Hi I cannot access TEMP folder under user profile, or even access any file in that folder. It says the folder is corrupt. I tried to run ccleaner, however that didn't fix it. Could someone please suggest how I can get rid of this folder and start a new one Thanks - Av

Trying to delete a folder that I downloaded from a file-sharing network, and keep getting this message: Destination Folder Access Denied. Reading the posts on the subjects gets me way over my head. I checked the properties and am just not understanding how to change ownership and/or permissions. Any help for a novice? I just upgraded to Vista Home Premium. The folder is a J. Garcia/D. Grisman...

Hi. I have been XP user of my PC (only me using this PC) with admin. privileges. I have always used two similar installations (one on C:\ and no. two on E:\ (then with the biggest partition in the middle as D:\ for my 'Desktop', 'Favourites', 'Document' and backup)). This has been a very good way for me to always have a total failure free installation to work on (I can delete the...

I've noticed a few problems with the Backup and Restore Center program that comes as part of Windows Vista. 1. It's found BOTH under Accessories - System Tools and under Maintenance in the main menu. Only one of these is capable of handling backups large enough to require formatting at least three DVD+RWs. If the list of previous backups is currently empty (for example, because the main...

Hi, I have a new laptop with Vista home premium on it. I can not delete files like I could in XP. Every time I delete a file, a box comes up with a bunch of choices in it. One is "as Administrator" or something like that. Clicking on that a few times deletes the file. I have been unable find out how to make it work like XP. Can anyone tell me how to do this? It would save me a lot of time and...

I am having a terrible experience with getting the "Windows Search" service to start/run. I would greatly appreciate advice/suggestions for finding a "fix" for it. Here are the details so far. Similarities to previously mentioned "Windows Search" service problems: When I attempt to start the "Windows Search" service manually, I get an error message box which says: "Windows could not start...

Hello all, Somewhere there HAS to be a Windows 7 discussion group, but it doesn't seem to be listed anywhere in the Microsoft discussion groups tree. Someone in here may be able to help or at least point me to a Win 7 discussion group. I have just bought 2 identical machines with Win 7 installed. My user account is there on both (libraries documents right click properties) immediately...

I can not associate htm and html files to Front Page 2003. When I try to Open With, point through the files to find FP03 program file, it will not associate with html or htm. It instead changes to an Internet Explorer file. It is strange. I think I need to set all associations back to default for programs and start over. Is there a way to do that? Is there a Microsoft utility to manage...

How can I get over this? All my other machines running XP dont suffer from this problem Thank you Fionnbarr Kennedy

Hi, I accidentally left my router unsecured for a couple of hours. I also left my laptop on during this time, connected wirelessly to the unsecured router. My question is, can a hacker in my apartment complex who really wants to, connect to this router and hack into my laptop's hard drive and steal/transfer files? I have not shared any folders.

Hi all; I have a divx reader with hard disk connected by a wireless network to my PC: while I was renaming some folders the network went down and the folders become files, so now are unreadable. Now, when I connect the network drive, in the left column I have 8 folders (instead of the 10 that I had before) and two files of 0kb. Before this problem these two files were two folders...
