Game type "not specified" remove the Windows 7 Explorer game.

I've seen several forums around this subject, but none of them does not solve my problem.  I have a file in my Games Explorer classified as a type of file "not specified."  I went through several records, including "C:/users / AppData/local/Microsoft/Windows/Game Explorer' and 'C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\GameExplorer' that do not contain the file I want to delete.  Nothing comes up when I right click on icon, either.

I found a forum with a link which has been said to have the solution, but the page just says "Service unavailable" page was:

http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/42496-Games-Explorer-folder-delete-game.html

If anyone happens to recognize this URL, it would be great if you could tell me what he said, except that I'm open to suggestions on other ways to get rid of this icon.

System Restore solved the problem, I just had to try several times until I got just restore point where the icon has disappeared, but it didn't remove all the others either.  Now the icons under the tabs of Internet Explore are all screwed up (icons wrong showing upwards to the wrong sites), but I suspect that will disappear in time, otherwise I can reinstall IE.

For those of you who read this message and to use steam, never, NEVER put a shortcut to one of the steam games in the Games Explorer. It won't work, it will take place.

  • How can I remove the Windows, "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer" program from my computer

    I use another software Photo and picture Windows and Fax Viewer interferes with my work with the other program. Therefore, I would like to remove the Windows, "Windows picture and Fax Viewer" program from my computer.

    Info for WIndows XP - Windows Picture and Fax Viewer
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    OK... but be careful... you'll lose thumbnails of photos in Windows Explorer...
    your 'My pictures' folder... for example... does not display photos.

    And... FWIW... WP & F Viewer is not a program... it's just a .dll file. Disabling
    the .dll file is basically identical to uninstall. (in this way... If you do not
    as the result... you can reactivate).

    But if "gone forever", that's what you prefer... just delete the shimgvw.dll file.

    Attention last... your thumbnails in the Explorer will be gone.

    How... Disable WP & F Viewer

    Click Start / run and enter the following command:

    Type or copy/paste...
    regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll
    (Yes, the space after the 2 and you is necessary)

    Press on... Come in...

    (You should see a dialog box indicating:)
    DllUnregisterServer in successful shimgvw.dll)

    How... Reactivate the WP & F Viewer

    Click Start / run and enter the following command:

    Type or copy/paste...
    regsvr32 /i shimgvw.dll
    (Yes, the space after the 2 and space after that the i is necessary)

    Press on... Come in...

    You should see a dialog box stating:
    DllRegisterServer and DllInstall in successful shimgvw.dll

    To remove shimgvw.dll go to the following folder and do a right click Delete shimgvw.dll.

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\shimgvw.dll

  • Hello... can I remove the windows.old folder?

    some of the software I used was installed there. but since unneed software is much more software I've used, I want to
    to remove this file... it is therefore normal to remove this folder? If so, how?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community Forums.

    No need to worry, we're here to help you and guide you in the right direction.

    The windows.old folder is the old system files. Be sure to copy all the files that you can out of the Windows.old folder before you delete it. Once deleted, they are gone. You must be logged in as an administrator to be able to do the steps.

    The Windows.old folder contains the following folders:

    • Windows
    • "Documents and Settings".
    • "Program Files."

    The Windows folder stores mainly programs and files that are required to run the previous version of Windows.

    The "Documents and Settings" folder stores mainly the 'My Documents' folder and the Favorites folder. In addition, the "Documents and Settings" folder stores the office files that have been used by the previous version of Windows.

    The "Program Files" folder stores mainly programs have been installed on the earlier version of Windows.

    There are two ways to delete the windows.old folder. Here is the simple step.

    Method 1: Delete the C drive.

    (a) open Windows Explorer, click computer.

    (b) select C drive and you will find the Windows.old folder.

    (c) make a right click on the folder and click Remove.

     

    Method 2: Remove the "Windows.old" folder using disk cleanup

    (a) open Disk Cleanup by clicking on the button Windows + C to open the bar of charms. Click on the charm of the Search .

    (b) type cleanmgr in Search Applications box in the right pane, and then click cleanmgr.exe (disk cleanup) in the left pane to open it.

    (c) If you are prompted to choose a drive, click the drive that you have just installed Windows on and then click OK.

    (d) in the Disk Cleanup dialog box, on the Disk Cleanup tab, click clean up system files.

    (e) If you are again prompted to choose a drive, click the drive that you have just installed Windows on and then click OK.

    (f) select the Previous Windows installations check box and the other check boxes for files that you want to remove, and then click OK.

    (g) in the message that appears, click delete files.

    Let us know the status of the issue. If you need help, I'll be more than happy to help you.

    1. computer does not start after the Windows XP logo window
    2 works well in safe mode, even connect to the external monitor
    3. I reinstalled xp many times, problem stil exist.

    All the answers?

    Hi dhanushm,

    1. What happens after the Windows logo screen?
    2. You receive an error message?
    3. You have security software installed on the computer?
    4. Have you performed an installation clean Windows XP and even after that this problem exists?

    Method 1

    As the computer starts up fine in safe mode there is a possibility that some third-party programs installed on the computer is the origin of the problem.

    I suggest that you configure the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

  • Windows connection problems and "Windows could not log in the Windows Event Service.

    September 14, 2014, I installed the hotfix for Windows (KB2590550).

    When I try to log on to a standard user account (not Admin), I would get an error that might say something like "Windows could not connect to the Windows Service Service event".  I click OK and then get a totally blank screen showing on the arrow of the mouse (which can be moved).

    Around this same time, when I was able to connect, I got a "not genuine Windows" pop up.  My windows 7 came factory-installed by Dell (Dec. 2011) and I got no re-imaging, re - install or repair since I got the computer.  I've also been running Symantec Endpoint Protection (version DoD) for 2011 as well.

    When I login as administrator (different account), I get an error "Failed to connect to the Windows Event Service" or something like it in a control bar bubble popup.

    I studied the Knowledge Base, and he said to apply the patch to KB2590550.

    Since then, the question is still common and works (sometimes) when I reset the password for the standard user.  In addition, all updates of the operating system, patches, etc. have failed since then.

    Now, I get occasional blue screens immediately as windows starts to load (just after the initial windows graphics) which triggers a reboot.

    Service Pack 1 is installed.

    Help, please!

    Hello

    Thank you for the update on the issue.

    If the problem still persists I suggest to run the SFC scan to check the integrity of the system and see what it finds.

     

    The sfc/scannow (System File Checker) command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

    We can check & repair missing and corrupt files by the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.

    1. Go to Start, click all programs and open the Accessories.
    2. Right-click on command prompt in the list programs, and then select run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click OK.
    3. In the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

  • Why Windows 8 allow me to remove the Windows.old folder?

    I upgraded my computer to Windows 7 to Windows 8, a few months ago, when Windows 8 came. It is my understanding that when you perform an upgrade of Windows from one version to the other, it can save a lot of files and folders under the folder Windows.old. And I understand that you can delete the Windows.old folder.

    In other words, I don't think.

    The reason why I do not think it is because whenever I tried to delete Windows.old, it stops for me with this error:

    And when I said to 'Try Again' he begins from the beginning? HE DOES ALL THIS TIME! This should not do this, as I did do procedure on other machines that I've updated and he's NEVER done that, but not on this machine? Why in hell does?

    The virus called his free adobearm.exe icon because it is a yellow / orange with a letter H, at the Center
