How to remove a folder from program files in the C drive?

I tried to remove CA my computer for several days. I just discovered how to manually remove programs. However, will not remove the file CA in my program files. I give permission, and then he said please try again. I don't use this program because of the large amount of questions and he won't let me download an anti-virus up-to-date program. Help, please.

You must uninstall the programs start / Control Panel / programs and features - and then select the program you want to remove, right-click on it and click on uninstall or delete - otherwise the pieces of the program stay in various places throughout the operating system and in the register - it cause you problems later and taking space without good reason.

If you really want to remove this folder to appropriate it.

To resolve this problem with the record of CA, appropriating the folder (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for the folders and files that can change permissions.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can now delete the files and folders.  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html... If ownership doesn't work, someone has placed a deny access to all user somewhere safe - you have to find that entry and delete it and then you will be able to delete the files and folders.

Good luck and I hope this helps!

  • How to remove an application from a device with the Profile Manager?

    I use iOS devices 9.1 in collaboration with Apple Configurator 2.1 and 5.0.15 Profile Manager. Configurator locks iPads and the Profile Manager is used for the distribution of applications. We are assigning apps in device that is a great feature. However, when I delete an application from a device with the Profile Manager, the application does not remove himself. The Profile Manager back the license and I can redistribute app for iPad one another even if the application is still installed and usable on the iPad first.

    Is this a bug? It seems that it should remove the app. If I delete the management profile in distance from the unit, it removes apps.

    Click on the gear box and then delete Apps and select the application you want to remove.

    Initially, I did what you did probably has been to select the name of the application, then press the 'less', who pulled out of the app in the list, but it has not removed the iPad, he just removed their license.  Through the gearbox and to remove it it removes of the iPad.

    You may have already thought of it, but I found this post unanswered after two months, and once I found the answer, I thought I'd put it here.

  • How to remove a local printer port, or change the printer driver associated with the port

    I added a printer local port \\MACHINENAME\PRINTERNAME to respond to a printer that is connected to an XP machine on my home network.  There is no driver for my printer (HP OfficeJet v.40 or V-series), so I tried to install it with the Officejet D series.  Well, the test page did not work.  I deleted the printer via the Control Panel, but apparently the local port does not remove. I can't add the printer again, I can't delete it, and I can't change the driver.  So I'm stuck.

  • I want to move the folder Program Files to another hard drive.

    I have Windows 7 installed on a small primary partition on one of the two hard drives, double boot with Windows XP.  My installation of Windows XP is on a smaller primary partition (like Windows 7) and Program Files folder on a separate drive logic in an extended partition, not on the system drive.  I want to make a folder Program Files of Windows 7 on the same logical drive, Program Files and move the Program Files from Windows 7 folder to that partition on the second hard drive.

    Just an update.  I finally managed to move 'Users' on a separate partition, so my installation of Windows 7 now has Windows on a partition, the files program on a logical drive in an extended partition, and users on a separate logic in this extended partition.

    On the Windows partition, there are junctions that point to the logical drive Program Files and the logical drive of users and editing the registry to set these default locations.  Windows updates proceed normally and successfully.  Program facilities smoothly and work as expected.  I'll post my procedures on my site, I hope that in the near future, after that I tested and confirmed their on my other Windows 7 machines.

    Be forewarned, however, that this separation will break the ability to repair/reinstall (upgrade on-site) Windows 7.  It will stop when he sees that Program Files not are not on the system partition.  However, in my particular case, I depend on third-party software disk for backup, Imaging for the loss of this functionality (repair/reinstall) has no real interest for me.  Restore a disk image is much faster.

    There are other methods posted on the net to separate these main divisions of Windows during the installation. My methods are intended to guide differently to an existing facility while retaining all the features.  And once again, as shown in this thread, Microsoft Support seems to discourage that kind of thing.

  • How to force remove a virus/malware process/file in the temp folder?

    I am sure that I met a virus/malware and she had tried several times to enter a first time (that I had said no to the permission of windows) in my hard drive and then hours later, something was repeatedly asking me to upload a file to my computer I say also to cancel. I never met this kind of behaviour before. I also tried to remove some very similar processes/files in the temp folder immediately when he arrived, but these same files name would not remove. They were not the debug log files. And I've never seen these files before. How can I force malicious deleting something like this will not remove like regular temporary files that are.

    Is it possible to do Builder extension?

    Thank you and best regards,

    Anoop NR

    Thanks guys,.

    I have it! Extensions of the hybrid.

    I use Adobe Extension builder 3 in Eclipse to code and create the zxp for Premiere pro panel.

    See the hybrid extension HTML panels advice part: #10 packages / installers ZXP | Photoshop, etc I added a hybrid extension using the manifest editor Panel within the extension Builder. It creates an automatically mxi file with all the properties, I have to change the maximum version number of host in the mxi file to make the extension in the first pro CC 2014. Using the hybrid option in the Bundle manifest editor you can choose a set of folder paths to put the files during the installation itself and can be used later using "csInterface.getSystemPath (SystemPath.CODE)" of javascript functions to edit.

    Thanks for your relpies,

  • How to remove an item from my desk top which I no longer use

    How to remove an item from my counter top who no longer need. I have windows vista home premium and internet exployer 9

    Hi elsie,

    Right-click on the shortcut, the program, or folder, then click on remove.  That's all.  If this does not work, try to use one of the following free products to remove the file/folder/shortcut: 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.

    If it still does not work, try a clean boot (Vista and W7) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135. If you delete the file, then the problem was that there was a conflict or it cannot be deleted because it is run.  Once don't forget to reset your system back to the normal state, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work. If you are using XP, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353 and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316434.

    If this does not work, then start safe mode and try to delete the component of office from there (assuming it to be displayed).  If this does not work, you will need to log in as an administrator and try to delete the item in Windows Explorer in the C:\Users\\Desktop folder for this user and perhaps also any user originally installed the software (perhaps the administrator account).  It may be necessary to do both clean or Safe Mode boot mode (and using the extraordinary remove programs mentioned above as well).

    I believe one of the above will work (and hope the answer is one of the simplest at the top rather than the more complicated to those who follow).

    If you want to remove the underlying program that applies an executable or shortcut icon, go to Control Panel / programs and features.  Find the program is no longer you want, right-click on it and select delete or uninstall or delete (all that appears) and that should also remove the program and probably/possibly the icon at the same time.  Be careful here if - because if you upgrade the program, remove the program related to the icon or folder, if he got somehow placed on the desktop instead of Program Files (unless completely separate program updated as shown in programs and features - so you see both an old and a new version) could cause problems with the new program.  In essence, don't forget when you delete what you really want to delete and it removes this and nothing else.  I recommend the creation of a system restore point before you do.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • How to remove a Word from the default dictionary of firefox?

    How to remove a Word from the default dictionary of firefox?
    If I wanted to remove the word 'dog' or 'and' for example

    There may be a range of reasons for wanting to do this, including the deletion of the words you use rarely as similar to other common spellings used words for example. "minute" and "Minuet", delete the words that you find personally offensive, or removing words that, because of linguistic or cultural background, you would not consider words at all.

    Note that I'm not asking how to remove my 'dictionary' words, words that I added myself.

    Hello

    I talked to a few people and I think I'm able to help you with this.

    There are two dictionary files, the default that comes with your version of Firefox and personal 'custom' that you create yourself with phrases and words.

    If you want to change the personal;

    1. Copy Subject: support and paste into the address bar.
    2. Next to the profile folder, click the marked File Show
    3. Find the file persdict.dat. Rename a text file, open, modify, re save it as persdict.dat and replace.

    If you want to change the default dictionary, it could be more of a problem and a lot more technique to do. I would recommend that you look at the problem differently and consider filtering of pages based on inappropriate content using Add-ons such as ProCon Latte Content Filter.

    I hope this helps, but if not, please come back here and we can look at another solution for you.
