  Remove temporary files from the local disk c/documents and settings/user/localsettings/temp name

  By definition, this folder should contain only the elements you don't need.  If I understand correctly, this temporary folder is a place where temporary files are stored during program facilities and the facilities.  However, I have seen references other sites to help saying some programs can store folders and files.

  I do my own temporary file elsewhere, name it accordingly and move all the files in the temp folder to the new folder. Use your computer normally for a while, and if nothing complains about missing files, you have a good indication that none of the moved files are important and should be safe to delete.

• How to redirect the user account to the correct folder in Documents and Settings?

  Under XP.  One of the user accounts seems to have been directed to the wrong user folder (the one that has been somehow created) in Documents and Settings.  Start menu, My Documents, etc are now empty, but they used to be OK.  The (desired) exact content is always in a folder user, but it is apparently not accessed.  I looked and looked and can't find how to reset the pointer (for example, identify the correct folder for that user).  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

• Deliver the profile of the user - My Documents folder moved to C:\Documents and Settings\TEMP. I can't view or access this folder to copy My Documents back. Help?

  XP Home SP3 on my laptop (no not in network - independent).

  After an Adobe Reader 10 X installed, there is a reboot, and when I logged in the profile that appeared was not mine - it was as if it was a new installation. I looked for my personal documents under My Documents and did not find them. So, I looked for them on the C: drive, found (no not noted where), and copied My Documents to what seemed like the name /my Documents /. After that, I could access my documents by clicking Start-My Documents online. I did another reboot. Now, after login, my old profile is displayed, and the My Documents folder is empty except for the value by default my pictures, my music, my videos, and favorite - and these are all basically empty.

  I then ran a program Search and Recover to find my documents - they were found under C:\Documents and Settings\TEMP\. Unfortunately, I can't seem to see that to explore (I have it configured to display the hidden files and folders). Is it possible to go to this folder and the moving my Documents back to my profile?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You can view these methods:

• With Windows XP SP3: How to find the temporary Internet files in C:\Documents and Settings of the user?

  While making a sweep of the AV, I see the files under analysis I want to remove it from my computer. All I can remember for the location of the files is C:\Documents and Settings of the user... I guess that the question is what will be called as temporary Internet files (under Windows 95). What should I do to access the folder where the files are stored?

  Tools / folder options. Discover tab show hidden and protected system files

  Use ccleaner do... Install, then run it.

• OK to delete the files that are: C:/Documents and Settings/rjhirsch (me) / Local Settings/Application Data / identities / {31391EF3-B3AC-4F12-94D8-DC2DA45E9526} / Microsoft/Outlook Express

  Good afternoon:

  Have recently been spotted by Windows XP Pro disk space on my C drive is low.  I reinstalled all the obvious large files (e.g., photos) on an external hard drive.  I have drilled down into individual files on the C drive to ensure other potential consumers of space. Found the folder that can be the source.

  Last year, I converted from Outlook Express (OE) for Outlook.  At this point, I rode on my e-mail and the e-mail folders in Outlook.

  I found a file in the following location that seems to contain the OE files.  I would like to know if the removal of these files of OE (~8.5 GB) impact my Outlook folder/mail e-mail before I remove them.

  The location is: C:/Documents and Settings/rjhirsch (me) / Local Settings/Application Data / identities / {31391EF3-B3AC-4F12-94D8-DC2DA45E9526} / Microsoft/Outlook Express.

  The folder contains about 8.5 GB of e-mail to OE folders more of them are dated July/August 2010.

  It is safe to assume that when I converted originally these OE e-mail/folders over to Outlook - that Outlook has caught up - and it's OK to delete these files?

  Thanks for your help.

  Cheers.

  Rick

  If you do not use OE, then Yes. It will not affect Outlook at all. Open the database messages OE, the folder that you have described, and remove all the dbx files. If you need OE once again, when you open OE, it creates new files dbx for all default folders such as Inbox, sent, etc. items.

  Hi Jason,

  1. to confirm, do you use the Windows XP operating system?

  2. do you get an error message? If Yes, what is the full error message?

  It seems that we have to clean the unnecessary files and check if the drive works properly or not.

  I suggest you perform the steps.

  Method 1: Use the Disk Cleanup tool and check if that helps you.

  See also:

  How to automate the disk cleanup tool in Windows XP

  Rerun defragment and check.

  Method 2:

  Alternatively, you can scan the hard disk for errors. You may need to run the scan several times and make sure that the disc is clean.

  Reference:

  How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP

  Chkdsk

  You can opt chkdsk/r

  Note: He performs a comprehensive check, even if the drive is not marked for chkdsk to run. This parameter is none of the changes on the disk.

  Note: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.

  Once you have finished the cleaning disc and chkdsk, you can perform defragment to see if it solved the problem.

  Hope this information helps. Response with status so that we can help you.

• access to documents and settings in windows 7

  I'm having a problem of password for download.  Download provider, HDTracks, advises as last resort to remove it is a temporary file in Documents and Settings.  My problem is with windows 7, I can't open this file with a message "access denied."  This is the first windows system, I used in which takes place this denial. No matter if this access will eliminate my problem, I want to know how I regain control of my system.  I am the administrator.

  "Documents and Settings" is not a file in the usual sense of the term - it is a junction point.

  Junction Points are just "pointers" - they are there only to allow software to use the new structure of file of Windows Vista/7.

  There are others.

  Here is a table of all the points of junction and the actual files they point out:

  C:\Documents and Settings - C:\Users\{user name} \Documents
  Application Data - C:\Users\{user name} \AppData\Roaming
  Cookies - name C:\Users\{user} \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies
  History - name C:\Users\{user} \AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\History
  Locale - name C:\Users\{user} \AppData\Local
  NetHood - C:\Users\{user name} \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Network shortcuts
  Print neighborhood - C:\Users\{user name} \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Printer shortcuts
  {Recent - name C:\Users\{user} \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent
  SendTo - name C:\Users\{user} \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo
  Start Menu - C:\Users\{user name} \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu
  Models - C:\Users\{user name} \AppData\Roaming
  Temporary Internet files - C:\Users\{user name} \AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files

  There is nothing that you can use in these files, even if you access them, so there is no point in even trying.

  Here is more information about junction points:

• How can I change the name of the computer, C; \Documents and Settings\Margie\MyDocuments had to leave "Margie" or rename

  Using Windows XP - how to change the name on the computer.  Am not able to remove/change the word "Margie":

  C:\Documents and Settings\MARGIE\My recemment\...

  Used Microsoft Help but I am not able to locate where this comes in the settings.   We are on a network (without domain).

  Can you please help.

  Concerning

  Helen

  "MARGIE" in "C:\Documents and Settings\MARGIE\... is not a"computer name", it's a user"Profile name".  Once a user is created and its associated profile, this name cannot be changed directly.  The only practical way to change that is to create a new user, copy the data from the user profile of MARGIE in this new user and then delete the profile of MARGIE.  To do this, pretend that the "MARGIE" user profile is corrupted and then follow the instructions in the following article:

• In XP Documents and Settings, are files under Admin, default user, all users, and duplicate files etc?

  I see in Windows XP under Documents and Settings administrator, all users, default user and owner records. This is a duplication of files? I'm trying to clean up my hard drive and I would like to have just a structure, such as the owner or the administrator. Can I get rid of all the others and save a workspace of dick? How do I do that?

  * original title - more disk space? *

  N ° don't get rid of one of these data structures, or later, you'll be sorry.

  For everyday use, you should use the profile of 'owner '.  All your documents, music, images and other data must be different subdirectories to the title of owner.

  The administrator is a built-in account for emergency use administrator privileges (for example, if your daily profile becomes corrupted).  Probably, you don't see administrator on the Welcome screen.

  Every user is an account that is used to share data between different users.  If there is only a single user defined on your computer, there should be very little in every user account in the "My Documents" of this profile part, but some applications that you have installed may have placed hidden files in different folders in the profile all users.

  Default user is a model that is used to create new user profiles.

  If you are interested in which is placed on your hard drive, download and run JDiskReport.

  If you fear that you progress low hard drive space, there are a few things you can do, but all of them are essentially temporary measures.  If you're really under out of space on your hard drive, you can buy a bigger hard drive.

  Run Disk Cleanup (start > run > cleanmgr.exe > OK)
  Adjust system restore space
  Disable the Indexing Service
  Uninstall the applications that you use is no longer
