• WHY THE WINDOWS TEMP FOLDER, THE FILES ARE PROTECTED, CAN NOT BE REMOVE?

  CANNOT DELETE THE WINDOWS TEMP FOLDER ALL THE FILES ARE PROTECTED. WHY?

  You can delete all. TMP using Disk Cleanup http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Delete-files-using-Disk-Cleanupfiles.  Of course, it won't delete those in use (not more), so, be sure you have not all open programs using temporary files, if you want to get everything.  The best way to do it is to do the cleanup right after the startup of the system.  The problem with OneCare is that it doesn't give you the option to choose the files you want to delete (as fair. TMP files) - she does everything that it considers unnecessary - and it can take hours to complete because of the antivirus and anti-spyware scans it includes (which can be excluded and drastically reduce the time but it is difficult to resist doing the chore together once you're already there and ready to do maintenance work).

  While you're there, you should consider to optimize your system with http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Optimize-Windows-Vista-for-better-performance.

  What are two tasks that should be part of a good monthly maintenance program to keep your PC/laptop running in peak condition.  There are other steps as well, that I would be happy to break it down if you want to know - but this isn't what you asked, so I'll skip that for now.

  Good luck and I hope this helps! Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

  Hello

  Thank you for the additional information.

  Yesterday, I decided to register on IT * files .tmp on DVD and I removed them from the TEMP directory. I decided to do it because none of the processes they used at the time of my comment. I compared the the event logs for any new warnings or errors, but mistakes are appearing as before removal. The errors are:
  -The parallel port driver service failed to start due to the following error: the service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices is associated to him.
  -Could not load the plug-in module. (GUID = {56F9312C-C989-4E04-8C23-299DEE3A36F5}) (Error code = 0 x 80042019)

  I haven't checked on the first error, but it appears in the system log because I erased the corrupt system log - also before deleting the files.
  The second is well known 'Vaio Entertainment Database Services' error (in the application log) and everyone invites you to remove this service from startup list. So maybe I'll do it.

  My Vaio has now extra 7.5 GB of free space and has no performance or other problems (so far).

  Today, I tried this (sfc/scannnow) system scan and the log is perfectly clean. Nothing has been repaired.
  Also checkdisk returns nothing abnormal so I think the albums * .tmp not fail at any other SW. The other issue is how they were created, but as my log files have been corrupted (another known problem of vista), I will probably never know the answer.

  If new sth will appear on the subject (e.g. new TOP * .tmp files), I'll write again.

  Thank you once again.

• Is it possible to move the \windows\installer folder? The reason why I ask is because it takes a lot of space and I want to move it to another disk with more space.

  No, I don't think. Just about anything in the Windows directory cannot be moved. You will need to find another way to clear disk space. Try to compress your drive hard (if you don't know how, ask).

  Hello

  I installed Windows 7 this weekend with the offer of the student. Whenever I tried to run the Windows Media Center it says that it has stopped working and he's looking for solutions. Is it possible that I can download a fix or download the WMC for Windows 7?

  It depends only on the BONE of the application server.

  If your OS development and OS is different, you have to compile the fmb in the server again.

• files and folders in the windows.old folder missing

  Recently, I updated my windows 8. (a day and a half)

  Today I was moving the content in the folder windows.old to the other locations, (4 ~ 5 h ago)

  Suddenly, after the computer has restarted, the content in the windows.old folder disappeared except for users and windows folders.

  I copy the files from windows.old/Program files and I don't know that I do not delete the folder by myself.

  I read previous posting on similar problems, but that's because they kept their too long files or their disk space was not enough.

  But I have enough space in my C drive and just refreshed 1 ~ 2 days ago.

  I did not drive or any cleaning that is.

  It is unreasonable to a system to remove the backup files after a few days without noticing.

  Please let me know how to solve this problem and to recover these files.

  There are a lot of files in the previous program files, I need to recover the precious.

  Hi Junwhan,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I can understand the importance of data could be in the Windows.old folder and we regret the inconvenience.

  Yes, Windows 8 has a new timer feature which will automatically delete Windows.old files after a period of 4 weeks since the upgrade. The idea is to avoid the waste of space giving you plenty of time to get what you need out of the folder and delete those that sit for months or even years.

  Since it's just been 1-2 days of update process, you can activate the "hidden objects" to see if the Windows.old files appear.

  As you open the file Explorer, click view and check the hidden items

  In addition, if you use third-party antivirus program control the log of activities see if there is any action taken at the time where the files have disappeared.  Most of the antivirus program automatically deletes the default files. You can change these settings, however, it is not recommended.

  If you use the default, Windows Defender (WD) on Windows 8.1 then WD has real-time analysis allow by default. Refer to this link: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/protect/wiki/protect_defender-protect_start/windows-defender-on-windows-8-introduction-and/f1e00106-6687-4efe-9ec0-ed9f72fabb92

  Check the history of Windows Defender:

  1. Type of user interface modern Windows defender.

  2. Click Windows Defender.

  3. Click the history tab, and then click Details.

  4. Check Date and time if you find any virus.

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.
