• Symbols of office ini "cog" appeared on admin office... How do I know that they are part of?

  Hello

  

  These symbols have appeared on the desktop of my admin account. I don't like unexplained things that appear in my admin account, so, how do I know what they are associated with? They appear as a result of software that I installed in my admin account, and it is rare to access this account, so I don't know when they "conclude" and have been unable to find their source. It is the first time symbols as it appeared on my desk.

  Thank you, Jay

  Hi Jay

  These files Desktop.ini sometimes appears on the desktop for no apparent reason, if you have the show hidden files enabled in folder options.

  In other cases, they generally only appear when you perform a large customization on a folder.

  If you have not made any radical customizations on the folder on the desktop, you can delete these files safely.

  How to customize with the Desktop.ini files:

  If SFC could not fix something, then run the new command to see if it can be able to next time. Sometimes, it can take by running the sfc/scannow command 3 times restart the PC after each time completely fix everything what he is capable of.

  If this isn't the case, then run Dism/online/Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth to repair any corruption component store, restart the PC later and try the sfc/scannow command.

  If still no, then try using ONE OPTION above to run the command sfc/scannow at the start

  If still no, then you could do a Refresh of Windows 8, or run a System Restore using a restore point dated before the wrong file occurred to fix. You may need to repeat doing a restore of the system until you find a restore point that is older that may work.

  If not yet, then you can use the steps in the TIP box in the section THREE OPTION to manually replace the files SFC could not fix.

  Refresh your PC goes like this:

  • The PC starts in Windows RE (Recovery Eenvironment).
  • Windows RE scans the hard drive for your data, settings, and applications and puts them aside (on the same drive).
  • Windows RE installs a new copy of Windows.
  • Windows RE restores the data, settings, and applications, which it set aside in the newly installed copy of Windows.
  • The PC reboots into the newly installed copy of Windows.

  "When you reboot your PC, the drive will be completely reset and all your applications and your files will be removed it." Windows 8 will be reinstalled, and you need to change any settings, and then reinstall all the apps you want to come back after the reset. If you know if all the files you don't want to lose, then you must back up these files before you start resetting.

• When I turn my library of music in format mp3. I have duplicates.how can I know which songs are mp3

  I have a mp3 player.i sansa player - tunes doesn't recognize Sansa, so I need to transfer my music in windows media player. to do this I need to convert all my music in mp3 format.when I do that, then I can burn all my music and import to wmp.question is that when I convert to format mp3, how will I know which songs are mp3?

  You can create a smart playlist which, for example, collecting files converted based on the date that they are added to the library. It depends on how you want to proceed. If you want to permanently convert, I have a script called ConvertFormat which range the originals after conversion. Alternatively, you can temporarily change your media to the converted files folder are stored in a folder of new media, then once the process is complete you may add these files to your WMP library, reset the media in iTunes folder and delete the new additions to iTunes library, thus separating the two libraries.
