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...

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...

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...

Dear all, hope someone can help. I just upgraded my Windows 7 7000 build to 7022 (32 bit). I did not do a clean install based on the fact that my Vista to 7000 upgrade went just fine. So, here's the problem: all of my docs are gone! Only the directories within My Music, My Docs, etc. are...

Dear all, I just upgraded to 7022 (yes, it's zippier and all)...and have a really weird problem to report and seek help. As with my Vista to 7000 upgrade, I did not do a clean install; the upgrade went smoothly back then. For the record, these are all 32 bit installations and I am running a...
