Remove Windows games
original title: file deleted games
Hi all
My roommate has deleted the file of our shared computer games
Is it possible to recover this file, or find somewhere online.
The games file is one that comes with a new computer, the usual
FreeCell, Solataire, hearts, etc.
All suggestions and comments appreciated
Hello marvin817,
All you need to do in order to place your games back is follow the directions on the Turn Windows features On or Off.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-Windows-features-on-or-off
Once you are in Windows features:
If there is a check mark next to games, uncheck the box and click OK. It will go through the process of uninstallation of the games.
Once it has completed this step (or if no tick in the box), return to the Windows features, place a check in the box of games and click OK.
Once this done, your games should be put back.
Hope this helps

SuperAntiSpyware guard remove Windows games at startup
Games on the Internet and Antispyware
I use SuperAntiSpyware which seems to work. One question was a false positive for games Internet XP so remove them from the system. They solved the problem, but the games continue to be deleted on reboot. Someone has a answer how to solve this problem. I add the dos games using the disk pack XP S2 and they work fine until I have shut down the computer. I'm afraid that something is missing, which leads to problems on the road. I have not noticed anything so far...
Hello
I suggest you to follow these steps and check if that helps:
Method 1:
Disable temporarily the SuperAntiSpyware, then check if the same problem occurs. . Make sure that you enable security software back once the diagnosis is made to prevent the computer from virus attacks.
Method 2:
Try to remove the games completely and then add the games and check that if it helps, here is the link:

Is there a reason to delete the partition by using the disk utility? If you are not using the steps described in Boot Camp: Remove Windows from your Mac, you will see this problem.
Run disk utility, reformat disk0s4 as a FAT32 partition and run the wizard of BC and click delete/restore.

In all the hearts of Windows games, it seems that they do not know the rules. The Queen of Spades is just like a heart in the real rules. I don't have to play the Queen. If hearts have been broken, and all I have left is some hearts and the Queen of Spades, I can play a weak heart rather than being forced to play the Queen. The windows game apparently does not know this rule.
original title: rules of heartsHello
Actually if the Queen of Spades breaks hearts and cannot therefore be considered a heart
is optional. The basic rule is that the Queen of Spades does not break hearts and must be conducted
If a player has the Queen of spades and still hearts if hearts have been broken.My preferences are the Queen of Spades or a heart can be played on the 1st round Sub in the Clubs.
And the Queen of Spades does not break the hearts and must be conducted if only he and hearts are
left in the hands and hearts have not been broken. Those who make for much more difficult game
MY HUMBLE OPINION.Hearts

How can I remove windows box office and upcoming facebook in the start menu
I moved your question answers feedback to Windows desktop and personalization areas.
You care to offer up what version of Windows, you are talking about but if it's Windows 7, I would right-click on the offending list and either:
- Remove from this list , is that the entry is in the most recent lower part / area most often used.
- Delete the Start Menu if the entry is pinned in the Start Menu (above the most recent / most often used).
