Remove protected files from System Restore
by Guest Robert- 7 replies
- 342 views
It is my understanding that Windows XP System Restore maintains copies of protected files, such as .doc and .xls files in My Documents, and that erasing or wiping the original file does not affect the copy that System Restore maintains. If one is disposing of a computer and wants to remove all privacy type files from My Documents, what can be done, if anything, to remove the protected files from System Resotre. Thank you, -- Robert

Please help me to find and repair them those are around 8GB my valuable data. Thanks in advance and awaiting for replies.

Not that I care on a 200 gig drive. But I'm just curious as to why this happens. Does it have to do with the size of the drive not being evenly divisible by the calculated cluster size? http://img244.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc00854mediumgj6.jpg Also, what is a good FREE Windows newsreader?

RE: Rude replies I agree. To an expert there may be such things as stupid questions and ignorant people that don't deserve the time of a reply.

HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDER are not visible even though they are all there but not visible cause i can access them directly through my favourite entry in windows explorer, also everytime i've tried to check the radio button in Tools--Folder - Option--View to " Hide Hidden Files and Folder" and clicked Apply and close the dialog box it reverts back to " +Show hidden file and folder" but not showing any hidden folder. I've run Spyware Doctor, Ad-ware, Spybot CA antivirus and spyware, all come clean no problems, only Xsoft's spyware detected two problems in Registry, it says "Eventlog.exe" from HKEY classes Root clsid, and HKEY local machine, which …

Delete windows 98, 3.1, and .NET?
by Guest Hank- 2 replies
- 270 views
I have Windows XP at home and need more space on my hard drive. I noticed in Add/Remove that I have Windows 98 Service Pack 1 (I remember the store left 98 on my PC when I upgraded just in case), Windows Installer 3.1 (KB893803), and Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 (90 MB). Are these extra files that can be safely removed? If so, how? When I clicked on 98 for example in Add/Remove, it says it will restore a previous version of Windows so I never did it. I want to keep Windows XP!

Laptop Standby and Hibernate problems
by Guest sparks691@centurytel.net- 4 replies
- 259 views
I have an older laptop (about 3 years old) running Windows XP. I can't get automatic power management to work. Using the Power Settings in window in XP, I set times for Standby and Hibernate on battery power. XP just ignores these settings and runs the battery down to nothing. I can choose Hibernate or Standy from the shutdown menu (or sleep button) and it works just fine. The display turns off at the time I specify and stays off until I touch the mouse or keyboard. I am assuming that if the "manual" Standby and Hibernate works then the BIOS setings must be correct. I looked at the BIOS APM settings and it was not clear at all which settings to enable/disabl…

Windows desktop search is pretty useless - most of the time I end up going to search companion to find what I need. Is there any way to create a shortcut directly to search companion? Thanks
