• How Win764() will not work if I install programs elsewhere other than the default Program Files folders?

  The reason for this question is that I want both 1.) Learn more about Win7 64 bit works, as well as 2.) understand the scope of customization possible.

  In any case, first of all, what this scenario: what happens if I create a subfolder in each of the two Program Files folders? Say, in the (x 86) program, I create a subfolder called Programs (x 86). Or another name, whatever and say that I do the same thing for the Program Files folder. So, what happens if instead of installing all my software back into the default directory Program Files or program (x 86), what happens if I start to install in these subdirectories to the place?

  Everything works fine? I heard that these two Program Files folders have assignments to special access for security reasons. As I start working on these issues, the same security structure would be preserved, correct? Second, everything will work correctly not only wise, but in terms of features? I know that each of the Program Files folders also has its own common files folder. If I make my method, installed programs to put their files in the Common Files folder correctly, and then get back them properly when necessary?

  Finally, I would also like to know out of curiosity, what would happen if I don't use the program files directories at all and instead started to install things in a completely different directory. But that is less an issue for me at the moment. I just want to know if what I have set out above would be good or not.

  Thank you!

  Hi StormRyder

  This issue is beyond the scope of these level consumer forums.

  I would recommend that you post on the Technet ITPro Windows 7 forumsfollow-up questions. Advanced on these forums users are more familiar with these types of settings, and may explain some of the common pitfalls you may encounter, as well as how to be ready in case something goes wrong.

  I hope this helps.

  Thank you for using Windows 7

• How to remove multiple Firefox beta 4 under Program Files folders. Just delete? Profile data appear to be under Beta 12 and 8 Beta for example.

  Currently under Firefox 4.0.1.
  under Program Files, there are the following folders:

  Mozilla Firefox
  Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta 7
  Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta 8
  Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta 12

  The first two have only 2 records each (extensions and plugins)
  the other two have a lot of folders, files .dll etc.

  Profile data is stored elsewhere, you can remove the old records of installation of Firefox if you wish.

  For info on Windows 7, profile folders are located here - default C:\Users\ < windows user name > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

• Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit has a record of program data as well as the two program files folders?

  Just got a Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit installation business, I noticed that some Instalss did not work properly. I noticed two folders in program files, I know are there for 32 and 64-bit programs, but I don't have a program data folder as I did when I got Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit

  Yes, you need to them.

  Programs of data - stores data in your applications.

  Program Files (x 86) - stores your 32-bit applications

  Program file - store your 64-bit applications.

  This is only on 64 bit versions of Windows.

  Its ok, so leave it alone.

• Combining programs, files, folders, etc from two user accounts has a handset (i.e. administrative)

  Hello

  When I transferred files and folders, etc from my old computer to my new one, it divided them in two user accounts, which is the administrator (apparently I got the documents under two users on my old computer but didn't). The problem is now I have to go back between the two accounts to show different things. I would like to know if there is a way to combine everything that the two user accounts into one, preferably the administrator account. Does anyone know of a way to do this?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  1 from your ADMIN account making another account with the same password - give him ADMIN -.
  It's your safety valve and test and difficulty. Always keep a handy unused Admin account.

  Now, from your ADMIN account, you can access the user folders in the other USER account.
  Use start - computer or Windows Explorer to access your USER account - then copy the
  the data of its foldes in the same folders on your ADMIN account work (only data - not)
  programs). Do not copy on the data files of your ADMIN account USER account
  something similar as Document there are files with the same names, yet who have different
  content - if existing ones rename the files in the files of the USER before completing the copy.

  C:\USERS\YourUserAccount\Documents\ copy

  C:\USERS\YourAdminAccount\Documents\

  Be careful to not to overwrite files with the same name (copy will warn you).

  Repeat with the other data files.

  The process is similar to migrating from a damaged account - just pretend for the USER account
  is corrupted and migrate towards your work account ADMIN as here:

• Why have I not 2 folders in program files in my C: drive?

  Why I click on computer / C: I noticed I have to separate the program files folders.

  one is called "program files".

  the other is called "program files (x 86)".

  the x 86 folder has more programs in what the other folder

  I know that my computer is infected, but I can't run programs all anti virus in safe mode

  Help, please! Thank you

  I can't tell from the above, if you are infected, but that you have both of these folders is * not * a symptom of an infection.

  You are running Windows 7 64 bit. What you describe is normal for the 64-bit version. Program files is the folder program files (x 86) and 64-bit programs is the folder for 32-bit programs.

  Yes, the x 86 foler has more programs, buecause like the rest of us, you have much more 32-bit programs than 64-bit. 64-bit is new enough that not a lot of 64-bit programs is still availoble.

• Program files folder

  I use Windows XP Prof SP3.

  I was going over my "program files folders" in WIndows Explorer and noticed a "ESTsoft' folder.

  I checked Add/Remove Programs, but there is no software on the list program.

  What is ESTsoft, how does settle, and the removable file without causing problems?

  ESTSoft is a South Korean software company.  The record is there because you have installed one or more products from ESTSoft, either intentionally or because it was delivered with something else that you downloaded.  If the folder is empty, you can remove it without any problem; If the folder is not empty, delete it without doubt will be something that you have installed will no longer work.

  See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESTsoft

• Program files (x 86) and Program files.

  I would like to know what is the difference between Program files (x 86) and program files folders, they are both necessary for the functioning of the system and do they have anything to do with the operation of 32 and 64-bit Vista?

  These files both contain some but not all of the same files, why is it so?.

  Program files (x 86) provides you with the location for 32-bit software, and the Program folder files is that of your 64-bit software. Because Windows Vista can run 32-bit applications using the wow64 emulator, it's a good design decision to separate the location of programs with different architecture types.

• I have deleted accedentaly program file folder IDT (51)

  I have deleted accendentaly folder of the IDT program file (51). There are two program files folders, IDT and IDT (51). I have deleted accendentaly IDT (51). My sound still works, but I don't know if something happened to my IDT audio. Can someone please tell me what file folder is IDT (51) and if it will affect my quality of sound, thank you for your time, lnachtigal.

  One more thing, I also tried to restore my computer to an earlier time using microsoft system restore, but it didn't restore this file.

  Hello lnachtigal,

  The Program Files folder contains the files required to run programs on your computer. IDT file would ideally have the required files to run the audio program on your computer. If the sound still works on your computer after you remove the folder means that pilots are still intact on your computer.

  I suggest you reinstall the Audio drivers on your computer using the motherboard CD that received you when you bought the computer. Reinstall the drivers would re-create the files that have been deleted.

  Thank you

• Problems with the opening of attachments when the user has restristed privilege to run executable code from Program Files and Windows folders.

  I'm trying to prevent users from running potentially dangerous files. According to the Windows policies so I put. Users can run any application Program Files, files (x 86), windows, and folder to all users of the program office. Users have no permission to write anything in this files. When the user double clicks for example document.doc on his desk - document opens fine with MS Word. But when the user tries to open this document in attachment directly (by selecting open with MS Word, instead of the economy) - he sees an error - "this action is limited by local politics. Ask your system administrator. "(not exact text).

   So I want, users able to open attachments from Thunderbird automatically, but not able to run any application or link, except Program Files, Program Files (x86), Windows and all users' desktop folder. How can I get this result?
  

  Thanks in advance.
  Calvo is serious.

  PS Sorry for my bad English. It is not my mother tongue.

  Thanks for responding.
  I discovered what was going on.
  This strange "bug" affects multiple computers with Windows 7 Ultimate in my case.
  When you create a SRP (software restriction policies) it creates two rules by default to run programs: windows folder and the Program Files folder. I manually add "C:\Program Files (x 86)" in places without restriction. BUT Windows and Program Files folder to default rules directly, but through registry keys. And this part seems difficult. You CAN run the executable files of Program Files. You CAN run the Program Files (x 86) executables. But if Thunderbird or Firefox try to run MS Word or excel or editor for.doc or *.odt opening or another file - downloaded files running programs blocked by SRP.
  In order to fix this, simply replace the rules for indirect paths like % HKLM/software/microsoft/windows... etc % with direct, for example "C:/Windows" and "C:/Program Files /". After that, everything works fine. Attachments and downloaded files automatically opens without a problem.

• What will happen if I merge my file folders x 86 program on another hard drive?

  I have three hard drives in my PC and you want to combine the files Program Files x 86 starting from the following locations to a folder on the third hard disk.
  Total size
  C: drive is a SSD 128 GB with Windows 7 64 bit installed. Readers (with Windows XP installed) D: and F: are each 500 GB HARD drive at 7200 RPM drives.

  Former locations
  C:\Windows.old\Program files (x 86): since a Windows XP install before
  C:\Program Files (x 86): Windows 7
  D:\Program Files (x 86): Windows XP hard drive

  Location to move to
  F:\Program files (x 86): backup unit to consolidate/merge files of

  My question is: what happens if I merged all the files together into one and delete the files from their current location, other than maybe broken shortcuts?

  Only (x 86) C:\Program is really active, unless since the last installation of Windows, you actually told an installer of programs to use one of the other locations, they are irrelevant.

  Move the folder C:\Program (x 86) only is not simple and not supported as defined in the registry. If you want to reduce the size of the folder, you will have to reinstall applications and where they plan a custom installation option use to set somewhere else.

• Validation ERROR: C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox\AccessibleMarshal.dll and do not install

  I downloaded and extracted the latest ESR (Version 10.0.7) file this morning. Run the SETUP program. EXE with no command line switch fails to install Firefox. SAT Setup log indicates that the installation took a second full run. In the Setup log, I see the following:

  Registration DLL

   ** ERROR Registering: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\AccessibleMarshal.dll **
  

  In the folder C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox, there's an uninstall as well as an install.log file folder. Any other file or folder there. Mozilla Firefox will appear in programs and features, but displays an icon associated with an unknown application.

  I am connected with an account with limited rights but the execution of the INSTALLATION. EXE executable from an elevated command prompt. That should be enough to raise the registration of the DLL.

  Running on Windows 7 SP1 with all updates applied. I noticed several other people who have experienced this problem, but nobody has a solution.

  Thanks in advance for any help!

  Do a clean reinstall and remove the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a new copy of Firefox.

  • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory

  Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

  • ESR 10.0.x Firefox: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all.html

  Uninstall your current version of Firefox, if possible, the settings in the software security and cleaning of the Windows registry.

  • Do NOT remove the data personal when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because all profile files will be deleted and you will also lose your personal data such as bookmarks and passwords from other versions of Firefox profiles.

  Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

  • It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox

  Your bookmarks and other profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but make sure that 'delete personal data' is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
