• Uninstallers often times not clean up after themselves, entered of registry, empty program files, the files are left behind, why?

  I've always wondered why Microsoft allows programs to leave traces of themselves behind and rarely will a program and its installer actually withdraw completely from a system, now I mean not only the obvious traces of itself not always their required files, settings etc registered.

  If a user chooses to remove a program, it must be completely removed from the system without either traces left behind, if I chose to keep the previous settings an applications on my system which is a little different, rarely does the user choose this during a move.

  So my main question on what this issue is, what is up? Why it got thrown into Vista, will be Windows 7 may take over in this area.

  Artfuldodga,

  Thus, as said by Brent, Microsoft does'nt write UN-Installer. As such, it is really the companies that write the uninstall programs you should have problems with, it is to them to write a program to withdraw completely or not. MCP. MCDST. LVL 80

  No problem. I think that the warning means that you will not be able to use Undo to bring back the pictures and it will have to do it manually. There is no risk of corruption.

• moved to store data, files left behind?

  I closed one of my virtual methods and moved the data store to another location.

  Everything seems fine except he seems to have left behind following the previous location on the SAN.

  "VMware-VMvisor-Installer - 5.0.0 - 469512.x86_64.iso" and a couple of .png files.

  Can someone tell me what it is, it is necessary, "remove disc"?  Try to do a clean and rearrange some of our virtual methods.

  Thanks, Tandrist

  As previously mentioned files PNG would be the screenshot taken by HA before the VM is restarted, you can check if necessary and sound is safe to delete the files

  Start / Workstation... and right click on the drive
  Letter it displays the directory for this drive...
  the CD? If_Yes_ what are the files names which

• After Windows 7 upgrade - duplicate files, folders, and applications

  I don't know if this is the right place for this question. After the upgrade to Windows 7 from Windows Vista, I had a lot more on my computer that I did before. I did an inventory of what's on my computer and found copies of almost everything I had 2-3. Is my only recourse now go through all the files, folders and applications and delete the extras? It is a mammoth task since I have almost 1 million files (such as indidcated by my most recent scan). I did this or he was depending on the upgrade to Windows 7?

  Leave me a comment aside: I've been using Windows since Windows 95, and whenever I go through an upgrade, need me 2 months to get my computer to where I could simply use it instead of having to fix it and fix it and fix it. Is this '' fun '' reserved for me alone, or others have the same experience?

  Never read your problem of duplicates of files is also system files or simply your personal files?
  If it's that much of a hassle tried to do a clean install?

  There are many duplicate files in the Windows.old folder on your C: drive?

  Usually, but not always, after I installed Windows 7, you'll have a Windows.old folder on your C: drive that contains data from the previous installation of Windows. Open Windows Explorer and under 'Computer' click the C: drive - if the Windows.old folder is on your hard drive, it will contain all of your files to the Windows system, and it can be removed if you do not need to free up space on your hard drive.

  Make sure that you can see the Windows.old folder:
  1. click on start, type: hidden
  2. click on 'display the hidden files and folders '.
  3. Click to select "show the hidden files and folders".
  4 uncheck the following three points:
  Hide empty drives
  Hide extensions of known file types
  Hide protected operating system files
  5. click on OK
  (Note: after you are done go back and double check "Hide protected operating system files.") If you want to change the other return parameters are.)

  How can I remove the Windows.old folder?
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/how-do-I-remove-the-Windows-old-folder

  If the Windows.old folder does not remove:
  In Windows Explorer, you should see a folder called Windows.old on your C: drive. That contains all of your files from your previous installation. If you need all the files, you can copy them to another folder and then delete Windows.old. If you do not need anything in the folder, it is safe to delete.

• Windows XP SP3: Unable to start, System Restore cannot drag and drop ALL the files/folders on the desktop and applications, many unable to start, services cannot search, cannot copy or transfer the any files folders...

  After a recent power outage, my system has restarted with a weird and very common Windows problems range. The system boots fine, all my personal files/folders/apps are intact, have suddenly stopped almost all functions of applications, but many crucial functions of the Windows kernel. Everything seems to point to several Windows Services are unable to start (administrative tools on the start menu). I am running Win XP SP3 and that he was going to upgrade to Windows 7, but I wanted to backup everything in advance. As I have 29 000 hours on my C: drive and a lot of time invested in my system, files, and applications, I am extremely reluctant to risk losing my files and applications by performing any type of reinstalling Windows. Strangely, begin to almost all my apps and all my files are accessible for the most part, but I've lost the ability to drag and drop files, folders or items in a list within the applications COMPLETELY. I can't copy or paste anything, can't move the desktop icons (although I can create new files and folders). So at the moment I can't save anything or even a single file transfer to a hard drive on another storage medium. Immediate reaction: try safe mode and try the system restore safe mode has the same problems (likely due to the large number of system services that inexplicably refuses to start) and the system restore says an error window saying "system restore is not able to protect your computer at this time. try restoring the system running and restart again", which of course NEVER changes. It's the equivalent of getting a tire on your car in the middle of nowhere to find the spare tire flat and the missing Jack. I have used to be fanatical about the definition of the regular restore points, but now can not access them. I have backups of most of my personal files, but over years have lost most of the original installation CD for many of my applications (there are over 100 applications on my system) and I don't want to lose the file associations and architecture of directory tree that it took my so long to implement. I started with Win XP media center edition of first (circa 2004 or almost) and have migrated twice more of 3 hard disks and 2 computers. All this time (5 years of daily use), I have NEVER known so many malfunctions for as many Windows basic and vital functions at the same time. I tried a lot of 3rd party "windows fix - it / registry repair" apps, all have no effect. Everything I can speculate is there was some serious damage to the registry and have no idea how/why so many Services refuse to start. In MMC, more than half of the services actually start and run, the rest all give the error message "the service or dependencies is not start (error 1068).» In addition, very oddly, no. APPS or windows appear in the toolbar AT ALL, but the Quick Launch toolbar works very well, just like the tray button and start tasks (?! )!). If I reduce a window, it "disappears" (Nothing on the task bar), but I can restore it using the alt - tab keyboard shortcut to switch apps, so all applications/windows appear on the list of the Task Manager. A few apps is paralyzed bad, as the player windows media, itunes, etc. (I guess because the service windows audio can not not start), some won't start at all, but 90% of them work fine, except to try to copy or back up all files. I can create new files, however. I'm desperate to find a solution to repair XP3 Win WITHOUT losing my installed applications and files, before I try and switch to WIndows 7. Any help/suggestions/links/advice would be much appreciated. I'm an experienced user, but I've never met so many malfunctions based on the OS at a time. I, however, very painfully learned (years before that my system so complex) it's been almost a re-installation of Windows guarantees to lose my installed apps and files, the directory tree architecture associations.

  Help, please!

  I'll be honest with you - your message is so difficult to read that I don't bother to go through all that. Next time consider using white space, ball or points numbered, etc. to make your message more readable. I stopped reading after your first sentence and only scanned the rest quickly. I do not mean to hurt your feelings; just trying to help you get targeted answers you need for the future.

  The blackout has corrupted your Windows installation. Back up your data now. Since you have problems so much, it would be probably best is to remove the hard drive, put it in a USB drive enclosure and attach it to another computer to copy the data OR start the target with Linux Livecd such as Knoppix system and copy the data to an external hard drive. IOW, do not use the damaged windows to try to get your data.

  You can try a repair that will leave your programs and facility data intact, but with this widespread bribery, it is unlikely to work. However, it takes only a few minutes and is so worth a try. If the repair facility does not work there is nothing to do, but a clean install. And Yes, it will mean that over again.

  Consider buying a UPS to help prevent future damage by power outages. For a single computer, you should look for one in the area of $60 to 80. A more expensive UPS is not necessary. Another good disaster recovery strategy is to buy an external hard drive and Acronis True Image. You can image your system (and can make an incremental backup image so that your image is still current). You can apply your image and be back running that you were in relatively few minutes after a hard drive or Windows to fail.

  It is always sensible in this situation to achieve a malware check

  Start the computer in safe mode with network and download and install Malwarebytes (free version for individuals only), updated definitions and run in safe mode. Disable other security software while you do the analyses.

  Download and run SuperAntiSpyware (Free Edition)

• How to restore missing files/folders in XP?

  He has a record of missing files in Windows. I have the name of the file, it would be necessary to get help. Start a message which says fatal error Reg Open Key E.g. After closing this area that another pops up that says failed to load. I know this file folders to be restored. I need to know how to do this.

  It's a little different.

  $NtUninstallKB936357-v2$ looks like a legitimate file.  At least the name is that of an uninstall file for a Windows update that applies only to some Intel microprocessors.  It does not seem likely that this error is indicative of something very wrong.

  Please identify your computer's processor.  If you are unsure, do a right-click on desktop and select Properties.  Your CPU is displayed at the bottom of the general tab.

  What a pity that you spent part of your fund limited on Tune Up Utilities 2011, because I think that the use of some of its tools - particularly its "cleaner" register - could be responsible for the error you see.

  If you provide the full error message, including everything that appears in the title bar of the window shows the error message you will probably be able to solve this problem quite easily.

  FYI, you don't need WinRAR to be able to use the Autoruns.  You should be able to open zip files with the native Windows XP interface if you right-click and select "Extract all."  If you click on 'Execute Autoexec now from Live.Sysinternals.com' you can download the unzipped exe file or run it under tension (if you use Internet Explorer; Firefox won't let you turn it this way).
