Why not forget the Windows folder settings on reboot?

Recently, when I reboot or restart Windows XP, my favorite folder view (details) setting has disappeared and shows icons. I continue to go to Folder Options > view > apply to all folders and this reset (of I put in a folder view to view details). What could be the problem?

Today, it got worse. He starts to show the contents of the generic file as the custom music option, and more when I select the folder and put it back in credits, there is a type of music. Arrrgh.

[I keep HD in good shape: regular defragmentation, lots of extra free space, run disk once utility check per month (with option r) and install all Windows updates.]

See if this article helps you with your problem:

"The changes in the size, the view, the icon or the position of a file are lost"

  • Why first changing the Windows 7 display settings?

    Hi all

    I am running Windows 7 on a brand new i7, two monitors and a nvidia Quadro 4000. I have most of the Windows display settings (Aero-stuff) turned off to speed up Windows performance.

    When I opened the first, first changes the windows settings - something - display. Both monitors flicker black and the Windows taskbar change color and opacity, as if someone had gone in the command menu customize and changed my look colors and display.

    The question is this - because the first is changing my display of the Windows desktop, other programs are still using the previous (correct) display settings. Causing other programs to crash whenever I try to alternate between them. It translates into me being able to run the first to him alone, which significantly slows the multitasking.

    WHY FIRST CHANGE MY SETTINGS IN WINDOWS?

    Better yet, how can I stop this? I can't find any project, General or sequence settings that give any hint.

    If I need to change the settings of Windows customization to match first is to choose himself, it's good, but I still need to know what are these parameters, so that all programs use.

    Thank you

    -Matt

    I use a full Win7 Aero desktop computer on my Quadro 4000.  I had a problem similar to yours; "Aero" turned off when Pr and then open 'Aero' turns after the release of Pr.  If you go to the NVIDIA Control Panel, under Management 3D settings, on the global settings tab, select a color deep for 3D applications and assign the disable.  Then check that Pr uses this setting by looking at the Pr entry on the program settings tab (if the Pr does not list programs you can Add this).

  • "Due to a problem not identified, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings" when you try to change the Windows Firewall settings.

    Original title: WINDOWS firewall

    I GET A MESSAGE WHEN I TRY TO CHANGE THE WINDOWS FIREWALL SETTINGS - "DUE TO A PROBLEM NOT IDENTIFIED, WINDOWS CANNOT DISPLAY WINDOWS FIREWALL SETTINGS. HOW CAN I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?

    IN ADDITION, I USE AVG INTERNET SECURITY 2013 AND THAT THE FIREWALL IS ENABLED AND I SEEM TO BE PROTECTED.

    Documentation AVG Internet Security 2013 States:

    Recommendation:

    Generally it is not recommended to use more than one firewall on a single computer. Computer security is not enhanced if you install several firewalls. It is more likely that some conflicts between these two applications will occur. Therefore, we recommend that you use only one firewall on your computer and disable all others, thus eliminating the risk of potential conflicts and problems related to this.

    You can read the AVG documentation by clicking on this link, and see section 6.5:

    http://AA-download.Avg.com/filedir/doc/AVG_Internet_Security/avg_isc_uma_en_2013_06.PDF

    So, if you are using AVG firewall, it's wise to just disable the XP firewall for more than a firewall running at the same time can lead to performance problems.  Choose one or the other, but not both.

    I thought installing AVG would understand this by itself, and you know what to do (used to) but I do not want to install AVG to see.

    (1) you're obsessed with cleaning the Windows folder (and all the others.)  A compulsion.

    (2) you are trying to free up as much space as possible for some reason any.

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

    -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
    -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
    -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
    -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

  • Free space on the C drive. How big should the Windows folder (normally) be?

    I have a HP desktop with a 90G hard drive for drive C with 74G of real ability.  Drive C is now available 1.02 G.

    I've already moved all documents on an external drive to free up space and I have more left to move.  The Windows folder has 54G with 35253 files and 3437 files.  I have Disk Defragmenter and disk cleanup which reduces the Windows folder by less than 1 G.

    What is 'normal' for Windows size, if there is such a thing?  How can I make smaller windows?   I have no idea of what files are in the windows can be deleted.  Any ideas?

    Thank you!

    This is not true.

    The %windir%\system32\spool\PRINTERS file is supposed to contain jobs waiting to be printed.  This is the print spooler.

    This suggests two things: either you have malware files in that folder (which seems unlikely), or you send print jobs to a printer to be connected to your computer, but now is not.  When you realized that a job does not print, you re - sent to the correct printer.

    In all cases, follow these steps, which will empty this folder (and make your system perform better).

    A. Clean on print jobs pending

    • Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
    • Type the following in the black command prompt window, and then press ENTER after each line

    net stop spooler
    del/q '% windir%\system32\spool\PRINTERS\*.* '.
    net start spooler
    output

    Once you do this, go to printers and faxes and uninstall all of the printers that you no longer need... and remember that the default printer (the one with the box) is the one which is effectively connected to the computer.

  • Could not start the Windows Vista firewall

    Hi all

    I can't start the Windows Firewall service in anyway.

    I can't open it via Control Panel, as it is said simply: "the Windows Firewall settings cannot poster because the asscioated service is not running. You want to start the Windows Firewall service? »
    I click "Yes", then he said: 'Windows cannot start the Windows Firewall service. There is no error code indicated.
    I tried running "wf.msc" using the Microsoft Management Console. When this window appears, he says: "there was an error opening the Windows Firewall with advanced snap-in security.; The Windows Firewall with Advanced Security snap could not load. Restart the Windows Firewall service on the computer that you are managing. "Error code: 0x6D9.
    As it seems, I can not start it this way or the other.
    I pressed Ctrl + Alt + Delete and click on the Services tab, then click services on the bottom, and this opens the Services window.
    In the new Services window, I try to start the service "Windows Firewall". I get a message saying: "Windows could not start the Windows Firewall service on the Local computer.; Error 1068: the dependency service or group could start. »
    Therefore, it does not. The service is set to automatic.
    I found another process called 'Base filtering engine', which I discovered is related to the use of the Windows Firewall service.

Error 0 x 80320009: an object with this GUID or LUID already exists. »
    Still, I can't find a way to fix the problem. In addition, the service is set to automatic.
    So if someone could help me, give me ideas or tell me how to solve the problem, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
    P. S. sometimes, when I type things in the command prompt, I get a message saying that "the requested operation requires a rise." What it means

    How to remove an email address that appears with a Contact name, but is not in the Windows Contacts?

    How to remove an email address that appears with a Contact name, but is not in the Windows Contacts?

    It's called "AutoComplete".
    Windows Mail remembers the LAST 29 names that you used for emailing.
    Next time when you type, say, B in the column to, Windows Mail the research paper and displays a list of names began with the letter B. The list may include names not in your contact list, but you sent e-mail to the names.
    That must be the reason why you saw an address that was not in your contacts list. You have sent an email to this address.
    Remember, Windows Mail keeps only the last 29 names. So finally the 'undesirables' addresses will be gradually.

    If you want to delete ALL AutoComplete entries, here is a link to simple instruction:

    I am running win 7 64 bit and OpenVpn still connect at startup, but is not in the startup folder. It remains in my taskbar on the low right. I use it occasionally when I am engaged in international voyages and need a connection to the United States. I already checked the startup folder and I have nothing in there.
    Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    I had already tried this and it is marked as disabled. I can't understand this.

    It could be launched as a service, visible on the Services tab in msconfig. Be sure to hide all Microsoft services front to disable all other services. I would also create a Restore Point and burn & test a Windows repair CD.
