• No matter what file/program I open and work will appear later in the trash & Windows create a lot of restore points.

  Original title: Windows XP: recycle bin and estore points.

  After the last formatting the computer and installation of Windows XP:
  (1) any file/program I opened and work with / appears later in the trash even if I did not remove it. The file or the program remains in its original folder and nothing happens to her, I can work with him when I want.
  (2) Windows creates so many "restore points" that once a month I have to delete "all except the last" in order to have my program anti-virus (PC-Tools) are working properly.  Is there a cure for this?

  You did the right thing by turning SR off on your external drive.  See http://bertk.mvps.org/html/tips.html#11

  There is no need to have the system restore check a partition which contains only data files.  Http://bertk.mvps.org/html/description.html (this is emphasis added)

  About the system restore

  • System Restore monitors changes to the system and saves the State of the system as a restore point. If a system problem occurs following a change of system, the user can return the system to a previous state by using a restore point data.
    Applications and the system can create restore points when changes made to the system occur. System Restore also creates checkpoints every 24 hours of absolute time. In addition, users can create manual restore at all time points.
  • System Restore does not restore user data or documents, so it will not cause users to lose their files, email, browsing history or Favorites. System Restore is also provided to users in safe mode, making it easier for them to reclaim their computers before that happens the problems. Note: a system of Safe Mode or restore the command prompt a cancellation restore point will NOT created!

  The monitoring system

  • System Restore monitors and restores a set of file system and application, the States of these files before the change of the archiving system. System Restore also records a snapshot of the registry (Note: some current registry values will persist) and some dynamic system files. When the System Restore detects that the user is not actively using the computer, (idle time) he compresses the registry and copies of any file made.
  • System Restore requires a minimum of 200 MB of free disk space on the system drive during the installation. When the amount of falls of free space on the disc below 50 MB on ANY monitored drive, System Restore goes into sleep mode and continues to create restore points. All restore points are deleted at that time. System Restore reactivates and resumes create restore points from 200 MB of free disk space on the system drive.
  • Files that are monitored or excluded from the monitoring are specified in the file % windir%\system32\restore\Filelist.xml. For more information, see Monitoring of file Extensions.

• Why can't open my windows files to message asking you what program to open it with XP

• Windows cannot find the program to open the exe file

  I did the windows repair option by restarting then pressed f8 to get to come repair options. I did it to try to remove a number of problems of virus on my laptop. It seems that it has solved the problem, but now when I try to access one of my desktop icon shortcuts it indicates that windows cannot find the program to open the exe file. She does it with every shortcut. I can access the location of the program and then select open with and it will be opened in this way, but there is not and I have to select each time.

• When the operating system starts, a window opens asking me to "choose the program you want to open this file: file: rundll32.exe.".

  original title: 'Open with' problem...

  My office was attacked by malware. I have run virus scan and all updates that were available. When the operating system starts, a window opens asking me to "choose the program you want to open this file: file: rundll32.exe.". There are recommended programs and other programs, but I'm fairly certain that none of them are correct. Can anyone help direct me in the right direction to solving this problem?

  Hello

  Just in case there are persistent pieces of malware here is the method of complete elimination.
  .exe question difficulty in the next message.

  Try Mode safe mode with networking - repeatedly, press F8 that you start.

  The best two methods allow scanners to run and/or AV.exe out of the way or removing.

  1.
  CTRL SHIFT ESC - task manager OR right click on the taskbar - task manager

  Process tab - complete the process on AV. EXE and continue with the uninstall Guide.

  If necessary use start - computer or Windows Explorer to navigate to

  C:\Program Malwarebytes Anti - Malware\mbam.exe or where it is installed - if
  necessary right click on the shortcut of Malwarebytes - Properties - tab - target line to see where it
  is installed.

  Right-click on it and rename it to ZZMbam.COM (or something different than now) and
  Double-click it, and then run it like this. You can rename it back later. Do the same with
  other programs according to the needs. Use this method to others as needed - NOT assume all
  a program deletes all or that it is no other malicious software.

  ---------------------------------------------------

  2.
  Another method is to use them:

  Use Process Explorer to "Suspend" the process will not stop

  Then use AutoRuns to delete the malicious program startup items.

  Now use UnLocker to delete the files in the malware.

• Why Windows asking me what program to open a JNLP file with after you have installed Java?

  I'm having a problem with a Web site that uses the Java Web Starter program to launch an application.

  I use Windows 7 Professional 64 - bit and IE9. I also tried this on 10 IE and Chrome and had the same problem. I am running update of Java 7 21, which, at the time of this writing, is the latest version of Java available. I only have this problem on a computer.

  When I go on the Web site, a window wonder if I want to open, save, or cancel a file called Meeting.JNLP. If I open it, he asks me to choose a program to open it with. When I navigate to javaws.exe in the Java folder in program files, I have highlighted, click Open, and then I went back to the "Choose a program" screen, but the Starter Web Java program does not appear as a choice. I can choose other Java executables from the same folder, and they appear in her choose a program window, but not the Starter Web Java program.

  I can actually force the application to start if I do a "save under" on this original popup, then go to a command prompt and use javaws.exe , and in fact, it will launch the application. However, I need to function normally, directly from the Web site.

  I tried to reinstall Java 5 or 6 times. Each post on the forum I find dealing with these issues of file association told me to use the file Association in the Control Panel, which is exactly what does not work. It seems that the installer is all simply not able to associate the program Java Web Starter of JNLPs. is it possible I can force a new association to file through the command line or the registry?

  Thank you!

  Thanks Jessen, earlier this morning, I found the assoc and ftype commands and managed to force the association in this way. I did this from an elevated command prompt:

  ftype JNLPFile = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\javaws.exe" '%1 '.

  .Jnlp Assoc = JNLPFile

  And that the file is associated. Thank you for your response.
