searching for remaining files of deleted to the Win7 registry software?
I was looking for a particular in my registry file when I found several unknown files. When clicked, I found that they went to the programs that I had uninstalled long ago. Example: Norton 360. I'm a little anxious when it comes to cleanliness and sharpness. I want my free registry files unnecessary, but I don't want to use a registry cleaner I know, that they are not safe. I am familiar with my registry and very careful.,.
I use no programs like Windows Movie Maker, and I really Visual Studio and Java, all the Svc that are lined up everywhere without any explanation as to what they are doing... I don't use Windows Sidebar and Gadgets, do I really need taking place?
I hope that there is someone else out there who understands. :)
Unfortunately - uninstallers most are poorly maintained and leave behind pieces - probably more than the entries in the registry.
You can uninstall Windows Movie Maker if you wish. After all - it was installed with Windows Live Essentials or similar.
What about Java - you or something that you have probably installed - if you mean Java Runtime Environment (JRE), the web plugin. You can uninstall too - see what breaks, and install the latest version, if you want.
Regarding the "Visual Studio."<-- no="" idea="" what="" you="" mean="" there.="" you="" may="" have="" a="" microsoft="" visual="" c++="" redistributable="" installed="" that="" got="" there="" with="" some="" other="" installation="" and="" was="" kept="" updated="" after="" that="" by="" microsoft="">-->
Regarding the sidebars and gadgets - as long as you have disabled, I would not do much more with them. Although - you can uninstall them also, at their base.
Going to Panel of--> all items in Control Panel--> programs and features to uninstall first - things that you don't think you need or do not want. I would be careful here - many things settle because your video card and software device driver need them or some other component, its application in car, etc, that was installed required him to function and there is no NOTE of that, nor is it part of any warning that removing it will be that break.
You can choose "Turn Windows features on or off ' on the left to remove might be more still of the flesh that is installed, you do not want... Remove the default games individually, for example, expand the section multimedia features and remove Windows DVD Maker, if you don't use/want it, expand your printing and scanning, and remove Windows Fax and Scan, if you have no scanner/fax system, remove the Windows Gadget platform and perhaps the Tablet PC components if you do not use the Journal the math input panel or handwriting...
At least then we remove things safely.
Honestly - you saying, "I want my free registry of unnecessary files...". "gives me pause - because there is no files 'in' the registry. ;-) (Old joke... * SMILE *)
If you (after making the foregoing) want to find some orphan registry entries and want to be very careful on those who you decide to delete - although I don't recommend registry cleaners - you could use CCleaner (FREE version) to find the orphaned entries, see their list, select what you want to delete, and export State pre cleaning (although I recommend a system image backup before you start) to do this...
Note that the registry cleaning will probably do very little for space, nothing for the performance of the system and is a risk. It's just for your own information, you would do this, the benefits being almost strictly mental.
For the most part - it is better for most of the people that they don't mess with what is installed and worry no more space on their disk unless it starts to become very low (less than 15% for small disks of 80 GB to 160 GB or less and less than 20-40 GB for the disks in this size (, IMHO.) A little cleaning in the wrong place can have disastrous consequences and any application or individual tells you that they can guide you 100% securely through a cleanup of this type without seeing themselves - is probably play on your need to clean top and hoping for a good result * the best *.

Remove the black search box that says start typing to search for applications, files, and settings
Can someone tell me please how to permanently delete this search field that keeps appearing in different applications that I use?
I have windows 10 on a HP laptop. Often when I'm working in an application and I move the cursor on the screen, this search box - start typing to search for applications, files, and settings - appears. I tried several times to turn it off, but I do not just because I can't seem to get rid of it.
I would like it removed permanently or turns off permanently so it is not continue to block my view of the application, that I'm trying. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Found this.
Click on the Start button and select settings.
Then select devices.
Click on the mouse and touch pad and scroll down and select 'extra mouse Options '.
This will open a box that should have the information and the name of the type of touchpad has your computer.
Click on settings and then in the new box that opens, you should see a tab that says 'Tapping '.
Open this tab and you should see 'Three finger Tap' and 'four finger Tap.
Clear the check boxes, and then click 'apply '.

How can I search in Windows 7 for all files not containing a speific (_) character in the file?
I have two files with about 50 000 files in each folder. There are many copies of the same file (only one folder contains photos, the other file has data files. In the two files copies have the same name as the original file, for example IMG01, but identified for example IMG01_1, IMG01_2, etc..)
I would like to find all files that DO NOT have a _ in them. Can I do this? How?
Or I have to search for all files that have a _ by searching for * _ *? Delete these files?
I tried, but program trotted for 2 hours. Just take a while?
I thought that if I could search only files without the _ it would be more effective.
Less than 20% of the files in each folder have not a _ in them.
You should be able to use a? or * to replace a number of characters that are either unique or variable. * book would find both book and facebook, or? ook would only book.
Anyway, there's probably not a way to identify the files corrupted by a search.

Hello
Windows displays a temporary storage area where files are held before they are copied to the CD. Files or folders located in the temporary storage area are listed under files ready to be written on the CD.
Try the steps and check them off below if it helps:
a. double-click my computer and then double-click the CD burner.
b. under CD writing tasks, click on delete temporary files.
When you delete the contents of the temporary storage area, you can set this field to another set of files and folders that you want to copy to the CD. The files are not deleted from their location on your computer or on the CD.

Search for all files? Search by creation date?
How can I search within all files? I know that the files are there and contain the words I'm looking for, but Windows cannot find them. Some files do not have extensions, some have a .bak extension and some have various other extensions.
Also, I see an option to search by modification date, but not created. How can I search for all files on my hard drive, created on a particular date (including the .dll, .exe, etc..). I'm trying to find all the files that were installed with an application. The files have different change dates, but all have the same creation date (when the application has been installed).
I do not understand how that returns results for all files (including non indexed files). Can you please explain?
The search interface has been simplified at the request of the overwhelming majority of users. Until a more sophisticated user, you liked the very high amount of control WHAT XP gave it. The new interface 7 has fewer orders. When the research opens, you will see an "additional search... "Computer" and other. Since you are obviously in control of syntax, the interface for non indexed opening files is quite simple. There is always the option to expand the index to include everything. (Control panel/Indexing Options)
If your index still don't "look in" a file, you can try to assign an 'association' for the file type. I have no idea what the .xyz file type might have as a native association, but you can associate this notebook. (right-click, open with, choose default program..., see the box always 'use..')
