How to remove one of the editions of Windows that I currently have on my laptop?

Original title: I have 2 OS on my laptop (home that came w / it. and professional because of the needs of the job I did the professional more so how can I remove the professional and keep the House?)

I have a laptop HP Pavillion that came w / XP Media Center Edition OS on it. Then a little while the latter I had a job that I could telework and the company I went to work for the slot of the drive to add professional XP. So now I have the Media Center Edition and Professional Edition, and as you can guess the computer is very slow. Well I have that more employment and want to return to only 1 Media Center Edition OS. How can I remove the professional edition?

Get a partition manager and use it to format the local disk drive holding the BONE you want to delete. After you're done merging now empty partition with the local disk that contains the OS Win XP Media Center.

Caution when you do.

    We recommend that you remove the entry that allows Windows to start successfully. Microsoft Windows Vista (C:\Windows) is the default. You can remove the second entry and check the result (delete if it does not work).

  • Ss12, time remapping: how to remove one of the multiple time zones?

    Ss12 has the time remapping effect, which is excellent.

    I remapped a clip, featuring several "zones" in slomo.  After clicking on the + sign to create the last zone, I realized that this was too many, and not really quite the same concept as the other.  I had not yet dragged the border to create any length.  But there seems to be no way to remove it, delete or cancel the action of having created it.  "Reset" to delete all time zones.

    I could leave it as is, with a normal attribute of the time full speed.  But it is sloppy and let this kind of artifact behind in any type of program or project can turn against you.  If this is not an option.

    I could delete them all and start over.  But it would be a lot of work and would not be closer to the fundamental issue, which is to know how to delete or cancel one time zone.

    Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

    Kawika808

    The first thought that comes to mind was to put on 'Normal' for the time zone of interest here.

    But there is an easier way... at the top right corner of a block of time zone is of x. Click to close and to get rid of this particular time zone.

    Please let us know if none of this works for you.

    Thank you.

  • How to remove one of the two temporary files

    Nice demo - I didn't realise that was possible. What happens if someone has used some TEMP space inside that datafile?
    
    John
    

    I have omitted this problem because I think he has created just the temporary file, so the temporary file was not in use.

    In this case, if the wrong tempfile is in use, you will get the following error:

  • 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.

    Start by reading the PDF standard (ISO 32000 - 1) to understand the Actions vs Destinations.

    Then for each annot, you'll want to see that she (and in the case of an Action, if it has more than one).  Next, you need to analyze the action or dest to see what it is and where it goes.  If you do not, you will delete it.
