In Windows 7, I wonder how I can delete my history folder in the file Explorer window. There are folders there appears no longer exist.

Looking at my history of folder in Windows 7, I see some files that no longer exist on my PC, but still appear in my story.  I would like to know how to get rid of them.  I tried to look in the internet options, as deleting the history of IE is the closest thing to you that I could find, but there is nothing there to affect the file Explorer.  Also, I couldn't find anything in the folder for this options.

Hi DaNorm,

Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.

Go to the following location on your computer and delete the contents of the historical record. And then check if your problem is resolved.

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\History

AppData is a hidden folder, so you will need to follow the steps below to view it.

1. Click Start and then click computer.

2. click on tools (if you are unable to see Tools option, and then press the ALT key on the keyboard).

3. Select folder options.

4. on the view tab, select Show hidden files and folders (in advanced settings)

5. now click on the Ok button.

Hope this information is useful.

Let me know if it worked.

Thank you, and in what concerns:

  • How can I get a copy of the file < windows > \system32\hal.dll.

    How can I get a copy of the file \system32\hal.dll.   ?

    There are 7 possibilities for the hal.dll file and the installation of XP takes the right one to match your hardware during the installation of XP.

    That's why replace a bit difficult because you need to know which of the 7 on the XP installation CD you need.  You can guess and try things and you might get lucky, or you can try them all.  That would take some time and probably be frustrating and you would need a CD bootable XP installation genuine to start the trials and errors.

    Replace the hal.dll file becomes even more difficult, because most of the people do not have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, even if they wanted to replace the hal.dll file.  If you really want just a copy, you can understand that one you need or just copy the one you already have.

    Unfortunately, the Microsoft Answers don't ask for enough information when a new question is asked to provide you with a good idea for your problem not specified.  For all that is your problem not specified, you will need to provide additional information.

    If you see the message that your hal.dll file is missing or damaged, the chances are that the file is not really missing or damaged... Windows XP just can not find the file.

    Fix hal.dll "missing or corrupted" message is usually not too demanding and has nothing to do with the replacement of the file.

    Maybe someday the dialog box 'ask a question' forums XP will ask these questions automatically when a new thread is started so I don't have to ask every time.  It might even be possible to solve a problem in a single response when enough information is provided.

    Please provide additional information on your system:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a CD/DVD drive work?

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    Does anyone know why you can't display RAW .dng thumbnails of image files in the file Explorer Windows 8.1 even with the Microsoft Camera Codec Pack installed.

    Other RAW files appear as thumbnails without problem (e.g. Nikon. NEF files). I could see dng thumbnails in Windows 7, but not with Windows 8.1. Perhaps, Adobe did not share the appropriate information. for Microsoft to get there?

    See if you know how to see the dng thumbnails and can help me to do the same.

    If you have an IMAP account, go to Mail/preferences/accounts/box mailbox behaviors and make sure that the store deleted messages on the server is not checked. If this is the case, uncheck the box and see if you can remove the trash.

    If that is not working, go to Mail/trash, select an e-mail message and then control - click/Delete. Does it work?

  • How to permanently delete a recent list of the start menu program?

    Hello

    I would like to know how I can prevent a program from appearing in the list of most recently used programs on the start menu in Windows 7 (Pro).

    For example, "notebook" is in this list, but I've only start it by double-clicking on text files, never through the start menu. In this way, 4 of the 10 last menu entries are shortened I will never use and that take away space for other, more valuable shortcuts.

    I know that I can delete items manually by using the right-click menu ("remove from list"), but I really prefer a way to do this is permanent.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance!
    Michael

    Hi Michael

    I don't think there is a way to accomplish what you describe. There is no way to set this component to "ignore" specific programmes.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you for using Windows 7

  • I have no sound when playing my clips by adobe first 12 elements. How to fix this? I checked all the audio levels and there is no mute etc. I've updated to 12.1. Still no sound.

    I have no sound when playing my clips by adobe first 12 elements. How to fix this? I checked all the audio levels and there is no mute etc. I've updated to 12.1, but still no sound in clips. Not even on the old files that are used to work.

    Bfun

    What operating system is running your first items 12/12.1? Can we assume that this audio reads OK

    on the same computer when you use a computer independent of Premiere Elements drive?

    What are the properties of these clips that have worked before, but don't know regarding sound

    For now, I will assume that you are working on Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 64bits.

    Have you checked the settings change preferences/Menu/Audio ASIO hardware? You have all 3rd party audio devices integrated in your IT environment?

    Please delete the Adobe Premiere elements Prefs file and, if it does not, then all 12.0 folder in which the Adobe Premiere elements Prefs file exists. Is the path to 64-bit Windows 7, 8 or 8.1

    Local disk C

    Users

    Owner

    AppData

    Roaming

    Adobe

    First Elements

    12.0

    and in the 12.0 folder, is the file Adobe Premiere elements Prefs that you delete. If this does not work, then delete all 12.0 the folder in which the Adobe Premiere elements Prefs file exists. Make sure that you work with the Option "Show hidden files, folders and drives" of the current folder so that you can see the full quoted path.

  • During execution of the backup and maintenance on one of my computers, I noticed a folder and the file that I can't identify me...

    Original title: identity of unknown folder

    During execution of the backup and maintenance on one of my computers (Windows xp home, sp3), I noticed a folder and the file that I can't identify.  The name of the folder is cc68f6b7a7ca948eefb018f001 and the name of the update.exe file.  The properties of the file that it is a Windows Service Pack installation.  I tried Googling the name of the folder, but found nothing.

    Can you tell me with regard to this issue, and what, if anything, I have to do?

    Thank you.

    When some programs (including Windows) installs things, it can create a temporary folder composed of 20-30 random letters and numbers or random numbers and letters in the root of the drive of the volume with more free space.

    This explains why the records are sometimes on your C drive or any other drive - the most space?

    For example, you can see a similar to or called folder:

    D:\9470bb12e8a4f3447657236478e41c5

    There may be other folders and files in this main temporary folder such as amd64 and i386 platforms.

    They should normally be deleted when the installation is complete, but sometimes they are not - especially if the installation fails.  They are harmless but annoying.  You can think something is wrong when there are no or fear, that the files are really necessary.  To avoid confusion, you can delete the temporary files.

    If your installation has failed or the installation does not remove the folder to the random name when it finishes running again installation will be another folder at the random name.

    You may be able to identify installation (out of curiosity) by looking at some of the contents of the folder and decide if this installation was not serious, just remove the files/folders.  If the installation does not work for some reason, run again just installation will create a new temporary folder to the random name so the old temporary folder is really useless.

    Records are sometimes tough to remove.  Even if you are an administrator on the system, you might get a "sharing violation", "access denied", "used" or type similar message when you try to delete temporary folders.  Facilities sometimes use different permissions that can have a regular user with the administrator group.

    There are many methods to try to remove the folders, and some require third party programs to install or change some windows settings that could compromise the security of your system if you do not change them back when you're done.

    Start your system in Mode safe mode (by pressing the F8 key several times just before XP attempts to load) is one good method to try to remove the files because it does not have to make any changes to your system configuration or by downloading third-party programs.

    If you are running XP Home Edition, the following section on turn off "Simple file sharing" does not apply to you since in XP Home, Simple file sharing is always turned on.  If you are running XP Home Edition, skip the next few paragraphs and resume where it says:

    "If no part tool above work try a third popular called Unlocker.

    If Safe Mode does not work you can change the security of the folder when you start in Normal Mode to give your username full control over the files by navigating to it in Solution Explorer, click on tools, Folder Options, view and in the advanced settings window, uncheck (at the bottom of the list) use simple file sharing (recommended) and click OK.  This disables him recommended simple file sharing on your computer if you want to turn it back on when you're done to make everything you do.

    Right-click on the files of interest, click Properties and click the now visible security tab.  Change the properties, but you need (for example, select your user name, and check the box to allow full control), click OK to apply the changes.

    With usage share of active simple files (recommended) the checked the properties of the folder tabs are:

    General, sharing, customize

    With the use of sharing files simple disabled (recommended) box unchecked, the properties of the folder tabs are:

    General, security, customize

    Now, try to manipulate/delete the folder.

    It's a good idea to go back to the Explorer and the cheque in the box easy to use sharing files (recommended) when you have finished making everything you do.

    If none of the above works, try a popular third-party tool called Unlocker.

    Unlocker can be downloaded here:

    http://www.emptyloop.com/Unlocker/

    If you use Unlocker, be sure to install because he wants to add a bunch of options, addons, shortcuts and other extras that you don't need.

    You must add the shell extension so when you right click on the offending file, you will have a Unlocker option to choose.  I would just install it long enough to clean up the leftovers and then, I usually just uninstall and all parts of it.  You can always install it again another day if you like.

    Unlocker can be uninstalled when you have finished using it.

    Reboot when finished to ensure that boring records are really missing.
