I installed Windows 7 on a Vista machine. I want to delete the old files of Vista but system requires the permission of Mike-PC\Mike to make changes to this file. How can I get this permission?

I am convinced that the old program gives me a message about more than 500 fonts are installed everytime I open a works file.  This is my understanding of Windows 7 there is no limit on the installed fonts.  The old Vista file is more than 90 GB.  I already a copy of the file on a separate drive if something of him is never necessary.

If the Windows.old folder, the best way to remove it is with disk cleanup.

  • System Restore cannot run ' do allow you the program following an unknown Publisher to make changes to this computer: rstrui.exe '? "

    I'm trying to run a system restore, and I have Windows 7.  The problem started when Yahoo hacked my Google with Firefox search engine.  I could not understand how to get my search engine to Google, so I tried to do a "system restore."  I get a message from "user account control" who says: ' do you want to allow the program following an unknown Publisher to make changes to this computer: rstrui.exe Editor: unknown origin of the file: hard drive of this computer. "  I think that rstrui.exe is actually the Windows program for the restoration of the system, but I don't think I should get a message like "Editor: unknown."  I ran Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and Spybot, but came to nothing.  If my system restore has been disabled?

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).

  • Dreamweaver CS6 uses old deleted files: How can I get rid of them?

    Hello world

    This is my first post... I have a problem which is really annoying. Using Dreamweaver CS6 on desktop Win 7-64 bit, I had outside assistance to transfer a website in html5 and CSS3. When the site was almost finished, I have imported the entire site and worked on it by myself using Dreamweaver CS6. This worked well, until I again had outside help in the index.html file. I imported the new index.html file which worked on the outside, but dreamweaver does not allow this: he continues to show the old index.html file that I had deleted before, even when I try to re - import the site etc. The web, I found that it might be useful to delete the history of files using regedit. I did and also tried my best remove every vestige of the old version, aftzer, used CCleaner and Tuneup Utilities 2014, and even once, it did not help. I thought then that the only way would be for installing Dreamweaver CS6, still clean my computer to any what rest probably filed or files .bak and then after several raises and processes of cleaning, I have re-installed Dreamweaver CS6, in the hope that it works now. However, new Dreamweaver came up with the same problem. Somewhere in the mists of your hard drive, dramweaver must always have access to the long deleted files and even once does not allow me to work on the new corrected index.html file. Anyone of you have any idea how I can get this working properly? Thank you so much in advance and greetings from the Lake District Salzburg, Giraldus

    Mr Hans-Günter,

    Dear all,

    I have a solution: I open the file 'wrong', completely leached all the HTML and JavaScript, open the actual file with firefox, then copied the code from here and pasted in the now empty index.html file. Then, I stored this one and now it works and the old .bak? copy has disappeared!

    Thanks to you, dear Hans-Gungter, and all who could probably thought about my problem with Dreamweaver.

    and the best of Salzburg Lake District,

    Giraldus
