  • Spam attack delete file named vcanh.dll in C:\Documents and Settings where to get the file to be replaced?

    I have several old Compaq Presario SR1563CL which has a completely updated Windows XP, Norton AV and other software a year.

    Today, a blitz of spam by pretending to be shipping notice hit my email AOL Time Warner Cable account.

    The only damage is that a file is missing.  None of the Windows XP recovery systems that go back and use the settings of the previous software can fix it.  A search of the computer in the C: and D: finds no copy of the file to be replaced.  The effect is that the computer freeze at startup until you notice of missing file OK.  Then it executes just like before.

    Is it possible to get a copy of the file and simply copy and paste in the right place?

    The missing file is named:

    C:\Documents and Compaq_Owner Data\vcanh.dll

    This is the vcanh.dll file which is not the case to be found or found.  I tried to put just a placeholder name, others no action files and the result is that Windows know it's the wrong file and still hangs.

    I don't think that vcanh.dll is a legitimate Windows file. May be a remnant of the attack to the added element of startup or something and the file has been cleaned or removed by Norton, but the start tag has not been eliminated.

    If you have tried restoring the system, without success, I'd be probably next try scanning with a couple of other cleaning tools.

    MalwareBytes Free Edition to find any bad guys always LURKING. I use it regularly to scan every machine in the House as a check of the backup.

    Free Ccleaner to analyze the registry and files for invalid entires to remove. I use this tool semi-regular even with no virus attack, keeps a tidy machine.

  • Remove temporary files from the local disk c/documents and settings/user/localsettings/temp name

    Remove temporary files from the local disk c/documents and settings/user/localsettings/temp name

    By definition, this folder should contain only the elements you don't need.  If I understand correctly, this temporary folder is a place where temporary files are stored during program facilities and the facilities.  However, I have seen references other sites to help saying some programs can store folders and files.

    I do my own temporary file elsewhere, name it accordingly and move all the files in the temp folder to the new folder. Use your computer normally for a while, and if nothing complains about missing files, you have a good indication that none of the moved files are important and should be safe to delete.

    In Windows Vista, the Documents and Settings folder is not a real file.  It's just a junction for compatibility, that is why its hidden.  Your files are now living in the users folder.

  • Change config son location "Document and Settings" another location

    I'm working ICT manager of ass in a welcoming and many users like to use Firefox. The problem is that we have a manager of quota installed on all systems with a maximum profile size limit to 30 MB. Society does not, in any circumstances, increase this size limit. This creates the problem that users who don't not Firefox installed bigger profiles and can not work more.

    The main issue in the present is: we can set up Firefox so that the user's settings (and other parts of Firefox) are not written in the "C:\Documents and Settings\ [user]", but the other (still available to the user) location?

    Another option would be like a portable version of Firefox (as Google Chrome Portable) but I do not think that Mozilla has done a portable version? (supported by Mozilla itself and only storage full al necessary files in a local folder, such as the user settings)

    Firefox uses two places in Documents and Settings on XP for the profile folder.

    In the Application data for the main profile and the other in local contexts for the cache and the database of phishing protection.

    This second location is also within this disk quota?

    You can only make Firefox use a profile to a different location if you run Firefox by specifying the location of the folder in the shortcut on the desktop Firefox profile, but which can cause problems if you click on a link in another program and Firefox is not running.

    Otherwise, you will need to prepare a profiles.ini file that points to a location (empty folder, this folder must exist) on the hard disk to use for the Firefox profile.

  • Need to access the 'Documents and Settings' folder in Windows 7

    I am importing an ArcMAP GIS project to my new Windows 7 computer (the project was launched on Windows XP).  Because the files in this project were initially located in the subdirectories of the "Documents and Settings" folder, map search these files in this folder.  So, I need to access this folder if I put the files in the location that arcmap is expected to make them, or that I inform manually map the new location, one at a time, hundreds and hundreds of files.  Is there a way I can access the "Documents and Settings" folder to add new subdirectories and files in it?  After some research, I found the folder, but I said that I don't have authority (even as an administrator) to access and modify the content of the folder.  Thank you

  • How can I copy restored c:\documents and settings\myusername\favorites\bookmarks at tab bookmarks Firefox bookmarks?

    My computer crashed and I had to restore it to its condition of purchase (2008). I had backed up all my data on Mozy. After the restoration of 12 GB of files, the 'Favorites' folder is in C:\Documents and Settings\myusername\favorites. The old shortcuts are in the folder, but I can't have them at my bookmarks Firefox tab. How can I do this?

    You can't do it this way. Those are the Favorites of IE and Firefox can't handle these files. You need to export your IE Favorites in bookmarks.htm format so that you then import this file into Firefox.

    In Internet Explorer:

    File > Import/Export - Export to HTML file

    then in Firefox:

    Bookmarks > show all bookmarks-> import and backup - import HTML... = HTML file
