• Files lost after setting the new account on windows 8

  Original title: files lost

  Hello

  I recently bought an old computer from a friend and the first months I just signed in as his name.  I saved some video files and photos for windows 8 connected under his name.  After a few months, I got tired of seeing his name at startup then I set up my own account.  When I did the whole upward, it says no files would be lost.

  Now, Miss me all the files I had saved.  The only name that exists now on this computer, it is my own... my friends name disappeared.

  I lost these files forever?  Is it possible to recover?

  Thank you very much

  Thank you.  I should have checked the trash.  I restored files.

• How can I identify the name of the invisible file for a backup file successfully to an external hard drive USB2 separate? I use Windows Vista backup program (Service Pack 2),

  How can I identify the name of the invisible file for a backup file successfully to an external hard drive USB2 separate?  I use Windows Vista backup program (Service Pack 2), and I need to do backups plus two from other computers on the same external hard drive.  To do this, I think I would need to identify each backup file separate I know which file to specify if I need to do a restore.

  How can I accomplish this? The program does not seem to give me the ability to specify a file to which to write the backup during a given session files.  In addition, I do not understand why I can not see the file name in Windows Explorer - my files options are defined to be able to view hidden and system.  Would be grateful for any help you can provide, tonight if possible.   Best regards, Oliver for Norm

• start to > all the programs menu is missing from installed programs. admin user account disappeared.

  From the start > all the Programs window miss me all the Microsoft Office programs that are installed on my computer.  Some other installed programs are missing in this menu.  In which case I have shortcuts on my desktop, programs are always accessible and functional.  Also my administrator account is missing, although my account has administrator privileges.  When this happened there was a wink to my office and some icons have disappeared while that others moved around.  I have loaded the disc of MS Office and ran repair without result.

  Hello swuser, welcome.

  What it sounds like, is that Windows creates a new user with admin access account and then migrate parts of your data on. This is probably due to corruption on the part of your "old" user account

  My suggestion, rather that to re - install all your programs, would be to simply make a copy of your desktop shortcuts and drag them into the START > all programs >... destinations.

  If you need find the shortcuts for some programs, we can tell you where programs actually exist in Windows. Let us know exactly what it is you are missing and we can see if we can help you.

  Regarding Microsoft Office, you can find the actual programs by visiting here:

  1. click on START
  2. click on 'my computer '.
  3. double-click on "disk Local (c)"
  4. double click on "Program Files".
  5 double click on "Microsoft Office".
  6 double-click on "Office12".
  7. find "WinWord12.exe", right click and go to send to > desktop (create shortcut)
  8. find "Excel.exe", right click and go to send to > desktop (create shortcut)
  9 find "PowerPnt.exe", right click and go to send to > desktop (create shortcut)
  10. find "Outlook.exe", right click and go to send to > desktop (create shortcut)
  11 go ahead and find the rest of the Office applications in this folder. Follow the same instructions as above. Most of the Office applications have some identifiable names (such as Microsoft Access = Access.exe)

  Hello

  More information on the "Repair" process is necessary.

  What exactly did you do and how long did take?

  It sounds as if you have reinstalled the operating system if you reactivate your Vista Business Edition and all your files have disappeard.

  Read this information if the operating system has been reinstalled.

  When you reinstall the operating system you wipe the hard drive.

  If Vista has been reinstalled:

  Look for a folder windows.old

  Note: Please note that reset settings Internet Explorer (IE) will reset all of the settings defined by the user, including those established by the installed extensions, toolbars and other add-ons for IE by default. This includes all the security, privacy and settings area. Also this will erase browsing history, delete all temporary Internet, cookies, form data files and especially all the passwords.

  Method 3:

  I suggest to create a new user account and check if the problem persists.

  Create a user profile.

  If the new user profile resolves the problem, you can screw the corrupted profile and re - install the applications and programs.

• Deletion of user account for disk space

  Dear Sir or Madam:

  Deleting a user will represent to free up more disk space on Windows XP?

  This situation applies to Windows 7 and Windows 8?

  Please reply back soon.

  Thank you.

  A "user account" in itself takes up very little space.  But once the user first logs on, Windows creates a 'profile' so that the user who can occupy a lot of space.  The profile includes all files used on the user's desktop and files under "My Documents" folder of the user (among others) which may be quite large, but includes everything what preferences and user files.

  In Windows XP, you can see the amount of space used by each user profile to:

  Right click on "My Computer"-> properties-> (Advanced tab)-> settings (in the user profile Section)

  If you have permission, you can select a profile and click on the 'Delete' button to free up disk space.  He recreated the next time the user logs on but delete everything that the user files.

  In Windows 7, the same screen can be obtained from:

  Right click on "Computer"-> properties-> Advanced System Settings-> (Advanced tab)-> the settings in the user profile Section.

• Delete a user account that I made during file transfer.

  Original title: account issue.

  I recently bought a new computer to work. In the implementation, I made a user account. There were problems transferring all my files and I ended up buying a software for the transfer of the old computer. He set up a second user account. So now on my computer, I have two user accounts that are in me and I want to just do the two accounts into one and not lose the stuff on each account. Any suggestions?

  You can transfer data files

  The easiest way would have been a copy of the files of data on a usb key, then the stick for the libraries of win7 (Docs, photos, music, etc.)

  If you connect to the user account that you do not want to keep, and then access the libraries are all your data files?

• I want to give my old computer to my family, how can I delete my user account and files?

  I have windows XP & buy a new laptop with windows 7. How can I remove myself from the old laptop so that they don't get my email & files?  I give my computer to the family member.

  You could do a clean install, so there's nothing left from when you use, or you can create another user (admin) then go on this user and delete your user, so that all your files would be gone.

  Hello
  
  What is the edition of Windows Vista installed on the computer?
  Make sure that you upgrade to the correct version, some versions of Windows cannot be upgraded with the installation disc you are trying to use. For example, you cannot upgrade a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version, or upgrade a higher edition of Windows like Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, to a lower edition, such as Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. If this is the case, you will need to use the custom during installation option.
  Before you attempt to upgrade, please run the Windows 7 upgrade Advisor:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor
  Also, check if your computer is compatible for Windows 7, using the Compatibility Center:
