Working on desktop with any app, it jumps to taskbar within 10-15 seconds, it is under the icon of Firefox. Clicking on the icon of Firefox on the taskbar reinstates the program on the desktop but the same transfer happens in the next 15-20 seconds to the taskbar again and again. Same with...

whs, thanks but the Description Tab says: "The built in Registry cleaner....", so it "touches" the Registry

I have 109,522 files (122,143 folders) in my Temporary Internet files in the C:\users\my name\AppData\Local\Temp folder hugging 5.14 GB and slowing down the performance. When I try to delete those temp files: Message: they are system files and deleting them will interfere with Windows. What are...

PDFReader, Adobe Reader X, PDFlite are in my PC. Any time I download a pdf file (like an instruction manual) from the Internet, I get a ghost image makes it very difficult to read the original text and images

Most of the time when I right click on a folder either in C: or F: which is a Seagate aux drive, Explorer stops working (drop down window message "Windows Explorer stopped working" and next message "W Explorer restarts"). I have to start Explorer again from the Taskbar. It means that I do not...

All right, after vacation I have to restart this issue: Now it does not matter which drive (C :/ or F:) same problem, many time Explorer stops and restarts when I right click on a folder. Followed all advises in this thread except messing with registry, but I created a restoration point...

Thanks Titanic. It doesn't. As a matter of fact, quite often, when I right click on a folder, Explorer stops working (warning drop down) and restarts Explorer.

My external drive on F: is a Seagate Goflex. A list of folders contain my backups but when I right click on a folder the drop down window does not contain "New" so I can not create subfolders. But when I right click on an empty space, the drop down window has New and I can create and rename new...

Thank you Titanic. I checked the registry subkey as you recommended. It is correct. In Windows Explorer when I get to the list of files-folders in the F: drive right clicking on any folder does not produce a "New" in the new drop down window. But if I right click on an empty field, the drop...

Sorry bassfisher, than what? Clicking on the F drive, the list of folders appear in the drive, but right clicking any folder provides a drop down window without "New" so I can not create a subfolder.

Windows 7 Pro. Go Flex Drive attached, it is F: Going into F: with Explorer. Clicking on a folder, OK. But when I right click on this folder trying to create New > Folder, message: "Windows Explorer stopped working" and next: "Windows Explorer restarting". How can I create a subfolder...

Thank you Saltgrass; I checked the "include" line, all it does to repeat the folder names including those thousand files. Actually, what is a "node" folder? I am not a PC savvy person, so a step by step kind of info would be greatly appreciated. Anyhow, I copied the whole "Music" Library folder...

One of the four basic Libraries is Music. I found thousands (yes!) files in that Library, most of them I have no idea about and have absolutely nothing to do with music. Windows said they are references and deleting them will not remove the actual file from the PC. I found that incorrect, I...

Thank you bassfisher6522. What I need is not more (an other e-mail program) but less. No connection to Facebook, Twitter not even to my cell phone. I am probably one of the dinosauruses, for me the simpler the better. So a step forward must have very strong reasons. The recent step from XP to 7...

Windows 7 Pro. What is the important difference between Windows 7 Live Mail (came with the PC- Sony VAIO) and Hotmail (I had to sign up on a cruise ship). Whatever I do on Livemail appears in Hot mail as well, like all incoming e-mails are entered in both except when I clear the Live mail...
