Elimination of the 1 of 2 users. At all programs, files, etc., transferred to another user.
Good evening
I have XP Professional.
How can I eliminate the 1 of 2 users and have all the programs, files, etc. for use by the user remaining.
In other words when I log on, there is only one user (myself) and all programs, files, etc. from the old user can be accessed by me
I hope that this request is understood.
Thanks for the quick response.
Programs are generally available in the world (to all users of the system) until they were initially installed for all users. Regarding data (documents, photos, music, etc.), simply copy the files from one user account to the other. Using Windows Explorer (my computer), go to C:\Windows\Documents and Settings\nom A\My Documents and copy what you want C:\Windows\Documents and Settings\nom B\My Documents. Etc.
If this isn't what you wanted to know, please clarify your situation.

All program files and shortcuts from the "Start" menu disappeared

Have you tried to do the restore of the system in SafeMode as stated in my answer 1 to you?
If it doesn't/does not work:
If you do not want to repost in the Windows Update Forum (they are the specialists it for the best advice regarding your problem), make this disc Bootable startup repair and use it to do a system restore or uninstall the updates by using the method 2nd in my 1st reply:
Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.
When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.
NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.
Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:
http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/
ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html
It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.
You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.
It is NOT a disc of resettlement.
And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

Original title: walk sorting
I am wanting to sort a walk down to the granular level and there are folders with files, etc.. I am wanting to sort by date created or modified. Is it possible to set the entire disk for all files without having to open each indvidual folder for a list, or is there a product on the market that can do this?
Sorting all of the drive is not possible. Perhaps, it can be done by another program I'm not aware of.

Every thing seems to have returned to normal, but when I restarted my computer all the icons on my desktop and all programs in the start menu disappeared, and yet, all programs are always in: Control Panel > add/REMOVE programs. I can still connect to the internet by going to-Start > my computer > view > go to the desktop. How to get back all the icons on my desktop. I tried a click right, but in vain. I also ran a scan complete antivirus. any help would be appreciated.
Thank you Joel S. Before I could put your advice into practice a friend recommended a friend who advised me to do a system restore, which he said he would be happy to do it for me. So look like an easy option, I agreed. It seems to have solved the problem (fingers crossed), but now it seems that I need to format the hard drive. If you have any tips on formatting hard drive I'm all ears. Thank you Owen

antivirus quarantined files in the directory of firefox as a malware program files
These 3 files have been quarantined as viruses or Trojans heuristics:
libegl.dll
nssdbm3.dll
webapprt - stub.exeAll 3 files are in the directory program files for firefox. Once these files have been quarantined, and tried to launch FF I got error:
Could not initialize the safety component of the application. The most likely cause is problems with files in the files of your application directory. Please check that this directory has no restriction of read/write and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you leave the app and solve this problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see the incorrect application behavior when you access security features.
Once I click OK it opens FF but it won't open the home page. I want to be sure that these are in fact FF program files and not a virus trying to wreak havoc on my laptop. Thank you.
Unfortunately, I can not add troubleshooting information as I'm in THE writing of this since I can't open FF.
Hello szzqz, yes judging by the names of single file, these are the files that come with firefox and which are necessary for normal operations - so it is very likely that it is a false positive of your antivirus software. just to be sure, please download the full version of firefox for your new system from the official source to https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ and install it on top of your current installation, which will replace the missing files.

Hello. I have mod Grand Theft Auto IV for pc. Long story short, I have the re - install. There is this called LCPDFR mod that allows you to become a police officer in the game. I need to download this. In order to successfully download this (when I try to download / save, he said "the Publisher of this program could not be verified". it gives me no option to run or something and that's it, apparently because of the problem I put in the title and Description), the root folder "Grand Theft Auto IV" (which is in my "Program Files (x 86)" folder) is not to be 'Read Only' (the 'Read only' checkbox must be deselected in 'Properties'). Do not forget that, under the tab 'security' in 'Properties', for the folder root of "Grand Theft Auto IV", I have administrators / me 'total control '. So, as I said, I uncheck the 'Read only', click on 'Apply', then 'Ok '. I go back in 'Properties' and 'Read Only' is checked as if I had never disabled it in the first place (when I already just did).
So, in summary, the problem I have is that every time I uncheck "Read only", click on apply, then click ok, and go to properties again, it is always checked when I was already unchecked, applied and then approved it. This continues to be over and over and over again. Please help me?
PS - I have windows 8.
I thank you very much for your time and have a nice day!
Hello. For some reason I'm not able properly to uncheck the 'Read only' attribute of a folder in my "Program Files (x 86)". Whenever I click to uncheck the 'Read only' in 'Properties' (tried several times) and click 'Apply', then 'Ok' and I go back to check it out, it is checked as if I've never disabled it. I have Windows 8. He continues to do this and I don't know why. Help, please?
====================================================
Read-only status is normal for files because Windows ignores the
attribute. Whatever the question is that you are trying to correct may not
be associated with the State of the file read-only.If you change the attribute read-only folder... What follows
the article covers Windows Server 2003, XP, Vista and 7... Perhaps it would be
work for Windows 8.(326549) you cannot view or change the Read-only or the system
attributes of folders in Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, in Windows
Vista or Windows 7
