    I think I know how to uninstall programs; However, how can you say that programs are essential to the functioning of my laptop and who are just garbage programs or programs that I rarely use. Some are obvious (such as games and other), but there is so much and I'm not computer savvy. Help, please.     Give me a list for computer idiots or something. Thanx.

    Refresh your PC goes like this:

    • The PC starts in Windows RE (Recovery Eenvironment).
    • Windows RE scans the hard drive for your data, settings, and applications and puts them aside (on the same drive).
    • Windows RE installs a new copy of Windows.
    • Windows RE restores the data, settings, and applications, which it set aside in the newly installed copy of Windows.
    • The PC reboots into the newly installed copy of Windows.

    "When you reboot your PC, the drive will be completely reset and all your applications and your files will be removed it." Windows 8 will be reinstalled, and you need to change any settings, and then reinstall all the apps you want to come back after the reset. If you know if all the files you don't want to lose, then you must back up these files before you start resetting.

    This means that you delete your Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. This process does not delete your Firefox profile (such as bookmarks and passwords) data, since this information is stored in a different location.

    To do a clean reinstall of Firefox, follow these steps: Note: you can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from mozilla.org office (or choose the download for your operating system and language on this page) and save the file to install it on your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (or open the Firefox menu

      Click the close button

      ).

    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

  • How can I get the upgrade to windows 7 I am eligible

    Hello

  • How to prevent the automatic upgrade for Windows 10

    Press reports say that Microsoft will 'soon' 10 Windows upgrade recommended for Windows 7, leading to the automatic download and installation.  I don't want that.  I have upgraded to Windows 10, then returned to 7 (leaving an extra 100 GB of something on my hard drive).  I intend to hold out until the last minute, and perhaps later.

    So, how to prevent this scheduled automatic upgrade?  Do I have to turn off updates in Windows 7 and manually review every update?  What I read who cannot help because Microsoft does not offer as much detail about the upgrades as in the past.

    Computers were a hobby for me in 1980.  After 35 years the computers are now a tool and their maintenance is a chore.  I'll learn Windows 10 when I need to and not before.  I really don't want to use 10 at home and at work 7.  When my employer upgraded, so I will.

    Hello DilbertFan,

    For the first year that Windows 10 is out, he will be free to users with a license for Windows 7 or 8.1.

    If you don't know that you do not want to update then please copy the text following that I have which is in italics below and paste it into Notepad.

    The Publisher of the registry Windows Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Gwx]"DisableGwx"=dword:00000001

    Once you have that then go ahead and save it to your desktop and save it under "block 10" or something like that. ""

    Return to your desktop and locate this file and change the extension from .txt to .reg file

    Save it, and then double-click the file. It is to modify the registry to block the upgrade of Windows 10. I use a lot.

    Thank you

  • How to uninstall manually suite CS3 from Windows 7

    I have Creative Suite 3 Production Premium on Windows 7,

    I need to uninstall CS3 so I can reinstall it.

    Windows 7 - Panel configuration/programs/programs and features/add or remove Adobe Creative Suite 3 Production Premium/uninstall/change did nothing.

    AdobeCreativeSuiteCleanerTool.exe said "There is no session to remove."

    Useless Adobe technical support told me to call and then told me they won't help me because CS3 is no longer covered.  Go to the forum for help.

    I checked the compatibility with Windows 7 and CS3 is compatible.

    I tried to add a new user to administrator and tried to reinstall CS3. Can I use the trial, but it does not recognize my valid serial number.  I can't use Windows 7 uninstall or cleaning of Adobe on this new user tool either.

    So, how can I manually remove CS3 so I can reinstall CS3?

    You could try running this utility from Microsoft to see if it allows you to remove from Creative Suite 3, and then reinstall, http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall.

    If this does not work, you can delete the Adobe software, you can remove and then delete the following directories.

    • Program Adobe
    • Program Common Files Adobe
    • Program files (x 86) \Adobe
    • Program files (x 86) \Common Files\Adobe
    • Adobe application program
    • \AppData\Roaming\Adobe Users\ directory

    The last two records, you will need to be able to view hidden files to locate the directories.
