Hi, I have already asked for some help on the Windows Forum but I didn't get any reasonable solution to my problem (that is becoming really annoying). I get a block of the PC (sort of "Application not Responding" but for the whole system) as soon as I left click on File Explorer or right click...

I have an SSD in my computer and have it as the boot drive so that I can boot quickly. However when I went to change the directory location for all my folders (Document, Videos, Music...etc) the Pictures folder was some how changed in the D drive. I can't delete it and it acts as the D drive...

Hi there: I accidentally deleted a directory from another machine in my network, I don´t see the folder in the recycle bin. Is there any way of undeleting it or recovering? The title of this post is not well formulated, I only want to recover it no matter what machine I use...

Hello all, I run a split screen for My Computer and Exporer; the left side shows the directory structure and the right side the contents (as well, too, as the directory). The problem is that the left side doesn't show the full path when I open the pathway on the right side. XP used to show...

Link Removed Two problems, possibly a single issue from Webroot Secure AnyWhere; I don't think my computer is infested, but I could be wrong. First, a number of AutoRun.INF files I have authored keep vanishing. I have a large number of drives on my computer, and I have created AutoRun files to...

I haven't done any programming for a long time, and virtually haven't done any Windows scripting since the days of MS-DOS. For my digital audio needs I am planning to separate my music collection into 3 folder trees: - lossless albums - lossy albums inclusive - lossy albums exclusive. The...
