In Windows 7, you know, The "Olden days", when I asked the computer to delete a file, a window would open up and say something to the effect of "do you really want to delete this file?" I liked that. If I am working really fast, and I usually am, I like having my machine slow me down just a tad...

Hello, I have some basics of programming but I don’t really know anything about Windows 7 scripting, so here’s my question: How can I make it so that a specific file (FNTCACHE.DAT if you’re interested but I doubt it’s important) is deleted everytime I shut down Windows? I guess it would have...

I run Win 7 on a Dell XPS M1530 running on AC power. I attached an Iomega USB 2.5" portable drive and booted up. This drive worked OK when last used with a desktop PC. I wanted to delete unused and old files from the drive, but can't. I also can't transfer them to the laptop. They do open...
