• How to: recover disk space by removing the updates of windows installation files

  Original title : Software updates to XP Pro do take the disk space that can be reclaimed by removing downloaded files?

  I want to recover disk space which can have useless files.  Once an update is installed, the downloaded file can be deleted and if so, where they are on my drive?

  Please note this is only for Windows XP and is not on Vista or Windows 7

  Folders that have uninstall as part of the name (for example $NtUninstallKB282010$ who reside in C:\windows (hidden files) are window Hot difficulty updating folders/files) can be removed safely (providing ever, you wish to uninstall the updates). I recommend you leave these records for a period of at least one month to make sure that the update works correctly.

  These updates can be removed individually or together. To learn more about the update/s go on:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/xxxxxx
  NB: XXXXXX = the actual number, not to mention the "Q" or "Ko."

  Once you have removed the uninstall folders/files, then go to control panel, add/remove programs. Select the title of the corresponding Windows fix on the folder/file of the patch you just deleted, and select Delete. You will get a Windows error. This is because you deleted the uninstall folder/files. Simply choose OK and the entry will be removed from the Add/Remove Programs list.

• Why Microsoft did remove the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to fix it?

  No Option to install repair - SAD

  Hello

  Why Microsoft removed the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to repair.

  I recently had a problem where Vista Business 64-bit would only boot to a black screen with a mobile cursor - KSOD.   Who, in searching the Web I found is a fairly common problem with Vista.  I discovered that my only option was about to reinstall Vista CLEAN and all the other programs I had installed under it.  I can't believe that Microsoft released the 'repair installation option"similar to that of Windows XP, where you can hit the"R"key during installation and we left with nothing but the"System Restore"options and"Startup Repair ".  Neither of which has helped in my situation.  Since then, this was a dual system boot with XP Pro, then any restore point has been removed from the partition to Vista anytime, I started another recognized problem, by Microsoft, which Microsoft has made no significant effort to fix, in addition to recommending that you hide the partion Vista in XP - a whole of XP.  That beats a little the entire purpose of dual boot.

  As I tried to start in safe mode, it left me at the same point as a normal boot - black screen with a cursor.  I tried ctrl + alt + delete and nothing. Two Windows RE options did not help me.  This left me no option but to the completely reinstall Vista.   Why Microsoft did remove the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to repair.. Please don't tell me that it is because Vista uses an image file instead of an installation as XP system.   I see no other reason for not allowing the upgrade of outside BONE in addition to Microsofts greed and paranoia that he can transform the operating system easier to install illegally.  I hope that some third party has actually changed the Vista installation routine to allow you to install Vista on itself, because as it is, it's really hard for me to even recommend Vista as the operating system or install any where else, if not the only recourse after loading OS, is to reinstall completely.

  Adobe, Autodesk, and almost all other software publishers... allow you to perform a "REPAIR" of their software installation, if something prevents you to load after installation.  Even MS Office has a routine repair.  Ms has an internal version of the Setup routine which allows outside the OS upgrade option that you want to "Upgrade" / repair? ".  If not, why?

  -Todd w.

  "Why Microsoft removed the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to repair."

  «.. . After using XP's repair function, the operating system itself would become less stable and frankly not in a good state of repair. »

  As Todd, is the answer.

  "This response does not hold water as on one of my computers I've been running Windows XP for about four years now, after a repair install.

  Then, you were lucky.  Try to replace the system files on a computer that does not start even at a desk or safe mode usually will get a return to office, but will probably repeat the same problem in a few weeks.  Tech professional would only use this function to retrieve the data before a complete reinstallation.

  Respected Sir/Madam,

  Recently, I have bee affected by a series of blue screen errors. Norton AntiVirus and other well-known software just crash. Update of virus definitions files are reported as being corrupted. Fortunately, I used this SPYWARE DOCTOR which founf a file infected by HACKIT name. ROOTKIT in the SYSTEM VOLUME INFORMATION folder, which is hidden from the usual interface of WINXP.

  Please suggest some methods on how to DELETE the infected on this hidden folder?

  IF I MAKE THE HIDDEN VISIBLE THROUGH THE IBM R & R PARTITION, IT WILL HAVE AN EFFECT ON THE DATA ON THE DRIVE? ALSO, AFTER YOU DELETE THE INFECTED FILE BY USING THIS METHOD, IF I SWITCH IT BACK TO HIDDEN, WILL BE IS TO HAVE NO EFFECT ON THE CURRENT HARD DISK CONTENT?

  pleas suggest alternative methods to get rid of this infection.

  Thank you!

  SYSTEM VOLUME INFORMATION is your Restore.As system an alternative to do a factory restore, try flushing the system restore, then you can start fresh. This procedure will not delete your saved data and apps like restoration to the State of the plant would be.

  In order to remove the XP System Restore Points:
  (On XP, you must be logged in as an administrator to do.)
  Go to start > run and type msconfig and press ENTER.
  When opens in msconfig, click Launch System Restore.
  On the next page, click System Restore settings on the left.
  Check the box enable the system restore.

  Reset. Reassemble and turn on system restore. A new Restore Point is created.

  So, if you still have problems, it would mean that you have active running malware, or you have run at the same time a scanner that was falsely reported as this file, please come back. Often our malware removal tools are captured by General scanners as "Hacktools.

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".

  Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

• How can I remove "the folder/Users/user/to/mygame doesn't exist." Terminal. Rises every time I launch Terminal.

  How can I remove "the folder/Users/user/to/mygame doesn't exist." Terminal. Rises every time I launch Terminal. I am a novice. Thank you very much.

  1. Please select from the menu bar Terminal

  ▹ terminal preferences... ▹ Profiles ▹ Shell

  If the run command box is checked, uncheck it or enter the command to run automatically (if any), each opening of a Terminal window. Note: this is not how you define a default shell.

  2. If step 1 does not resolve the problem, see below.

  Back up all data.

  Select

  New Shell command ▹

  in the Terminal menu bar. Uncheck the box marked

  Run the command inside a shell

  If it is enabled.

  Copy and paste the following line into the text box that appears, and then press return:

  /bin/mkdir disabled_shell_files

  Close the Terminal window that opens. Repeat with this line:

  /bin/mv .profile .bash_history .bash_profile .bashrc .inputrc disabled_shell_files

  History Shell and former initialization files will be saved in a directory named "disabled_shell_files" at the top level of your home directory. It is normal that some of these files do not exist, and therefore, you will get error "no file".

  Close the window and open a new test.

  You may already know that files with name starting in '. ' are not visible in the Finder by default. So, if you open the folder that you created in the Finder, it will appear as empty, even if it is not. If you need to recover a portion of the data in the files of the shell, use a shell such as nano-based text editor (1). Make sure that you're not recreating the problem. Otherwise, you can delete the folder.

• [question/help] pool remove the folder in the console view administrator

  Hey all,.

  someone in my office has created a folder for pools but made a typo and I am trying to remove the folder from the pool, but I can't find out how.

  Since it's a little hard to describe, I will try to detail as much as possible.

  When I view vmware administrator, I click on "Pools" on the left pane and it will list all my stocks on the right pane. In the toolbar, there is a box that says "file:" and then a drop down menu to the right that says "All". If I click on the drop down menu, I'll see 'All', ' / ', 'typo would be common. "

  How can I go about removing this "typo would be chicken"? There is actually no pools assigned to this folder. I moved all of the pools in the folder ' / '.

  any ideas? Thank you all

  Under the display configuration, administrators Folders tab shows up.  You can remove it from there.  You must ensure that no fund pools are inside it or she won't let you delete it.  You can remove the offices of the record pool with remove them at view 5.1.

  

• Cannot write to the folder C:\WINDOWS during repair or even Recovery Console

  The security on my folder C:\WINDOWS on my XP Home Edition somehow got changed to allow total control over a normal users (not administrator), and * only * this user - that is to say, no one else appeared in the list of users who have access to this folder.  I discovered this in the context of trying to figure out why the windows updates work is more due to the file permission errors.  To try to solve this problem, I changed the security for the C:\WINDOWS folder to 1) completely remove the normal user authorization and 2) add full control permissions to the accounts of two administrators on the computer.

  Unfortunately, next time I restarted the system, it would no longer boot properly - it shows a black screen with a white cursor, and that's it.  I then tried using the Windows XP Setup disk to repair the installation.  However, when the repair is executed, it is said that 'Setup cannot copy the file xxx.xxx' most every file it is trying to install.  It may even be all he's trying to install files.  The first file is complains about is vgaoem.fon and I tried to skip all files that fail, but I gave up after a hundred and it was still only about 25% complete.

  Then I tried to go to the Recovery Console to see if I could tell what was going on.  I noticed that I can copy files in C:\, but I can't copy anything in C:\WINDOWS or one of its subfolders.  According to the documentation, I should be able to copy files in C:\WINDOWS--sinon, the Recovery Console would be pretty useless.  My best guess at what happens is that the permissions for the folder C:\WINDOWS are somehow restricted such that even the administrator is unable to write to the directory.  The ACL apply in the Recovery Console?  I can't use the ACL commands in the Recovery Console, so I can't say.  Perhaps there is a registry setting that causes this problem?

  I really want to do a new installation I'm losing all my data (in addition to having to reinstall all my applications).  Any ideas?

  Thank you.
