  I you were using OE in XP, then use the search or characteristic excerpt from disc DBXpress (www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/).  See also www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4 also check to see if they have made a backup before "remake" your system.

  If you do not use OE, then see the answer of Bruce.

• How can I recover my old favorites list after restoring my computer?

  I have a netbook Dell Wireless.  I had a problem of malworm and had to restore my computer to an earlier date.  Everything worked, however, my list of favorites is no longer there (it was very long and very valuable for me).  How can I recover my favorites who have been there?  I was told that I do not lose anything when I had to restore.  Help!

  Sometimes, a new folder is created when the registry is restored and the new folder is empty.

  Therefore, perhaps original folder still on the drive in which case you can copy its contents and paste them into the new Favorites folder is empty...

  would it be possible that the old folder with your Favorites is next to the new empty folder.

  try to do a "search" for "Favorites".

• How can I recover my old email after you have reinstalled Windows 7?

  Under the direction of the MS Support, in order to solve a problem, I had to reinstall Windows 7. After installation, all my old email was absent. Support MS staff member told me that he was not trained to retrieve my email and sent me a link to try it on my own. I failed miserably. I managed to get a few email (Comcast) but only from the date of the re - install and none of my old stuff. In fact I managed to do it in triplicate. As you can see I'm not a computer person. Can someone help me? I need step by step instructions.

  Thank you

• How can I recover my old data settings document files firefox bookmarks and favorites of ie8.

  I need to reinstall windows xp sp2 I turned off my pc by updating the os now I ask a question after the reinstallation of the sp2 would be it possible to recover my old data settings firefox favorites bookmarks of ie8 and norton antivirus 360 documents.

  You might see if this folder is located on your computer.  Depending on how you installed Windows, it could be an old version of some files in pre-installation.

  C:\Windows.Old\

  But beyond that, there's no other place I could think that perhaps it would be after a reinstallation.

  Shameless plug for the new version:
  If you used Windows 8, all of your documents, files, Favorites, bookmarks are saved on your Microsoft Account so that you can use them even if you get a new computer (or reinstall an old one).

• How can I recover my old files?

  If my profile has a virus and I deleted it, but before I did I chose to save the files to a different profile. When I went to click on it, the folder was empty, but he says that the folder had files it contains. When I'm on the new profile and tried to copy that I couldn't. Does anyone know how I can get ALL my old files (photos, music, documents, Favorites, passwords, etc.)? Or at least some of them? Help, please!

  Hi samanthaswigert,

  
  Method 1: run the fixit available in the links below and check if that makes a difference-Worth to try
  Diagnose and repair Windows files and folders problems automatically

  Note: FixIt would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular area.

  Method 2: Start the computer in safe mode and then try to access the Folder. To do this, follow the steps below:

  Access Advanced Startup menu options by turning on your computer and pressing the button F8 continuously until Windows starts. In the advanced startup options select Safe Mode

  
  Startup options (including safe mode)

  Method 3: Run an online scan to remove any threat remains on the computer.

• How can I recover my old account?

  Ive tried to access an old account of mine Skype. I haven't used in years, but it is important for me to get on it because I need to communicate with a friend to an important problem and I don't have their email or Skype name. the thing is my old password does not work and the old email address for the account has been deleted long ago. How can I do to reset my password, I had never bought Skype credit with this account also. Is there a way I can reset the password?

  If you no longer have the email you used to create the account and that you never paid for any purchase with that account, you're out of luck.

  For security reasons, the only way to recover a lost password is to the email address registered with Skype from the individual, or purchase history details.

• How can I delete Windows.old?

  I recently clicked the Refresh button on laptop settings, but now I see a windows.old folder and I want to remove it. How can I remove it? 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 recover my old firefox after I replaced it, it told me a new will not work?

  I was on my AOL Homepage and was encouraged to be upgraded for increased security. Everything went well, but when I tried to open Firefox, I learned it wouldn't work. Usually, with this older system, I am notified when an upgrade will not work. I would have never taken the lead and replaced my old if I knew. Is it possible to recover my old Firefox?

  There are apps that I have on this old system that does not work on newer systems. (I have an Airbook updated but I like the big screen for some things). I found this on Google:
  https://support.Mozilla.org/questions/970943
  Mozilla
  September 11, 2013 - where can I find older versions of Firefox, which runs on OSX 10.5? ... because Firefox 16 is the latest version of Firefox that works with Mac...
  and downloaded Firefox 16 of their link. It seems to work. For security reasons, I use my Airbook for bill payment, etc.
  Thanks for your comments. Thank you very much for the quick responses.

• 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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Select the check box Previous Windows installations and the other check boxes for files that you want to remove, and then click OK.

  4. In the message that appears, click on delete files.

• How can I recover windows files on the start menu as "Accessories" after the fake recovery tool?

  My pc has been infected recently with the fake windows recovery tool. I don't know how to recover the files/folders in the start menu and the desktop that were there before.

  It seems to remove the shortcuts in the start program, so a show systemic does not help.  Or it does solve the problem of the "NoDesktop" under political Explorer setting, which prevents the user access to the desktop (see  ( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc938265.aspx).  I had to deal with a computer with these questions last week. I'm not sure it's the same virus (it was a fakesysdef one), but some things can not easily be corrected.  My experience was that I had to set up the shortcuts to start again, as they were not hidden, but they seem to just disappeared.
