With Vista and Office 2007 Windows operating system, I am frustrated with a mini-bar of scrolling that appears at the end of my needle and sends the page in four different directions - usually in front where I'm moving.

  • I want to disable the USN journal because of the huge size and fragmentation

    In fact, I decided to use Windows again after 7 is out and seems relatively stable.  I've been a Linux user for many years.

    I want to disable the USN journal because of the huge size and fragmentation; I am not concerned about its performance in the fragmentation, I am concerned about the fragmentation of other files that it encourages rather SHORT time same amounts.  Not all programs have created allowances size correctly when creating new files so even a new file which was one copy of another (100 MB) can be fragmented over 30 times in a NTFS FS relatively fully defragmented.

    Microsoft?  HOW DO DISABLE YOU THE USN JOURNAL IN WINDOWS 7?  Not "How can I clear this" or "how stuck junk to existing articles"...  How is it DISABLED?

    -FRUSTRATED

    fsutil usn [deletejournal] {/D | / n}

    Of http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc788042 (WS.10) .aspx

    However, I am sure that you can not turn it off for the system volume.

    You will get a response from Microsoft here.

    Just one extra point. I guess that you are talking about the \$Extend\$UsnJrnl:$J metafile; It is a fragmented NTFS file. The oldest entries are reset to zero while the file increases so they don't take any physical disk space. Actually used disk space may not exceed greatly MaxSIze + DeltaAllocation.

  • Disable the creation of Automatic System Restore Point? -SOLVED

    Is it possible to disable the automatic creation of System Restore Point (to prevent Windows to create points of food every day and after (re) install programs / Windows updates)?

    I want to manually create System Restore Points because the automatic creation uses too much space, because I install new programs very often.
    Note that I still want to use system restore. I don't want it to be automatic.

    Hello

    Well, Yes, you can shut down the computer to automatically create restore points by disabling the system of protection under the system restore. System protection is a function that creates and records information about your computer's system files and settings regularly. The system protection also saves previous versions of files that you have modified. It saves these files in the restore points that are created just before significant system events, such as the installation of a program or device driver. They are also created automatically once every seven days if no other restore points were created in the last seven days, but you can create restore points manually at any time.

    Again, I suggest you to create a restore point when you turn off system protection. Basically, to store restore points, you need at least 300 megabytes (MB) of free space on each hard disk with the system on Protection. System Restore can use up to 15 percent of the space on each disk. As the amount of space fills up with restore points, System Restore deletes older restore points to make room for the new. The system protection, the feature that creates restore points, is enabled by default. We recommend that you keep System Protection turned on for all hard disks that contain important files so that you can use system restore if you need to.

    Check out the link to disable restore points:

  • I want to disable the motherboard for a Pavilion p6232p video driver

    I need to turn off or disable the driver for the card on mother built in video card in a p6232p of Pavalion.

    The manufacturers motherboard is an Asus IPIBL-LB

    I bought a GE Force 620 Nivida GT video card. I installed it. Then, I ordered a 400 watt power supply to replace the 300 watts delivered with the p6232p. I put everything back together and then I read the installation

    Once again the instructions and I saw that everything built the onboard video drivers supplied with the p6232p had to be disabled. I was frustrated and hung on my monitor for the new card (Nividia GT 620).

    I booted up and everything worked fine. I then installed the CD supplied with the card and it worked as well. BUT! the installation instructions were to remove the old video card or disable any motherboard built

    among drivers. So, that's what worry me because when I started first with the new pc card took control without any installation disc. There is no connection to the old pc blue monitor connector. Maybe I could check the list of devices to see if the drivers are always active. Thank you for your response, cajanpepper
