• Restore the backup files. Windows Vista Expert needed!

  Help!  Recently, a virus wiped out my operating system (Windows Vista).  C drive my PC had literally nothing about it.  Then I got a new VISTA OS installed by a repair shop.  I tried to restore my previous configuration from the backup I had on an external drive, using the Vista Backup & Restore utility.  This "worked" except that he restored the backup files in a separate location on the C drive.  Using the windows Explorer I see all those files that have been restored in a folder named "Thom".

  However the new Vista installation has the user name "Thomas" where a configuration complete, (Documents, Favorites, desktop, etc.), was created.  When I connect, it's the config I see (new office, new files and folders for this new user, 'Thomas'.  I want to use the configuration, (files, folders, office computer), under the former name "Thom", not this new one, "Thomas."

  I'm afraid to just delete the files under Thomas I'm afraid I'm going to destroy my access to Windows in general.  Currently, I show only a user account in the control panel.  I don't have the 'Thom' user in the folder of the user within the new configuration.  How to delete files and folders under Thomas and use files and folders in the folder named Thom that is located on drive C?

  All restoring the backup files are there, they show just a folder on drive C, titled "Thom".  When I connect to my pc it takes me to your desktop created by the new facility.  I need ALL the files in the backup (office, e-mail, files & folders), not the Setup program created by the installation of the new Vista.  I want to be able to connect to windows and have it use the backup files, which are located in this folder named "Thom" which show on the C drive.

  Can I simply combine or merge or copy the files in the folder 'Thom', I want to use in the files of the same name, (contacts, documents, Favorites, desktop), which are under the name of "Thomas"?  Can I remove folders under the user 'Thomas' and all it's files and records and hope that windows then takes me in the files that I want to use?

  I use my laptop, (HP Pavilion, 64-bit), for business and I'm dead in the water until I can access my old configuration.  I am on day 5 of this disaster and I am desperate, please help!

  Hello Reggie999,

  Thanks for the return of the response.  You can move the files/folders in the 'Thom' folder in your new user account 'Thomas '.   Or another option would be to create a new user account and call it what you want, then move the folder in this user account.

  If you create a new user account and move your files/folders to this account, it would be nice to delete the user account 'Thomas '.  Just make sure that you have all of the files in the profile that you have recently created/added.

• How can I change the default file locations in the dialog box "Save as" in Windows 7 x 64?

  I tried all the tips and tricks of WinXP, but they do not seem to work in Win7. Does anyone know how to change the location of the default files for the dialog box "Save as" in Win7?

  It seems, in Windows 7, that you cannot change locations by default save as file.

  In XP, we could modify the registry or use other methods to change the location of the files that appear on the left margin of the Save as dialog box. But some Morón in Redmond chose to end with good sense and called "libraries."

  I really wish Microsoft would stop doing what they think, it's the best for Grandma and little Suzy and give us what expect when we pay for these programs.

• restore the default permission settings in vista

  How to restore the default permission settings in Vista

  I had problems sharing files and went to different media pages, mainly integrated ones. I changed the user permissions and tried to add the user on the Security tab, but I must have done something wrong. 128-bit encryption seems to be lost. Maybe it's that everything that triggers this file was transformed into a "read only" file (which has happened to another file, I've tried to share). Any help will be appreciated.

  Hello

  To reset security settings back to default, take a look at the following article:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/313222

  • Click the ball to Start .
  • Under Search, type cmdand press ENTER.
  • Type the following command, and then press ENTER:

  secedit/configure /cfg %windir%\inf\defltbase.inf/db defltbase.sdb / verbose

  You receive a "task is completed" message and a warning message that something was impossible. You can ignore this message.

• How can I change the locations of Windows Update to the default settings of Windows?

  Windows backup does not complete successfully, and I get the message "the system cannot find the specified file (0 x 80070002). Windows error procedures have not found the answer.  Solving the problems of files MS Fixit found that where Windows Update stores data has changed and that it should be repaired by changing places of WU to the default settings of Windows.  Please can someone explain how to do this?

  Hi Derek,.

  Thanks to join Microsoft Community where you will find all necessary information about the Windows operating systems.

  You cannot perform backup and get error the system cannot find the specified file (0 x 80070002).

  The problem may occur if there is some disk errors hard or due to the interruption by third-party programs.

  What fixit have you tried?

  To check if the problem is due to hard drive errors or due to the interruption by third-party programs, I suggest you follow the steps:

  After each step, if the problem persists, go to the other.

  Method 1: Check the hard disk for errors

   

  See the site:

  Check your hard drive for errors

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows-Vista/check-your-hard-disk-for-errors

   

  Note:  When checking a disk for errors, if bad sectors si des secteurs defectueux sont are found then the system tries to repair sector. All data may be lost. So make a backup of the data.

   

  Method 2: Clean boot

   

  When the computer starts to boot, programs non-Microsoft will not be started and would avoid any interruption of their share.

  See the mentioned site:

  How to perform a clean boot for a problem in Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: once you are done with the boot, follow step 3 of section to set your computer to normal startup.

  Note: If in case, you are connected via a connection wireless, and then when you start the System Configuration utility to perform the clean boot, click Startup and Services tab one time and check wireless see corresponding section are checked (enabled).

   

  I hope this helps. If the problem persists, or if you have problems of Windows in the future, let us know and we would be happy to help you.
