Restore deleted / lack of special user Windows 7 folders

Hello from a new Member...

I deleted by mistake several of the default user folders: Contacts, my music and my pictures.  I am new to Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit): I'm a non-technical user at home with a new computer from Acer 5740 laptop i5. I searched the net and I tried tutorial SevenForums.com famous edge to restore the default locations. I used the download of the appropriate registry file, put in the high command entered and correct command shell. The default location is correct in the registry, but no Contacts folder appears in folders user despite several reboots. I have had no more success with my music.

What is the right way to do these restorations? Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong? (Why is it so easy to delete special folders by default of the user!)

Hi windsorian,.
 
(a) have you checked in the trash?
 
(b) the operating system come preinstalled on your Acer laptop?
 
(c) have you made a backup of your files and folders?
 
If so, follow the steps in the article.
 
(d) was there all the data in the files?
 
If this isn't the case, then you can create a new user account and all records will be returned.
 
 
If it was important bin of data that are lost and are not in the Recycle Bin, then you will need to use some recovery 3rd party tools to recover the data if no replacement is done.

  • If it hurts if I delete the system per user queued?

    original title: DURING the DISK CLEANUP

    WILL IT HURT IF I DELETE THE SYSTEM PER USER IN QUEUE AND WINDOWS ERROR REPORTING SYSTEM?
    I'M RUNNING OUT OF ROOM AND WHAT ARE THE FILES DEVOURS MORE SPACE!

    Yo can do that, but you can't win important disk space. The three main newspapers are system, security and Application and each maximum by default 20 MB each.

    How to deal with each must select Start, Control Panel, administrative tools, Event Viewer, Windows logs. Place the cursor on the system, click with the right button on the properties and select clear. Repeat for security and application logs. You can also change the default 20 480 KB 2 048 KB maximum. When you have completed the change make sure you click on apply. You must restart the computer to apply the new settings. You note miust use clearly if you want to set a lower maximum rate.

    You'll have more space by deleting old restore points. This action can greatly increase the free disk space.

    Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.

    Using the system restore option is most appropriate when your system is slow and you need to increase the free disk space on your C partition. If you have errors that could be solved by using the system restore to your system settings back to before the error occurred initially do not use this option.

    If more than one person uses the computer and they have their own user log you need to run Disk Cleanup in each user profile that you want to delete all the unwanted files.

    A better program of disk cleanup is cCleaner. Delete System Restore points may be important if you have little free disk space. The ability to delete them is one of the tools options. cCleaner comes with a registry tool. Do not use this tool as any registry cleaner could lead to the creation of very difficult to resolve system errors.

  • By using the system restore before computer restart after updating Windows 10...

    I chose to try the upgrade of Windows 10 on my laptop primary.  Because of the long installation times, I started late in the evening then followed finishing (or almost) the update the next morning.  Until I sat down to 'start' I spoke with a friend who had just completed an installation of two heavy day of problems.    Although I am good enough to solve computer OS and software installation problems, I was very reluctant to go forward.   After serious soul searching I elected continue to use Windows 7, I don't really like.

    That's why I chose to use the system restore before restarting my computer needed complete Windows Update 10.  I chose the previous restore point before the update of windows 10 and ran through the entire procedure and then restarted the computer after the restore point.

    Everything worked fine and I was able to do the foregoing... Except that I can't do updates of security that have been uninstalled.   The Windows Update screen repeat "you must restart your computer...". "with the reboot by holding the active button.

    This window doesn't go away even after reboot, and I can not "check for Updates".

    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to reset this program if I can do all the updates except Windows 10 security.

    Thank you for any assistance.

    By using the system restore before computer restart after updating Windows 10...

    Sorry, System Restore does not cancel the major updates, that's why a lot of automatic updates delete all system restore points. The tool that is appropriate in this case would be a restore Image. If you have not created an image before the upgrade, then you are out of luck.
