• How to customize the Windows Explorer command bar?

  Starting with Windows Vista, Microsoft has removed the ability to customize the toolbar at the top of each window in the Windows Explorer, known in Windows Vista, as the command bar.

  -Navigate to the top

• How can I get the amount of free disk space using the space using windows 7 Please share example using GetDiskSpace

  How can I get the amount of disk space by using windows 7 Please share example using GetDiskSpace I already studied http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/9958B8E473C4EF1786256BBC0053B64F

  Reading your question a little more in detail, I doubt if you are using the Win32 GetDiskFreeSpace API function (including my previous post is the solution) of the function GetDiskSpace from the Toolbox of the programmer.

  With respect to the other, it works even with capacity greater than 2 GB disks, but you must use the appropriate formatting code to display the returned value. I updated my example to display the total of free space in the debug output window and added a comparison with the value of 3 GB using UInt64TypeCompareUInt box to tools programming interface.

• Free disk space on the C partition

  Separated from this thread.

  I am also having the same problem.  I am running Vista Home Premium SP2.  I was getting close to complete on my drive C (13% free space). I was shocked to see how quickly it filled up, almost as if he did it by himself.  I was downloading a lot so I had no idea how it happened.  I ran each program cleaning and each antivirus that I had to try to make room.  I cleaned up program files deleted a bunch of audio and video files, and it does not seem to do much more of a difference.  I shut down the computer for the night and is returned to him the next morning.  I ran and bought a few flash drives to transfer files more and when I booted up I checked the hard drive and it was back to 48% free space (as it was before).  I have no idea what happened, but so far, it seems to be fixed...?   one of the cleansers I ran also ccleaner.

  There are two ways to compress files in windows. Zip files and built-in file compression. It's built-in file compression. For more information on compression type zip in Start - Help and Support .

  Photos, music and video are already compressed. They can get larger if Windows tries to compress it any further. Also usually a bad idea to compress system files.

  If you have files of worksheet they can very well be compressed. If you have files, installation files, they can also be good candidates. Web pages are also good candidates.

  In Windows Explorer, blue file names means Tablet (it is the file system compression not aka zip files compressed files). Green filename means Encrypted.

  To disable file names colored, in Explorer - Tools menu (Alt + T)- display tab and then clear the check box for Show encrypted or compressed NTFS in color .

  Windows compression, encryption and security to work for the most part by applying attributes to a folder and the files in the folder inherit the folder.

  If you have all the files appropriate for compression, find them in solution, made Explorer right click - Properties - general -Advanced button tab - Compress contents to save disk space. Choose to apply to all files and folders when asked.

  To use a command line to compress the files in the Favorites folder.

• Bootcamp lost after the new partition (try to increase disk space for the window)

  I have Version OS X El Capitan 10.11.2. Here are the details on my system.

  

  So I tried to increase the space in the partition for the training camp by using disk utility. I created the new partition. But now I can't bootcamp while I restart the computer and hold down the option key. I tried this in the terminal:

  sudo fdisk e/dev/disk0

  p

  setpid 4

  07

  Pavilion 4

  p

  writing or w (tried both)

  There

  But it does not seem to pick up my bootcamp windows. I also tried to restore the mac as early date of backup via external hard drive, but that doesn't seem to help either.

  Here is the screenshot of the output. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

  

  Can you post the output of the following Terminal commands?

  diskutil list

  Cs diskutil list

  sudo TPG - vv - r see the/dev/disk0

  sudo fdisk/dev/disk0

  The "sudo" commands will prompt to enter your password, and there do not appear to come back. You can also see caution against improper use 'sudo' and the potential loss of data due to an "abuse" of the order.

  Hi cbski,

  I am not sure why the bar is red, but you may find the answer if you go to disk management and examine the information here. Click on start - Control Panel - System Maintenance - under administrative tools, click on create and format hard disk Partitions.

• Is it possible to delete the shortcut to a user profile in the drop-down menu in the Windows Explorer address bar?

  We have a significant machines Windows 7 deployment, all managed by group policies.  All users have their Documents redirected to a file server as well as their other main libraries i.e. music, videos, photos, downloads, Favorites etc. - Despite this users continually save files in their roaming profile.  What I would do is, delete the shortcut to a profile of the users of the windows address bar to try and dissuade users from recording in their profile - please see the image below;

  

  I can't find the Group Policy settings to remove this link?

  Hi Ashley,

  Personally, I apologize for the delay. Because these machines are managed by group policies, my experience I cannot work on it. You can create a new post related to your question in TechNet for other members also suggest.

• Remove MSXML programs safely to free disk space.

  I have a Sony VIAO with windows XP. This is an old desktop computer and not my computer alone.  I try to free up disk space on my C drive and did the basics.  I'm looking to remove programs but I get a message that I don't have enough space to remove programs.  My question is under Add or remove programs, I show 6... Programs MSXML.  listed in this order... MSXML 4.0 (KB25672), MSXML 4.0 (KB927978, MSXML 4.0 (KB936181), MSXML 4.0 (KB954430), MSXML 4.0, (KB973688) MSXML 6.0 PARSER (KB933579).)  One of these can be removed?  Any suggestions on how to free up space in order to remove programs and not get the error message... "not enough disk space to remove programs.  I have an external drive that has LOTS of space.  Thanks for your time.

  I recommend that you do NOT remove any entry in Add / Remove programs that starts with k.  In fact, you should uncheck the "Show updates" box in Add or remove when you go there looking for things to uninstall to create more disk space.

  I have not watched all the items you list, but some (and I expect everything else) are critical security updates.

  There are a number of things you can do to - temporarily - free disk space.  The only real solution, however, is to get a bigger internal hard drive.   You can move the data to your external drive, but if it's the data that you use frequently, slower access times may annoy you.  Therefore, I do not recommend that you move your My Documents folder in its entirety on the external drive, but you can certainly do this by following the related instructions.

  • You can run Disk Cleanup (start > run > cleanmgr > OK)
  • You can reduce the size allocated for the restoration of the system to about 1 GB (right click on desktop > properties > system restore > settings)
  • You can disable hibernation (if you don't use it) (right click on an empty spot on the desktop > properties > screen saver > power > Hibernate)
  • You can disable the indexing of the drive, which will also speed up your computer a bit (http://lifehacker.com/031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp)
  • You can reduce the size of your Internet browser cache (depending on the browser that you use)

  But none of these answers you will earn really large amounts of space for very long.  The term solution time is a bigger hard drive.

  In the meantime, download and run JDiskReport, that will show you graphically what files take up more space and seem to so indicate what files you must move it to your external drive.  If you want to move an application, you will need to uninstall and then reinstall it specifying your external drive as the installation location.  You can not simply move the files.

• What does the red exclamation point and which would prompt me to now have more free disk space?

  It was getting my full disk space. Up to 1.2 GB to 73 GB. I removed some unnecessary files and programs up to 4.6 GB. Last night my internet was running very slow and I got a message that says that my disk space is full. I went to the Explorer, who intends to seek more to remove offline. To my surprise, it showed that I have 38 GB of free space. At the same time however, some (not all) of my desktop icons now have a red exclamation mark on them. There are some that are shortcuts, jpg files and doc files. That means the red exclamation that tempt me to now have more free disk space?

  I would just be guessing really. He could have files, online backup was queued up. It may be something to do with the shadow copy of Volume. If I use cleaning disc with the option all users and delete restore Points and shadow copies on the tab "More options", I'll be back about 15 GB on a disc of similar size. The effect is only temporary, until they accumulate again.

• Why Windows 7 displays an incorrect amount of free disk space / used on my DVD - RW drive?

  Why Windows 7 displays an incorrect amount of free disk space / used on my DVD - RW drive?

  Windows 7 can show the incorrect amount of free and used space in serious DVD - RW or DVD + RW media properties.  After burning data on the disk, Windows 7 could show that there are 0 bytes of used space and free space available on the disk capacity.  In reality, the amount of used and free space on the disk is reversed.

• HP Split x 2: not enough space for the Windows 10 update

  I have a Split of HP x 2 (64 GB SSD, drive hard 500 GB) running Windows 10.  I recently received notification of an update of Windows 10 version 1511, 10586.  Trying to install the update, I get an error message saying that Windows needs more space on C:, specifically 8.13 additional GB.

  Settings Windows reports 58.9 gb of 59.2 GB already used on C: which is 47.2 GB ' system and reserved.

  The update program says that I can use another drive for the update and I tried the built in D: (more than 200 GB free) and an external drive (900 GB free), but the update will fail with the same message outside a slight reduction in the amount required on C: (7.17 GB) of free space.

  I had already cleaned useless all the files using the Windows disk clean and have less than 6 GB in applications and data, in order to get rid of everything that would still runs.

  All GB 47.2 OS is really necessary?  Any large pieces I can get rid of, or is the only way an SSD upgrade?

  Only in the last day or two, MS has eliminated a new update of Win10 who, claim, addresses the problems of people said that they do not have enough disk space for the Nov 10 update and when they provide you with an external hard drive, it will not use it.

  I suggest that you are looking for updates and see if it is applied and then retry the update 10 Nov.

  Good luck

• T520: low disk space on the workstation

  Recently, we purchased a few customers light t520, and already there are problems with disk space. I removed a few programs and added a few, but I haven't done anything unusual to increase the use of the disk. Ordinary forms do not help, disk cleanup gives me just a couple MBs to release. We have an application that requires .net 4.6 but now I can not install it because of disk space is low.

  The disc has a capacity of 16 GB, but Windows itself takes up almost all of it, and most seem to be located in the WinSxs folder. HP should not be selling these discs 16 GB so its barely enough for the Windows installation.

  Please tell us how to free up space on the disk.

  I got help elsewhere and told to delete everything in the folder Windows/C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution/download released a few gigabytes, so I'm good for now. But still, it should come with at least 32 GB of storage.

• No sound after clicking OK for review to free disk space.

  Hi all.

  Hi my friends young son received a notice it is computer saying he was running out of disk space and the computer could take these steps to free up space.

  Well you know kids, he presses OK before asking one.

  Now, there is no sound on the computer. I went in audio devices, sound. But it happens that there is no audio device on the computer. Tried to load the drivers for the sound, but the Research Assistant could not find the audio device.

  The operating system is Windows XP. I could reload the sound from the installation disk supplied with the program. If yes how.

  Your help would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  ·         What is the brand and model of the computer?

  ·         You have the CD of motherboard drivers that came with the computer? (Not the install disc)

  If Windows can't find a driver for your sound card or sound processor, and the device didn't come with a driver, you can look for a driver on the manufacturer's website. Driver updates are often available in the section of the support of these Web sites.

  To locate the driver, find the manufacturer and model name or number of your sound card and then visit the Web site of hardware and software vendor contact information . When you find your manufacturer, go to his site and locate and download the latest driver for your sound card.

  Step 1:

  Follow the steps in troubleshooting section and check if that helps.
