How to remove a bad Windows 7 from the startup folder.
I have a new computer with a version of OEM Windows 7 installed. Recently, the computer restarted itself and now I am asked to select one of the two instances of Windows 7 to boot from. The first selection of Windows 7 is one that works while the second is bad.
How can I remove the second selection?
Thank you
John
Yes, it but is somewhat limited, I have use Ghost (you would need to buy - see below) or Acronis True Image. My preference is ghost but free trial Acronis will work and there is nothing to prevent you from using Windows 7 backup system and Acronis.

Setting the backup with Ghost or Acronis is the option (checkbox) to view and include hidden partitions. As the BCD store is a hidden "System" partition don't forget to include this as part of your backup (even though its corrupt)

How to remove all Xbox Music metadata from the clouds?
I experienced some problems with Xbox Music in all of my devices (Surface RT and Lumia 920), to do with duplication of the song, read errors, playlists appears not and so on.
'Luckily', my Surface RT walled up the other day, and my brand new replacement is underway, so I take the opportunity to reset my phone also, synchronize my collection of music from scratch (also goes to change my region Xbox to my current locale while I am).
Thus, with respect to any information library that currently exists in the cloud, how to remove, so I can start over?
Also, what sync options could recommend you on both devices, so I can have a smoother experience this time?
Thank you.

How to remove Adobe Acrobat XI completely from the computer
I had / have Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard installed on my computer. We wanted to see what additional services were available through XI. We downloaded the trial version and when we were convinced that us did not require in this edition, we have even removed via the control panel. Now, PDF Creator does not work anymore and the addon tab appears only in WORD. So, when we try to download/open PDF documents from the internet, we are unable to do so. How can I remove XI completely from my computer in order to allow PDF Maker to work again. The error I get is that the server is can not be loaded.

How to remove programs from the system tray without removing them from the startup?
How to remove programs from the system tray without removing them from the startup on Windows XP folder?
Hello
The first step is to identify the program that represents the icon and decide whether it should be in the system tray (most are not necessary). Hold the cursor of the mouse on the icon to see the name of the program that launches the icon.
The best bet is to click the icon to see if this opens the box of the program options. If so, look for a selection similar to "remove from the system tray.
Alternatively, you can hide the icons in the system tray.
Here's how:
1. right click on the taskbar and select "Properties".
2. in the "Notification area" click "Hide inactive icons" if she already unchecked and then click on the button "Customize".
3. click on the ' column next to each of your current behavior and choose one of the three behaviors for each program icon that appears in the system tray: "Hide when it is idle," "Always hide", or "always show".»
If you hide an icon, but then see it again the next time that you log on to Windows, you may need to uninstall the program to permanently remove the icon. Uninstall the program permanently removes the program from your computer. For more information, see Uninstall or change a program.

How to uninstall Windows 7 from the recovery disk?
By mistake, I installed Windows 7 on the recovery disk. I have only windows 7 installed on my Dell Inspiron. However, it is now a multi-boot, as Windows 7 is stored on the operating system and the recovery drive. How delete/uninstall Windows 7 from the recovery drive (more free space on it is exhausted). I already tried to 'Format' and 'Remove the Volume' in the disk management page, but the options are grayed out and I can't access it.
It's probably that you managed to install on the Dell recovery disk victory because it would be too small.
Open the recovery partition in Explorer to view the files.

I downloaded Windows XP from the Windows Service Center. It's a .exe. When I click on it, it is extracted to a folder I called "xp". How can I obtain these data on a disk to install XP from a CD? Should what steps I take? I am running Windows 7.
original title: Burning a disk XPPutting aside if the 64-bit version of XP is what you need, when you ran the exe, the file that was extracted (i.e., in the folder named "xp") should have been an ISO file.
Files ISO are CD images and are intended to be burned (NOT copied) to a writable CD.
Assuming that you have the correct hardware (CD burner), you can burn your ISO as described here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Burn-a-CD-or-DVD-from-an-ISO-file
Note that what you downloaded is NOT "Windows XP Mode" which is available for use with Windows 7 Professional, enterprise or ultimate edition. The image you uploaded is for installation on a separate computer (or in a dual-boot configuration) - assuming you have the required license keys.
