YES that worked. You're a genius! Thank you so much!!!!

This is happening with one specific word doc (a book of mine) over last few weeks. It will open but I cant delete, rename or move it. I really need to get rid of it as it is preventing me from saving newer versions - even if I alter the name for the new version!!. It seems like it is picking up...

Yay!! That was it. THANK YOU EVERYONE A MILLION TIMES OVER. It had created heaven knows how many System Restore points but when I went to a Systems Restore there was only ever a couple showing. It wouldn't let me copy even one file in my Treesize (so I could check what it was) and computer...

Thank you everyone. Much appreciated. I have only 2 System Restore points, so its not that. I go in and delete them. But thanks for info of how to set it to reduce it. I will do that. I dont have much at all in the way of movies, couple of folders of pics and little music. Treesize is the...

I checked with my software Treesize (which is so useful) and I see that I have 626 GB of my laptop just used up on System Volume Information. I just wondered if anyone can tell me if this is normal? It seems to be taking up much of my storage capacity. I only have 904 GIGS total! I only have 148...

Having just written that message, I decided to have another go at removing. This time I found where boxes were ticked of what I wanted to share with other computers - pictures, etc. Have never wanted or needed to share with other computers so I have no idea why it was even there. I unticked...

Pity there has been no solution for this. Its still happening and taking 5 minutes sometimes for the icon to appear on desktop - and my IE and Windows Live Mail cannot be opened until that icon appears. Happens every time I turn off the computer, not just a first time for the day.

I am trying to remove 'Homegroup' as it is not needed and my Internet and Outlook wont open until that icon appears on my desktop and that takes a couple of extra minutes after everything else is ready. I followed the instructions below. But when I click on 'Leave the Homegroup' I get a...

I cant see anywhere to indicate Question Solved. I have let this go now, so dont need any more replies. Thanks so much everyone.

Thank you. With Recuva. I didn't tie down the search criteria at all. The lot. Have done it from External hard drive. Let it take its time and deep search. No go. Thanks everyone. It just decided to vanish forever. I have started again. I will be more careful next time I tranfer a file to...

Thank you. Yes I had done a search from Start. No go.
