I have joined this forum in the hope i can get help and advise in deploying windows 7, I have been deploying windows 7 for the last 7 months as a contractor for two different clients. Both clients have had different ways of doing the deployment, however both have the same concerns about data and...

Where does Win7 put cookies? Are they all in one place, or are they in multiple locations? Thanks, C:\

The computer I'm having a problem on is a HP G6- 635 DX Windows 7 x64. About a week ago I decided to disable a few startup items because my computer took too long to load up. I think I disabled something that I shouldnt have because the next time I restarted I had gotten stuck on the "Starting...

Hi all, I just got a brand new computer. It was a gift from my parents. Since my parents know pretty much next to nothing about computers, they got my brother to order it for me. It seems that when the computer arrived he took it out of the box and named the computer and the user file after...

I recently recovered my data from a biohd-8 error. Can someone please tell me which files can I copy back to a hard drive in order for my system to start again and make it useable again. I do not know if any of the files were damaged in the recovery process. 1) If I am able to restart my...

I was trying to move the location of my desktop using the location in properties. It worked great but i decided to move it back. I accidentally made it the same folder as computername under users which is the admin one with the pad lock. They somehow became one and all my user files were on the...

I am the sole user of my computer and log on as the Preferred User. Whenever I want to open My Documents, My Pictures, etc., I have to first select Desktop, then Preferred User (I am the ONLY user and I have already logged in as the PREFERRED USER), then have to select My Documents, etc. Is...

I have been asked to look at PC desktop computer belonging to a colleague. Basically he said he has lost a lot of icons from the desktop and some of his short cuts to certain programmes. I have checked and the programmes are still installed so that’s not a problem in recreating some of the short...

I have an admin account, but it's the only account for my computer. I used to have plenty of old accounts, some of which were also admin accounts. When I decided to delete them, I chose to keep the files just in case. Now I realize I don't need them but it won't let me delete them. I went to...

My wife's relatively new Dell Studio 1569 is showing 2 drive letters. C & D. It has one 500GB hard drive that apparently arrived with a partition. C: drive has an allocation of only 58.5 GB and D: drive is showing 397GB. The C: drive is listed as OS and the D drive is listed as Local Disk. The...

So I've been trying to restore my computer fully for days now. I used the Windows 7 Backup method about a week ago to backup 3 drives: C: (SATA-Primary), D:(SATA), and H:(IDE). They were successfully backed up, however restoring them has been a nightmare. I re-imaged the C: drive back to its...

I just installed a fresh copy of windows 7 and i left my other drive intact which has windows 7 installed on it to. The problem is i can get in to any folder on the root of the drive but it doesn't let me get in to my user folder where i kept all of my files. It says it needs permission to get...

Hello everyone, so yeah I'd need a little help with BSOD I am getting. I get it during the very beginning of boot (every time) and when trying to enter safe mode, I get the same BSOD after classpnp.sys is loaded. When running the repair console, I get the message that the problem cannot be...

Hi, The Hard drive recently died on my laptop and would not boot. I was able to copy some of the data off it by booting from a Linux CD before sending it back to the manufacturer. I now have a new drive and Windows 7 installed. Is there a way to import my mail account details and address...

This is probably a really easy-to-solve problem, but to me a very annoying one. Win 7 has done something with its files that makes it more difficult to find them in certain occations. Say for ex that I have done an ordinary search via Start on the whole computer to find an old document that I...

Hi I've lost some work by opening an attachment from an e-mail, forgetting to save it locally, and then saving the document and closing. I think it's saved the updated file to a Temporary Internet File somewhere, but I can't find it. I've tracked backwards by re-opening the original file from...

Hi there! I would like to know how to change Document location in win7, as it was in win xp? I just want to locate them to another partition. Thanx! :)

Hi, I recently installed Windows 7 64-bit on my 1TB hard drive, and have Windows XP 32-bit on my other 300GB Hard drive. I am in the process of reinstalling / moving my games over to Windows 7 from XP. Now this may be tough to answer, and may depend on the game, but: Where do I put my saved...

what is good and not good to keep after instaling windows 7

I was able to download what I thought was Windows 7 64 bit from Microsoft's Website. I Hated Vista 64 bit so bad that I really didn't care what damage it did. It works so much better that I can't believe it. Faster also. Here is my problem. I was able to install it over the top of Vista 64...
