I need to reduce the actual file size of a lot of pictures that I have, I want to do them all in one go and I don't think paint is capable of doing this. A simple bat/batch file command would be ok?
View 3 RepliesI had completed a beautiful 82-slide PowerPoint presentation, but the wav file I embedded was HUGE (about 200 MB) and not to my choosing. I just had to have the music a certain length to span across 82 slides. Is there ANY WAY to reduce the size of this music wav file (so that it conforms to the 50 MB max file size for PowerPoint). I would rather embed this music file than to have a link.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI just built a new PC with a 120GB SSD and installed Windows 7 Ultimate. The Windows folder size on this machine is about 22.5GB, which seems kind of large to me. I have Windows 7 Pro on a laptop and the Windows folder size is around 12GB. Is there some things I can safely remove from the Ultimate install to free up some room. I'm already using about 2/3 of my new SSD and I need to load a few more applications.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy Windows folder is currently 16.8GB. This wouldn't normally bother me, but I do have an 80GB SSD.
Of course, I wouldn't ever edit anything in this folder because I don't want to screw anything up...but is there anything I can do? I just have a feeling that the folder is full of old files or backups that I no longer need.
but are the main components of my system:
Intel 2500k CPU
8GB Corsair Vengeance RAM
XFX Radeon HD6950
Gigabyte P67A UD3 B3 Motherboard
If I do the original size than it is way too overblown, but when I do fit to size (or whatever you call them) it has two black bars on flanking on the sides, so i want to fix that with tiles. But if I do tiles it shows them at original size which is overblown.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAs im having a clearout and tidying up storage folders prior to new back ups - is there a way in Win Explorer or a third party utility to see total size of a folder so when i look at a list of HDD contents i can see which is using up most disk space? each folder may have sub folders as well as files, but apart from right click to Properties i would like a quick quick way of viewing folder size. or even sorting by size rather than folder name. The Size column after Date Modified and then Type isnt wont show a total size. Surely theres a way of Windows or a utility that can show the total size of a folder??I can then quickly go to a folder which has a large content and see if i can delete some of its contents. Folders like "Photos" is obviously going to be large, but others arent!Also as i still get confused about the way WIN Backup works im seriously considering Acronis so as to have incremental backups.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIt appears windows does not cnform to the standard method of calculating file sizee.g. the standard value of 1GB is 1000MB, however windows uses 1024MB. As such it is not in fact a "Gigabyte" But a "Gibibyte". This is extremley annoying, as for egxample, I have a 2TB hard Drive, which in the settings tells me is:2,000,263,573,504 bytes, this is correct, however it also tells me that the hard drive is 1.81TB when it should say 2TB. Is there any way I can change windows's calculation method for file sizes? So that 1TB = 1,000,000,000,000 bytesinstead of 1,099,511,627,776 byte which is a TiB (or tebibyte) This is probably a very stupid question and pointless
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently purchased a Dell PC with free Windows 7 upgrade. I only installed Mozilla Firefox and Norton Internet 2009 on the PC before I upgraded to Windows 7. I decided to do a custom install from the upgrade DVD so that I could change the partitioning following an article in the November issue of Australin Personal Computer Magazine.
The article said "Windows 7 requires around 10GB of hard drive space. We're planning to keep applications on the same partition as well, so we'll generously add another 20GB, making a 30GB partiition". So during the install process I deleted all the existing partitions, created my partitions with 30GB for the OS. The install process created the system section and everything worked as expected. To my surprise once the install had finished there was 27GB in the C:drive. I assumed it was keeping the old Vista somewhere.
I couldn't find a windows.old folder and in Disk Clean up the button 'Clean up System Files' didnt show for me - there is only one User account and I am the administrator so I didn't know what was causing that problem. So I decided to re-install Windows and increase the OS partition to 40GB - which I did. Only to find that this partitiion is now 35GB full. Again, no windows.old file can be found but the 'Clean up System Files' button appears - but there are no 'Previous Windows Installations' to delete. I decided to bear with it, but already I have a red warning light that the C: drive is nearing capacity.
So I decided to try a third install of Windows 7 and forget the idea of partitioning all together. But now I can only format the OS partition and can not format or delete any other partitions during the custom install process and all my old files were still there after the install. I have formatted the other partitions (i.e. not C now but still they can not be formatted or deleted in anyway through the install process. Windows 7 will not install on any partition other than C:. So it seems this 40GB is all I have for the OS, but it is now full.
Anyone have any ideas what I should do next. I have read everything I can on this site, but the solution seems to be always to delete partitions, which I am unable to do, and format partitions, which I have done (where possible).
If I could solve the problem as to why Windows is now 37GB would resolve my issue, but it is concerning that I can't change the partitioning also.
I recorded a 2 hr 1970's movie off the air and the file size was 2.65Gb. I recorded a 3 hr modern movie off the air, and the file size was 28+Gb. I assume that the file size is because one was HD and the other wasn't, but is there a way to compress the HD file or a way in set-up to reduce the recording quality?The WinTV program that comes with my Haupauge tuner has such an option, but the setting doesn't seem to carry over to Media Center.Related to this, when I try to copy a recorded TV file to a thumg drive, it tells me that any file over arounbd 4Gb is too large, even though I am using a 16Gb thunb crive.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUpgraded from XP a week ago and now playing with 7 for the first time. I pulled the trigger completely so no going back. So far, I really like it, but need to get more comfortable with it.
Problem is my system restore points are ballooning and squeezing out old restore points. Example: I had roughly 10 points after manually creating each one when I was doing my initial software installs. A day later, I looked and they were all gone except for 1 point which had ballooned to fit my entire allocation (2 or 3%) at the time. So this 1 point killed all my previous 9 points. And I can't understand how this happened.
So I upped system restore to 7%/10GB to test what's going on, and now I'm consistently seeing 2GB sized restore points vs. a couple hundred megs which is what I expect.
The thing I can't abide is my restore points getting squeezed out for new ones. Maybe 1 or 2, but not all of them for a single massive one that's auto generated by the system.
EDIT: I've just confirmed that my system restore function is actually fluid...the restore points grow. I turned off restore, deleted all points, and rebooted. Then I manually created a single, new point as a baseline. It started out as 50 MB. And continues to grow, even as I check mail or open up my browser. Now that same single restore point is 94 MB.
So I can understand why I developed huge restore points, especially as I was playing around with 7, installing things, etc. The problem continues to be that a) the individual restore point files can grow to be huge (2+ GB), and b) the huge files push out old restore points.
I'm curious if this is by design or an actual flaw. I don't want my restore points to grow or be fluid. I want them to be a snapshot in time that I can revert back to in case I mess things up. Gold star to anyone that can turn the "fluidity" off.
I have three email accounts with gmail connected to outlook 2010. Sadly the PST file contains all the emails from my email addresses and since I hate deleting emails the PST files are huge.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have MS Access 2010 & have a database that has been about 45 MB in size for 2 years. About a month ago I noticed it now is 67 MB. I compact & repair every time I save it which is twice a month. I've gone back & did a compact & repair on the 67 MB file but it does not change.
I must have looked at & changed something without realizing it. The actual number of records appears to be correct. How can examine and/or compare tables or other internals between the two sizes? I've seen a program called AccdbMerge come up on a few Google hits & was wondering if anyone ever used it?
i have a video i wanna send to someone, its is 1.3 GB uncompressed, i have researched all the best Winrar compression settings and when i compress it the file ends up being 1052MB which is slightly to big for my preferred host site (Megaupload) - its driving me crazy theres no alternative to MU available that hosts over 1o24MB for free without asking for bank details and all that personal stuff.
So i would be greatful if anyone could suggest how i can make the file scrape under the 1024MB size (i can't compress so its loses quality when expanded btw) or suggest a alternative host site to MU that works.
