• How to clear the Windows.edb file in Windows 8

  DISPLAY TO THE CLIENT ACCOUNT *.

  The customer has a PC under Windows 8, and he wondered how to remove the Windows.edb file. He recorded 60 GB of information. Is it possible to have the option of Windows search and have this file shrunk down to the size? Is it possible to empty this folder? Anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with this problem?

  Please respond with more information.

  Thank you very much for the help!

  I just had this problem myself, with a clue consuming 107/278 GiB!

  Here's the trick:
  (1) search for "Indexing Options" (under "settings"). Open it.
  (2) search for 'services' (or run "services.msc") and find "Windows Search". Stop the service.
  (3) remove the Windows.edb file
  4) click on "Change" in the Panel "Indexing Options" already open, then click on "Erase and rebuild" for the index. You can also specify another drive to store the index on.
  Hope that helps.

• WINDOWS CALENDAR DOES NOT WHEN THE COMPUTER TURNS

  Hi guys:

  I'm having a problem with Windows Calendar. In the past, when I had an appointment for a date, the calendar would turn on automatically to remind me, as soon as I turned on my computer. Recently, this has changed. Now, I can always make an appointment, but if I'm not manually in calendar, it will not attract me, the way that it used to. Obviously the parameters have changed. I don't have any idea on how to solve this problem. Can you guys please help?

  Sincerely,

  Rachael

  1. Press + R to view the race box.  Type : startup of the shell and click OK to open the startup folder.
  2. Open your menu start, find calendar and drag it into the startup folder.

  You are finished.  Now, it runs automatically when you connect.

  I'm running on Mac OS X 10.7.4, Firefox 14.0.1. This problem did not exist until this last update of Firefox. Basically, a preferences panel opens each time data is entered in a field. It doesn't seem to be the same preferences panel you see when you open preferences through normal access Firefox, IE. Firefox > Preferences. All the choices listed in this special preference pane are specific to Firefox. I have a screenshot that I could include if wanted. When you use the pane appears when you enter a search in the search bar near the address bar of 1Password the task pane opens, when entering data in any field because I am now filling in this report in detail pane also appears. It's pretty boring. Any advice? I will try systematically to leave any add-ons and see if that makes a difference. I have ave tried to do a reinstall without result.

  Isn't it always the case if you disable the other extension except 1Password?

• SFC scan reports sidebar.ini and source file as a corrupted file even after the installation of WIndows Vista repair.

  Hey, I'm Ryan.
  I am running windows vista 32 bit and I get 2 files corrupted when I run SFC - they relate to the windows sidebar (sidebar.ini and store source file is also corrupted). I did a repair installation, and this always happens when I run the SFC.

  1 - is this going to cause any problems to my laptop if I leave it alone?
  2 could it be related to a virus?
  I'm sorry for the questions, but I'm confused as to how this happened... Any help would be appreciated.
  Thank you very much.

  1 NO.

  2 NO.

  This SFC message could be caused by the manufacturer of the computer adding gadgets to the sidebar before installation of Windows for you, or some other change to the sidebar gadgets
