How to remove dekstop.ini permanently on Windows 8
Well, then it's my 5th day of the use of Windows 8 (laptop). And I found this weird thing on my Dekstop called 'desktop.ini'. There are many of them. First of all, I never created this thing. Second, I saw this thing before in Windows 98 but not this number. What is the problem with my PC (laptop).
Nobody knows what is "desktop.ini" is? Most of my friends told me it's a virus, and my roommate told me that it is a spyware...
Those who are usually hidden system files just harmless.

How to remove bloatware of envy dv6 Windows 8
Product name: Envy dv6
OS: 8 64-bit Windows
Error message: no
Changes: No, just open the laptop
Problem:
What I try to do is simple:
I recently bought a new laptop for my girlfriend, but was embarrassed to find that I could not remove all the bloatware that was installed with it (snapfish, games Wildtanget, HP +, HP Games, MUCH more).
I read a ton of forums, tutorials and tutorials on removing bloatware from what I thought was Windows 8, Windows 7, Vista, ect. I found no usable information.
I went to uninstall programs in Control Panel System. Frustrating although applications such as snapfish, HP + and HP Games, for example were not on the list of programs.
I've restored the machine twice now and have found no change in the programs. The list of programs is unchanged. The laptop came with disks of recovery, and from what I've read, that they would also have the bloatware on them.
How to remove these applications?
Most new laptops have an option called Image minimized in the Recovery Manager.This recovery HP only reinstalls Windows and important drivers/software. Have you seen such an option?
http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03489643
BTW, HP Recovery Manager also offers the possibility to burn recovery discs.

There was an old post and now it seems closed. I update my DV6500Z again to Windows 7. It worked fine for months and then I lost sound, so I decided to start over. Did a clean install with Windows 7, then service Pack1 followed by a lot of updates from Windows update. Also added a lot of software. Now, I sound and have not yet added the optional updates from Windows update to the sound card drivers. I haven't added the other drivers so what comes from Service Pack 1, Windows 7, and important updates.
Probably should have started the search in just after Service Pack 1, but no drivers have not because I had no problem. A few things are of yellow color in the Device Manager but it should for things like quick launch buttons, SD card reader. So now I'm looking in drivers and ran through http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-systems-and/How-to-remove-nVidia-graphic-drivers-fro...
I uninstalled NVIDIA drivers very well using Control Panel - program & features. Now, I found scan driver is no longer available. Device Manager indicates that I will use a standard vga adapter. Should I just go ahead and add the nvidia chip and then get the nvidia drivers or do I let more fragments, which will cause problems?
Thank you

How to remove the mail profile in windows 7
I am trying to remove a mail profile in my new system windows 7. I know how to do it on Vista (as below), but this does not work in windows 7 and can't find the info anywhere. Can anyone help please?
How to remove the profile under XP or Vista. (1) open the control panel. 2) click on user accounts, and then click surCourrier. (3) the email configuration dialog box opens and you can delete email profile as you wish.
Hi vanziggy,
In the Panel, it has a link to "Add or remove user accounts". This is not the place (in Windows 7).
In Control Panel, in category view - a small drop-down menu at the top right, there is a section "user accounts and Family Safety", which is a link.
In the dialog box accounts users and family security, there is a box option, where you can add or remove profiles (e-mail). -Bob

How to remove mediainfo (under file in Windows Explorer).
I rename files a lot and depend on my shortcut useful and fast Alt_F_M to facilitate this several times a day when I organize things in Windows Explorer. But recently, I've noticed this useless thing of Mediainfo it sort the shortcut gets stuck. Of course I could hit the letter M twice, but what I really need to understand, is what determines what is placed on the table of the file (and Edit, View, etc.). When I D training Mediainfo highlighted is not in the file. Only when the file or folder is highlighted is present in all its glory without glory. I have search for mediainfo in C drive as drive D, where a lot of my programs residence without success. Its not in Add/Remove Programs, of course. Its just a litter from a previous uninstall which is always hanging around.
It is in the registry? Group Policy? Maybe someone could point me in a direction... :))
Please do not post links Microsoft. I will never understand them I'm mentally deficient in Microsoft jargon. Maybe his genetics. :)
Just need to know what I'm doing to control what is displayed under these Menu items. In fact, this raises another point: if I could control what is displayed here, it would be wonderful, and Windows Explorer would be even better than it already is... which is good enough as a file manager. I tried to Total Commander, but found much more fluid to use Windows Explorer. Here again, I am a fool. :)
Its really amazing how the vast majority of computer users have no idea where everything is on their system. When I draw to them with things of the Explorer Windows are starting to fall into place in their minds. Its a shame Microsoft (and Apple is just as guilty as anyone) is not like the default mode to find stuff in the Windows Explorer operating system. On the contrary, so many people use shortcuts (such as the office!) who just confuse greatly when they really need to find something manually. Then they totally lost.
I'm this list under files, folders, and online storage. If this is the wrong category made me know please.
