Remove key registry Compress old files clears ability to drive cleanup to compress old files?

Original title: compress old files registry key?

I have a question.  By removing the key from registry Compress old files, I erase the disk cleaning ability to compress old files?

These days, when hard drives are faster and space is less expensive than the good old days, it doesn't make too much sense to compress old files more.

If you leave the option is enabled and that you have 1 million files on your system, your disk cleanup will take a long time or stuck forever and nobody seems to know just what is the definition of an old file (how old is old?).

And if XP decided to compress critical system (for example, NTLDR) files, you will not start again in any mode until you uncompress the file (how are you going to do if your system will not start?).

And if XP compresses these old files and unzip them to use them, that will slow you down even more.

If you have already removed the key as this article suggests, I would leave it like that and your disk cleanup is going to be zoomine.

  • When running Disk Cleanup, it does not remove anything to "Compress Old Files'.

    When I run my disk cleanup, it does not remove anything to "Compress Old Files' during cleaning.» Why not? I also need more disk space to defragment and I deleted all the programs that I don't use, but is not yet give me enough disk space.

    Compress old files not removes all files, compress files that are rarely or seldom used.

    If you get the low disk space, less than 15-20% free space, then you need to collect as much space as possible. However, the amount you get will not be a solution, only a temporary fix - it that.

    To add or remove programs and Windows components in Control Panel, you can uninstall programs as your plue no use - if you have. Not to be far uninstalling programs, you do not recognize, many elements are required for other programs work properly.

    You can also check to see how much space is reserved for the restoration of the system; by default, many GBs are usually reserved. Also disable hibernation as the file created can be 2-3 GB, sometimes even more.

    You must also consider moving your files and folders on a removable media, such as DVDs or an external hard drive. Still a great flash drive with 4 + GB of space can help, and their prices are reasonable these days.

    In addition to Disk Cleaner, you can consider running CCleaner. This is a free program that will remove the unnecessary and temporary files temporary Internet files of the most popular and many browsers other caches that can be cleaned safely.

    Since you are using Windows XP, there is a setting in CCleaner to remove the uninstallers of patches; These are the Windows Update files you've downloaded and installed over time and are there if you ever want to uninstall the update. But you can save these CD/DVD and then remove them safely from your system to recover the space. If you have ever removed one of these, you may be able to get beyond 1 GB of space.

    If you decide to try it, by default, that almost everything in Windows Applications and is verified to be cleaned. You must first review the lists (they are compiled by what you have installed) and check/uncheck accordingly.

    Then click on analyze to see what will be removed (nothing is deleted when you click Analyze); When the scan is finished you can double-click on (or right click and select view detailed results) of the entries in the list to get more information.

    According to the detailed results, you can right click for options such as adding to the list of exclusions if you want the deleted item.

    Once that you are completely comfortable with your selections, you can click the run Cleaner button and then OK to put warn before vacuuming will run.

    CCleaner is also a registry cleaner that I don't recommend that you use - even if you have successfully run a registry cleaner in the past, it is quite possible that the next time will bring serious problems; they are not worth the risk...

    http://download.CNET.com/CCleaner/

    I know that this was not the miracle that you can have hoped, but personally recommended solution is a new, larger hard drive. In the case of desktop computers, an additional hard disk is useful for your personal files, especially for music, movies, photos and more.

    I hope this helps.

  • PC became slower after execution of 'Registry Easy' to remove unwanted registry files.

    I have windows 7. recently, I downloaded "Registry easy" to remove unwanted registry files to make my pc faster. registry cleaning has been a success, but I followed with "junk cleaner" functionality of this software. Now this function is supposed to be just to clean the "undesirable." After cleaning, most of the files are format .tmp. now I feel that my pc has become slower, I feel some files (perhaps .tmp) deleted wer of the Windows folder despite my de-selection of Windows files to ensure that they are not considered as spam before you run "clean of junk. also, I currently have a low disk space. RAM, etc work fine. so slows PC due to insufficient disk space or this cleaning? I will be grateful for your help.

    These registry cleaners are snake oil.  They do little or no good and can cause serious problems.  Regarding unwanted cleaners, there is a good one built into Windows 7, and we know it's safe.  If you click on start-> computer, then click on the C: drive and click Properties, you can then click the disk cleanup button and it will clean the junk files.

    Good luck.

  • Archives to remove RMAN will save the files on a backup server?

    Environment:
    Oracle 11.2.0.3 EE on Solaris 10.5

    I do NOT currently use an RMAN Repository (coming soon).

    I have a primary database, sending logs to a wait.

    My retention policy is defined as 'WINDOW of RECOVERY OF 8 DAYS'.

    Question: RMAN will remove the log archiving of files on the standby server, after that they become obsolete based on the retention policy or I have to delete manually via command o/s?

    The fact that I do NOT use an RMAN Repository at the time where it makes a difference?

    Cannot find the answer in the documentation.

    Thank you very much!!

    -gary

    Hello again Gary;

    Sorry for the delay.

    Why did you suggested better?

    No, it's not better, but I'd rather manage the archives. This method works, period.

    This fact (running a backup every 4 hours) makes my irrelevant archivelog deletion policy?

    # Policy is important.

    Have the principal value:

    CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON STANDBY
    

    But the 'NONE' value on standby.

    The worst thing that can happen is THAT RMAN will bark when you try to delete something. (it's a good thing)

    How we prevent the backup process archive backup of a file to archive log before it is shipped to the waiting?

    Should be a non-issue, the archive does not move, it AGAIN is transported and applied. To SQL monitor time (Transport and apply)

  • Removal of damaged and unreadable files

    After recovering from a failure of the HD, restoration has added a few corrupted files. I can't remove them and have used all of the methods suggested, I could find (for example, chkdsk, disk cleaner, unlocker, safemode, Hiren BootCD)? Apparently the failed drive content/caused some files to become corrupt were then copied to the backup file and more later restored corrupted.

    I replaced the defective drive and then restored from a backup, Acronis. The Documents and Settings folder found \temp so I could copy the files needed for new Documents and Settings. Everything seemed to have worked fine until I tried to remove the Documents and Settings is no longer necessary to \temp. Now, I have a number of different files in \temp which cannot be deleted. Error when I try to remove one of the offending files is "cannot delete [filename]: the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable."

    Can someone suggest another method to clean up this mess short of reformatting the new drive and reinstall again? TIA.

    Hello

    ·         Do you have an error message when you run the disk check?

    I suggest to run the check disk in safe mode and check if it helps.

    WARNING: When Chkdsk detects problems with the file system and tries to repair the damage, data loss may occur. Microsoft does not recommend running Chkdsk with the /f command-line switch unless you have a full backup of your hard drive.

    Attempt to repair the damaged file, the folder or the index system using check diskfile. To do this, follow these steps:

    (a) click Startand then click run.

    (b) in the Open box, type chkdsk /f :, where is the letter of the drive on which the file is damaged, the folder or the file system index exists.

    (c) click Yes to schedule disk check when the computer is restarted.

    (d) restart the computer and let the disk check run and check.

    NOTE: If the hard disk is large, Chkdsk may take several minutes to several hours to complete.

    I have Windows XP Home Edition Cd. But I lost the product key. My old computer is ded. How do I install it in a new computer.

    If your XP is preinstalled on your old computer, it is an OEM installation and cannot be moved to the new.

    If you bought a copy retail full XP, then your key should be in the case of CD holding the disc.

    If you have lost you don't have a chance and will need to purchase a new license for Windows. MS sells more than XP, and in stores, stocks are running out. eBay (and other sites) lists the number of available items - which most is a counterfeit.

    You should consider buying a newer OS, assuming that your hardware is compatible.
