Windows Vista - folder icons

Similar Questions

• Windows Vista folder size is 32 GB. How adjust us that to the 15 GB required for Vista installation?

  I have windows vista ultimate 64-bit installed on a 50 GB partition.  The windows folder contains 34.8 GB, about 18 GB is exhausted by the winsxs folder.  I read a lot of the other threads on this topic, but have not yet find a sensible answer.  Buy a bigger hard drive is not an option, not because of costs but because of the weather, the amount of time I have to reload all the software and settings is unacceptable, especially if I have now every two months.  So is there a solution to this problem or not?  Windows 7 suffers the same?  I have to downgrade to XP?  Can I use the same number to install the 64-bit version of XP?

  Hi Luisbon,

  Thank you for visiting Forums answers to Microsoft Windows.

  Given that the installation of the operating system files are present in the Windows folder, it will occupy certain amount of space. The WinSxS folder contains the copy of the file system and other components. If you install many applications for Vista, WinSXS folder may be great because it will require to store multiple copies of the dll to enable multiple applications to run in windows without compatibility issues. If you browse inside, you can look at a lot of duplicate dll, each with the same name. These are actually different versions of the same files that are stored; different programs may require different versions. In short, Winsxs, acronym for "Windows Side By Side," is native assembly cache of Vista.

  However, I have some steps that will help you increase your computer's hard disk space.

  Method 1

  Delete all temporary files from your computer. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. click on the start search box.

  2. type %temp%, and then press ENTER.

  3. delete all files in the temp folder.

  Note: Leave the files that refuse to remove.

  Method 2

  Remove all the temporary files that may exist on CD and DVD burning.

  To do this, follow these steps:

  Delete all files in the folder in folder location to burn C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Burn\Temporary burn and delete all the files.

  Method 3

  Run clean disc of the location (Start) > all programs > Accessories > system tools.

  Method 4

  If you do not use Hibernation you can save space in the space of hard drive as the amount of RAM installed by turning it off. In the run window, type powercfg.exe off h (spaces note both) and press ENTER. To re-enable type powercfg.exe h and press ENTER.

  See the link given below, where the user has had a similar problem.

• Windows Vista. Icons and bar do not list jobs

  So yes... Let me explain my problem here.

  Yesterday, I created one guest and offline account to another, after that, my screen

  became black and unresponsive to everything I pressed. Even after the reboot of my

  computer, the problem persists.

  Now, I had turned off the guest account, through safe mode.

  But in normal mode, icons, task bars have disappeared, but the background and mouse cursors

  remains. I was wondering if this could have something related to the chart or something.

  In addition, I am not able to go to the Task Manager, it goes black screen after I've done crt + alt + delete.

  I use windows vista x64bit

  Please guys, I need help);

  Hi XYC4,

  • You have security software installed on the computer?

  Method 1

  First check to see if the problem persists using the last known good configuration.

  Startup options (including safe mode)

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

  Method 2

  If you still encounter question then start in safe mode then run demarrer start clean, check if it helps.

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Reset the computer to start as usual

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

  (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

  (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  Method 3

  If the previous step fails, then analyze and remove any malware or computer virus infections and check if that helps.

• Animation/Windows Vista network icon?

  im a bit disappointed with how the new icon. Before slot windows XP would only Flash when there is traffic flowing through them, but the new version of Vista flashes randomly. How can I get my network icons to work only when there is current network activity?

  I tried to right click the icon and turn on the animation activity. but nothing happens.

  Please correct this problem in windows 7 please.

  miro2009,
  I'm sorry that you are not satisfied with the way Vista displays the LAN activity.  However, there is not a way to change this.  You are invited to read all about Windows 7 which has a release candidate available for free download.  I don't know if the icon of LAN traffic is different in Windows 7 it is XP.  You can read all about Windows 7 here:

• Display of Windows Vista, the icons and all THE GRAPHICS suddenly pixelated, appear low quality at the highest resolution and colors

  Please help, out of nowhere on my screen - background, all icons, all graphics (including the Explorer and other programs) have become rough and pixelated and seem very low qualty even if my display is set to the highest resolution management settings and color. I've not been able to find a way to restore and have no idea why it is doing this in the first place. It's really bothering me, it's hard to read (text appears fuzzy and broken up, not smooth and sharp, icons have white or another pixelation around them and do not have the 'look of glass'.) I was wondering if one of the old games my children changed my settings somewhere but I've lived every control panel I find and have not been able to correct the problem.  Even the buttons (back, forward, refresh, etc.) in Explorer have bad pixelation. That's happened? Help! :) Thank you

  I would also update the drivers, firmware or software for your monitor at the same time.  Also, if you have another monitor, swap them to see if the problem goes away or moves - then we can pretty much reduce the question to the screen and not the video card (and if the updated drivers do not resolve this problem, then it's a hardware problem and you can either take a workshop of computer service repair or simply a replacement of purchase screen.)

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Is there a way to backup and restore vista layout icon on the desktop?

  Is there a way to save & restore the Windows Vista desktop icons without having to download anything?  Windows has a 'solution' to download I don't know?  Thanks, gator gal

  Hi t-4-2, just wanted you to know that I had my friends icons all back.  She had inadvertently put them in another folder in the office when she tried to pull them to where she wanted.  His vision is not what it was, so it makes it extremely interesting when she tries to deal with the computer.  The magnifying glass that she uses with her mouse helps a little.  In any case, it is almost crossed your fingers when she uses her PC.  Icons disappear, the printer mysteriously stopped working.  I just try to keep its games where she can find them, as well as its image file.  Thanks for your help.  Very much appreciated.

• Dial-up access is connected, but Windows Vista says it isn't.

  Well, I connect to my Dial-up connection and it connects to the internet, but it is extremely slower than it was.  Even if I'm networking Windows Vista connected icon, (computer two on the start to the right bar) has a X on it and when I pass the icon it says: "You are not currently connected to any networks." Now consider this issue further away, I'm heading on in the center network and sharing-> manage network connections-> right click on my connection Dial - up-> State.
  These are the results of Word for Word:

  Connection:
  IPv4 connectivity: Not connected
  IPv6 connectivity: Not connected
  Media state: connected
  Duration: 00:44:33 (important)
  Speed: 9.6 Kbps (Also important)

  However, that's my theory and I ask you guys if I'm wrong or not.  Because my connection is not actually connected to IPv4 and IPv6, it is extremely slow.  Still more slowly than usual Dial-up that's been frustrating me and my family for quite awhile.

  Is there any solution for this?  I'm not using a modem and the phone jack is connected directly to the computer, I checked the wires and I'm sure they're fine.

  All,
  Here are some steps to you all try to fix your network connectivity issues.  Some of you may have tried some of these steps, if so, just do not take into account.  Because there are several people involved in this thread, now I want to put all the possible corrections for the loss of connectivity.

  Important this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
  322756 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756/ ) how to back up and restore the registry in Windows

  Windows Vista cannot obtain an IP address from certain routers or some non-Microsoft DHCP servers

  Click Start, type regedit in the search box, and then click regedit in the list programs.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

• Cannot remove desktop icon in Windows Vista

  I can't remove an icon of a document word on my desk. I first saved this file on my desk and he settled in a folder under "documents". Now, when I try dragging the icon remains on the desktop into the trash or select DELETE from the drop-down below, I get an error message that says "file not found." I tried to put the file on my desktop, but only another shortcut - creates a shortcut that I am able to remove. How can I delete the icon? I wouldn't mind deleting the document if necessary.

  Try one of the following two products: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml or file Assassin http://www.malwarebytes.org/fileassassin.phpUnlocker.  These programs tend to work when the standard functions of delete Windows Vista do not make the case.
