  Delete Windows.old on your C: drive

  Usually, but not always, after installation of Windows 7 you have a Windows.old folder on your C: drive that contains your files and data from the previous installation of Windows and allows you to go back to a previous version of Windows. Open Windows Explorer and under 'Computer' click the C: drive - if the Windows.old folder is on your hard drive, it will contain all of your files to the Windows system, and it can be removed if you do not need to free up space on your hard drive.

  If she's not here, make sure you can see the Windows.old folder:
  1. click on start, type: hidden
  2. click on 'display the hidden files and folders '.
  3. Click to select "show the hidden files and folders".
  4. click OK and look for the folder
  (Note: when you go back and uncheck the "Show files and folders")

If you need all the files, you can copy them to another folder and then delete Windows.old. If you do not need anything in the folder, it is safe to delete.

• error message "Windows cannot remove the password. "Password policy or account require the account has a password.

  original title: remove administrator account or remove password

  I am trying to remove a user administrator account or remove the password and I get the error message below. Also, I can't delete the password as an administrator in Windows 7 32 bit or delete the account. I get this error message "Windows cannot remove the password. "Password policy or account require the account has a password. I tried to create another admin account, but it does however not take away the password or delete the account else

  Someone has put a policy on your machine to enforce some rules for passwords. Best is to ask that person to change these rules for you. Alternatively, you can run gpedit.msc, then follow this path to edit yourself: Local computer policy / Computer Configuration / Windows settings / security settings / account policy / password policy.

  Note also that:
  -You cannot delete the built-in Administrator account.
  -Administrator with a blank password accounts is a big security risk.

• My XP Home Edition has been plagued by a ghost at startup window since I removed the Bing toolbar.

  My XP Home Edition has been plagued by a ghost at startup window since I removed the Bing toolbar.  The window title bar is simply labeled "Microsoft" and the window is empty.  I think that this problem is related to a very slow start.  I have this problem have fought for almost a year and cannot locate the source.

  Any help would be much appreciated.

  original title: Ghost at startup window

  The window title bar is simply labeled "Microsoft" and the window is empty.

  It appears in the Applications tab of the Task Manager?   If so, use with the right button go to the process about which app it is.   If the name of the Image doesn't have a clue you could also use ProcExp to see what is the command line.  (Press Ctrl-Shift-Esc to start TM.   Other OS show the command line in TM, but I don't think that makes XP.)
