disk cleanup

Hi, I just had a quick question. ok, so when I try to download a file from internet to my computer, I get this message: C:\Users\Craft\App Data\Local\Temp and it also says that it could not be saved because you (me) cannot change the contents. (I am the admin on my computer, so why can't...

Hi all, Okay, so I was happily running XP, fearing that upgrading to a newer version of Windows would kill my performance. Unfortunately, a need for 64-bit came up, and I upgraded to Win7... Confirming my worst fears. 12GB were used on the drive as of the install (I have a 30GB SSD and I have...

Ok so this is the problem: My thumbnails have stopped working,all of the sudden I see the paint and brush symbol on each picture in each folder. So far i have tried the following: going to folder options and to the View tab,then unchecking always show icons,never thumbnails several times... (no...

ok, so i got a little problem or rather a worry : i had 352mb of free space and a zip file of 470+mb on the same hdd. as i didnt need some of the files in that zip, i deleted them (around 50mb). i did so directly out of winzip 10, which actually makes a new file out of the old but without...

Hi I have a maxtor basics usb desktop 500 gig external hard drive and it doesn't seem to work. I plugged it in and windows said it was installing updates, that finished and said this was complete. I then went onto computer management and I can see it under device manager, and when I go into...

So far I like the RC. It doesn't crash or lock-up (IE8) like the Beta frequently did while browsing, and the "Delete Browsing History" function actually does the job now; when I do a disk cleanup, the temp files are already empty, whereas they were still there with the Beta. Shutdown takes...

My computer became infected with the Win32/virut virus last night. Having battled for hours this morning I think I have removed it. There is still an error when starting firefox (jl.chura.pc/rl) but that is not the question for now... During the clean up I performed a disk cleanup, which it...

I was just doing a disk cleanup in Vista Home Premium and noticed that many of the boxes are not ticked. I was wondering what is best to leave alone. I know that you can delete the Hibernation File cleaner, but then cannot use that option. Since I never use the Hybrid Seep or Hibernation (or...

I installed windows 7 over an XP installation that had Windows Steady State installed on it with a 10 GB cache. Steady State is incompatible with Windows 7 so cache.wdp is installed taking up 10GB of space but I can't use Steady State to delete it. Cache.wdp only shows up when I use a disk...

While attempting to add Disk Cleanup to Scheduled Tasks I ran cleanmgr.exe /? in a command window to find out the available switches. Two of these undocmented switches /SETUP or /TUNEUP:n ran without feedback. When I returned to the desktop my Quicklaunch bar was empty and no programs...

Seems like a new entry to me. Anyone know what this is supposed to do?

Hopefully this is an easy question to answer, but I haven't found it yet. If I check how much space is being used by my Vista account (I'm the only user) it tells me I'm using 134 GB (right-click User -> Properties), but if I actually add up all the folders under that user (there are no loose...

Can I delete the windows.old files that were left when I installed Vista? They take up a lot of room and since they are all xp files and you can't access anything in them, I just thought it would be nice to get rid of them. We did a complete install to Vista from xp, not an upgrade, but it still...

I installed Windows Vista yesterday, accidentally doing so on my "D" drive rather than my primary "C" drive. After realizing my mistake, I simply did an image restore of my former XP OS and reinstalled Vista on my primary "C" drive. No problems except.... The Windows files from my initial...
