• You can delete files in C:/Documents and Settings / < username > / Local Settings/Temp subdir?

  I found almost 6 GB of space in C:/Documents and Settings /Settings/Temp categoriy (I have a partitioned drive where C:\ is my system drive), which took me a limit where I can't defragment and things are very slow.  If I can delete which could greatly improve things.  However could take the space of the other partition and add it to the C:\ partition?

  Thank you

  Yes, you can delete the files in the Temp directory. Yes, you can merge partitions, but only with the if third-party partitioning software you don't want to start over with a clean install. Before we do partitioning, it would be wise to back up data on external media such as an external USB hard disk, in any case because the things happens.

• Unknown folders in Documents and Settings

  Here is a link to imageshack for two .jpeg files.

  http://ImageShack.us/photo/my-images/13/fdrivedocumentsandsetti.jpg/ and http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/29/documentsandsettings112.jpg/

  Both are Documents of XP Home and settings folder, one is archived from a disk image of the 24/11/2011, and the other comes from a backup copy of the Documents and Settings folder from 02/02/2012.  It is the second that I have questions, especially since 02/02/2012, system showed signs of an unknown infection affecting the operation with the mouse and the keyboard text write operation.  (Both were slow).

  System restore operation seems to be successful, restarted, but system restore incomplete or successful never appeared.   Features of safety on all security programs program had been lost or disabled to a certain extent.

  Only use was to restore a disk image of the 24/11/2011.  That is why the image of archives of 24/11/2011.

  Any info on what NetworkService and LocalService records are?

• In XP Documents and Settings, are files under Admin, default user, all users, and duplicate files etc?

  I see in Windows XP under Documents and Settings administrator, all users, default user and owner records. This is a duplication of files? I'm trying to clean up my hard drive and I would like to have just a structure, such as the owner or the administrator. Can I get rid of all the others and save a workspace of dick? How do I do that?

  * original title - more disk space? *

  N ° don't get rid of one of these data structures, or later, you'll be sorry.

  For everyday use, you should use the profile of 'owner '.  All your documents, music, images and other data must be different subdirectories to the title of owner.

  The administrator is a built-in account for emergency use administrator privileges (for example, if your daily profile becomes corrupted).  Probably, you don't see administrator on the Welcome screen.

  Every user is an account that is used to share data between different users.  If there is only a single user defined on your computer, there should be very little in every user account in the "My Documents" of this profile part, but some applications that you have installed may have placed hidden files in different folders in the profile all users.

  Default user is a model that is used to create new user profiles.

  If you are interested in which is placed on your hard drive, download and run JDiskReport.

  If you fear that you progress low hard drive space, there are a few things you can do, but all of them are essentially temporary measures.  If you're really under out of space on your hard drive, you can buy a bigger hard drive.

  Run Disk Cleanup (start > run > cleanmgr.exe > OK)
  Adjust system restore space
  Disable the Indexing Service

• Somehow my windows xp C:\Documents and Settings\Users\Local Settings\Temp folder to store all the files inside?

  Somehow my windows xp C:\Documents and Settings\Users\Local Settings\Temp Dungeon folder all files inside that has occupied almost all of my computer hard disk free space. I thought that it will remove al temporary files or folders automatically?

  My hard drive has 700 MB of free space suddenly dropped to 24MB

After checking the problem, I discovered this Dungeon C:\Documents and Settings\Users\Local Settings\Temp folder, all files inside that occupied almost everything my computer hard drive free space.

  I thought that the temp folder automatically clean the cache file and the folder after some days, can someone tell me why temp folder stores all the files and folder used almost all the free space from my hard drive?

• 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.

• 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!

• How can I copy restored c:\documents and settings\myusername\favorites\bookmarks at tab bookmarks Firefox bookmarks?

  My computer crashed and I had to restore it to its condition of purchase (2008). I had backed up all my data on Mozy. After the restoration of 12 GB of files, the 'Favorites' folder is in C:\Documents and Settings\myusername\favorites. The old shortcuts are in the folder, but I can't have them at my bookmarks Firefox tab. How can I do this?

  You can't do it this way. Those are the Favorites of IE and Firefox can't handle these files. You need to export your IE Favorites in bookmarks.htm format so that you then import this file into Firefox.

  In Internet Explorer:
  
  File > Import/Export - Export to HTML file

  then in Firefox:
  
  Bookmarks > show all bookmarks-> import and backup - import HTML... = HTML file

• Change config son location "Document and Settings" another location

  I'm working ICT manager of ass in a welcoming and many users like to use Firefox. The problem is that we have a manager of quota installed on all systems with a maximum profile size limit to 30 MB. Society does not, in any circumstances, increase this size limit. This creates the problem that users who don't not Firefox installed bigger profiles and can not work more.

  The main issue in the present is: we can set up Firefox so that the user's settings (and other parts of Firefox) are not written in the "C:\Documents and Settings\ [user]", but the other (still available to the user) location?

  Another option would be like a portable version of Firefox (as Google Chrome Portable) but I do not think that Mozilla has done a portable version? (supported by Mozilla itself and only storage full al necessary files in a local folder, such as the user settings)

  Firefox uses two places in Documents and Settings on XP for the profile folder.
  
  In the Application data for the main profile and the other in local contexts for the cache and the database of phishing protection.

  This second location is also within this disk quota?

  You can only make Firefox use a profile to a different location if you run Firefox by specifying the location of the folder in the shortcut on the desktop Firefox profile, but which can cause problems if you click on a link in another program and Firefox is not running.

• I have 7 user folders in C:\Documents and Settings and a single user account. How can I assign the right folder to my account and get rid of the others?

  Recently I got a video card break down. Repair technology installed a new and created a new Documents and Settings folder, which is now using my user account. I don't want these settings, I want the 'old'.

  Please write the command NET USER (at a command prompt) and report the output of the command.

  To find out what profile folder the user uses the command DEFINE the USER.

  To get a list of all users and their profile folders use the script VBS here: shows all the SIDS of the user with the path to copy and paste the script (in the box) to a Notepad file and then save it with a .vbs extension and run it.

  Set up your computer so that it uses an automatic connection, and when you get to the login screen just enter the user name and password of the account you want to use, and you should still be able to open a session with him.  To change the automatic logon settings type control userpasswords2 in the box run from the start menu and select (put a check mark) the option "users must enter a user name and password...". ».  If you use the 'Welcome' screen, you can press Ctrl + Alt + Delete twice to get the login screen and you can then enter the user name and password.

  To remove an unwanted user account and its associated user files use the applet in the control panel user accounts, don't forget about your actions before you delete a user account and its files, it is a one-way street and destruction will be permanent.

• fragmented files Documents and Settings\User1\Local Settings\Temp\toolbar_log.txt

  I'm going to defragment the cause there are a lot of red and gives files thinking about the computer. There are still two blocks red af after defragmentation. We have 709 fragmented files. the only thing he tells me is to defragment again. This is a sound block saying me the corresponding problem.

  Hi Jason,

  1. to confirm, do you use the Windows XP operating system?

  2. do you get an error message? If Yes, what is the full error message?

  It seems that we have to clean the unnecessary files and check if the drive works properly or not.

  I suggest you perform the steps.

  Method 1: Use the Disk Cleanup tool and check if that helps you.

  See also:

  How to automate the disk cleanup tool in Windows XP

  Rerun defragment and check.

  Method 2:

  Alternatively, you can scan the hard disk for errors. You may need to run the scan several times and make sure that the disc is clean.

  Reference:

  How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP

  Chkdsk

  You can opt chkdsk/r

  Note: He performs a comprehensive check, even if the drive is not marked for chkdsk to run. This parameter is none of the changes on the disk.

  Note: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.

  Once you have finished the cleaning disc and chkdsk, you can perform defragment to see if it solved the problem.

  Hope this information helps. Response with status so that we can help you.

• All Windows XP Documents and Settings folder names caps

  We use XP in a business environment. Recently, we have noticed that some user in "Documents and Settings" folders on a particular machine have changed randomly to be appointed with all caps. This causes problems with their profiles. What could have caused this?

  In addition, some files have changed to say the username followed by a point and our domain name. Do not know what is happening. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

  Windows keeps cases in the names of files and folders, but when you access to files and folders, it is case-insensitive (i.e. upper/lower case is not serious).

  Records of the changing profile of user name directly to a username followed by a point and a domain name, on the other hand, comes following a corrupt user profile.  Corrupted user profiles usually occur as a result of (or comes from) the corruption of the file system.  Corruption of system files may result in the capitalization of the problems that you notice.  To recover a corrupted user profile, choose your method of the following:
