How to remove old Dell 4500 info before giving it to grandson
you want to delete the old files and info private old computor before disposing of it. I have old CDs accompanying computor
If you have the CD to do it, format the hard drive and reinstall windows. I think that the dell 4500 s (if it is the dimension) gave you a real XP CD. The only thing you need to check for is a product key that should be on the side of the computer.

How to remove old Services of FXM of the dashboard of the EU in the FMS
How to remove old Services of FXM from edge of the EU in the FMS?
We have removed the few services of FXM, but again, we can see that in the EU in FMS dashboard. Please suggest measures to clear those FMS.
Hello
End-users objects exist generally in the administration server > data management (note the fxm and fxv nodes)
but they may exist in other places (according to what dashboard they appear on).
The caution would be to open a support case and support check that right objects are deleted in the right place in the data tree.
Hope this helps

Windows 7 user folders Redirection question - how to remove old, inactive placeholders?
Hello
I have just directed my documents folders user (Document, music, photo, video, Desktop, etc.) of my drive C:\ (128 GB SSD drive) in my D:\ Drive (1 TB HARD drive) for reasons that are obvious to many. I followed the instructions in the following link: redirect a folder to a new location
However, after redirected each back, C:\ drive My now still has placeholders of old for the following folders: music, photos and videos (highlighted in the attached image below) and I can't something with them (delete, rename or hide). What bothers me, for two reasons:
1. they are always there LURKING and I can finish by clicking on them instead of the redirected folders (as you can see there are three folders corresponding to my images, videos and music). I get the message "Access denied" whenever I click on them (I am the only user of that PC and the Admin, of course);
2. in the second place, I might want to redirect folders in the future to their original location, which will cause a problem because the placeholder is where, in my opinion.
Could someone please help and guide me how to remove these placeholders? Remove these placeholders allowed and recommended, or not?
I would be very grateful!
Thank you!
Frank
Hi Frank,.
You don't want to remove these. It is possible from the command line with a few advanced controls, but it will break. Many programs, even parts of Windows itself, look for these files at this location. These placeholders function as junctions and will redirect all programs to the new location if they try to use them. But if you delete placeholders, these programs will not redirected properly and they will fail.

How to remove old computers outside the network
renamed my computer on the network, and now the former name and the new name are visible in 'network '.
Of course I can only access my last 'name', but how can I remove the old computer?Hi ninjahomy,
Thank you for using Microsoft Windows forum.
Your computer is on the field ?
If it's on the field , then get in touch with: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/category/w7itpro, windowsvistaitpro, windowsxpitpro /
If this is not the case, there are 3 methods to remove it.
Method 1:
You can remove the old power off computers network on your router/modem, which will have a list of home computers > Home Network > Display Devices. Hit the set up on this screen allows you to delete the old computers from the list.
Method 2:
Another method to try is to clear the DNS cache:
1. click on start
2. open the administrator mode command prompt and type "ipconfig/flushdns", and restart.
Method 3:
Have you tried to reboot server from a cold start? Cold start
turned off, unplugged, power cable means not only the computer switch
off, for at least 30 seconds, a minute or more is better.All computers OFF, removal of tension (pull the plug if you have to; not of power
depend on the power switch; It's not always really 'off').Wait 30 seconds or more. Turn on the server machine. Let boot completely.
Then:
Do a restart of the server computer, you just start. It's just insurance,
sort of a fail-safe action.Now power on other machines. the list has to rebuild properly.
EMI at least.If you have problems with GROUPS, I think that can be deleted. Or
renamed, all that is necessary. Remember, each machine needs a group and the
the same group, to include IN a group.HTH
Pop'This list should be be rebuilt every time that the computer starts, if if
There is nothing here to identify the missing machines, they should not be
display upwards.Hope this has helped

Create a slide show by copying and pasting... How to remove "old slides?"
Hi all! I'm new to Muse and I love it! I created several "slideshows" using a slideshow widget. I started with the model miniature, but then realized that I had too many photos to use thumbnails. So, I removed the thumbnails and am just using the arrows for people to move through the images. I make different images each month. I want to just copy and paste the widget I put in place. But... without the thumbnails, I can't understand an easy way to get rid of the old pictures once I have put the new. How can I do this? Thank you!
Julie
At the top right of your slide show you finde a little arrow that opens a menu of configuration. You will find the option "thumbnails."
A second option: activate 'Prev' and 'Next' in the menu. "Then click the appearance" > "or"<" button,="" until="" the="" picture="" is="" shown,="" then="" klick="" onto="" the="" hero="" image,="" until="" it="" is="" selected="" and="" press="">" >

How to remove old network cards in XP guest upgrade?
I had difficulties to install VMware Tools and found with three (3)! unusable old AMD PCnet etc cards network after having put in the vmxnet driver 3.
XP will not let me delete these network adapters in the Device Manager, I've currently disabled them.
Guest XP rpet "failed to uninstall the device. The device may be required to start the computer.
How can I remove them? Can I remove the vmxnet and start all over again?
I need to know the right way to remove the old NIC because I have a lot of virtual machines to upgrade.
Thank you, Tom
Hello.
Remove the old network interface cards is usually done via the Device Manager. From the command prompt, type the following:
Set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices = 1
devmgmt.msc
When the Device Manager opens, select the view menu and choose "Show Hidden devices."
If you can not remove this way, you may need to enter in the registry. Search HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Class the NIC name (as it appears in Device Manager). The Characteristics field will probably have a value similar to 0 x 00000029 - change this value to 0 x 00000009 will be the NIC user removable.
As with all things related registry, have good backups and be careful.
Good luck!
