Why change my desktop and delete my Vista files?

Original title: Why Vista change my desktop and delete my files?  I have to do a system restore to get back everything.  How to stop the changes occur?

These changes occur too often, and I don't know how to stop them.  A system restore works, but I'm the only person who knows enough to make one - don't know other people who use this computer on system restore.  What should I do to keep my current settings and files intact?
Thank you.

  • When I download compressed files, they go to the local > temp location, when I extracted all the files, they are sent to the My Documents folder. Can I go to the local > temp location and delete the zip file?

    When I download compressed files, they go to the local level > temp location, when I extracted all the files, they are sent to the My Documents folder. Can I go to local > temp location and delete the zip file? Knowing that I still have the data in the My Documents folder.

    Once they are checked, of course. If you want to keep a backup, you can move the zip file in your documents folder.

    In fact, you can delete everything in the temporary folder that is not currently in use. Best time to do this removal is immediately after the start, before launching other applications.

  • Why the enter, ESC and delete the off key?

    Hi all

    Now that I have the update on my DataGrid and I can select a line using up and down arrows on the keyboard, then I want to confirm my line selection by pressing the Enter key.

    But, my interlocutor on the DataGrid control keydown does not see the entrance, escape and delete keys. Most of the other keys is seen. I can browse the list using up and down keys (and I can see my function in the keydown listener are called).

    It only happens when I check my IDE Flash application. In debug mode, these keys are taken into account.

    My DataGrid is not editable but selectable.

    Any idea?

    How can I do this? I can't find andy function to get the date of a file?

    Thanks for your help

    Hello

    LabVIEW has a function called 'file Info', this will give you the date of last modification. This may be not the same as the creation date. This function is used in a cool example called '\Listbox to the file Explorer Demo.vi' find it with the finder of the example. But as I said the date of data and creation of change cannot be the same. So I made something using the dir command system and exe function. I think that much better. The dir command is documented here http://www.computerhope.com/dirhlp.htm. The result is the attached VI. You may need to change to adapt to you need

  • Is there a way to remove the icons on my desktop without deleting the associated files when right-clicking on the icon does not offer this option?

    Most of the icons that appear on my desk I have download the new application files can be removed without uninstall or remove related files.  But when I right click on the icons that appeared after reinstalling Panda Internet Security and download of Adobe Reader software to date there is no option to remove the icon, there is rather a prompt asking you if I'm sure I want to move the file to the trash - which I did not.  When I look at 'properties', I see that the location for the two is my office.  I'm trying to reduce the visual clutter, is it possible to do?

    Hello

    Click right icon - properties - general tab - Type of file - if it is a LNK then it's only a
    Shortcut and if you DELETE it then only it is removed and the underlying program is not
    affected. To see where the program check the tab shortcut - target:.

    If she is not a LNK and is a. EXE, com, bat and others so if if you delete the file
    (which is not a shortcut) and then the program will not work. Shortcuts usually have ARROWS
    on them in the lower left corner.

    For programs that are stand-a-lone (were copied on the desktop and not installed) you
    can make files elsewhere and copy them (and other parts such as.) DLL or. CFG
    only as examples and some will have no other room) to then remove them from the
    Desktop computer. If you have any programs that were installed on the desktop, you need to uninstall
    them and their re - install elsewhere.

    I hope this helps.

  • Why downloads sometimes fail, and then the same file fails

    I just took to the part where I have to choose update of an article.

    So, I choose the Update command.

    But about 3 to 5 times, the download of the file fails.

    But this doesn't seem to have anything to do with the content of the file like 20 minutes later, the download works fine.

    So my question is why downloads sometimes fail and sometimes sail right through.

    And why, when they try to download, my network connection is a turtle.

  • Best way to sort, organize and delete the RAW files?

    Hello world

    I am looking for a way to simply sort through a series of close to 600 raw on a Mac files.  I'm very new to this, so bare with me :)

    At first, I downloaded the raw files from my SD card in my iPhoto which led to all the files in JPEG format.  So I decided that it was no good, so I tried to put the CR2 files in an organized folder and dragging the file in the preview.  I find that the preview is verrrry slow.  I'm looking for the best way to sift through

    These files and choose the best/remove the worst.  What do you recommend? I plan on changing the files in Photoshop and Lightroom.

    Is there a place in Lightroom where I can get this sort of process I speak of? Or do I have to download another type of organization program offline?

    Thank you

    If you mean the word "out" the process of getting rid of the 'bad' images, and Yes keeping 'good' images, Lightroom can do this as many other programs.

    In Lightroom, you would import the 600 images together, and when the import process is completed (this may take a few minutes or more depending on your computer), then you can scroll through each image and if you decide that it is a 'bad' image that you don't want to keep, press X, then go to the next image. Once this is done, you can delete all the photos that you have assigned X in a single action.

    Other programs will probably allow you to do this "spell" faster, but I can't talk about them.
