Deleting Setup.exe
Nov 17, 2009
I published a application i made with vb2005 express edition, zipped it up with winzip and emailed to my friend who is using vista x64. Whilst doing the extraction process vista is deleting the setup.exe but not the other files in the zipped file. I have successfully done this on at least 5 other vista machine and have not had this issue before. He is logged in on the only account according to him which is the admin account. How can we overcome this security flaw?

I want to delete some unwanted cookies. The path I am taking is:-
C:usermynameAppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowscookies
This is where I am hitting a wall. I know this is the correct path, but when I get to "Windows", I can't see the cookies file.
I have clicked the view hidden files tab, under folder options but still no luck.

How can I be certain that a few files that I want permanently deleted cannot be recovered by someone at a later date. I am using Windows Vista Home Premium and I recently did a full hard disc recovery, reinstalling all the applications of Microsoft Office. However, I read somewhere yesterday that some files may still be recoverable by knowledgeable searchers. I had some files that I never want to see again and I do not want anyone else to see them either.

Just as earlier post says...I too have, in just the past 2 days, begun to have something wacky going on with my Windows Mail. When I open, it receives and posts mesages in the appropriate folders so it is downloading the mesages and the count of how many in each folder. BUT, then the problems start...Sometimes, if I open the email and read it, then move to another folder with mail it deletes the emails just read in the first folder. Other times, it will delete the mail in one particular folder just as I click to open it and read them. I have already gone through and checked View---> Current View---Show All.
I have also watched carefully at the top right corner of my email and each of the 3 folders is marked "Show all Mesages". Nothing is marked to be "Hidden". I have also checked and re-checked the three message rules. The deleted mails are nowhere else to be found. It's now to the point where I may not even get to read them once deposited in the folder of my mailbox. One folder in particular is having the most problems.

I have a Toshiba Satellite P105 than runs on Vista Home Premium 32bit.
I bought the computer used, so it already came partitioned, and without any CDs.
I'm fairly competent in my computer skills; I just need someone to tell me how to remove the partition(which is a (D:) drive) and reboot my pc without a CD.

I am hoping to find an automated method for deleting the Vista Search Folders. I tried command line scripts to remove the folder (RMDIR or DELTREE), but I'm not having any luck with the search folders. I am able to delete other folders with a script (like this one): Del C:Myfolder*.*.* RMDir C:Myfolder But I cannot delete a Vista Search
Folders like this folder; C:UsersmynameSearchesEverywhere I can delete them manually, but not with a script.

I recently had to reformat my computer, but saved basically all of my old computer in the folder windows.old before doing so. Now that I wiped my drive and reinstalled vista, I want to get rid of that windows.old folder because it is huge and I don't use it anymore, but I can't get clearance to delete or move it to an external hard drive.

I just reinstalled my OS. To get a clean start.
And there are some 'things' I would like to do away with.
Starting with this file. But I am uncertain if deleting it will cause me problems and I should leave it alone.

I read an article about deleting old Update Backups in XP. The article showed where they were stored. Where are the old Vista Update Backup folders stored? I understand from the article that they take up considerable hard drive space. I don't intend on deleting the most recent but are there any others that should not be deleted?

I recently deleted some 2,000+ files from my WindowsTemp folder. I remember - back in my Windows 2000 days - I set up a batch file that executed on boot-up from the Start-up folder that deleted such files. What would the equivalent procedure be for Vista Home Premium (64-bit)? Am I able to duplicate that former procedure? Are there other temp files that are created that I should be aware of for deleting purposes?

How do I delete a desktop icon. Windows says that it can not find the file and will not delete it. I removed the program the way I should but it left the shortcut on the desktop and will not let me delete or move it. I've tried to change the properties , added sharing, and everything I can think of to remove the shortcut with no luck.

I recently backed up my files to the Recovery D drive (Back up and Restore center). It failed as I did not have enough memory to complete the op. I've since uninstalled programs that I do not normall use, but still only have 20MB free out of the 10GB drive. I'm trying to go into the user files to delete folders which contain pictures that I want to delete to free up room. BUt when I click on the folder and try to delete it, I get an error message indicating that I do not have enough memory to complete the operation. So how do I delete these folders (that contain a ton of pics)?

I am trying to delete unused documents from Microsoft Word 2007. Everyone says to open word, click on the upper left button, right click on the file I want to delete and click delete. Right click just gives me a menu about "customized ribbons or something" No Delete in there. If I click on the button to "open", it gives me another list of Docs., but the one I want is not in there. I have tried going to "Computer", User, Docs, but it is not in there either.

Quite a while ago, I lost my Vista installation due to some errant = program and the lousy installation/removal program it had. As per Microsoft's advice, I recovered all I could off some backups and = stuck that in a directory called "Windows.old". It's a few years later now and Vista is considerably more stable. I've = had no problem whatsoever with Vista -- knock wood! Since I don't use that directory for anything at this point, having = taken everything worthwhile out of it already, I figured now was a great = time to delete it (it's taking up about 20 GB). when I go to delete it Vista tells me that files in that directory, such = as in "Windows.old/Windows" are in use. Huh? Would it be safe for me to force a delete on that directory anyway or is = this risky?

I am the only user on my computer and am an administrator obviously. I am trying to delete some *.gdp files that a software did not remove when uninstalled. It says I need permission. FROM WHO? How do I rid myself of these files and is it possible for VISTA to be set so it recognizes that I am the only one on the planet actually with the permission to do anything on this stupid OS?

I have a couple questions that have been bothering me for the last few days.
1. Why do the file or program that I know for sure I deleted, but is still there although it is an empty file. I right clicked it>delete and it says can not be found. It won't let me delete. It doesn't take up any disk space but it bothers me that it is still there. How do I get rid of it?
2. I have many files that are empty in my appdatalocal emp location. Most of them I don't even know what they are. I never downloaded them. Quite a few of them are empty files. Can I delete them?

I want to clean up my desktop by deleting some shortcut icons. Each of the icons contains the directional arrow in the lower left corner. However, when I "right click, delete" on any Shortcut Icon, I am prompted: Are you sure you want to move this file to the Recycle Bin? I actually deleted several programs before realizing what I was doing. :mad: The wording I was accustomed to in WinXP: Are you sure you want to remove this shortcut ...* isn't offered to me. I'm running Vista Home Premium 64-bit SP1

I have about a dozen tags (some nested) that I have been trying to delete. I have tried numerous work-arounds including renaming them then deleting. They seem to delete but when I close the photo gallery then open it again, they haven't been deleted (renamed, or even de-nested depending on what I try) Any that I have added lately DO delete, which is real confusing. I have been trying for about a month now, and want to restart from scratch. I own the computer w/admin rights (home premium 32bit)

I am looking for a program or a windows explorer addon that will search a folder I indicate, and delete all the empty sub-folders. I am cleaning up my music folder and found out that I have over a thousand empty folders in it due to old music I had deleted. I don't want to have to go through and delete each one manually. I don't have that kind of spare time. Programmers, if you can write a plugin for this

I cannot delete files off any SD card I put in my Compaq Presario F700. Delete isn't even an option when I right click on the file. This happens with the card from my digital camera and also with the small card in my cell phone which I have to insert into a SD holder. I know I must have clicked something that was a no no. Is there any way to fix this.

I recently uploaded pictures from my camera to my XPS M1530 (uses VISTA Home Premium). Anyway, I deleted the pictures and also deleted it from my trashcan. However, I noticed that if you go to "Start" => "Pictures" => "Recent Pictures & Videos"....it shows my recent pictures....even the ones I thought were permanently deleted! The problem is that it shows a "preview" of the picture....I tried right clicking and deleting it. But ofcourse, since I already deleted it, it shows up as "this is no longer located in [location]. How do I get rid of these images? Are there any more of my pictures stored somewhere else?
