Is there a way to remove the icons on my desktop without deleting the associated files when right-clicking on the icon does not offer this option?

Most of the icons that appear on my desk I have download the new application files can be removed without uninstall or remove related files.  But when I right click on the icons that appeared after reinstalling Panda Internet Security and download of Adobe Reader software to date there is no option to remove the icon, there is rather a prompt asking you if I'm sure I want to move the file to the trash - which I did not.  When I look at 'properties', I see that the location for the two is my office.  I'm trying to reduce the visual clutter, is it possible to do?

Hello

Click right icon - properties - general tab - Type of file - if it is a LNK then it's only a
Shortcut and if you DELETE it then only it is removed and the underlying program is not
affected. To see where the program check the tab shortcut - target:.

If she is not a LNK and is a. EXE, com, bat and others so if if you delete the file
(which is not a shortcut) and then the program will not work. Shortcuts usually have ARROWS
on them in the lower left corner.

For programs that are stand-a-lone (were copied on the desktop and not installed) you
can make files elsewhere and copy them (and other parts such as.) DLL or. CFG
only as examples and some will have no other room) to then remove them from the
Desktop computer. If you have any programs that were installed on the desktop, you need to uninstall
them and their re - install elsewhere.

I hope this helps.

  • L7680 printer - when I try to put in place for the wireless, does not have this option in the configuration menu

    Have used the L7680 a few years connected to the hub.  Try to implement wireless (as so-called equipped), but not get guests in configure to allow, and when I run config, indicates offline.  Tried to connect to the PC and run the installation program again, but nothing has changed.  Advice?

  • Is there a way to remove the profiles via the registry setting or vbscript?

    Original title: user profiles are not deleted

    I used delprof in windows xp, in a script, to remove cached user profiles, but it does not work for Vista Ultimate. I tried reprof but the characteristics of certina if Vista prevents the Remprof of work corre4ctly. I also used the GPO setting on the client system Vista.

  • Is there a way to backup the catalog only not listed in the catalog? "CATALOGUE START WITH" generates double entry.

    The version of DB is 11.1.0.7.

    The 'CATALOGUE START WITH' not only added the backup set that are not in the RMAN catalog, but also added a second copy of files that are already in the catalog.
    The files are not a second copy; they are the same file in the same directory.

    Having two copies of the catalogue, by mistake when you explicitly delete the backups.
    We must add the force clause to avoid the error.
    RMAN > delete backup FORCE tag "off site-1';

    The clause of power ignores any IO error.
    The removal is part of our regular off-site backup script, which returns a false positive error when the clause is omitted.
    I don't want the clause, in order to be informed if the backup set that are supposed to be on the disk is not here, for example, if someone had removed the files manually at the level of the BONE without using rman.

    Is there a way to backup the catalog only not listed in the catalog?
    or maybe delete the copy entry #2 of the catalog?

    Do you really want to catalog the above files (enter YES or NO)? no
    

    Here you can see the database says 'Unknown files to the Database list' and then asks to added above files. These files are of no use to the RMAN. So I went no.. But the backup in the directory file is cataloged twice already, but watch copy 1 when asked of RMAN. Probably, it might be a bug and it is advised to increase SR with oracle to resolve the problem.

  • BIOS update failed: the process does not have this system. The process of the utility is not complete.

    I have a Thinkpad T450s and I'm trying to update the BIOS version 1.19 to 1.20. I've created a live usb with the 'el tortio' - image extracted using linux "dd". Once I boot on the USB under Legacy-BIOS and select upgrade, it proceeds witht the error message "the process does not have this system. The process has been cancelled. "I have disabled the protection against theft, AMT (I think this is the option) and I'm sure that I use the correct .iso file from the downloads section. I don't have a Windows operating system installed, but I'm able to start in various linux distributions using Legacy and UEFI methods.

    Here is my BIOS information.

    "Manage 0 x 0031, DMI type 0, 24 bytes.

    What could you suggest to get the update disc to recognize my system?

    I think I've fixed the problem, I formatted FAT16 USB drive and not in FAT32 and also when you use the geteltorito command, it is preferable to use the-o option rather than a redirection ">"syntax. " An article said that it is best to drop in a DOS command line using the USB boot, then run dosflash.exe from there, however, I could not edit the .bat file, but it is an option however.

    I hope this helps someone stuck in a similar situation.

  • my computer sunddenly had a password, and I'm not one that says. Now I can't open my computer more. It is caused by a virus? What should I do? Is there another way to remove the password, without reformatting?

    I'm the only person who is using my computer.  And I know that I have does not have a password.

    It is impossible for us to know here if your computer is infected. See if you can connect to the built-in Administrator account. In XP Home, start the computer in Mode safe. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. This will put you in the right menu. Navigate using your arrow up; the mouse does not work here. Once in safe mode, you will see the normally hidden administrator account. The default password is white.

    In XP Pro, you don't need to go to Safe Mode. In the home screen, do Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get the classic Windows logon box. Type in "Administrator" and the password that you assigned when you set up Windows.

    If you can get, go to control panel > user accounts and remove the password for your user account. Then scan your computer for viruses/malware by:

    http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

    If you reset the password of the account administrator integrated into house or have Pro and don't remember the password (or have Pro/Media Center and use the administrator for your daily work and so is the administrative account only on the system), NTpasswd allows you to change the password of the built-in to a white administrator account. Download the bootable CD .iso image file, burn with third-party burning software such as free ImgBurn , Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Start with the media that you have created. You need to maybe change the boot order in the BIOS or obtain a menu of boot command temporary with the pressure of a special key. NTpasswd will run. Follow the instructions carefully.

    http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/

    Then open a session with the password to blank (null) and make changes, scan, etc.

    Original title: problem of USB ports:

    I have a computer dell laptop inspiron d1420 provided with Windows vista and I have upgraded to Windows 7 ultimate, I noticed that when I plug in a USB mass storage, when I try to remove it, I don't get the safe delete the message and lately when I try to remove it, I keep getting the message He's busy and I can't remove it. I tried the same USB on another PC and I have no problem at all. I connected a printer, USB cable and wondows llok have not the driver or didn't install the printer, he left as a device not specified with the name of the printer, but I can't print. I tried with another PC that is also running Windows 7 ultimate and I have no problem, windows has installed the driver, because I used the same printer and the same cable. What is the problem with my USB 4 ports and how to fix?

    Hello

    When you get this message while trying to remove a USB, it's basically a lock for this USB device by some process running on the computer. If we know which process is this locking mechanism, we could also find which Service is associated with this problem in the computer.

    To check this, you can use a program called Process Explorer. You can download this program from the following link. Once downloaded, extract the contents of the zip downloaded to a folder on your desktop. Inside this folder, you will see a file by the name of procexp , which is the executable for Process Explorer. The download link is:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Sysinternals/bb896653

    First, plug the USB to one of the USB ports. Then, once you have the executable to Process Explorer, right-click on it and then click run as administrator. Please allow all guests UAC can occur. Once the Process Explorer is running, please follow these steps to search for processes using the USB at the moment:

    1. click on Searchand then click on manage to find them or DLL on the options menu at the top.

    2. then in the pop - up which will turn up next, type the drive letter for the USB drive connected to the computer (for example G: or H:) right now and click on Search.

    3. he should then display all instances of the process that is using this USB at the moment with the corresponding process ID (PID).

    Now, once you have the names of processes using the USB at this time, you can terminate them by clicking on them and then clicking on Manage close. Once this is done, you should be able to eject the USB safely.

    I would like to ask the names of processes lock the drive in your computer. This should give us an idea of what we might have to take the next.

    In addition, for the other issue that you mentioned, in which the computer does not automatically and correctly detects the printer when it is connected to the computer, I suggest you to check whether or not your computer Plug-and-Play service is set to automatic. Here's how you can do this:

    1. press the Windows and the R on your keyboard to get to the top of the run box.

    2. type Services.msc in the run box and press enter on the keyboard. Allow all UAC prompts that may coming up next.

    3. once it opens the window of the Services for you, scroll down to the Plug-and-Play service and double-click it.

    4. in the properties box that will come next, the Startup type should be set to Auto and the Status of the Service must be started. If this isn't the case, please put these values.

    5. click on apply then OK, close all windows in the computer and restart the computer once.

    Once these steps was performed, please check if the problem remains the same. We know the results.

    I hope that these steps raises you in the right direction in order to solve this problem. Don't answer if you still need assistance, we will be happy to be of assistance.
