When updates are performed on the computer, they take a lot of space. Why the ancients are not deleted?

All updates.

The update uninstall method in Windows Vista is quite different from that in Windows XP.

Uninstaller for each update folder no longer exists in Vista and the uninstall information is stored by the Volume Shadow Copy service.

After each update, Volume Shadow Copy service backup only the updated files.

So with Vista, it's a differential backup, rather than a full backup files for uninstall
in Windows XP.

This safeguard mechanism is used to save disk space.

    Update for Windows7 (64-bit) detects new updates and works perfectly in manual mode using the function update BUT do not perform the automatic updates or displays the Update icon in the notification bar when updates are available.

    I recently did a factory reset on my computer and saved all my files on a flash drive when I load them onto my computer, they look all as internet files explore instead of dreamweaver files, please, help?

    They probably had the IE icon because Windows automatically associate with IE html files.

    It is of no consequence for your work in Dreamweaver, but you can change this association if you wish.

  • should I turn the printer off when you are not using it?

    you just buy new printer - HP envy 5530 - need to know if I need put it off when you are not using it or if it passes in mode "sleep"?  other printers I had went to sleep mode however cannot locate this answer in the FAQ - like entry - thanks ~ ) husband

    Welcome to the mgchandler forums,

    I saw your post on want to know if you should be powered down the printer or if it won't fall in the mode 'sleep'. My best advice would be to turn off the printer by the power button if it will not be used for a period of time, for example during the night. Regards the mode "standby", the printer goes into standby after 5, 10 or 15 minutes of inactivity.

    • To change the settings for sleep mode, go to the front screen of the printer and press settings (wrench)
    • Contact preferences
    • Press the arrow down and on Standby Mode when you see
    • You can now change the time of mode 5 to 10 to 15 minutes before

    User - Guide Page 93 + 94 for Info Sleep Mode

    I hope I helped answer your question!

    Have a great Tuesday
