  • Why Windows backup all files to predefined backup weekly? How can I get to only add additions and changes to the backup files?

    I back up my files to an external hard drive.  Rather than simply add changes or additions, it adds all the files each time, causing the hard drive fills up quickly.  This problem was not always present; It began less than a year ago, so I wonder if it was caused by an update.

  • Why Windows keep moving & hide my files with me?

    original title: make him stop, please stop! Why Windows keep moving & hide my files with me?

    Windows Vista using Media Player 11:

    I am way in music and want to have recorded and named in a certain way.  Sometimes in windows 'Explorer' I group songs into folders according to the albums I create (i.e. mixtures of burning); in this case, I'll keep the names from the same artist and change the name of the album (in properties) that I chose.  As soon as I click on the folder 'Explorer' moves it somewhere, I don't think.  Sometimes things end up in the trash that I know does not recycle.  It also renames my files.  For example, I had a song that I had saved the name of the file is: 01 History.wma; and the rest of the info has been saved in the properties (Album, artist, track number, etc.).  As soon as I turn my head the computer renames it to something that looks like this: 01HistoryAtmosphereSevensTravels - UndergroundRap.wma.  Why it does this and how can I stop it?

  • Why Windows Explorer applies LZW compression in my TIFF RGB 48-bit files?

    OS: WIndows 7 Pro 64-bit

    Hardware: Intel Core i7-2600 with 8 GB of Ram

    Scanning software: VueScan 64 - bit version 9.1.13

    Scanning: PlusTek 7600i

    I scan color negatives and save them to TIFF with RGB 48-bit (16 bits per color).

    The VueScan software correctly saves files without LZW compression LZW does work well with 16-bit "noisy" data-"LZW compression" frequently makes bigger files due to the large number of distinct values that must be added to the dictionary.

    If I use Windows Explorer to change the Date to a file label, it modifies the indicator of Compression TIFF (uncompressed) of 1 to 5 (LZW compression) and applies the compression.  The file INCREASES in size by about 20% (of 95.6 MB to 115.8 MB).

    Now, I understand that it could be argued that Explorer trying to make efficient use of space SO the compression made the smaller file, but what happens in reality is worse than before because the file takes MORE space AND the system now has the burden of "decompression" the file when it is opened.

    Windows Explorer should NOT add compression of TIFF files (or files in my opinion) unless specifically requested to do so.

    Thank you

  • If I have my laptop, is why Windows Defender turned off because of group policy?... What is group policy?

    At the heart of the problem is this business of permissions.  Why solo owners of laptops not affiliated with companies or other computers must be prey to group policy and permissions at every turn.  I tried to turn off the UAC and I couldn't find even a file for group policy, and again I am forbidden to use Windows Defender because of this error message.  Only recently have I won control of most of my files and folders by disabling UAC and passing by claiming ownership of my own software and files.  I guess I really two questions: (1) how can I get rid of this feature to administer unnecessary and, as in the good old days, before Vista came, just use my computer without messages such as "you don't have permission to use this...» "and (2) my second question which dovetailed in the the first is" why the hell did I this stupid message from group policy?  There is no groups affiliated with my Compaq Presario, and in fact, it is not a group on my system folder in the first Subscriber.  I'm not very impressed with Vista or Windows Defender.  I could even ignore these problems, but there is a principle here.  I've read enough Articles to understand that I'm not the only person facing this nonsense!

    You cannot change how permissions work under Vista.  The administrator has certain rights and access; However, even for administrators, several parts of the system do not have access (because they are points of junction to towards the rear compatabiility and must not be changed or your programs do not work or because they are system files, you do not make changes.)  Despite this, some of these areas can still be accessed at your own risk - you may do something that can repair only a clean install), I provided the following information about permissions and ownership (which can help you navigate the system correctly and without causing any damage).

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

    To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

    =======================================================================================================================

    Regarding Windows Defender the most likely reason it is disabled because you have installed an AV or security suite program that does so automatically during its installation (and it was probably necessary for the new software works correctly without causing any problem).  What AV or Security Suite program do you use?

    Regarding group policy, if you wanted to access it go to start / search box and type gpedit.msc and enter and then double-click on the program that appears in the search results.  These AV programs and security can use Group Policy to disable Windows Defender (I don't know how they do it), but it may be there somewhere).  Because re-activate NOT Windows Defender while the other this software is still installed on your system that could cause some conflixts, freezes, crrashes, corrupt and data files and all kinds other problems - it has been disabled for some reason.

    If you want to use Windows Defender, then choose a program or AV security suite which does not disable the Defender during the installation.

  • Why Windows think my Xoom is an ipod?

    When I browse through the files in my Xoom MZ604 using Windows, the screen displays the name, Type, size, title, artist, Album, year, duration. Files are mainly jpeg images, so it would be more useful if I could see name, size, take taken and Tags. That's what displays Windows for my internal and external hard drives.

    Why Windows does not consider the MZ604 in the same way? Is it possible to inform Windows that the Tablet is actually external storage or a separate computer?

  • Windows Search draws BIG > 3GB WINDOWS. EDB file, even when the search service is disabled!

    Search for Windows XP generates a very large WINDOWS. Index EDB file (> 3 GB).  At first, it seemed to be a 5 GB OUTLOOK indexing. PST file *, however, I disabled the indexing service and unchecked the "allow Indexing" box on all disks and uncontrolled all items in the window "Indexing Options".  I rebooted and deleted WINDOWS. File EDB.  A few minutes later, however, the Search Service icon reappeared in the system tray and a WINDOWS. EDB file is growing again on my drive.  The "Indexing Options" dialog box indicates the number of items indexed by incrementing upward, but the window "Included locations" is empty.  While I wrote this paragraph, that 'disabled' Indexing Service has indexed 12 799 points, so even though I followed the steps to turn it off, it is still something indexing.)  How can I disable this service completely so that it will not build a WINDOWS. EDB file at all?

    This PC is a Lenovo ThinkCentre M55 running Windows XP Pro version 2002 with Service Pack 3.  2 GB of RAM, Dual CPU 6300 @ 1.86 GHz

    The bottom line question:

    How can I remove WINDOWS. EDB file and make sure that it does not return & grow?

    My thanks in advance!

    Hi HDL - NYC,.

    I suggest that you remove the KB940157 update that is associated with indexing and check if you can remove the indexing file.

    (a) click Startand then click run.

    (b) copy and paste the following command in the Open box and then press ENTER: appwiz.cpl

    (c) click to select the Show updates check box.

    (d) KB940157 -click, and then click Remove.

    (e) click Finish to restart the computer after the uninstall is complete.

    Thank you, and in what concerns:
