  Hello

  The Prefetch files should not be deleted. This will slow down the normal operations.

  When you use the computer, the prefetch files are created for the programs that you use normally the most. This allows these programs to load faster.

  If you delete the files prefetch, the system must then start over again and recreate the files that you are using the computer.

  The Prefetch files are located in the C:\Windows\Prefetch folder. They are data files and are not human readable.

• How to identify obsolete files in Windows XP?

  My directory of Windows (XP) rose to more than 10 GB, which for me is more than 30% of my C: drive.  I need to create because I only have 1 GB of free space on C:.  Despite the defrag NTFS seems to perform badly under 20% of free space.  (Yes, my documents and program files take up a lot of space, but not nearly as much as the Windows.)

  I suspect that most of the files in my Windows directory are really outdated, but I can find no documentation MS how to identify obsolete files of Windows.  Unfortunately, KB MS searches return only the details of the specific software issues and warnings no do not delete the contents of the directories like Installer & $hf_mig$ who collectively represent 40% of the space of files in the Windows folder.

  Can someone point me to MS doc on the identification of obsolete files in Windows?

  Can someone point me to a reliable freeware that can analyze my Windows folder & identify obsolete files?

  Thanks, J

  Thank you once again.

  I moved my Documents to my another internal drive, but it was UGLY.  Fortunately, I made a backup before you start.  The Windows Move function fails if a file is locked by a process.  Supposedly gives the user the possibility of closing the lock program, he abandoned the movement rather than a new attempt.  Thus, the move is only partially complete.  The restore function moves the files back, but not all the original files are retrieved.  (Move offers no option to copy all files successfully before deleting the originals).  With backup & some file/folder comparison software, I was able to recover all the lost files (probably).

  In any case, the above is not your fault.  I just thought you should know about the potential problems of moving.  I commented to MS on moving article.  I hope that similar questions are not present in Windows 7.

  I still have 26G standing on C, all Documents & settings Windows and Program Files.  But now I have 7 free G.  Move my Documents was a good idea, just as subjects with MS Move function.

  Thank you once again.  I will mark it as answered.  John

• Reinstalled Vista on my Gateway computer. There are 2 users, how to find the files saved by Windows before reinstalling?

  My C drive was blue screens so that I couldn't get into my computer and it became useless. I'm a total computer not so smart person, (politically correct too) :) In any case, after finding how to get in safe mode and fishing around a solution, I got the solution from scratch. It was April, which should give you an idea how well informed, I am when it comes to such things.

  So I took the option that would save all user files before reinstaling the operating system which is original bought the 2008 version. Vista 32-bit. Yes I know it's old but it works again. So since then I tried to get it updated and secure. Gateway won't help me at all, of course, out of warranty and all. So I downloaded the service Pack 1 and 2 for vista and all the security updates and Microsoft security essentials and IE9. So now I'm finally back to normal, which I think is a relative term.

  So now, I want to find all the files of the user who have been registered by windows before the reinstall took place. My folders and files from my sister. Treatment of text and pictures and stuff.

  Once I found how to make their return to where I am and where it is?

  You are welcome.

  Unfortunately, you have not yet told how you have saved the files.

  If you used the Auromatic backup gateway, they say that the files are in the C:\Backup folder on the hard drive.

  You will need to open that folder and either copy and paste or drag and drop them where you want them to be.

  It's a question you'd have to ask Gateway:

  http://support.gateway.com/support/ask_gateway.aspx

  .

  If you sustained yourself using Vista DVD files or an external hard drive, is how do to the files from the point upwards.

• How to import DVD files in Windows Movie Maker

  Import a DVD-video in WMM

  I try to import a dvd on wmm movie to make a video. I have to put the dvd on a file or somehow download it to my computer? How can I do this?

  I try to import a dvd on wmm movie to make a video. I have to put the dvd on a file or somehow download it to my computer? How can I do this?

  ==============================
  The following steps may be worth a try...

  I'm guessing that this isn't a step a commercial DVD
  with protection against copying? If_yes_read on...

  FWIW... break the copy protection on
  commercial DVDs is illegal.

  Insert the DVD into your DVD drive... If AutoPlay or
  Launch of Windows Media Player... just close them.

  Now... to... Start / computer... a click right on the
  icon for the DVD player is in and choose...
  Explore... This will display the directory of the DVD.

  Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open it... video
  files have a. Extension VOB.
  Copy them to a folder on your hard drive... it
  Maybe more than VOB files and those with the
  larger sizes of files are the ones you need.

  If you're running Vista Home Premium or Ultimate...
  You may be able to import the VOB files directly
  in Movie Maker.

  If not, try renaming the. VOB files. MPG or
  . AVI and try to import into Movie Maker. If this
  works... drag in the timeline, one at a time
  and publish (save) in the .wmv format.
  Then reimport the files for editing .wmv.

  If still no success... you will need to convert the. VOB
  format .wmv before import into movie files
  Machine to...

  The following freeware can convert:

  (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  Format Factory
  http://www.pcfreetime.com/
  (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
  ('all' boxes on the last screen)

  First... after the download and installation of Format
  Factory... you can open the program and
  left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
  "Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
  (this is where you find your files after they)
  are converted)

  Drag and drop your VOB files on the main screen...

  Select "all to WMV" / OK...

  Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

  Good luck...

  Try going to start / find and grabs the file browser and see if you get hits.

  In the case otherwise, you'll just have to hope make you this soul "error" again, but this time realize what you were doing, so you can access it again.
