• How to stop sharing folder Windows Media Player executable because it uses too much CPU?

  How can I disable the network share (wmp.share) because he is constantly using too much CPU? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

  Hello
  • This happens while Windows running media player?
  • What were the changes made before the problem occurred?
  You can view these methods:
  Method 1:
  I recommend you perform the clean boot.

  Configuration of your system in a clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

  See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
  
  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

  Method 2:
  I suggest that you try to reset the media library. Note firstly reset the library will make you lose all play counts and ratings too. Then, follow these steps:

  -Restart the PC.
  -Click Start, type services.msc in the search field and press ENTER. In Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service . If its status is started , double-click the service, and then click stop .
  -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
  -In this folder, rename the folder Media Player as Old Media Player . If you do not see the folder, then it is probably hidden. Set Explorer to view the hidden files and folders and show protected system files.
  -Launch WMP, your library will have been reset and will be rebuilt. Check if the problem persists.

• start-up: how to stop my yahoo messenger and windows messenger from starting when signing

  want to know how to stop my yahoo messenger and windows messenger from starting when signing.

  It is always better to stop programs from starting with Windows from the programs themselves, so look in their choices first. There may be an entry in your start > programs > startup folder which can simply be removed. If a program does not offer a way to control the start-up of its preferences, use msconfig to clear the check box next to its name, apply and OK on. Also take a look in your programs > startup folder to see if there is an entry for the application it.

  Start Orb > Search box > type: msconfig and when it appears in the results area above, right-click and choose 'run as administrator '.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue. Then see what is on the Startup tab. You don't need to restart immediately, but next time you do, you will get a dialog box saying that you have used the utility. Usually, it will be blocked by Windows Defender, and you need to allow it to run so that you can then check the box that says in effect, "don't mind to this subject again".

  Important - do not use the System Configuration utility to stop the process. Use Services and stop all services, unless you really, really know what you're doing.

  The free Autoruns program is very useful for managing your Startup - http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/default.mspx

• The action cannot be completed because the file is open in Windows Explorer.

  OK, it seems to be coming a lot but no one was able to respond (including Microsoft) so I'll ask, and be as specific as possible.

  Because I work with vector art that I constantly have to save files by crush the and everything was cool with WinXP pro.  I have Win7 Pro and everything was cool, until recently.  Whenever I tried to overwrite my files, I would get an error message saying that the file was either dead or opened elsewhere, but it has happened about 50% of the time.  A launch the re-registration of files with different names.  After obtaining the files re-registered I then try to remove and rename files, but found I couldn't do it anymore, as I was constantly getting the error message "The action cannot be completed because the file is open in Windows Explorer."  Closing and reopening the browser do nothing.  Someone said if not empty the trash bin works, but not for me.  The files are on an external drive, I tried to disable the cache of writing by Device Manager and Windows Management Console (or other) frozen and took the pc with it (nice work, MS!).  Reboot seems to fix the problem for a bit, but he returned quickly and randomly.  It also seems to randomly select to lock files.  Some files I can not change, some that I can.  Others begin to operate after some time of inactivity.

  I tried to disable thumbnails in Explorer and even added a DWORD NoThumbnailCache in the registry, but it still happens.  Basically, I'll have to save all of the new files over and over again and that from time to time be able to remove the "old" while being only randomly too write others.  This question seems to be infestation Vista and Win7 and people have waited for a fix, Microsoft, but was mum on the issue.  If anyone can come up with a solution, it would be great.  It is killing my productivity!

  Common guys...
  Im having this problem too and I've been thought IE9 is at the origin of the problem, some how, I don't want to disturb...

  Here are some solutions:
  Please note that I'm looking, there is not any solution patch for this program by Microsoft, you can maintain it yourself. And correct solutions in this way losses.

  Solution 1: Use CMD.
  0 - note the following 3 steps will complete the process explorer.exe, so your desktop and windows Explorer all open files and any associated process would stop.
  1. run the Task Manager. (by pressing ctrl + shift + esc or etc)
  2 - go to the processes tab.
  3 - find "explorer.exe" and click on the button "complete the process". If you find several explorer.exe, kill them all.
  4. now, click the menu file-> new task (run...)
  5 type CMD, and then click OK.
  6. now you can do something you couldn't have done before with this user interface. Some useful commands:
  -cd: change the current directory. Use 'CD..' to the 'button' in windows Explorer.
  -dir: lists the existing file and folders in the directory current. Use ' dir/p' to the list in the pages.
  -del [file name]: removes the file [filename] existing in the current directory.
  -Rename [name of file] [new file name]: rename the file [old file name] existing or a file existing in the current directory to [new file name].

  Solution 2: Use a different file manager.
  0 - install and run another Manager file as "XYPlore".
  1 Note that the following 3 steps will end your explorer.exe process, so your desktop and windows Explorer all open records and all other related processes would cease.
  2. run the Task Manager. (by pressing ctrl + shift + esc or etc)
  3 - go to the processes tab.
  4 - find "explorer.exe" and click on the button "complete the process". If you find several explorer.exe, kill them all.
  5. use XYPlore UI and do what you want.
  Please note that the problem could happen with this kind of external explorers too. So close any file and go into a secure after your working directory.

  Solution 3: Do it yourself!
  If you can program, there are some codes that might help you. These codes which talks about Im, says MS Windows to remove your annoying pinned files just before you shut down the system.
  Here is an example:
  MoveFileEx ('C:\windows\system32\ld21E.tmp', nil, MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING or MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT);
  This code will work correctly in Delphi from Borland compilers, and as you can see, the "ld21e.tmp" file is deleted after compiling this code and restart your windows.

  I wish I can do better, as to publish an Explorer that do what you want automatically, so I hope that these can be useful.
  Some how you can check this thread too, it may be useful:

  Hello

  Were there any changes (hardware or software) to the computer before the show?

  Method 1 : delete the file in safe mode and check if the problem is solved or not.

  Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed.

   Start your computer in SafeMode (Windows 7)

  Method 2 : perform the steps in the article and check if the problem is solved or not.

  Why can't I delete a file or a folder?

  Hope that helps.
