I am running Vista Ultimate 32
a couple of weeks ago I had a problem with Disk Cleanup hanging because I had 116 Gig of Temp files.
Today I tried again and Disk Clean up hung again, this time I have 125 Gig temp files.
How can I have 125 gig temp files in two weeks, I do not do a lot of stuff on the Internet, basically I just muck around with Rail and flight Sim programs.
When I first ran a virus scan when I first got my computer, I had 100,000 files on it. Now when I run a virus scan, I have over 1,000,000 and it takes over 4 hours to complete a scan. Is it normal to have this many files? I don't add that many files, the only thing I add is music and I surely dont add that much.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI scanned my C:/ drive with ZSoft for temp files. It came up with a list in the hundreds with these extensions:
..bak .GID .tmp .chk .htm .js .syd .ico
and two desktop.ini files.
I have everything configured to dump browser temp files upon closing but it looks like there are files for periods of consecutive dates, possibly when those configurations were not yet set for some reason. It amounts to many MBs, so if they are junk I would like to get rid of them all. What policy should I adhere to regarding temp files with these extensions.
I have Vista Ultimate, when I run disk cleanup, either through cleanmgr or drive properties it gets to temporary files then goes nowhere, after 30 minutes the progress meter has not moved (it is at about 50%) and if I leave it running it just disappears after a while (I have not timed this but it is longer than 30 minutes). I have run a check on my hard drive and it is okay. Is there a fix for this or if not how do I clean up "temp" files.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently created a shortcut called deletetempfiles, which I created in notepad. I also added the shortcut to the start folder. So when I restart the comp, or, start the comp, the temp files will automatically be deleted. Well..... The problem is... It seems it has deleted the picture I had for my User Account???.. So I am trying to add the picture again, but I get the message to say that the file does not exist, and is invalid?? The file is a JPEG. How can I put my picture back?, also the whole temp folder is deleted as well. I cannot do a system restore, as it is disabled.

But with my vista, when i do the same thing, even though I have activated make hidden files visible, the temp inet folder appears empty. I assume they are present, but Just cannot see them. Can someone point me in the right direction to make them available to me... Also if anyone knows of any handy tools for managing the temp files let me know. I copy a ton of stuff frm the temp inet folder and its very cumbersome.

After running Disk Cleanup there are still temp files left in C:/windows/temp and in the appdata/local/temp in my users folder. However the files left are recent files, so does Disk Cleanup only remove files which older than a few days old?

View 5 Replies View RelatedMy laptop suddenly shut itself down for no reason. When I restarted it, I was given a fresh new desktop with new music folders, documents folder etc.etc. I have since found out I was given a TEMP account - which is weird because I still logged into MY personal profile with no problems (and no warning messages about files being lost when I shut the computer down). Anyway, since I didn't get any message, I worked on my website pages all day and saved the work into a folder on the "new" desktop.
HOWEVER... after restarting the computer the next day and logging into my profile, I was presented with my original desktop - - - BUT NO FOLDER WITH ALL MY WORK! When I searched for the specific files and folder on my computer - I found the files, but I could not open them because "C:UsersTEMP(folder name)" did not exist! Is there a way.. ANY WAY of getting those files back?
When I've downloaded files from the net, I choose a directory to save the file but then get error message saying that I don't have permission to save files in that location and to ask the Administrator for permission. I am the Administrator and I have no other users. All the files downloaded go to the Local temp file since I don't have permission.
View 4 Replies View RelatedVista Home Premium upgraded to SP2 Danish. When I do a Disk Cleanup then it should empty all temp files on the hdd, but I found out that its not emptying the following, why is that? c:BrugereThunderAppDataLocalTemp c:windowsTemp Eventhough you are logged in as administrator c:BrugereAdministratorAppDataLocalTemp Now the question is if I can delete these files without trouble? Or is there a reason why these files are not deleted and should not be deleted? As the subjet line says, I'm wondering why my windows folder takes up 16.3GB? I'm thinking that its all the old updates that takes up all this space since it seems to be mostly located in these 2 folders :windowswinsxs - 10.8GB c:windowssystem32 - 3.82GB What can be done about this?

However when I run the task manager, and clicking on "Show processs from all users", I can't see which process is responsible since none is consuming more than a few percent of the CPU.My computer is obviously very slow and I haven't installed any program yet.

I though that I had finally created a stable config with all the proper hardware drivers and many of my apps. I then noticed that the disk activity light was on solid - and I couldn't figure out why.I ran a number of process tools, the only one that seemed to provide useful information being Perfmon. Perfmon showed two distinct types of disk activity.......
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell Latitude D830 with Vista. My computer works fine as long as it is booted up and I have logged in to my profile. The problem appears to be that it does not hibernate properly and takes about 5 minutes to log in to my profile. It boots up normally. My questions on the long login problem are:
1. Can the gadget sidebar have anything to do with the excessive login time?
2. Is there any way I can view the steps of the login process to see what is causing the long delay?
3. Do you have any written procedure that I can use to debug this problem?
I thought I managed to get rid of the annoying "excessive disk writing" problem by turning off superfetch and readyboost in services.msc. However now it seems like it is back. I've tried turning off ALL my services (background apps), but it's still there. IMMENSELY annoying. When I look at my resource monitor (access it via the task manager), it looks like there is some sort of Vista service still running that is causing all this trouble. See the applied image for resource monitor screen capture. sorry for the large image. I'll scale it better the next time.

View 4 Replies View Relatedwhat is the max amount of RAM that Vista 32 bit will recognize? I ask this because I have 3 gigs of RAM currently on my 32 bit computer and I want to go buy some more. I found a good stick for under 20 dollars that I don't mind spending on. If I make my RAM go from 3 gigs to 4 gigs, will it recognize the extra gig? I heard that it will not recognize 4 gigs but I also heard that it won't recognize anything more than 4 gigs.

I've got the parental controls set up to limit when, but I'd also like to limit how much of that time they can use. If not, are there any free, simple programs out there? Everything I find is much more than I need - controlling what the user does, managing the time the users can use the PC, etc.
View 9 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to change the amount of disk space used by the System Restore system for storing Restore Points? Or to delete restore points? I want to try to ensure that I keep the restore point made immediately prior to updating to SP1, and that Point is the oldest one listed. I'm afraid that I'm about to try one thing too many that will cause Vista to delete that Point in order to remain within its set total size allotment.
View 5 Replies View RelatedNot very descriptive, but so the computer goes. Lets say I am updating a blog. And I refresh a number of times, once for each post. Not always the same amount of refreshes, but eventually I get the spinner upper right, and the status bar says either 'Done' or 'Stopped'. If I check email, first time fine. I close email. Over the next 2-5 hours, I open email again, close again, open again, Mozilla Thunderbird newest version, and it says cannot connect. The number of times it will work and then stop, varies. To fix either, I reboot, no need to do anything else, and they work fine again. I get the impression that if I have to connect to anything outside my home computer, this occurs. I haven't tried all software, but it happens with email, both browsers, and connecting to Everquest. So it isn't just one type of site/server. Just anything outside my home computer. I'm the only user and admin.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a 120gb hard drive with around 20gb free at any one time. I have noticed that most of the time I only have one automatically created restore point. I am aware that the number of restore points is dependant on free hard drive space, however I had many more available restore points under Windows XP with same amount of free hard drive space. Is there a way I can increase the amount of space available to System Restore? I have looked at the settings and can't find anything.

I bought my computer in November, and since then I've had a bunch of blue screens, most giving different codes. I ran Memtest86 and it found nothing (I ran it once for 6 hours then another for 9). Heres some of my error codes, just recently:

I don't know what most of them mean, I've read that ram is the main problem for some of these, so I don't know what to think. My computer is a HP Pavilion Desktop, running Vista Home Premium x64, I have an AMD Tricore, and 4 GBs of ram.
I would like to get vista to use the login style used in Win 2000 ... ctrl+alt+del gives a login box in which to enter the user name and password.
Win XP Pro had this option also, but, it's default was like vista (pictures showing all users).
I have been able to get the ctrl+alt+del part but instead of the login box I still get pictures.

I dont think its a stuck sensor either, because if i open up my pc, i cant even touch the heatsink because its so hot.
