Windows 7 Temp profiles hold the trash?

Hi all

We use Windows 7 Temp profiles on our public machines as a simple way to make sure data is allowed between each user session, but they seem to be reatining the trash?

It's not good that naturally, this means that some users will have access to other potentially senstive data.

We have a work around in the form of a group policy on logout that clears the sandbox, but it does not work 100% of the time (a separate issue we are working on our group's policies failed to present sometimes...)

Does anyone know if there is a suitable fix or a patch for it to ensure that the bins are disabled on logout or is the GPO itinerary best bet and we should get right at the bottom of our number of GPOS?

Thank you very much!

  • I have the file under owner/Local Settings / temp which fills up as soon as I move everything to the trash. There now 2743 files it contains. How can I stop this?

    What is this file: owner/local settings/temp, it fills as soon as I put everything in the trash.  At the moment there are 2743 files it contains.

    Hello

    Temporary files are created by Windows that remain on the hard disk due to an irregular output of a Windows session.

    Some programs create temporary files and then leave them - they do not delete. This can happen because the program crashed or the developer of the program simply forgot to add the necessary code to delete the temporary files after the program is done with them. Temporary files left by the programs accumulate over time and can take up a lot of disk space.

    You can delete temporary files from the computer to improve the performance of the computer. Follow the article to the same thing:

  • Deliver the profile of the user - My Documents folder moved to C:\Documents and Settings\TEMP. I can't view or access this folder to copy My Documents back. Help?

    XP Home SP3 on my laptop (no not in network - independent).

    After an Adobe Reader 10 X installed, there is a reboot, and when I logged in the profile that appeared was not mine - it was as if it was a new installation. I looked for my personal documents under My Documents and did not find them. So, I looked for them on the C: drive, found (no not noted where), and copied My Documents to what seemed like the name /my Documents /. After that, I could access my documents by clicking Start-My Documents online. I did another reboot. Now, after login, my old profile is displayed, and the My Documents folder is empty except for the value by default my pictures, my music, my videos, and favorite - and these are all basically empty.

    I then ran a program Search and Recover to find my documents - they were found under C:\Documents and Settings\TEMP\. Unfortunately, I can't seem to see that to explore (I have it configured to display the hidden files and folders). Is it possible to go to this folder and the moving my Documents back to my profile?

    Note: When you are finished troubleshooting, follow the steps as explained in the article to reset the computer to start as usual.

    Method 2:

    System Restore takes a "snapshot" of critical system files and some program files and the registry settings and stores this information as restore points. If your computer is not working properly, you can use these points to return Windows XP to a previous state when your computer was working properly restore. It can also change scripts, batch files, and other types of executable files on your computer.

  • How can I add the name of the current profile to the window title?

    Environment: Windows 8.1, Tbird release both (x 64) daily.

    For performance reasons, I need more than one profile of Tbird running concurrently. I don't see an easy way to determine which window is running what hover profile taskbar Windows or the CoolSwitch (aka Alt + Tab). In most cases, there is enough information in the title tag that can help, but for various reasons, that I might have the same email address in more than one profile.

    Firefox has a nice add-on called view profile, which precedes the name of the profile for the title. However, it is not compatible with Tbird. I would like to do something similar.

    I tried the Add on Titlebar Tweaker, but it does not work. (I have not yet sent the Director). It would be fair that I quite understood yet what needs to be done.

    The search on the Internet finds several people with the same desire, but suggestions to answer, or, worse yet, allows to answer a different question.

    I am open to the update userChrome.css or other files manually in each profile.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Read the paragraph 2nd here and see if the add-on does what you want.

  • After putting the profile folder in the trash and delete, I reinstall Firefox and get the 'missing or inaccessible profile' and cannot use firefox.

    I started having the "it's embarrassing, impossible to find the website of your last" whenever I started Firefox. This happens even my preferences always says go to the home page. I deleted the folder of Firefox and re-installed application part. It did not work. Then, I deleted the folder 'profile' for firefox and then emptied the trash, so I can't get it back.
    Now when I try to reinstall Firefox, I can't access the new installation of Firefox because I always 'no profile folder exists or is inaccessible.

    If you return to the location of your previous profile folder (I hope that you back up your bookmarks at least?) and navigate to a level to the Firefox folder, you can find a text file called profiles.ini which always points to the folder that is now gone. To help Firefox to forget the old profile, you can try to rename or delete this file and restart Firefox. Does it work?

    Also, I read in another thread that the error you received is caused by a bug where you exit Firefox, when there is no more open pages. The solution is to quit smoking at least a page open.

  • Click and hold the windows bar blocks the execution of LV

    Hi guys

    I have a real time data acquisition application which usually is runnning full screen, and as such, I have encountered this problem before, but now we have moved to a scalable scheme and it becomes a problem...

    When you click on and hold the bar title of a VI running windows, LabVIEW hold completely running the application for a second round... To be more specific: If you just click on it and move the window instantly is not a problem, but if you click and hold the left button on the title bar of the windows of the VI / .exe running, execution stops for nearly a second.

    For acquisition of data in real time, it's quite a long time to strangle the reading process.

    I tried this on two different brands of PC and I can reproduce at the same time.

    Does anyone know what causes this behavior and, eventually, how to work around it... VI has been tested on XP and LV 8.6.1

    PNG joined something 'very complex' code to illustrate the problem

    Thanks in advance.

    This question has been asked before, and Lynn provided the same advice that I was about to suggest - create a separate UI than the DAQ VI VI so that they function as 'independent' (I use that Word loosely) process. The DAQ VI acts as a loop of producer supplying the consumer UI VI, where the 'buffer' that is allowed to fill in between is a queue, not the buffer very limited hardware.

    Sorry to break the news, but if you want to solve this problem, probably as the only solution is to have several VI for your two processes. (By the way, I am able to confirm the delay of 500-600msec when clicking on the title bar in Windows 7 Windows uses a very recent version of LabVIEW)

  • How to remove the trash on my computer dell laptop latitude who has windows xp?

    I am an elderly person not at savvy, computer then pls forgive me for asking what may seem like a stupid question. I need to know how to clear the trash on my laptop. It's a Dell latitude Windows xp. And I thank you all in advance for any help rendered on this!

    There are several possibilities.

    If the file is on a network resource or a removable device like a USB key, just delete Deletes without going through the trash.  It sounds like what is happening in your situation (which is your "DVR photo/video plug and play" device?).

    Look carefully at the message when you press the delete key - he probably said, "Are you sure that you want to delete 'Filename'?" rather than "Are you sure that you want to send 'filename' in the trash?

    Another, less likely, causes:

    If the file is too large, you should get a message saying that the file will not fit in the trash and delete will delete everything without moving to the trash.  I don't think that I've never seen a 'too big' file is to be deleted without the warning message.

    What is "too big"?  By default, the Recycle Bin is set at 10% of the size of your disk (partition).  If you go into my computer, you will see different drives displayed.  In general, you will use 'drive Local (c) '.  If you right-click on this icon and select Properties, you will see the used space, free space and capacity.  Your trash for this default player is 10% of the 'capacity' - but with a catch: he will not exceed 3.99 GB no matter how great the drive.

    You can see the actual amount of the space allocated to the trash by clicking right on it and then select Properties.  Depending on the number of drives in your computer, you can see several tabs here, including a 'Global' tab and one for each individual unit.

    A more even less likely cause:

    In addition to size, the Recycle Bin properties tabs also have a box that says "do not move files to the Recycle Bin.  Delete the files when they are deleted immediately.  I doubt that you have this box checked, because then the behavior you describe should occur for all files, not just some of them.

  • No matter what file/program I open and work will appear later in the trash & Windows create a lot of restore points.

    (1) any file/program I opened and work with / appears later in the trash even if I did not remove it. The file or the program remains in its original folder and nothing happens to her, I can work with him when I want.
    (2) Windows creates so many "restore points" that once a month I have to delete "all except the last" in order to have my program anti-virus (PC-Tools) are working properly.  Is there a cure for this?

    You did the right thing by turning SR off on your external drive.  See http://bertk.mvps.org/html/tips.html#11

    There is no need to have the system restore check a partition which contains only data files.  Http://bertk.mvps.org/html/description.html (this is emphasis added)

    About the system restore

    • System Restore monitors changes to the system and saves the State of the system as a restore point. If a system problem occurs following a change of system, the user can return the system to a previous state by using a restore point data.
      Applications and the system can create restore points when changes made to the system occur. System Restore also creates checkpoints every 24 hours of absolute time. In addition, users can create manual restore at all time points.
    • System Restore does not restore user data or documents, so it will not cause users to lose their files, email, browsing history or Favorites. System Restore is also provided to users in safe mode, making it easier for them to reclaim their computers before that happens the problems. Note: a system of Safe Mode or restore the command prompt a cancellation restore point will NOT created!

    The monitoring system

    • System Restore monitors and restores a set of file system and application, the States of these files before the change of the archiving system. System Restore also records a snapshot of the registry (Note: some current registry values will persist) and some dynamic system files. When the System Restore detects that the user is not actively using the computer, (idle time) he compresses the registry and copies of any file made.
    • System Restore requires a minimum of 200 MB of free disk space on the system drive during the installation. When the amount of falls of free space on the disc below 50 MB on ANY monitored drive, System Restore goes into sleep mode and continues to create restore points. All restore points are deleted at that time. System Restore reactivates and resumes create restore points from 200 MB of free disk space on the system drive.
    • Files that are monitored or excluded from the monitoring are specified in the file % windir%\system32\restore\Filelist.xml. For more information, see Monitoring of file Extensions.

    You cannot use them with the same profile, but you can copy the user profile to B.

    See here for more help: to copy a user profile

    You must be logged in as an administrator to do and you can't copy to or from the account to which you are connected.  If you want to copy the profile to the profile B, you need to be connected on that C and C must be a member of the Administrators group, you will have to create this account C if it is not already available (or use the built-in Administrator account).
