How to remove a file/folder with force?
Friends, including at - it a command to remove with force a file or a folder in Windows, as what we have in Unix, i.e. "rm - rf"?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards, Kumar
You can start the command prompt and do a Delete "folder name". If the folder is marked read only, system, or hidden, you may need to use the ATTRIB command to remove these attributes. Question the Attrib /? command for syntax.
To access the command prompt, press F8 all the seconds until you get the menu and select Mode safe mode with command prompt.
Good luck.

Under Options in Firefox, I clicked on save the files under downloads, but the file name twice and an additional file with the same name is created in the folder, i.e.:
G:\Akbar's Songs\HAMARA DOWNLOADS\HAMARA FORUMS DOWNLOADS FORUMS
As you can see the file repeats, how can I fix it?
Also the music files, I download from a site of downloads as a WinRar file and I need to open it. Y at - it an option where the file opens automatically in the folder I chose?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Hi Akush, when you install 7 - zip, make itself the default application to open .zip and .rar files. So if you double click on the .rar file, it should open in 7 - zip. If you prefer to decompress immediately, right click the file and look for new 7 - zip items in the menu. I can't think of a way to do this automatically, however.

How to remove a file or folder with error code 0 x 80070570?
The error code came on 4 files and folders, I'm trying to remove the computer they are is no longer appropriate or necessary.
Hi Reanol,
Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt, right click command prompt and click Run as administrator (you can just click on the command prompt if you are using XP).
While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run. They tried to set itself to run at the next reboot. Answer Yes and restart to run the program. It will scan and attempt to resolve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a potential cause. It is often the cause of this error message.
If this doesn't solve the problem, or you can not complete the chkdsk program, then we'll do a more complete test of your hard drive:
To test your hard drive, check the manufacturer and try to diagnosis HD (http://www.carrona.org/hddiag.html) or this test: Hard Drive Diagnostics tools and utilities (storage) - Corp of TACKtech (http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=287) or get a manufacturer test utility, if they offer a. Make at least one, but chkdsk ends, if all three to be safer.
If that checks, try to use one of the following free products to remove the file/folder. Unlocker to: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml or file Assassin http://www.malwarebytes.org/fileassassin.php these programs often work when the functions of removing normal do not work correctly.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

Automator - how I got a file zip "with replacement"?
Automator - how I got a file zip "with replacement"?
I have an action that selects a folder - then creates archive in a chosen folder
Currently - it uses the name of the source folder, and then brings new archives every time as:
My folder.zip
my zip 1 file
My 2 zip. folder
I wish there was only a single zip and the new version would ALWAYS OVERWRITE the old.
Q: How can I get what's going on?
or how to do that with applescript?
Hello
In an Automator workflow, you can use this script in "run AppleScript" action.
----
on track {, parameters} - script for Automator
-create an archive in the parent folder, it uses the name of the folder, it overwrites one archive existing and returns the path of the archive
return fileZipper (item 1 of the entry) - entry is a list and it contains the path of the folder
end of race
on fileZipper (thisItem)
tPath thisItem text value
If tPath ends by ":" and then
the value text delimiters oTid point
the value point text delimiters {"": "}
tPath the text value 1 through the text element - tPath 2
the point text delimiters oTid value
end if
zip (tPath & ".zip") the value as a text file
shell script "/ usr/bin/Ditto - c k - rsrc - keepParent" & (quoted in the form of tPath POSIX path) & "" & quoted form of POSIX zipFile path ".
return the zip as an alias file
end fileZipper
-----
This script create a new archive or overwrite an archive existing with the same name as the folder.
The destination is the parent of the selected folder.
If you want to move this archive to a specific folder, add "move Finder items" action after the action "Run the AppleScript.

How to remove programe files that remain in the registry after I uninstalled these programs?
How to remove programe files that remain in the registry after I uninstalled these programs?
I uninstalled Nero 8 on my system (Windows Vista Edition home premium, 64-bit dell 1737 studio system); but several Nero files are always stuck in my registry. How can I remove them without destabilizing the system? Thank you.Yes, Nero is a software that I hate. I liked Nero until 6 version, I think, but after the Version 8 and 9, it was pathetic.
2 years ago I had uninstalled a lot of software and there were many many registry entries obsolete - when a search I found that a member of a forum on the Web recommend CCleaner.
Used from 2 years - each time without making registry backups. He never did wrong with my two PC - Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7 SP1 (previously Windows 7 RTM).
The registry cleaner is fantastic.
In which case you can try it, here's the download link.
WARNING: Installation be sure to uncheck the installation of Google Chrome options.
CCleaner automatically prompts you to create backups of registry before she cleans up the registry. The choice is totally yours.

How to remove temporary files, waiting to be written to disk when the computer starts?
Hi Reasman,
Welcome to the Microsoft answers site!
To clear pending files, select the files/folders in the 'Files to add to the CD/DVD' box and press DELETE. However, if you want to delete all files, click the CD/DVD drive and select 'Clear the staging area' from the context menu.
You can manually delete the files that are stored in the following location:

* original title - could someone help... Please thank you all... *.
CCleaner is a very good tool for the removal of temporary files, simply use it to remove temporary files, do not use the cleaning of recording functions. Registry cleaning is mainly a wasted effort and it causes more harm than good. You can get CCleaner here: http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner
