What are these files and they deserve to be delete?

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.

Also, change any setting in this regard in Environment Variables.

  • Task Scheduler... What are these tasks and that they planned?

    Initially, MSE does scan automatically as I had planned that he... .and then there is two days, he stopped. I have switched between the options [run while you are logged in, but not using it]... and makes no diff.

    Then... I looked around and stumbled upon Task Scheduler (that I used to twist a lot during my years XP) and was stunned to see 15 tasks scheduled to run on different times and different triggers... indefinitely. I don't know any of them, and I did not had everything, or the other. I noticed that I slowed down when he was running. Then I disabled all.

    48 hours later, my PC doesn't seem different (I expect event catastrophic/s)... MSE is still running is not on calendar (which is quite ok with me, because I decided that I would really rather run it when I want).

    Question: What are these tasks and why they operate indefinitely?... .and that at the request of their? And why disabling does not seem to matter? MSE is responsible for any of them?

    BTW, registration of WMC would prevent Autostart MSE? (Because on the two failed retirements, WMC has arrived to save)

    Hi Coolnewyorker,

    Your question on "that them regular '-the answer is Microsoft.

    Scheduled tasks, include the restoration of the system, Defragmenter to Windows, Windows troubleshooting, Windows Customer Experience. You will also find tasks to check the health of your PC. It's to name a few.

    With regard to disabling them does not make any difference, you might find that not much, if anything, is actually scheduled for work when you really are on your PC. In many cases, most schedules run at about 02:00 or, in the case of everything Microsoft has planned on my machine, it does not at all simply because my system is stopped when the majority of demand is demand - or at least it used to be. Systematically, I went through them and changed the time when I was online so that information to Microsoft are downloaded - for example files that are created when the PC crashes etc.

    About MSE, as most of the applications that run on a schedule, there is a strong dependence on the PC being idle for many minutes before the start of the schedule. If you are running another program, such as WMC in record, the system is not idle, it's registration; so, Yes, WMC record could affect the operation of MSE.

    "When I turn off my computer, I have an icon of" ready to install update "in the upper right of the button 'disable' located between the"stand by"and"restart"buttons. In the past, I would occasionally get one of these notices, but now they happen whenever I'm on the computer.

    Hi Calvin,

    Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft community!

    To be able to understand the question in a better way than to provide you with the exact resolution, I would like to know exactly the problem you are experiencing.

    Ouch! Please do not yell at us. We can hear you if you type normally,
    in different cases.

    Programming software is Visual Studio. If you do not, you do not have

    But to be on the safe side, before deleting, why not burn these

  • can someone tell me what are these boxes and why they keep appearing? I need to restart my computer to get rid of them?

    can someone tell me what they are? they appear only and I have no idea why? I'm on Outlook when they first pop up.

    Those who look like the 'hot tips' helper that popup when you press Alt and you know what keys activate the different menu commands in a program. In fact, they duplicate what I see in Word or Excel 2010 to the H. My order Ribbon typing shortcuts differ after that, but I don't know that one of the programs with a Ribbon menu is their production.

    As to why they are ghosting on your screen, I don't know exactly. You can try to update your computer's video driver to eliminate it as a source of the problem. If the problem is indeed one of the offices of the applications (you should see which program corresponds to these hits of Ribbon tips), try to run the OffCAT (Desktop Configuration Analyzer Tool) found in any one of the following links.

    Microsoft Office 1.2 Configuration Analyzer (Download Center)

    If you cannot determine, or you feel that you need guidance to proceed safely with a resolution suggested a location problem, post back with a progress report. Include all relevant information collected as part of OffCAT, in your investigation; in particular the criticism of the scan report section.
