I have a t (shown) program which offers many files (listed) cleaning is safe [SP3 XP Prof]

I used Advanced System Care years. now V4 asks in his section of health, JUNK FILES section to analyze the text following {NOTE; not included in their recommendation} to search for what follows. Question: Is this safe and what do you think Experts?

THUMBNAIL CACHE
FILE TASKBAR JUMP

I HAVE NOT LISTED THE RECOMMENDED ANALYSIS FILES. {ALSOSO CAN YOU GIVE ME A LINK TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THESE?}

I would not use any registry cleaner, which is what ASC mainly grows.  See the following for a long time MS - MVP Ken Blake:

Registry cleaning programs are all snake oil. Cleaning of the
registration is not necessary and is dangerous. Let alone register and
do not use any registry cleaner. Despite what many people think, and
What software record cleaning suppliers are trying to convince you,
have unused registry entries is not really make you hurt.
The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner by mistake
delete an entry you need is much greater than any potential benefit
It can have.
Read http://www.edbott.com/weblog/archives/000643.html

and http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099

and also
http://blogs.technet.com/markrussinovich/Archive/2005/10/02/registry-junk-a-Windows-fact-of-life.aspx

Let me stress that neither me nor anyone else who warns the
use of registry cleaners never said that they always cause
problems. If they have always caused problems, they would disappear from
the market almost immediately. Many people have used a registry
cleaner and never had a problem with it.

The problem with a registry cleaner is that it carries with it
the risk of a significant problem. And since there is no
benefits of using a registry cleaner, running that risk is a very bad
good deal.

The files you listed, on the other hand, most of the time could be deleted-, but doing so probably will slow down your computer (probably imperceptibly) rather than the reverse.  You can Google any of these terms for more information, but in general, a "cache" is where Windows stores things that are frequently used, so you can find quickly and easily the next time that the item is searched.

Prfetch [sic. The "Prefetch" files], for example, to speed up the loading of applications.  There are many myths about the Prefetch folder, but for best results, leave it alone.

Usually the log files can be discarded.  Generally, you are not yet aware that a log file has been created.

Clearing "USER ASSIST HISTORY" is for the paranoid among us.  There is a registry key, but relatively safe to delete.  For more details, see http://personal-computer-tutor.com/abc3/v29/vic29.htm

    How to uninstall security programs I don't have, I have more than one and do not know which to use.  they clean too many files when uninstalled

    Hello jillmarsden,

    It is not recommended to have multiple Antivirus or firewall installed at the same time because they can cause conflicts as PaulAuckNZ said. However, instead of remove antivirus in programs and features, you must go to the Antivirus website and use the removal tool which is produced by the manufacturer of the antivirus program.

    Microsoft has a free Antivirus called Microsoft Security Essentials. It provides protection for your PC in real time at home that protects against software viruses, spyware and other malicious software. It is simple to install, easy to use and always up-to-date with protection.

    If the upgrade process sticks or does not respond to 99%, it is better to wait and do nothing for 5 to 6 hours. If there is still no progress to close the Wizard Windows 10 upgrade, restart the computer and try to upgrade following the tips detailed below.

  • Cannot open e-mail messages. MSG, it's that there is no program associated with this file and define and association. Have no clue as to how or what program choose. Thank you jp__

    problem is email

    I assume you are talking about email attachments.  Each attachment has a three-character extension that associates the file with a program (in the start menu / default of programs / associate a file or Protocol with a program and then scroll through the list for the three-character extension).  Many are well known (.doc for Word Documents) and .pdf for Adobe Reader documents, but some are not so well known.  Some are also used by several different programs is sometimes important to know what program created the file in order to know what program to associate with her.  Your best bet since it is emails is to ask the sender to you say the name and version of the program so that you can install a program that can at least find out if is not working with the file if you do not recognize the extension.  Some attachments to e-mail are not intended to be read and there are programmatic reasons and must not be opened (but I can't give you a list of all of them - barely know they exist).

    Sometimes you can google the extension (for example, google .avi http://www.afterdawn.com/glossary/terms/avi.cfm) and a link arises which will tell you what programs can do the file type and which programs can read or work with the file type (or you may need to go to other links to get this reversal - in this case a lot of programs can open the file because it is a very common file for which many different programs have been developed - program that it becomes irrelelevant).  If it's a single program, so you know what you need.  If more than one program, you must the sender to tell what program you used to create the file unless the .avi file that can be read by the host (or you can guess or try different options until you find one that works but this can take a long time, can damage the open file with wrong program and can be expensive if you buy one of the programs that you are testing).

    In fact you do not define an association.  When you install the program, the extensions it can handle are identified by the Setup program and included in the listing file associations.  In fact, there is no way to add an extension to the registration of the association - you can change the programs that are used by the extensions in the list by default.  Some extensions are added automatically by Vista when installed and work a little differently than others (for example, .lnk or .exe), but we don't need to go into that, unless the extension you are having problems with is one of those (you don't mention the extension so I can't give you advice).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck! Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

  • Why have I not duplicate program files

    I've updated my Windows 7 from 32 to 64-bit. I did a clean install and has first a quick format of the drive. It went well, but I have two copies of "Program Files". It is the usual program files and the second program (x 86). I want to get rid of this. I find that the programs which are installed and which do not have an option of a default installation location are (x 86), which I don't want. I tried to remove this file, but the control of user accounts does not allow me to do so, even if the cursor has been moved down and the computer restarted. I am the only user and owner of the computer. The (x 86) duplicates all Microsoft Standard normal programs too much unnecessary disk space, and now a large proportion of self installed progams. I don't mind having to reinstall those if this problem can be solved. Ken Brown

    Leave it as it is. If you succeed in what you try, you'll Windows 7 impractical.

    Program Files is to the Program Files (x 86) and 64-bit programs for 32-bit programs. These routines use different and Windows 7 calls the routine appropriate when he recognizes the type of program. If you change the structure Windows 7 simply will not work correctly.

    Most of the programs are still 32-bit and will be therefore installed in Program Files (x 86).

  • I can't access what whether the internet associated with such sites as Web and other programs which require an internet connection.

    Original title: Weird problem.

    My computer says it is connected to the network and the network is connected to the internet, but I can't access what whether the internet associated with such sites as Web and other programs which require an internet connection. I have reset the router and the computer many times and the problem is still there. Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Very strange that this issue has been raised suddenly and even system restore back the working time is not solve it.  At this point, I suspect something mischievous because restoration of return must be a guaranteed fix.  If it worked on Friday, it should work if restore you backup on Friday.

    I ask you to check if your network card has got an update which could have features broke, but that can't be the problem because the restoration of return would be handed over the old version.

    Indeed, using restore in a working time essentially says that this isn't a configuration problem, because configuration is in a known-to-be-working state (because he worked at the restored time).

    I would therefore start at this stage, verification of hardware, antenna, connections, equipment devices.
