Why don't I have as many files XP update [start / Control Panel / Add or remove programs / currently installed programs and updates]
Trying to clean up the hard drive, among other things, I found the following in files
XP [start /control Control Panel / Add or remove programs / currently installed programs and updates]
22 updates for ms office 2003 dating from 22/01/2007.
8 updates for the 2007 office system compatibility pack that goes back to the 10/02/2010
190 updates for Windows XP, which dates back to the 29/06/2006
6 updates for windows xp media center edition 2005, which dates back to the 29/06/2006
Are all these necessary, and if not, how can I do to clean them?
Thank you.
Hi Renee-me,
I recommend that you do not uninstall the updates that are installed on your computer.
Windows Update makes the secure PC and helps run smoothly.
For more information, refer to this link: Windows Update
We suggest to delete the Windows updates only in troubleshooting an issue that may have been caused by an update. Refer to KB 310312 for more information on how to use the disk cleanup to free up space on the hard disk.
Hope the helps of information.

I guess that this computer has never been maintained. Of course, you must delete the files in the Temp directory. You can use CCleaner to clean up, but cannot use cleaning tools. Do not use Registry tools.

I have windows xp service pack 3 and internet explorer 7
Hi dollarsfor6,
Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.
In most cases if the games are deleted from the computer files will remain on the computer.
I suggest that you are looking for game files in the system32 folder.
Click on Start menu later click on run and type c:\\windows\system32 in the following search of the window for the file of games like free cell. If you get the files in the system32 folder then copy the file to c:\\program files\start menu\ later in the game folder.
If fails it above step, try a system restore to the point when the game was available on the computer.
See the link below to learn how to perform the system restore.

Laptop HP ENVY 15 TS: why don't I have so many partitions
I have 6 partitions on my computer windows 8.1 and I wonder if I need all and I can remove all.
The first is a healthy 400 MB (recovery Partition).
The second is a 260 MB Healthy (EFI System Partition).
The third is my primary partition.
The fourth is a healthy 505 MB (recovery partition).
The fifth is a healthy 450 MB (recovery partition).
The sixth and last Partition Recovery My 23.78 GB NTFS healthy (OEM Partition)
Can someone help me?
Hi jmfoss,
Weolcome to the hp support forums
The reason for so many partitions is the following:
Your partion first and second are used to start the system.
3rd partition is you your main partition where Windows is installed.
Your fourth, fifth and support partitions that contain third-party software that are installed on the spot.
The final score is were are software hp is installed during reimage system.
When you press F11 and enter HP Recovery Manager will use the fourth, fifth and sixth partition to reimage your system.
Hope this helps,

In "Add or remove programs' done 'change '?
I am trying to run Combofix and it want me to have the updated Recovery Console which I think has something to do with "Service Pack 2, 3.0" I tried the update section, but it says that everything is up to date. So I chose change in Add or remove programs and something happened, but I do not know what? Laughing out loud.
Hello
Change = repair, most of the time. Although sometimes it is just another menu to uninstall, etc.. It is usually labeled in three ways - modification, repair, change / repair.
Kind regards

I am the administrator of my new computers. I just upgraded from XP to Windows 7. Why don't I have access to all parts of my computer? i.e. folders in documents and settings, etc. How can I change this?
I am the administrator of my new computers. I just upgraded from XP to Windows 7. Why don't I have access to all parts of my computer? i.e. folders in documents and settings, etc. How can I change this?
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.

Is it possible to prevent or remedy to have too many files in the DCIM folder?
Is it possible to prevent or remedy to have too many files in the DCIM folder? In a group of friends, when you view folders DCIM iPhone in Windows 8, three of us have many, many files (such as 101APPLE, 327APPLE, 328APPLE). Phones concerned: 5 c, 6: 6. Some have only one photo per file, some files have just a few pictures. In addition, two friends have files dated 1969. I think everyone has the most current ioS. What is the cause and is at - it a way to overcome it?
No, it isn't. The DCIM and its content was never for public use to shoot photos and videos.
Here's the right way to go about it.

Why don't I have to use Ctrl + Alt + Delete to use my computer?
My PC starts directly from the windows 7 desktop. How ever I can not click on the Start button. If I open a desktop application I can't click any function on it once it is open.
To have access to my PC, I have to Ctrl-Alt-Delete. So I have to left click anywhere on the screen (not any text or button). Then I can click on the Cancel button. Once I did, I can use my programs as usual. I have to do this every time I start my PC. This problem exists from the outset, even though I have repeatedly re-installed Win 7 as a 32-bit and a 64 bit OS. Since the first office sometimes.I have also not drag and drop functionality. I can't drag my around my office desktop icons, for example in the trash. This was not always the case and it takes place after the service of some or other update. I spent this morning of uninstallation of updates as much as possible, until finally after a reboot, I could drag and drop from the desktop icons.A program that was unaffected by the problem of drag / move is iTunes. I can drag tracks/albums from iTunes to a windows Explorer folder, but not a file Explorer windows to another. I have to use the dialog box copy - paste on the right click of the mouse.What this problem is, it also affects Google Chrome by preventing the features left click on any of the control buttons. By clicking a new tab, close...I'd appreciate a lot any input on that.My best regards,DuncanLooks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and start safe mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan mode without failure. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.
-
You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE, then click on run as administrator. Then from the command prompt, type sfc/scannow.
-
Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.
`
When you get your system in good working condition, I invite you to back up your system up to an external hard drive and it puts regular periodic updates.

Why don't security browser Avira displayed when I search modules in the Add-ons Manager page?
Why don't security browser Avira displayed when I search modules in the Add-ons Manager page?
If I search in google, it appears in the list of results, and it displays a add to Firefox"" button.
However when I click on the "Add to Firefox" button, I get a message "Firefox prevented this site from asking you to install software on your computer" with the button authorize. Why is this and is - it safe to click the allow to install this extension?
Hi Roberto2525, through the Manager of addons you will only find extensions that their developer chooses to host with mozilla / addons.mozilla.org, addons not they want to distribute themselves.
the warning message you are seeing is normal and is displayed before the installation of each addon. as the firefox addons are always free to do almost everything that is possible, you must install the addons which authors you trust (extensions hosted on addons.mozilla.org are carefully controlled until they are published).
from 41 firefox, firefox will require that hosted also outwardly need addons must be signed by mozilla, after what they've been through a few basic checks. so, if you install the extension avira and it says something like "could not be verified for use in firefox," then if please contact avira as well and ask them to get their signed addon: signature of the add-on in Firefox
