    Hi Nancy,.

    Encryption of files and folders is a way to protect against unauthorized access. EFS (ENCRYPTING File System) is a Windows feature that you can use to store information on your hard disk in an encrypted format. Encryption is the best protection that Windows provides to help you keep your information secure.

    You can make a folder and then encrypt it.

(I ask that, because Visual Studio is not supported on Windows CE: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=7940)

    In addition, what device OR do you use? What is the fat of your project?

    Thanks for the responses,

  • Computer laptop dv7 takes too long to start

    About two weeks ago, I buy a laptop pavilion dv7-4165dx because I really like the features of the laptop. When I turn on the computer, it took about 10 minutes to start after the initial installation. I got at best buy because I thought it was a faulty hard drive, because any given work very well, at best buy told me that the laptop was fine and had no problems. But I still have the same problem because take laptop about 3 to 4 minutes at the start he crashes in the welcome message, after I typed my password. I have already updated all drivers and BIOS, can someone help me.

    Hello

    I would get Best Buy to replace the notebook that you really shouldn't have these kinds of issues with a whole new machine.  It could be that the Windows image is bad, or some other hardware related issue.  I would definetely get that he replaced however.

    All the best,

  • My laptop HP Pavilion G6 takes so long to start and other issues.

    Hello! I have problems with my laptop, I have a HP Pavilion g6. This isn't an old computer I only got it for less then a year. My laptop takes so long to start. When I turn on the laptop it takes so long to come to the screen where u enter your password and when I type my password it takes so long to come to my home screen and now its freezes sometimes when I throw things like facebook or other things. I tried fixing it by having my laptop for a problem look. He found a problem that I've corrected, but it did not help. I tried google, and he says things like u might have a lot of cookies, junk files, virus or cache etc (I have an anti-virus installed in my computer as well). Very confusing! Its my 1st laptop after a very long period and this information is very confusing to me. If anyone can help!

    Security Essentials scans files as they are downloaded from the Internet, Yes.  In my opinion, no other additional internet security is necessary as long as you practice good habits like not downloading websites you really trust and take seriously the messages of warning and never just by clicking 'allow' unless really trust you him.

    Also on startup programs, you have no need to again use the program. If you disable on this auto start, you can still open the program when you want normally (the only difference is that the program cannot start itself without you more).

  • During computer startup, turn off the power. Do this 5 times, then will start and will remain lit.

  • Windows 7 computer said that the DWM.exe could start not due the windowscodecs.dll file is missing.

    Original title: Windowscodecs.dll missing

    IM using a windows machine 7 and one day, he said that the DWM.exe could start not due the windowscodecs.dll file is missing.

    I don't have to go back, any system restore points

    I ran the/scannow sf in command prompt and it says that the file is corrupted.

    I tried to put the machine in safe mode,

    I tried troubleshooting and software update

    and I tried to download external software to replace the file.

    It also affects the Aero theme, so my background is just a black screen!

    What else can I try that actually work?

    Why we just know it is a virtual machine?  Well...

    Have you looked on your system here to check that the file is actually missing (of course that mine has been replaced):

    I downloaded a file called on my OneDrive:

    64bitcodecs.dll (64-bit version)

    The link to my a drive is:

    https://onedrive.live.com/?ID=EC673DF6F8DFEE84%212368&CID=EC673DF6F8DFEE84

    You must visit my OneDrive, upload this file to a place, you can find, rename it to WindowsCodecs.dll and then copy and paste in your c:\windows\system32 folder (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive).

    When you have done so, check again with Explorer that the file is really there (if it was missing before) and if everything looks good, reboot your system and see what things look like.

  • Windows Defender is disabled, I can't seem to start, and it gives me a popup of error with 0x800705b4 error code

    I discovered that my Windows Defender would not start when I tried to stop another program to run at startup. When Windows Defender window appeared with his link to activate Windows Defender, he does not, and, shortly after, he gave me a pop up window with an error message reading; Windows Defender encountered an error: 0x800705b4. This operation returned because the timeout period expired

    Hello

    If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

    There is nothing to worry.

    Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

    If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually enable Windows Defender (disregard information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):

    "Go to start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Look for Windows Defender.

    Right click and select Properties , ensure that Startup Type is automatic.

    Once modified, click apply and OK.

    Quit and restart your computer. Check the back take the same path to confirm that Windows Defender has started"

    If you want to have additional protection against malware using the version FREE of Malwarebytes AntiMalware:
