How can I clean my old xp PC to delete all data, files, memory, etc.. I have nothing on that, as to give to a family member.

Clearly want to like a record hard as posible. Thank you

The safest way is to use your drive recovery or Windows XP disk at startup, delete the partitions and clean install.
You must install the drivers and run MSUpdate

  • How can I clean my catalog of unnecessary or deleted files?

    I have 14 of PSE, my catalogue contains lots of files moved or deleted, as well as certain types of files not supported or unnecessary. My question is, how do I clean this up in my catalog? I am planing to move my catalog a "personal cloud drive" or drive NAS on my home network so as to free up much needed space on my C drive.

    Simply connect the external drive to any computer in your home with the required version of the elements, and you're ready. »

    To do this, simply use the command move in PSE 14? Either move the catalog to my drive USB (and library), then remove safely from my C drive once I'm satisfied all works well.

    More details:

    Your project requires you to move the library and catalog safely, which suggests a backup full anyway.

    It is just the first step of the recommended way to move them to a new computer.

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/Photoshop-elements/KB/backup-restore-move-catalog-Photoshop.html

    You perform the full backup that stores all the necessary elements to restore on another computer, another drive or another master folder while keeping the links in the database catalog properly with the new destination. Let's say that you do this on an external disk or in a folder on your home network. The backup folder will be used to 'restore' on the "custom location" in the new destination folder/drive.

    The backup process restores your library (image folder tree) and your catalog to the new destination folder, the USB key suggested.

    When it is connected to one of your computers, you can open the organizer with the catalog by double clicking on the database, the file "catalog.pse14db" in the catalog folder.

    Ditto for the second computer. Remember that the Flash DRIVE has the same drive letter in both computers.

    If you have more than two computers (then you need more licenses...), this is the same process of restoring your backup catalog.

    What has been published on the last connected drive is ready and available in the next connected to the computer.

    Notes on the catalog files:

    -you will find their location in the menu help > system information

    -by default, they are in a folder 'hidden' in the Solution Explorer, you may need to set to show files and folders hidden in Windows.

    -Content (links) in the catalog is not changed if you move the entire folder elsewhere but if you move your image files outside of the Organizer, the links are not updated either...

    -Catalog Manager allows you to move a folder from catalog back to the default location, but if you want to move it to default to a custom location, get you Explorer.

    If you just want to move your library or part of it to a new drive, you can do so from the organizer of slip and fall in the folder tree in the left panel of records. Catalogs remains in default location.

  • How can I import my old passwords of key3.db key3 and files for the new firefox signons.sqlite 41.0?

    I recently updated my PC and my old hard drive in system is placed as a slave in my new PC. Seen key3 and signons.sqlite key3.db files of the old firefox, how to import passwords saved in the new firefox 41.0?

    Thank you.

    How old was the older Firefox? Firefox 33 and then use this pair of files:

    • logins. JSON -. saved passwords.
    • signons3.txt - this file stores your database key for your passwords.

    If you want to move the old in your current profile (to replace new empty files for the most part), this is the fastest way to open your folder of the currently active profile. Either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

    Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit

    Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename logins.json to something like logins.old and key3db to something like key3.old.

    Now copy the old two files in this folder.

    Launch Firefox back up again. These connections are available?

  • FireFox is no longer crash recovery of open tabs. Management of tab has changed. How can I get the old behavior?

    All my old tabs are missing after a crash. I chose "view my tabs, windows and last time ', like the start option. Many unwanted changes in tab management happened recently. For example when I close a tab in a window of the two tab, I see a blank screen (see picture). Preview display seems to be broken (see attachment). How can I get the old behaviour back?

    After researching the issue, it seems that the problem was a problem of NoScript configuration. After restoring NoScript to the default values, the tab number disappeared.

    Thanks for your help.

    had a problem with the opening of firefox and he suggested that I install a new version, I did and I have an "old data firefox" file. My question is how can I reinstall the old file and all the stuff that's about it.
