I 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.

View 9 Replies View RelatedVista now will not install new programs. I get a warning box saying the temp folder is on a drive that is full or that I do not have write permission for. The temp file is where? It is on the C drive, which is nearly empty, and I am logged on as the administrator. What a pile of c***.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI know this is a common problem, but hoping someone could help me! I was just following the instructions from an older thread (Unable to Delete Folder.

Vista gave me the dreaded 'You Need Permission To Perform This Action' message, so I tried using all the methods listed in the thread, one of which was

View 8 Replies View RelatedTheir is a folder in my recycling bin that will not delete. Here is every thing about the folder.
- When I try to delete it is doesn't display an error message, it just doesn't delete.
- The file is from AIM and is labeled "Storage" (I have since uninstalled AIM)
- I can not restore it or use restore all or delete all.
- The file prevents me from emptying my recycle bin. I have to manually click and delete everything.
Its becoming bothersome because I can't use empty my recycle bin all at once. I've tried deleting it in safe mode and using disk cleanup but it just wont go away.
My C drive is 40 GB (Vista SP2) and c:windowswinsxs folder is 8 GB. How can I decrease it, delete it safetly...?

View 9 Replies View RelatedUsing vista 64 and I have a folder that contains another folder with a small file inside. Vista will NOT allow me to delete the folder from the desktop. I have tried everything that I know to do:
1. I tried to delete from the command prompt.
2. I tried renaming to folder.
3. Downloaded a "unlocker" program as suggested in other posts, doesn't work on 64 bit.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am using a Lenovo 3000 N100 laptop with Vista Home Premium SP2. I have a folder that contains corrupted files. I am not able to delete the files or the folder. I ran chkdsk, and this would not complete because of the corrupt files. I then ran chkdsk /f, and this did not correct the problem. I tried Unlocker, and this was not able to delete the files. I did a scan for viruses and spyware, and my laptop is clean. My laptop works well with no other problems. My only concern is that neither System Restore or chkdsk work. Whenever I try to run System Restore, I get the message that it is unable to perform the task because of corrupted files. Is there anything else I can try short of doing a complete reinstall? I do not care to do a reinstall since I have no other issues with my computer.

View 5 Replies View RelatedDue to HDD failure. THEY rebuilt it under the name of RoB Davies, NOT even my name of RoD Davies, and in any event it should have been under my wife's name. So I am apparently the defualt user. I created an Admin user under wife's name of Lenore, added a Folder under her name in the Users Folder, but can I delete the ROB Davies User??? There are the folders under RoB Davies of Contacts, Music, Pictures, Downoads, Videos, Searches etc. Even though I copied all these folders to my Wifes User Folder, and despite there being nothiing in any of these folders as its a brand new built PC, RoB Davies User folders are over 1GB in size, and my wifes about 20KB in total, so there are hidden system files in my incorrectly 'built' user folder...right? But Can I delete the Rob Davies folder??

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've recently done a clean install of VISTA Ultimate on a new hard disk. This is an upgrade copy, so I used the "old" disk and ran it from there. Vista runs on the C drive now, but I can't free up space on the "old" D drive because I can't delete the Windows folder or any of the files or folders in it. I'm denied access. Tried the Administrator account trick. Tried everything. Disk clean up tool. This is my biggest complaint with running VISTA for the past year: I can't access my own computer because I'm told I don't have permission! I built them, I run a home network of 3 machines and I'm continually told I don't have permission to do what I want or need to do. UAC is off.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've used Vista Home Premium for a year or so now and I've installed Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade and so far so good - I'm pretty impressed to this point. I am, however, becoming very frustrated trying to get rid of Homegroup and Libraries folders on the desktop. I know if I right click on Homegroup, there's an option for 'change homegroup settings' (from what I've seen on various Google listings) but there isn't the option to 'leave the homegroup', etc on my machine. I'm the only person using the PC so the Homegroup option won't be any use to me. I also cannot delete the 'Libraries' folder from the desktop. I've hunted high & low for an option somewhere to remove the links from the desktop by unticking a couple of boxes, to no avail :-/ Other options I've found on Google included altering registry entries but I don't want to go down that route.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI installed a program but it does not apear in the programs and features list while it is working well. I decided to uninstall it but I could not do this because it does not apear in the programs and features list so I tried to delete its folder from C:Program Files but I could not so then I turned my computer in the safe mode and I could delete its folder. Then the problems start to begin: the security center can not see the installed antivirus, when I try to uninstall or install the programs I get: (access is denied contact the administrator) although I am an administrator. Even i could not rename my folders in the C hard disk. also when I try to open system restore I get (There was unexpected error: class not registerd 0x80040154). I do not know if it is virus or a mistake I made by deleting that program.
