  Hello

  1 are you facing any problem with the operating system?
  2 have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

  Try the next method and check if it helps.

  Method 1:

  
  Run Microsoft Safety scanner and check if there are any threats found.
  
  Microsoft Safety Scanner: http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
  
  Note: the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. During these 10 days, it will remove all the files infected by the virus and records. I suggest you create a backup of your data, and then install Microsoft Safety Scanner.

  I have Acrobat professional 9. I moved it to my new computer Windows 10. Whenever I have printed on a home printer it ask again me if I want to improve and I only have 12 days to do it. How can I get rid of him. I have a valid license. What is the cost and benefits, the upgrade to Acrobat 9 professional to the latest version (I think it's X)

  No, X is not the last. In fact, X, as 9 is now unsupported. After X XI, after that XI was DC. DC is the current version. No upgrade price from 9 more, unfortunately. You can subscribe to DC, and this is recommended because it gets new features faster and includes future updates (probably will be necessary as Microsoft moves to Windows 10 edition when they feel like it, instead of waiting for Windows 11/12 etc..)

• Desktop Explorer folder appears on my desktop in Windows 7. How can I get rid of him?

  I have a "Desktop browser" folder on my desktop on my system (64-bit) Windows 7 Professional.  I don't remember whether there when I installed the operating system.  I can't delete the file or open it.  What is this and how do I get rid of him?  I guess it's a folder only because its icon appears as my 'Work' folder on my desktop.

  Thank you for your help.

  There is no part of Windows 7 called "Explorer desktop.  Something you have installed perhaps put it there.

  Left icon when you click on the desktop, and then press the F5 key to refresh?

  The icon seems to have 'life' - i.e., anything or change the cursor when you go over it or click it?  It is not perhaps part of the wallpaper you are using is it?

• I always get a migwiz Windows window at startup. How can I get rid of him?

  Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  Migwiz belongs to the Windows Easy Transfer program. If you have used (or something like the easy transfer Belkin software), uninstall it if you are done with it. Once you have made the transfer you have no more. If you have already uninstalled the program, and then follow the instructions of MVP Ramesh on the link below. Substitute 'Folder Dell' information for your own.
