user permissions

Hi, I’m having a problem accessing some of my files. I think it might started when I changed laptops and restored a backed up copy of all my files on to the new computer. The old one had a FAT 32 file system with Windows 2K, and I formatted the new one, which is running XP as NTFS. I’m mainly...

So I have various desktops and all have more or less the same issue. In the root of each drive there are randomly named folders generated. Names like: 2b174a7b6cd269132e8dd780 52aebd6aec88ceb00badbc 32601669e81d70e5b9c7c8 ae888118d1365c5a165784ed221b20 So the only common thing seems to be that...

Windows 10 is magnificent. That said it appears to me as if nr 10 was created solely from an American perspective? With nr 8 I could go to my internet settings and mostly negate any unwanted advertisements. Being online with nr 10 I use an inordinate amount of data, no matter how I tweak my...

Hi Everybody, I have something new happening in my Windows 7. Three of the directories <Data> <MSOCache> and <Program Data> have tiny 'lock' icons attached to the top of the tree. I'm guessing these mean that I can not open any of the files. So far, it has affected all of the PDF manual...

Hey guys, First of all I'm going to start by saying that I'm not really a Windows related man so please explain everything step by step. The problem I had today was that I couldn't rotate some of my photo's. This was 'solved' because I went searching on the mighty Google and I found a forum on...

Just to be clear, it's not one of those usual things. I got Win 7 Home Premium. CMD, Task Manager, all exe files and GPEdit works fine. Everything works fine actually - exept regedit just does not respond. I have Nod32 and my PC is virus / malware free. All I want is just access to registry...

This problem appeared on my brother's computer, I'm not sure when. On his Child account he can not access certain secure connections, however, on the Admin account I have set up, I can. There is obviously either a problem with the account or a problem with the Family Safety settings, though...
