How to restore the My Documents & Settings folder after a reinstall of XP
Its possible, he didn't delete the old user information and its always there somewhere. Try to go in the Panel. Folder options | View and uncheck Hide extensions of known file types and check the option to show the hidden files and folders. Then do an advanced search and include files and folders hidden in the Advanced property search and search for (*.jpg and *.gif for images, *.mp3 to the music and.doc for documents with *.dbx OE messages if you used OE). If you can't find them, then they have been abducted or are inaccessible. For the latter, you can try to connect in SafeMode as administrator, and then do the search again, just in case.
Otherwise, as noted by Syed, without a backup you are out of luck.

How to restore the T61 factory settings
Hi all
I formatted my hard drive that came with Vista from the factory. I installed XP and now I am facing hell of problem with that. Right now, I think to go back and make available in my vista system. I don't take any backup on the system. But when I formatted, it showed me that 152 GB instead of 160 GB, I understand that lenova takes the hidden partition Moldavian disk to preserve history and backup of the operating system settings. When I go to the BIOS screen I can't see one of the options to restore my system back. We can do that, or we should send to support the Center, do. Please me gve some suggestions...
Thanks in advance
Krishna
If you have formatted your hard drive it menas that you have deleted the recovery partition. You have just 152 GB because your HARD drive is formatted in NTFS as it should.
The only option left for you is to call Lenovo and ask the recovery CD.
Sorry for preaching, but you should back up your system if you decide to format the HARD drive (provided, you may need to get back the original settings)
Best wishes.

How to restore the default permission settings in Vista
I had problems sharing files and went to different media pages, mainly integrated ones. I changed the user permissions and tried to add the user on the Security tab, but I must have done something wrong. 128-bit encryption seems to be lost. Maybe it's that everything that triggers this file was transformed into a "read only" file (which has happened to another file, I've tried to share). Any help will be appreciated.

How to restore the permissions for the folder
I work with Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 10.
Initially I tried see my Cookies folder and eventually he finds in C:\Users\(my user name). I wanted to look at the files and potentially manually remove some, but I was not allowed access to the folder. I am the sole owner and the user of that PC. I figured it would give me full permission for files and folders.
I tried to change the permissions on the folder, and even if the properties show that I have all permissions except "Special permissions" I was unable to open the folder.
A second possibility, I changed the permissions 'All' allow all these same permissions - I clicked on full control. A warning window appears saying that there are permissions that were more in agreement and it is potentially unstable. I then decided to cancel this change all the permissions back, but am currently not able to restore the original permissions. I am really unable to change all permissions to this folder now.
I would like to restore the permissions on this folder Cookies in their original condition / by default. Can someone help me?
ALSO: since my original post, I noticed that in the icon beside my C:\username\ subdirectory when you view it in Solution Explorer, there is a lock. I don't know if it was there before. Is this a normal representation / by default to the directory?
Thank you.

Gateway DX4300 - how to restore the drivers to the folder window.old.
Hi, I just reformatted my PC. lost all my drivers and ask you how to restore the drivers to the folder window.old. My PC is a gateway dx4300 built in maps Ethernet and video. Unfortunately the gateway doesn't have these drivers.__Thanks.
Oh, how it would help if truly comprehensive published Gateway of material form for a machine... :(
I only am not surprised you found the driver for the modem didn't work - the only one I found was a Vista driver in proportion; Server 2 k 8 x 64 probably don't like that too much. ;)
But, a little research on Google (and, looking at the list of Vista drivers for this machine) does not give something useful: your card network (the thing you need more) seems to be a Marvell Yukon 88E8075 (possibly 88E8071) Gigabit NIC. These drivers are available directly from Marvell: http://www.marvell.com/support.html
Just select "88E8075" in the menu dropdown part number, then take the package Windows Server 2008 SP2 (x 64). Install it, get the machine online, run Windows Update. I am betting that WU will be able, at a minimum, give you work pilots 'real' (rather than the generic or non-existent drivers you have) so that you can sort.
Honestly, I'm surprised that there is no drivers for this NETWORK adapter - it's a fairly common piece.HTH,
