy option is used to copy the files from your camera card. The Add option is used when the files are already on your hard drive. They must be copied, just added to the Lightroom Catalog. You can simply add the files that are located on a map of the camera. They must be copied to the hard drive first.
