System 32 - these files are hidden.

When I restart my computer, windows xp, a blue window lights up and says: repressive 32 - these files are hidden.

My computer has never done this before.

Is this dangerous? Can I get rid of him? It will make my computer running slowly?

It sounds as if there is an incorrect boot entry in the Windows registry.

Sometimes the problem is a simple "characters in a path name where it should be two.  See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=170086

It can also be caused (especially on Dell computers) by a boot for his SB Audigy 2 card entry, although it is a very old problem that I expected to have been fixed now.  Remove the space before the value /L:ENG.  Or you can remove all of the SB Audigy 2 key - but it will be re-created the next time that you run the SB Audigy 2 application.

The places in the registry to check are

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run

If you do not want to messing around in the Windows registry (as well be), follow these steps:

  • Click on start and then run.  In the box 'Opens', type msinfo32, and then click OK.
  • In the system information window, click on the + next to "Software Environment".
  • Then click on "startup programs".
  • Click on edit, then click on "select all."
  • Click on edit, then click on "copy".
  • Paste the content in your response here and I'll see if I can spot the problem

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    ·         You have security software installed on your computer?

    Changed file .exe file names, the reason might be that the computer is infected from virus or malware.

    I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

  • deleted files are hidden

    Hello

    It is a strange thing, I deleted several mp3 files (at least 70 titles) of my Sansa Clip (I used my Mac), but the files are still somewhere on the player. I tried a search with all the tools I could find (including some software to find names of files starting with a dot, they are deleted), I tried my Windows PC (Win7)... nothing has worked. I always get the information, that there is some hidden files on the disk, but not where they are and how I could find them.

    What can I do?

    Someone else posted this same scenario a few days ago. If you empty your trash before you pull the plug, I think that you miss your chance and cannot re - connect to. So yes, re-formatting the drive, it's what I would try. You can do this from the player settings > settings menu system, without having to connect to your Mac to do.

    Yep, of course. MSC mode is mode only you can use it with a Mac, because PSG is a Windows only and for synchronization via Windows Media Player mode.

    Fitness, as suggested above will be hopefully solve this problem as well. Don't forget to check out your USB setting after formatting, though, as he sometimes returns the default player, Auto Vice affecting. Manually select the MSC before trying to connect to your Mac.

    In my C drive in the expanded Details view, under the file Windows are these. What is it? They do not appear in the Navigation mode. Can they be deleted safely?

    I find the names of similar files in my user account properties and occasionally in my external hard drive.
    The only thing I can find, but for this, am suspicious of is that they can be files created by Norton, a newspaper any. Although I am generally able to identify those of the own file created by the analysis of privacy by Symantec Norton Utilities.

    These files are temporary etilefrine some installations/uninstallations. You can delete it to save space and they are of no use. But note that some files are accessible by some programs, so that the files cannot be deleted. In this case, not ignore them. But do not delete the temp/tmp folders in the local directory directly. You can only delete the files in the folders. However, you can delete the folder directly, if it is present in the external storage.

  • install new software, but the files are old

    I just got a Palm Centro.  I had a Palm 505 for years, had Palm desktop on my Vista computer for 1 1/2 years.  I installed the Palm Desktop software that came with my Centro on my Vista computer and my calendar, notes, addresses all look as they did there is 1 1/2 years.  I had synced immediately before installing the new software.  I had a return to the top of my file with all these files, so I replaced my 'Kris' file with address, calendar, etc. files.  I closed my Palm Desktop and restarted.  No luck, I'm still all my old info - not up to date.  I have not synced my phone with the computer, because it is not good.  And, I'm afraid to synchronize my current palm and lose everything out there (since my "backup") doesn't seem to work.  Help!  How to bring back all my current info?

    Did you install the version of Palm desktop that you got with the Centro, 6.2?

    There is a procedure to try to recover your files. Search in the following location to the user name of Palm Desktop folder.

    C:\Users\(Windows username) \Documents\Palm OS Desktop\

    Look in the folder of user name for category folders, of addresses/contacts, calendar/calendar, etc. In these files are data files. Search for files with names like address.mdb, address.mdb.bak. The .mdb file is the current data file, the. mdb.bak is the backup file. Try to rename the .mdb file to. mdb.old. Then rename it. mdb.bak (remove the.bak extension) .mdb file. Open Palm desktop and see if the data is there. IF you do not have the .bak file, then you cannot rename to retrieve the data.

    When you migrate to a new device, use of palm desktop 6.2, the files of the old version of Palm desktop in the user name folder are not compatible. You can't drag and drop the files to the new user name folder.  Data in Palm desktop 6.2 files are in a format that Microsoft Access Datbase, so the extension .mdb.

    See if you can rename the files .mdb first to see if you can recover the data. If you can not use method, can 'clean up' uninstall Palm desktop currently installed, install the version you were using before the update, copy the username folder you backed up from the old version and paste it into the old Palm Desktop folder. Open Palm desktop and see if the data is there. Another option is to sync the old device to the old version of Palm desktop and then export the data.

    Once it is installed and you have data intact in the old version of Palm desktop, export data, install the new Palm desktop and import the data. The export and import procedure, you can use the data in any version of Palm desktop.

    If the change of name does not work, do the 'clean' Uninstall using instructions below.

    You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something
    is happening. You can find your data files by clicking on start--> Documents-->
    Palm OS Desktop. Select your Palm Desktop user name, and then right-click and
    copy. Then go to the desktop of your PC, click on a blank spot block and select.

    Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove anything that has to do
    with Palm Desktop on your computer.
    Go to the following locations on the PC and delete the folders listed below.
    C:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One
    C:\Users\[Vista username] \appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or
    PalmOne
    C:\Users\[Vista username] \appdata
    * Note You may need to show hidden folders to join appdata. To do this go
    in your control panel and folder options open. Go to the tab and disable
    hide hidden files.
    Once this is done, you will need to remove certain keys in the registry of your PC operating system.

    Word of warning, go here and removing the wrong thing can cause your PC
    commissioning, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel
    you're not sure of yourself, see if you have a friend who can help you or a
    PC technician that you can pay to help you. This procedure will show them everything they need to remove. To make sure that we have a good copy of the current registry, we make a backup of the registry.

    Go to start on your PC in the search box type "regedit.exe" without the quotes.

    Highlight COMPUTER, go to--> export file. Should appear with a save as box.
    Current place of residence is fine, must be within My Documents, or save to a location that you will remember. In the name of the file in low type "backup [todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Then, the most difficult part.

    The best way to ensure that your work with the right key, select the key that is installation quick palm and press delete on your keyboard. You will be asked, you of course. Say Yes. Do the same for all the keys below.

    If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician.
    BUT do not turn off your computer.

    The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of the theses reg keys won't be here)
    But if they remove them)

    Thanks, JD

    I don't know what you mean by the icon "open with."  It seems that if the previous user was associated with the file extension "DAT" Nero. Instructions to undo this association is at the bottom of this answer.

    The "DAT" file extension is a very common extension.  Most of these files are files 'DATa' and not intended to be opened by the casual user.  You really shouldn't be deleting random files like that.  There is a good reason that you could not remove the ntuser.dat files - it is a part of the Windows registry that specifies a large number of your Windows profile information.

    If by 'Eset' you mean that you have run the Eset online scanner, it's OK.  If you mean that you have Eset NOD32 Antivirus, then you have too many antivirus applications (I delete MS in favour of NOD32, but see the next paragraph).

    Many people would deem prudent to completely reinstall Windows on any computer you get used.  Not sure what's on this computer and this is the case, what you know not certainly can harm you - in addition to a.

    Here are some useful tips of long date MS MVP PA Bear:
    *********************************************************************

    Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything in the list below, in order, before connecting the machine to the internet or a local network (i.e. other computers) and before you plug in a flash, SD card, or any other external computer diskotherwise:

     

    1. Make sure that the Windows Firewall is enabled.
    2. Uninstall all now invalid Norton, McAfee, etc., free version of test which was also reinstalled, run the appropriate removal tool (see below), and then install an application antivirus of your choice (for example, http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/default.aspxMicrosoft Security Essentials- free). [This does not apply to Symantec Endpoint Protection; this product is not likely to have been offered as a "free trial" and the Norton Removal Tool should not be used with seven].
    3. Arrival to Windows Update & get the computer fully patched.


    TIP: Use another and negative computer to download programs for, for example, SP2 or SP3 installation, the installer for your new anti-virus application and or other removal tools cited below. Transfer these files to CD or DVD (not a flash drive) and then transfer the files of the CD or DVD on the desktop of the computer you are using.
