My parents bought a laptop from a friend, and recently my father ran an antivirus program that came with multiple files in a folder that has been created by this friend. When you try to delete the folder a box appears that says "it is a Windows system folder and is required for Windows work.» It cannot be deleted. "But all the folders inside are empty and of no use to us. Help?
The standard answer to questions that begin with «I bought a used computer...» "is you can do a clean install of Windows, because you know not what could be hiding somewhere in the computer. In this case, it seems as if he is infected with something.
Legally, the seller was required to give you a way to do this reinstall, but in the vast majority of the private sales of used computers, this requirement is simply ignored.
If it's a laptop to 'mark' (e.g., Dell, HP, IBM/Lenovo) there may be a hidden partition on the hard drive that can be used to restore the computer to its "fresh from the factory" State. Of course, this will remove all applications that the previous owner had installed after he or she has bought new, but you should still seriously to consider making such a restore, if the mechanism is available.
What is the name and the version of the antivirus application that has detected the wrong files?
What are the names of the files?
What is the name of the folder that cannot be deleted?
Are you logged on as a user with the rights "computer administrator" when you try to delete it?Assuming that you can not or will not do a clean install of Windows, I suggest the following (do not run scans at the same time, each analysis may take some time, depending on the number of files on the computer):
Connect as a user with the privileges "computer administrator" and do a full scan with each of the following:

Hi, I have just reset my Firefox and he lost ALL the TABS at the top. Bookmarks, history, leadership, Edit and Options tabs are GONE. I don't know that I named all right, but they ARE GONE. Please tell me how to get back them. Thanks, Chris
Edit: removed your email address from the public view, since the only thing that will attract are spambots. you will be notified by email whenever someone replies to the thread, because of a bug in the forum unfortunately with a slight delay. (philipp)
The toolbars are still on display in your browser?
If you still have the address bar, right click on any part that is not a text box or the icon, or if you do not like that of any space right click on the three horizontal lines on the right side of the address bar window. This should show some options, click on 'Menu Bar' and the tabs you are missing should appear.
As a side note, usually if these options are missing, your icon of firefox in the upper left corner of the window should look different (being a rectangular button itself as opposed to an icon), and the 'file', 'Edition', 'Bookmarks', etc., are found after clicking on this button.
Hope that helps.

All of a sudden my pictures folders are now all show in Windows Media Player and I can't open each photo in full screen, but only in the video display mode. When I go to my pictures and choose view as thumbnails, that's fine, but when I click on the individual photo, it shows on the screen no video not in mode full screen and I can't move the photo to the photo without closing the video screen. How can I get my pictures on Windows Media Player?
This problem has now been resolved. I went in my computer > tools > Folder Options > file Type, select the type of file and clicked on advanced then > change and changed back to Windows Picture and Fax Viewer in Windows Media Player. I had the idea of a response posted on this forum about a different issue, but who pointed me in the right direction.

I have a lot of folders and files in C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution (about 500 + MB), and I find the articles which the ScanFile subfolder indicate that this is due to a virus or other malicious threats. Please can anyone provide some comments regarding that this folder is intended to do.
Thank you
Neal
Hello
The software in Windows XP Distribution folder is a system folder used to store the updates configuration information and other programs. Most of the time, you can delete the contents of the folder to free up disk space.
The folder contains information and files needed for the installation of system updates and downloaded the software. These files are used often only once, when the program or the update in question is first installed. The folder may cause problems with the installation of the program if the data becomes damaged or corrupted.
Analysis file subfolder contains the scanned images of the documents, pictures, etc. Whenever you scan, a new folder is created and the files that are scanned, the images are stored in this folder. You can save the images that are present in this folder and then remove it from the system.
