    I have a system that refuses to boot to Windows 10 Professional (64-bit), and I think I need to do a reinstall. The advanced boot options is available, but it will not go into safe mode. I can however get the command line, and it recognizes both robocopy and xcopy. Assume that C is the hard...

    Win 10 1809 Somehow my libraries are all over the place. My main query is how to sort out my libraries please. I tried using their properties and location but the location I choose is rejected. I tried an option I found to restore libraries to default but that didn't work. The problem is...

    Hey, couple of quick questions here. So, I have my Windows installed on C drive, as well as a few other things, and I don't install other things there because it is quite full, only half a gig space left.

    I recently reformatted my hard disk and re-installed Windows 7, and when I try to edit any files in the subdirectories off any on the directories in the C:\Program Files directory, I get 'protected' errors. I found that I could not create files or edit files anywhere below these directories...

    Windows 7 Migrating Windows System Directories.

    The "All Programs" menu off of the start menu isn't working any more, at least not when logged in as me (it works logged in as Administrator). I think this is related to the fact that I move a lot of stuff off of my C: drive (SSD) onto the E: drive, with Junctions to make the paths from C...
