How can I get rid of duplicates from folder?
I have a HP Win 7 system that I bought in November 2009. I moved all the backed up files, I created a Vista system and saved on an external hard drive and put them in the appropriate in Win 7 folders. Along the way, about a month or two ago, the 'My music' folder decided to duplicate himself in the folder "my pictures." Anything to be added or removed from rehearsals in the other folder as well. I want to delete the one in "My pictures", such that it caused all kinds of freeze ups when you do something in there, caused by the activation of Windows Media Player to go online and search for updates file. This makes any process to become unusable as all the system waits for WMP let go of his prey. It must be the folder the file images who created this music. If I download a clean folder, empty, newly created, the problem does occur.
Also, when I try to delete one or the other, or move them, it gives a message stating: "the action cannot be performed because the file or the file is open in another program. Close the folder or file and try again. »
Sometimes even if the Task Manager shows only one of them open at the time of the attempt to remove.

How can I get rid of Bluescreen and unexpected shutdown?
First of all, I want to know what the causes of showing 'Blue screen' and its appropriate solution.
Second, is - this hardware problem or a software problem?
Third, recently I have a problem that causes the unexpected stop showing a "blue screen" for my windows7 in Intel corei3 [email protected]. How can I get rid of it from Microsoft online?
Hi Sheikh,
Errors (sometimes called blue screen or black screen errors) Stop (BSOD) may occur if a problem causes Windows 7 to stop or restart unexpectedly. You might see a message that says: "Windows was arrested to avoid damaging your computer."
These errors can be caused by hardware and software issues, and it can be difficult to solve the problem.
1. what exactly are you referring to when you say "Microsoft online?
2. What is the exact error code of Blue Screen of Death? When exactly do you get the blue screen error?
3. have you installed new hardware on your computer recently? If so, then it would certainly be one of the factors behind the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). More often than otherwise, BSOD is related to the driver incompatible, withdrawal which solves the problem.
If the computer restarts automatically after that you get a blue screen error, in a first step, disable verification and automatic restart if it gives you an error message:
See the following article to do the same thing:
Startup options (including safe mode)
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode
We will follow these methods and check:
We will log on to the computer manufacturer website and update the latest drivers for chipset, BIOS (Basic Input\Output System). In addition, we will check for other updates for the device driver.

The new default browser is called ask.com and it showed up after I installed a program to download faster. I uninstalled the new program from my computer and add0ons, but it is still throw me back to new default browser even after I installed firefox four times. It's irriating and it just doesn't seem to go away. How can I get rid of him without losing bookmarks and information?
You can use the SearchReset extension to reset preferences to default values.
Note that the SearchReset extension runs only once and then uninstalls automatically, so it will not appear on the page "> Firefox Add-ons" (topic: addons).
You can do a search on the topic: config a page to ask.com

Everytime I open my MacBook Air with OSLion a sign comes up saying that Firefox is downloaded from the internet. How can I get rid of this sign.
Make sure that Firefox is installed correctly.
Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file and drag the Firefox program in the folder of the application on your hard drive.
You should not double-click the Firefox application to run from the disk image and drag it out of the DMG file instead. -
I have a lot of old e-mail files I try to delete, but they remain in the file from the Recycle Bin of 2009. How can I get rid of them?
If you have an IMAP account, go to Mail/preferences/accounts/box mailbox behaviors and make sure that the store deleted messages on the server is not checked. If this is the case, uncheck the box and see if you can remove the trash.
If that is not working, go to Mail/trash, select an e-mail message and then control - click/Delete. Does it work?

Try to activate the market account: settings > Mail, Contacts, calendars, and then tap the account on the right-hand side of the screen, on the Mail to 'off' popup slide, exit settings and return to the Mail application, then return to the settings and drag the mail back to 'on '.
