How to recover lost or hidden programs and files
Somehow, I lost my XP programs including my excel and Word documents. If I've not deleted, I could find them?

Hi TL-777,
In addition to the post of Samhrutha, please see the following link on how to show hidden files:
Also, it is common that this issue be caused by a virus or malware. I suggest you a scan currently running on your computer to make sure that this is not the case. If necessary, you can also use the Microsoft Safety Scanner, it's free:

I just lost the previous months of the tabs in 3 groups of tabs by selecting "never remember history.» I was in horror when I opened the browser again and nothing was there. It all works.
Caught around and I created a new profile if new changes be change or overwrite old data so I might be able to recover. It's still in the default profile and I use FF in the newly created.
Please help me to recover the lost tabs and tag groups? Thank you very much. I'm on WinXP so there is no record of recovery, but I saw some things in App Data, tried to copy the entire folder to a profile in there, he had a lot of things but does not. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. But it is doubtful. I have always my favorites and Bookmark Bar. Maybe I copied it on, but the tabs are not coming.
Update, I unchecked 'use closed' option just now and he tried to restart but it became "no answer", but I leave the program tries to stop. But at least its data. Now to restore it without the browser crashing.

How to recover programs and files that have been written too by a full system restore?
Original title: data recovery
Is there a program that will allow me to recover programs and files that have been written too by a full system restore? I had to do a complete system restore, because the computer has been locked up in a start of the closed loop cycle.
Hi Apmech9,
1. don't you restore the computer to factory settings?
2. do you just restore the computer to an earlier time by using the system restore feature in Windows XP?If you restore the computer to its factory settings, you will then get in touch with the manufacturer of the system for more support options.
If you had just restored the computer to an earlier time using System Restore, you can undo the system restore to revert back the changes.
See the article "How to undo a restoration of the system after performing a system restore" in this article of theVisit our Microsoft answers feedback Forum and let us know what you think.

Hi guys, I just want to know if there's no possibilities
to migrate from installed programs and files in my Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate
--------------------------------
Also if I have Vista Home Premium should I switch to Windows 7 Home Premium too. I want to Windows 7 Ultimate!
Hello
You can upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium or ultimate; the choice is yours.

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/compare
If you go from Vista 32 bit Home Premiun 32-bit Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate, you can do an inplace upgrade.
The same goes for Vista 64 bit for Windows 7 64-bit
This will keep your programs and data intact.
But ALWAYS make a backup of data when you perform this type of work on your computer.
"How to do an Installation of upgrade Inplace of Vista to Windows 7"
http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/1818-upgrade-install-Windows-7-a.html
And before you buy Windows 7 read and check to see if your computer is able to use Windows 7 to its best advantage:
Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.
If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.
Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

See you soon.
p.s. If you want from 32-bit to 64-bit, or 64 bit to 32 bit, upgrade facilities are not available.
You will need to do a clean install.

Why all my programs and files open with Microsoft word?
All my programs and files open with Microsoft Word and I need to know how to change that?
I've seen that happen before when opening a program via a shortcut (for example. LNK file), you are asked what type of program to open it with. After Word selection using the Select a program from a list of programs installedand check always use the selected program to open this type of file, the Word document referenced by the shortcut of origin opens in Word, as it should.
The problem is that now all shortcuts (for example. LNK files) on the desktop or in the browser will want to be opened by Word. This is known as a file association. . The same condition can occur if you have performed these actions on one. JPG or even a. EXE, but the. LNK explanation is much more likely.
This has happened enough that a small utility was written to cancel the. LNK file association was created. There is a registry hack to do this, but I recommend the utility unLNK for its ease of use.
I used to send people on another site to download this utility, but this site has become confused with all the ads and fake download links. I put a copy on by SkyDrive own here.
Just download, then use the utility to unassociate the. LNK files for the user or globally delete the file type and let windows rebuild a new default.

Windows Server 2012 does not seem to recognize the space between the program and files
I installed 'R' in D:\Program Files.
Then I need to install another application that must refer to this path and validate during its installation. Installation of the next application saying that there is a "Invalid Version of R.If I install R in the following directories, it is recognized and my next application installed successfully:
C:\Program Files
Files S:\Program
D:\RWindows Server is not recognize the R application properly installed in "D:\Program Files." Windows runs into the space between "Program" and "Files" and put an end to the execution of this order.
The application I am trying to install the message 'Invalid Version of R' returns because he can't run the command check correctly. Because nothing is returned from the R.exe, he is unable to continue. This issue seems to be related to Windows and once R.exe can be run correctly D:\Program files, I would expect demand to continue to install. Is anyway getting D:\Program Files to be recognized as the other 3 directories I mentioned?
