Hello
Since Windows XP, in the last several versions of Windows, there are many changes for the names and locations of some Windows system folders .
To ensure compatibility with older programs, these older cases have been replaced by The junction Points. A junction Point is designed to redirect programs more alumni who are hard coded to look for the former name of folder for the new file name and the location in Windows.
An example is the C:\Documents and Settings folder. The new name and the location of this folder is C:\Users. In Windows 8, you will see a folder C:\Documents and Settings , but it should be noted that this record contains a shortcut arrow on the folder icon. He identifies it as a junction.
Junction points all than its guarantee of value everyone = access denied.
Note: Do not attempt to modify the security settings on a junction. This can cause programs to stop work and possibly corrupt the file system.
Let us know if you have any other questions.

When I start a new message in Thunderbird 38.1, I noticed that there is a "novelty". Thunderbird automatically fits into the To: field with the e-mail address of the person to whom I sent an email. This can have disastrous results, if for example I have a humorous message to a colleague and do not notice that mail from my supervisor is already included. I couldn't find instructions on how to disable this default behavior. Thanks for your help!
I started Thunderbird in safe mode by shift-click on the application icon. I found that the problem has disappeared. I uninstalled the extension 'Identity selector' (version 1.93) and restarted in normal mode and the issue had still gone. However, I then reinstalled identity selector and the issue has yet been set. So, I don't know if simply start in safe mode, then rebooting in normal mode, or if the uninstall and reinstallation of identity selector is what makes the difference.

- the new default tab with the tiles page is on: newtab

The pref browser.newtabpage.enabled must be set to true to use the page defined through browser.newtab.url like the new tab page.
You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.

Hello.
I don't know what I clicked at all initially, but now, most of my programs have been converted to open it with Windows Media Player, so that they cannot work.
Even when I click on the system restore (to undo changes I've done previously), Windows Media Player opens and there will be a window that says that you can not read this .exe file.
I'm stuck and I don't know how else to solve this problem. Help, please!
