• Error message: cannot create the folder C:\Documents and Settings\Marlon\Local Application BVRP Software\NetWaiting\MoHlog.txt Settings\

  I recently had a problem with the virus 'Restore Windows'. I was able to get rid of it with Malwarebytes antivirus scanner, but when I turn on my computer I get this error message.
  Cannot create the folder C:\Documents and Settings\ of Settings\Marlon\Local Application BVRP Software\NetWaiting\MoHlog.txt
  
  
  I'm no expert, but I feel that my C drive disappeared, or at least has been hidden. My documents, pictures and music files are all empty. My programs (start > all programs) have been removed and deleted the shortcuts on the desktop. When I go to my computer, my personal and shared document files are not accessible. Under the description it says that they are hidden. My local disk (c) is also empty, but there is still very little space which suggests that programs and files have not been deleted.
  Is it possible to recover my files?
  Thank you

  Hello

  MoHlog.txt file is related to the software of modem on the computer, you can uninstall and reinsta it check if it works.

  Also scan your computer for any infection by virus still present on the computer using any scanner online.

  You can also try the system restore to the point before that the computer has been infected by the virus and check if it helps.

  Good luck!

• Can't see hidden files to delete in the folder C:\Documents and Settings\William\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

  C:\Documents and Settings\William\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files folder there are more than 135,000 files; nearly 2,000 cases and close to 3 GB of data. These files do not display and I can't remove them by deleting temporary Internet files. When I try to see the files to help to locate hidden files, only three very small files appear. How can I delete these files? Can I delete the folder and create a new one?

  William

  You can also enter your options Internet Explorer (via Control Panel), on the general tab, in the browsing history, there should be a settings button, once there, you should be able to select Show files in the temporary Internet files section.  Who will open the file for you and you can do CTRL + A (select all), and then delete.

  Some of the files in the folder may be used, and if they are in use, you will not be able to remove them.  You will need to know what is their use, cannot be used, then delete them.

• 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:

  Hello Qtermile14.

  In Windows Vista, the Documents and Settings folder is not a real file.  It's just a junction for compatibility, that is why its hidden.  Your files are now living in the users folder.

• Why have I not 2 folders of paper? We are in c:\documents and settings and the other in c:\users

  I have 2 files in Windows 7 and they appear almost the same. One is c:\documents and settings\name\Mydocuments and the other is c:\users\name\MyDocuments. Can I move all the files the c:\users folder and then delete the folder c:\documents and settings?

  They are the same file.

  C:\Documents and Settings\ is an alias used to ensure the compatibility of older programs.

  This name is hidden if you are using the default options in the Folder Options > view. Unchecking "Hide protected operating system files" causes the file name to become visible.

  In Windows Vista user profiles

  In Windows XP, 2000, 2003, user profiles are stored in c:\Documents and Settings. In Windows Vista, the profiles are now stored in c:\Users. You will see a folder c:\Documents and Settings in Windows Explorer in Vista, but you will also notice the shortcut icon on the folder, and you will not be able to access this folder. c:\Documents and Settings is now a junction Point. You can use the random dir command to see where c:\Documents and Settings point to or use the table below.

  The following table lists the old profile path and the new path under Windows Vista.

  Old path	New path
  \Documents and Settings	\Users
  \Documents and Settings\Default User or %LogonServer%\NETLOGON\Default user	\USERS\DEFAULT or %LogonServer%\NETLOGON\Default
  \Documents and Settings\\My Documents	\Users\\Documents
  \Documents and Settings\\My Documents\My photos	\Users\\Pictures
  \Documents and Settings\\My Documents\My Music	\Users\\Music
  \Documents and Settings\\Favorites	\Users\\Favorites
  N/A	\Users\\Contacts
  N/A	\Users\personal
  N/A	\Users\\SavedGames
  \Documents and Settings\Change Data	\Users\\AppData\Roaming
  \Documents and Settings\Settings\Application Data	\Users\\AppData\Local
  \Documents and Settings\\Start Menu	\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\ start Menu
  \Documents and Settings\All Users	\Users\Public
  \Documents and Settings\All Users Menu	\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start menu
  \Documents and Settings\All Users\Bureau	\Users\Public\Desktop

  Records to take note of here are the folders in the path of all users. Many legacy applications that use outdated methods to solve the system folders, will solve the railways under C:\ProgramData when looking for common places. For example, the joint office can be resolved as C:\ProgramData\Desktop, however; This is actually a point of junction for C:\ProgramData\Users\Public\Desktop. A random entry in the C:\ProgramData folder dir reveals the following Junction Points:

  Path	Points to
  Data \ProgramData\Application	\ProgramData
  \ProgramData\Desktop	\Users\Public\Desktop
  \ProgramData\Documents	\Users\Public\Documents
  \ProgramData\Favorites	\Users\Public\Favorites
  Menu \ProgramData\Start	\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start menu
  \ProgramData\Templates	\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Templates

• Can I safely delete the D partition on the HARD drive?

  Second question: my laptop came with the HD in two partitions, C and d is there a purpose for this and I can easily (safely) delete the D partition?

  You can do what you want and you can create a partition but HARD DISK with two partitions has since. All important data, you can save the second one (D). If something is wrong with the operating system you can install it at any time on the partition c. on this way, all your data will still be there.

  The delivered use recovery media, you can use the configuration option and select installation on already created the C partition.

  I recommend you leave him with two partitions.

• 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.

• Need to access the 'Documents and Settings' folder in Windows 7

  I am importing an ArcMAP GIS project to my new Windows 7 computer (the project was launched on Windows XP).  Because the files in this project were initially located in the subdirectories of the "Documents and Settings" folder, map search these files in this folder.  So, I need to access this folder if I put the files in the location that arcmap is expected to make them, or that I inform manually map the new location, one at a time, hundreds and hundreds of files.  Is there a way I can access the "Documents and Settings" folder to add new subdirectories and files in it?  After some research, I found the folder, but I said that I don't have authority (even as an administrator) to access and modify the content of the folder.  Thank you

• Windows.Old does not list the "Documents and Settings".

  I installed Windows Vista Ultimate on my main hard drive of workstations.  I looked online and saw a lot of messages on many sites saying that all my old documents of the previous version of Windows (XP that wouldn't start) should be available in the Windows.old folder, in a subfolder called Documents and Settings.  The only folders that are weProgram Files and Windows.  I tried to take possession of the entire record and made sure that Windows displays the hidden files and folders.  My username has the administrator capabilities.  I'mREALLY hoping that the files are not entirely lost.  All that I'm missing?

  Hello
  
  Documents and settings folder must exist inside the windows.old. Check if the file is hidden and also check the Recycle Bin folder is deleted by mistake.
  Or you can also use windows search to search for any document in this folder to track the location of the folder.
   
  I hope this helps.

  Thank you, and in what concerns:
