• How can I recover Favorites and passwords after a change of operating system and older programs are listed in a windows.old folder?

  Recently, I had a fatal crash of my Windows XP Pro system. I clean installed Vista (would not allow an upgrade installation), and it offers all my settings and programs in a windows.old folder. I wish I could recover my passwords stored (even if I have to go manually) and my favorites for Firefox. I was running version 4 at the time of the accident of the o/s. Thanks for any help you can provide.

  Just as I expected. Before you follow my instructions, you may need to change your folder options to show hidden files. Now go to:

  C:/Windows.old/documents and Settings / < user on XP name > / Application Data

  And copy the text to the Mozilla folder for

  C:/Users / < username on Vista > / AppData/Roaming/Mozilla

  If the Mozilla folder does not exist, create it.

  Now in C:/windows.old/Documents and Settings / < user name on XP > / Local Settings/Application Data

  And copy the text within the Mozilla folder in

  C:/Users / < username on Vista > / AppData/Local/Mozilla

  Yet once, if the Mozilla folder does not exist, create it and rename it to Mozilla.

  I hope this helps!

• Is it possible to move the \windows\installer folder? The reason why I ask is because it takes a lot of space and I want to move it to another disk with more space.

  The \windows\installer folder takes a lot of space and I want to move it to another drive if possible. Ashwin

  No, I don't think. Just about anything in the Windows directory cannot be moved. You will need to find another way to clear disk space. Try to compress your drive hard (if you don't know how, ask).

• Trying to find my Windows profile folder

• My goal is to be able to handle individual windows 'History' folder addresses as if each was a single data file.

  I use Windows XP (with Service Pack 3) and IE8. My goal is to be able to handle individual windows 'History' folder addresses as if each were a data file.

  Windows effectively extract individual addresses of the 'Historical' invisible system folder and place them in files 'short cut', an address by file.

  I need to be able to reinstall these addresses in the 'History' folder (C:\Documents and Settings\ "profile name" \Local Settings\History) batch. I want to be able to specify what subfolder 'date' in 'Historic' must be installed for, but I want the "Web site" subfolder in the subfolder 'date' to be determined by the software. Batch processing is crucial; the process must be able to extract the Web addresses of thousands of "short cuts" and install these addresses to 'History', effectively, preferably in a single operation.

  This would "roll" addresses to more recent dates in "history before they"expire"by management of the history of IE settings (Tools > Internet Options > Browsing History settings specifying 'Days for which these Pages are kept') or even between different facilities to explore."

  Proper maintenance by the user could allow for recognige to explore a page that has been visited as long as a given computer was in use (e.g., after five years, 1825 days, rather than maxing out to 999 days). Or, as in my case, if we personalise a user profile for a particular task, we spend a lot of time with and Explorer history is an important part of this customization, one could also move the story of a machine one is being scrapped at the profile on the replacement machine. We could keep history for the life of the profile regardless of how many machines it was used on sequentially. We could even keep the profile on several machines at the same time (cabin office, Headquarters Office, laptop,...) and the history of synchronize between iterations of the profile.

  Knowing that a Web page has been previously seen by only a quick look on the link to access the page can be a huge time saver!

  Any suggestion that would allow to extract addresses from Windows 'short cuts' Web pages and reinstall these addresses in the 'History' folder, on a batch basis, would be highly appreciated.

• Trying to remove the folders from Windows one system empty, but in error "is a Windows system folder and is required for Windows work.» It cannot be deleted. »

  My parents bought a laptop from a friend, and recently my father ran an antivirus program that came with multiple files in a folder that has been created by this friend. When you try to delete the folder a box appears that says "it is a Windows system folder and is required for Windows work.» It cannot be deleted. "But all the folders inside are empty and of no use to us. Help?

  The standard answer to questions that begin with «I bought a used computer...» "is you can do a clean install of Windows, because you know not what could be hiding somewhere in the computer.  In this case, it seems as if he is infected with something.

  Legally, the seller was required to give you a way to do this reinstall, but in the vast majority of the private sales of used computers, this requirement is simply ignored.

  If it's a laptop to 'mark' (e.g., Dell, HP, IBM/Lenovo) there may be a hidden partition on the hard drive that can be used to restore the computer to its "fresh from the factory" State.  Of course, this will remove all applications that the previous owner had installed after he or she has bought new, but you should still seriously to consider making such a restore, if the mechanism is available.

  What is the name and the version of the antivirus application that has detected the wrong files?
  What are the names of the files?
  What is the name of the folder that cannot be deleted?
  Are you logged on as a user with the rights "computer administrator" when you try to delete it?

  Assuming that you can not or will not do a clean install of Windows, I suggest the following (do not run scans at the same time, each analysis may take some time, depending on the number of files on the computer):

  Connect as a user with the privileges "computer administrator" and do a full scan with each of the following:

  Hi Dennis,

  I apologize for the delay in responding. These files could be temporary files created during the installation of the updates. However, it is strange that these files are about 4 GB in size. I suggest to run Disk Cleanup, restart your PC and check if the files still exist. See this article for more information about Disk Cleanup:

• I can trash the Windows.old folder?

  If I'm happy to stay with Windows 10, I can delete the Windows.old folder? It contains 126 956 and 30.1 GB files.

  Hello:

  If you are absolutely sure you don't need all the files in this folder and that you're absolutely sure that you do not want to return to your previous operating system (or you have recovery discs that can give in any case), then Yes you can delete the Windows.old folder.

  Here's how...

  Run the disk cleanup utility.  Let him do the disk cleanup window.

  Then on the left side of the bottom of the window, click clean up system files.

  Then he turns again and arrives at the disk cleanup window, and you can check all the boxes to remove the files.  One of them will be the windows.old folder.

• Is it safe to restore the Windows.old folder?

  BACKGROUND:

  I have a Dell Studio 540 in Windows Vista Ultimate which suddenly crashed, then wouldn't restart, saying: "no available boot device." Apparently, the hard drive boot sector had been corrupted. After of the painstaking efforts to save as many as possible training and have unsuccessfully using CHKDSK or Seagate tools to repair the drive, I finally resorted to a clean reinstall using the Dell OEM Windows Vista reinstallation disc. I chose the option to move all old files/folders in a folder Windows.old and I am now able to start Windows. However, all settings prerequisites, programs, files and folders from the previous installation are still in the Windows.old folder. For now, I run a full CHKDSK again (and he says 'Corrupt file attribute Deleting the file record segment X X' so I hope that some repairs happens)...
  But what I would do, if possible and if it will not cause problems, use the instructions in this MS support article "how to restore a computer to a previous Windows installation after you install Windows Vista." But before I do that, my question is the following:
  QUESTION:
  If I had to do a reinstall of Vista due to damage/corruption of the hard drive, and if all what information has been moved to the folder Windows.old during this process, is it possible that restore the folder Windows.old to the previous installation would restore any damage/corruption existed, thus causing the problem to return or make things worse? Or should I not worry about the restoration of the old "problem"?

  Hello

  You can use the restore feature if the previous installation was good.

  It is not in your case; If this isn't an option for you.

  You can use the windows.old folder to retrieve your data.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/932912

  But the programs must be reinstalled form the original media.

  And when you're done with the windows.olf folder you can delete.

  "How to use the disk cleanup feature to delete the Windows.old folder after you install Windows Vista"

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/930527

  And it is perhaps an idea to run Dell Diagnostics and eventually replace your drive hard if it comes up with errors.
