My Prefetch Data is being deleted and I don't know what is doing it and it's getting very annoying. Tuneup is telling me it is being deleted but from what I found on Google tuneup does not actually delete it the only programs that have been known to delete it are CCleaner and Kaspersky and I only have Kaspersky and that only deletes the Prefetch Data when asked to which I have never done.
Programs that I have running:
SmartDoctor
AI Suite II
TuneUp Utilities Kaspersky
Revo Uninstaller

WHen you copy a file in Windows 7 do previouly deleted records & sheets exist in the new file (Excel file)? If they do is there a method to "wipe clean" the deleted records & individual sheets? How about SQL data base records that are deleted. How do you "wipe them clean"?
I originally had Vista on my computer when purchased. The computer had C:, D:,. The HP recovery was on D: with everything else on C:I deleted the Data from the D:recovery disc as I had no more use for Vista and most of the programs that came from HP would not work with Windows 7. I have recovery disc if I do need them at a later date to reinstall Vista.I installed Windows 7 Ultimate on C: This left D: partition empty. I have most recently used D which is about 13 GB for4 abackup of some of my programs.I also have another 640 GB hard disc which is G: that I use as backup for my windows system.I would like to do away with the D: partition because I can also put all my program backups on G: as well.How do I delete the D: partition and incorporate that space into the C: partition? I think I know but am not sure of myself and would like advice
I accidentally deleted a partition in Windows 7 (dynamic disk) using the disk management tools. That partitions is full of works and photos from the last 2 years. Are there any way I can recover the data? The space left by the deleted partition are still un-allocated at the moment. Do I need to create the partition prior to data recovery? I am using Active Partition recovery to scan at the moment. No result yet.
What software or way to format the hard drive data, making it safe to delete data no recovery possible. Such as DBAN, but erased too long. I tested a 160G hard disk data erase, with six hours or so
Before I reg'd I was asking purging perfetch files, I saw posts saing it was ok but did not speed up your pc. Using a registry clean up program would however, I used one once and it caused issues with programs connected to plaing TW08 (OL) and I was forced to reformat. The good reviews I saw came from those running Windows 7 32bit and I'm running Windows 7 64bit coukd that have been the difference.
how to move the prefetch location on Windows 7 from C:Windowsprefetch to another location or drive? I'm thinking to relocate all write activity from C: to the ramdisk. So far I only found the prefetch, temp and installed application that writes to drive C. Anyone can give me complete list that write to drive C?
Whilst removing a virus I have somehow managed to delete office 2003 with my outlook with all of my work emails on !!!I have tried a system restore but it wont let me do it and comes up with %systemroot%egistration then ComPlusStagingI could just reinstall office but I dont have all of my emails backed up on a pst file
So I've been using my 64GB ssd as my windows 7 boot drive and i have a 1TB hdd as my data drive. Recently the my computer has begun to freeze up with errors like "explorer.exe" has stopped responding or "windows" has stopped responding and half of the time when i try to boot it says it cant find windows. This has lead me to believe that my ssd is dying despite being only a year old. I need to RMA my ssd but to do that i would be losing my boot drive for weeks. So I thought id try to create a system image so that i can simply put my boot drive on my hdd, but when i try to create the image it says that the image would be 711GB because its including all of my hdd (which contains all my user libraries and downloads). My question is: how do I make windows stop thinking that my hdd is a system drive so that I can create a reasonably sized image, or more generally: how can i easily move my boot drive to my hdd? Also, I've read some posts about using "easyBCD" to accomplish the latter but I'm not sure that's exactly what i need in this situation.
I had duplicate pictures in 2 locations and thought I could get rid of one it would free up some space.Well I deleted one and both are gone. Is there anyway of retrieveing them?I tried "search and recover", according to the instructions would work wonders
just did a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate on my second pc, all went well apart from it gets to amd data change update new data to dmi then..... stops, it wont budge, i haven't touched anything in the bios or added any new hardwear.When i reboot, same again, went into the bios and made sure i have it set to boot from hard drive first.
forum i have a question. I have a kingston 30 gb ssd i use as my windows drive, and a 750 gb wd hdd for data/game storage. I have heard that you can ghost a file on the data drive into the x86 folder so that all new installs go there and then you still recieve most of the benefits of your ssd w/o clogging it up. I have an amd based system (dont know if that matters or not)
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium on an HP p6654y. I also have a Western Digital 160gb "My Book Essential Edition" external hard drive. I am trying to remove duplicate pictures that are in my Windows Pictures Library and also on the ext. hard drive (they have the same name on both drives). However when I find a common one and delete it from the Windows Picture Library, it also deletes it from the ext. hard drive! I did not expect the files to be 'related', and therefore any action I took on one file wouldn't affect the other.'
I distribute Microsoft Access developed software and the program relies on locating its backend .mdb file. I find on Windows 7 that even if I delete a file and it appears to be gone, it seems to be stored somewhere. I need to be able to get rid of the backend database file for good.
I am constantly running into issues trying to delete files--mostly .exes. It really interferes with many "autoupdate" programs like Steam and Origin. I have to use safemode to install updates... It also affects other things like compiling; I get occasional (essentially random) errors when the output file already exists and I want to overwrite it. I also can't delete the affected file(s) for a long time--often upwards of 1 minute. However, if I wait long enough, I can eventually delete the files.The error is always something like "you don't have permission blahblah." I have tried those unlocker programs, and while they can sometimes delete the file, an autoupdater (for example) can never actually write the new copy, even though I don't see the file in the directory.
I have tried running programs as administrator.I am using an administrator account.I have UAC dsabled.I am not running an antivirus or any program that should be interfering.I've tried changing folder permissions as per multiple guides I have read (some from this site).None of the above does anything..This problem has been plaguing me for almost 1 year. I have reinstalled Windows 7 twice in that time, and the problem exists from the get go. I have been using Windows 7 for over 2 years, but I never had this problem until my second to last installation. I don't know what changed.
in an attempt to get rid of my system reserved partition, i formatted my other partition with over 600 GB of pictures and files. i tried to run "active partition recovery", left it to run for over 5 hours, and all it ironically found was the system reserved partitionthe rest of my disk is currently unallocated space
My os is win 7 ultimate, i try to down load and save or run, and soon as download is complete it say's there is a virus and deletes.Anybody got any ideas what going on.I have two computers same os, doing same thing
I had it plugged into my laptop when I was blowing it off and putting a copy of XP Pro on it. When it said to delete the partition, I clicked on the USB drive on accident. Now plugging it into Win 7 computer, it wants to format it. Is there any way to get my files? I have one word document in particular that has been my life's work. I had not backed it up in over 2 months.
