• C:\Windows\Temp could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of this folder. __

  Someone knows how can I fix?  I can't download anything because of this error, I tried a system restore, but that did not work.  Any help would be great.

  Click Start, click computer.  Then click on your system (probably C:\) drive and when it opens, you should see a folder named Windows.  This is the folder I'm talking about.

  Is what program this?  I don't think I've seen a program that automatically and without offering alternatives downloads in C:\Windows\TEMP never - even in the days of DOS.  Are you sure that this program is safe and compatible with your system and the version of Vista?

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Mailings moved to end of folder Windows Mail personal up to corrupt the other items in this folder.

  I get a number of emails from members of the family all over the world.

  When I save items to a specific e-mail folder in Windows Mail, the email registered is replaced by the text of another email in this folder!
  I have tried to create a new folder and save the items but it still happens. Remittances that corrupt are text only and appear to be from a single source. This does not occur in other folders

  What could cause this do?

  A contributor send long e-mails without feedback of any trolley (habit). An email from long chain could damage the others?

• What is the ldiag file in Windows 7? How can I stop Windows write files in this folder?

  Can someone tell me what is the ldiag file in Windows 7?

  Somehow, Windows creates files and writes to this file. It keeps then write files until the entire hard drive is full. In other words, there is no place to save a restore point and no place to open Outlook, etc.

  When this has happened in the past, I had to contact the Microsoft response service and a level 2 technician to erase files. They said, the problem has been "fixed", but he continues to be...

  Do you know what "program" in Windows write files to this folder? I think it's a kind of diagnostic file. I tried the search "help" and the community and have not found anything to answer.

  Well, I hope that he is an expert in the community who can advise me on this. Thank you in advance.

  Thank you for your kindness in answering this question. I worked with technician level 2 Microsoft Office of response on the issue.

  I see that the files are part of the Lenovo system. Somehow, the Lenovo system analysis - triggered by something unknown to me--and wrote a text of 25 to 30 Gigabyte file!  I've identified it as a program of Lenovo, the write file and the program triggered by some unknown parameter. Then, I took the step to stop this program, Lenovo to run and then remove the text files.

  The steps you suggested are 'typical' first response / suggestions that you could do in that first level. However, in this case that they had nothing to do with the real problem.

  I often do a disk cleanup. This program is not clean these text files of the diagnosis of Lenovo.

  I start the computer in safe mode to diagnose problems. Yet once, just for the record, being in safe mode has nothing to do with the question of the Lenovo running program.

  No, there is no error message other than a message about 'disk full '. I ran a small program to see the size of the folder and was able to quickly identify the issue of file ldiag containing two text files, each about 25 gigabytes.

  Once again, thank you for your suggestions, but they were just basic, 'typical' suggestions and really had nothing to do with this specific problem. However, you have correctly identified the ldiag as being a file of Lenovo. Once that technology Tier 2 response office and found out that we were able to "solve" the problem.

  I'll keep the links you sent for reference.

  Thank you for taking the time to answer.

  This folder is located in the windows folder: $NtUninstallKB36574$
  It is not accessible.  I can't change the security settings.
  It is the remains of an outbreak of the virus.
  I saw that on 2 client computers this course last 6 months.
  So, how is it possible for an inaccessible folder to administrators?

  Ideas?

• Folder of Windows/Install Clean or update install Cleanup Utility

  I am running Windows XP Home Edition and my folder C:/Windows/Installer is 21 GB.  I googled how to clean safely this folder but all answers point to Installer Cleanup Utility.  I found this note on the site which provided the program download "Windows Installer Cleanup (MSICUU2.exe) utility that was previously referred to as in this article resolved a few installation problems but sometimes cause problems with other programs or components installed on the computer. For this reason, the tool has been removed from the Microsoft Download Center. "Is there a solution to update?

  Microsoft has stopped supporting Windows Installer Cleanup utility and removed from its server to download because, according to Microsoft "while the utility Windows Installer Cleanup fixed some installation issues, it sometimes damaged other components installed on the computer."

  I didn't know all the information about the "other components" were damaged or under what circumstances, but I guess someone, something had some time, fool you.

  However, you can still get the Installer Cleanup utility, including the utility msizap.exe (which is packed with the Installer Cleanup utility but is not the same thing), http://majorgeeks.com/Windows_Installer_CleanUp_Utility_d4459.html

  If you want to be ultra careful, get you the imagery of disk or disk cloning software to backup (which is A good thing to have in any case) and create a complete backup of the drive before using the program installation Cleanup Utility or msizap.  In this way, if anything goes wrong in fact, you can restore your system from backup.

• How to disable the "Fonts" folder in Windows Explorer?

  Hi all

  I have a problem to deactivate the fonts folder in Windows Explorer.
  My question:
  How to turn off or do not display "Fonts" in Windows Explorer my computer tab?

  I think it is unnecessary because it already exists in the Control Panel folder.

  If anyone can solve this, thanks in advance.

  Windows customizes the Fonts folder and offers a special folder view that allows you to hide variations, such as bold and italics. It also allows you to change the display settings of the file in a way that is specific to fonts. If you remove the read-only attributes and the Fonts folder system, these custom display settings not available. For folders that you have customized by using the tab, Customize dialog box Properties of the folder, the folder icon and other other customizations may be missing when you remove the read-only attribute.
