How can I delete windows.old folder without losing the hibernation file.
Mr President.
I recently refreshed my system and a unwanted windows .old file has been generated and it consumes 11 GB of my disk space. So Iwould like to delete this file but the HP support assistant gave me a warning that I should not remove hibernation and sleep file, otherwise I would lose this facility of my system. Thanks for mentioning the steps I have to do to remove the same.
Yours faithfully,
R_rk06
Hello
Folder Windows.Old has nothing to do with the Hibernate. If uou wishes, you can remove it using cleaning system, not normal to delete, to explore. The following steps see the way in which:
Open Disk Cleanup by clicking on the button start . In the search box, type and then disk cleanup in the list of results, click Disk Cleanup.
If you are prompted to choose a drive, click the drive that you have just installed Windows on and then click OK.
In the dialog box disk cleanup, on the Disk Cleanup tab, click on clean up system files.
If you are again prompted to choose a drive, click the drive that you have just installed Windows on and then click OK.
Select the check box Previous Windows installations and the other check boxes for files that you want to remove, and then click OK.
In the message that appears, click on delete files.

It has a folder named WINDOWS inside, and he doesn't let me delete it. I already tried cleaning disc, but no solution. So, how can I remove that file I didn't need on my Surface?
Hello
Disk Cleanup is the way to delete Windows.old. I don't understand why you have questions...
Try right click on your drive C:\ COMPUTER\THIS PC from the desktop, then select Properties.
Then click on disk cleanup... After you run it of scan, click FILE SYSTEM to the bottom of the window.
This will launch another analysis of the SYSTEM FILES... Windows.Old should be here...

How can I force a paragraph style without losing the italics?
This has been annoying me for ages. I work on documents in Word, using italics for book titles, etc. and then import them into indesign. I apply a paragraph style and three out of four times the bits in italics are preserved. However, the fourth time the paragraph style does not (probably due to the presence of italics) and I have to force him to do it using Alt-click. Invariably, the italics is replaced by Roman.
It happens earlier with a bunch of notes and endnotes in a book, I'm working on and means I have to go back through each of them, manually applying italics to my books and reference titles. Is it possible to force a paragraph of note/reference style without losing the text in italics?
Thanks for your suggestions,
Tom.
I'm not sure that long-term planning is needed here.
If your only concern loses italics when importing from Word, create,.
in InDesign, an italic character style. Then do a search and replace
in the document, InDesign (once you have placed the Word file)
looking for an italics, formatting and replacing with your italics
character style.
Who will save you from losing your italic formatting.
Repeat for bold, bold italic, exponent, index and nothing else
the author uses.
There are scripts that help in this process (I think one of them is
called "preptext", by Jongware).
If you want a complete solution that can be found all types of
override setting in shape and creates and applies the appropriate character
style, check out my script "create character the Styles of overrides him."
available on the script on freelancebookdesign.com tab.

I have a pdf very complicated with many links. I need to link individual file words that are in a series of folders. How can I connect to a folder instead of just a file?
If you set the link to the PDF files, then use the command "Go to a page view", then link to the specific location in the file that you want to run when the user clicks on the link. If you have a link to other file formats, then use the command "open a file". Remember that these links are relative (if the other file is on the same drive as the source file), so if you move the PDF file you need to move these files and folders with him or the links are broken.
