Is it possible to move the \windows\installer folder? The reason why I ask is because it takes a lot of space and I want to move it to another disk with more space.
The \windows\installer folder takes a lot of space and I want to move it to another drive if possible. Ashwin
No, I don't think. Just about anything in the Windows directory cannot be moved. You will need to find another way to clear disk space. Try to compress your drive hard (if you don't know how, ask).

original title: metadata Windows 7
I tend to take a lot of pictures and I want to be able to add metadata to photos that I know what talking about the picture, where it was taken, the people of marking on the photo, etc. I used the Windows 7 Explorer to add metadata to photos (the pane at the bottom of the Explorer or by doing a right click and using the properties--> details recording here). Everything's all right. But the addition of data to hundreds of photos is a very demanding task. Therefore, I wanted some advice on the following questions before that I seriously undertake this work on thousands of photos:
- If I add metadata to photos using the Windows 7 Explorer, and then copy the photos to another computer with Windows XP, I keep all the metadata information that I added in Windows 7 and be able to read in the Explorer of Windows XP? Or will I lose all the metadata as we can add in a specific Windows 7 format, unreadable by Windows XP? Or even that I lost a part of metadata (fields newly added in Windows 7, in case some [which?])?
- These metadata will be compatible in the future versions of Windows? If I upgrade to a later version of Windows (whenever it comes out), my metadata laboriously added will be present and readable as well as all the pictures?
- Is metadata embedded in the file or is it stored in another table inside the Windows OS? I know this because, to wire different versions of Windows, I have totally lose the metadata when I copy the photos or that it will be present in the Interior photos but will only be unreadable?
If I lose any of my metadata on different versions of Windows, then this method of recording information of the photo seems unnecessary. If this is the case, can someone advise me the best method to save the details of the photos inside photos so that they are available (and readable), everywhere where the photo is taken or copied.
Hi mnae,.
If you add metadata to photos and then to copy the photos to another computer it keeps all the metadata information that you added.
If you upgrade to a version more recent Windows information will be preserved. Metadata are embedded in the file only.
I suggest that you first test with some files and check.

Of the reasons why the contents of a form to fill out on-line can be displayed or printed?
I created a form of 2 pages on Adobe Acrobat XPro. I sent it to specific people, and they filled, saved and sent it back. I am able to view what they typed in my monitor only, when I click on the field, but it will not print the content. Of the reasons why the contents of a form to fill out on-line can be displayed or printed?
What you describe is typical of a PDF form that has been used and corrupted by the application on a Mac. An outdated version of Acrobat or Reader will not cause this. A less likely possibility is also corrupt forms PDF, Microsoft Reader, but in different ways than the preview.

Windows 8 corrupted installation TrueCrypt encrypted another disk with Windows XP
Hello, I need help. I just installed new Windows 8 on an empty partition of the secondary drive.
The first drive I got the previous installation of Windows (XP). Unfortunately, I forgot, this hard drive is encrypted TrueCrypt. Windows 8 now works OK, but the disc with Windows XP seems to be empty. The other partition of the disk with Windows 8 works fine.
I have the TrueCrypt rescue disk and he managed to restore the TrueCrypt Boot, but when I try to start, he writes, that no bootable partition was found. It allows us to decipher the drive and when I start it, it seems to work, but it is too slow and I need to know if this can help. Try to restore a Volume of TrueCrypt header in Windows 8 fails ("way of wrong installation, wrong password or not a TrueCrypt Volume"). Pourrait installing Windows 8 format the drive?
(Sorry for my bad English)
Later: I tried data recovery, and it shows some files and folders http://postimg.org/image/9xt33kmw5/Hi Daniel,.
The drive that contains Windows XP displays empty because the file format of Windows XP is FAT (File allocation table) that is not supported by Windows 8. Windows 8 uses NTFS (New Technology File System). I would say to contact TrueCrypt support to check why the description of disk takes a long time. In Windows 8 If you want to encrypt or decrypt the data, you can use bit-locker installation. I suggest you to see the following links for more information on encryption of bit-locker.

I use Microsoft Security Essentials on Vista x 32. Security Center tells me to start Windows Defender. I click to start, but he tells me that I have to restart my computer or manually start Defender myself. I go to services, and it does not advocate. It basically tells me that my system has no need currently the program or there is another reason, it does not start. Responses tells me that for the error code of course, I met error 0x800106ba later Code it tells me to try to start it manually if it doesn't work I have uninstall Defender and need to reinstall it. Yet when I go to uninstall programs, Defender is not listed. I tried to install it again because it is not listed, I thought I could. When I went to install it, it-error telling me that I have already as it came pre-installed with Vista.
Now, my question. Do I really need Defender since I use Microsoft Security Essentials? Is in fact an older version almost essential? Why it tells me to start it if it is not needed? And if necessary, why it won't start

Diagnose the reason why I can not run (or even remove) an exe (JDK Installer)
I have a portable Win7 provided by my company. I'm supposed to have "admin rights" on the box. In the past I have never had any problem with the installation of things.
Today, I tried to download an installer for a newer version of the JDK. After downloading the file, I tried to run it normally and it seemed that nothing happened (just return at the prompt). I then tried to run it from a cmd, and it also seemed to do nothing. I then even tried to remove it with "DELETE", and it says "access denied." It was on a cmd run with 'run as administrator '. I get the same results with a 'normal' cmd
I checked that I could delete the other files in the same folder as the exe file.
I then tried to inspect the security properties of the file. From everything I see, I have 'Full control' on the file, including "read & run ' permission.
I then installed the tools from SysInternals "AccessChk". I just ran this without any options on the JDK installation file and an another exe in the same folder that I checked that I can run (although I have not tried to remove).
I can't see what follows (with some info that have been omitted):
---------------
JDK Installer:
R the world
RW.
RW\Domain Users Another exe in the same folder:
RW NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
RW BUILTIN\Administrators
RW.

backup of the database server takes a lot of space in repository
The heart is on a R2 server in 2012. This is a new installation of 5.4.3.106 there is a base.
I'm reserved system backup and the C drive.
Drive C is 57 GB.
I made a deposit of 160 GB on a UNC path to somewhere down this server. The backup was made on 29/04/15 07:58. It's 57GB.
The repository is full now. There 3 days.
No doubt. Deduplication default cache is stored on drive C and by default is saved every hour. It's quite a lot of paperwork and is what is backed up. Especially if you have size and have a cache of large deduplication to manage your repository.
You can move that cache of deduplication for another drive and that will help there as it is very likely.
I don't know if you get something to protect the cache of deduplication, since it is not transferable in any case :(

MY c DRIVE is nearly full. Can I use my external hard drive because it has a lot of space
My ' it shows only 123 MB available disc. I have a 500 GB external hard drive, but am not sure how to use it to free up space on my drive "C".
Any help would be much appreciated.Roy WarnerHi Roy,
Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.
The description of the problem you have provided, I understand that your C drive is full and trying to move some information on external hard drive.
I will certainly help you in this matter.
If you have data files in the C drive, you can go ahead and move them to the external hard drive. You will not be able to move the files to the program on the external hard drive.
In order to get the free space in C drive, you can go ahead and uninstall the software bit that you use it often.
See the link.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows-Vista/uninstall-or-change-a-program
You can also delete files using disk cleanup, which would reduce the number of unnecessary files on your hard disk to free up disk space.
