You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...
When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the content of the system
memory for the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys
file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you
do not use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space that Windows
uses the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:
-Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings,
Control Panel, then click on Power Options).
-Select the Hibernate tab, clear the checkbox 'Activate the hibernation', then
Click OK; Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under the
"Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the
file Hiberfil.sys.
-Windows will remove the "Hibernate" option of the power management
tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.
You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...
1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
2. click on the System Restore tab.
3. Select one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on
the button "settings".
4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest you switch
the cursor until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
5. click on OK. Then click OK again.
You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...
Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, it stores a
size between 64 MB and 128 MB...
-Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
-Select TOOLS-> Internet Options.
-On the general tab in the 'Temporary Internet files' section, carry out the
Next:
-Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
-Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use:" to
something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (It may be much more right
now.)
-Click OK.
-Click on 'Delete files', then select 'delete all offline content '.
(the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, this may take 2-10
minutes or more.)
-Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet
Solution Explorer.

Two points:
1. it is unlikely that your current installation would work if
you have changed motherboards. You need to reinstall itself.2 but you cannot use your current copy of Windows if you change
motherboards, not even if reinstall you it cleanly. The largest
disadvantage of an OEM version, is that its license it binds permanently
the first computer, it is installed on and Microsoft believes that
If you change the motherboards, another computer. It can never
legally be moved to another computer, sold or transferred (except with)
the original computer). If the computer dies or is stolen, your
license dies with him.Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP

SOMEHOW DELETED THE EXE FILE
Have you looked in your Recycle Bin to see if the deleted files are still there? If they are still there, you can click right restore these and select. You can also try Recuva to try to recover deleted files. It's free.

I can see the file in the my document directory, but when I try to remove it I get a message saying that it cannot find. Sometimes, I get error 0 x 80070091. No idea how to solve this problem?
I finally got rid of it by reaching the file then delete the archived file. When archiving, you must select the option (delete files after archiving).

Why isn't suddenly deleted files is no longer testify in Trash like they used to do
This morning I deleted an e-mail and then realized I needed some information from it. I naturally expect to end up in the trash, as always, but when I open the trash can none of my deleted files are there. I don't have a "blank out" together. I use Thunderbird 31.4, on Windows 7 Professional. I rebooted both Thunderbird and Windows, to no avail. I have not changed my account settings or options. This has not happened before. Any help would be welcome.
Thank you for all your efforts. As I said, I'm afraid the first link leads to an element in Swedish (I think), which was just a single line and not recognizable as something I knew. Your second link leads to an article in English (thanks) and has shown a page of "settings". I put no parameters of "Empty on exit", or something similar, which could have been what you were suggesting that I look at.
Since then, as announced, I did an uninstall and reinstall and now all is well. I can only assume that Thunderbird somehow became corrupted. Otherwise, it's a mystery. Still a bit of an annoyance if, as I do not do not know why things happen.
Thank you once again.

Cannot delete files from one account
I tried to empty all files within the former name of email, and then delete the main folder and it will not.

You may need to delete the account. It's more than one.

How to retrieve deleted files from sony cyber shot camera without having to download any software
I accidentally deleted my pictures of sony cyber shot camera... I want to restore their back, it's my favorite holiday photos, how to get hide them without downloading any software, can help anyone
Windows and MacOS don't come with the ability to restore deleted files. If you want to restore deleted files, you need to suppliment your computer with software that can do this. To get this kind of software on your computer, the simplest method is to download it. If you don't want to download it, perhaps you could ask a friend to download it for you and give it to you on a flash drive.
