Restore Default Libraries Not Working?
May 29, 2011
I own a Gateway Desktop PC which runs Windows 7 Home Premium x64bit.I had to restore it to it's default factory settings a few days ago as it was playing up severely and a system restore did not work etc...I was downloading some Windows Updates and after the updates installed and I restarted my PC, when I logged back in and clicked the Windows Explorer tab down the bottom... the folders in Libraries were gone (Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos) and the "Restore Default Libraries" does not work.I did an internet search to try and find a solution and came across a thread on here somewhere where Brink was speaking to people about it and there were a few tutorials... I tried them but nothing seemed to work for me...

So I've had my PC setup with an SSD for a while. It's just an Intel X25M 80GB so of course I need to try and save space where possible.
Since the beginning, I've already gone into the Library properties and changed their default save locations to a Documents/Pictures/Videos/Music folder created on my HDDs, and I was able to use mklink for the Downloads folder.
The problem I'm having is that some programs do not adhere to my settings. I'd much rather just use mklinks for this reason, but I simply cannot create one for the My Documents and other default library folders inside my Users folder. It seems like the folder cannot be deleted, as that is what the error tells me is happening.
I know for certain that Battlefield 3 and Skyrim both save to the default C:Users(me)My DocumentsMy Games folder, regardless of how I have it setup in my Library options. There's also a few other programs, there's an Adobe folder in there and maybe another 1 or 2. I also find it really strange about Skyrim, because that game is on Steam and every other Steam game I own saves to the proper location D:My DocumentsMy Games...
So the short version of all that, is whether it is possible to actually delete the My Documents folder from C:Users(me) and create an mklink, or is it just impossible and I'll have to create individual mklinks for all the stupid programs that keep using that location?

I accidentally downloaded chines and other asian fonts. I cannot delete them.
What I want is to remove ALL my fonts and only keep the ones that are Windows & default. So a minimum.
It seems I don;t have foreign keyboards installed or something like that.

My computer has been slowly deteriorating the last few days. It first ran a system repair every time I started the computer and would then boot to the desktop, then it would just loop through the system repair screen over and over. I am thinking that my last option is to restore the computer to it's factory default since I have everything backed up on an external hard drive.

I have an Acer Aspire 4730z laptop, upgrading from Vista to Windows 7 Ultimate. Did the upgrade install, but unable to by-pass the eRecovery Management.The 3 options are 1. Restore system from factory default. 2. Restore system from user's backup and 3. Exit. Option 1 and 2 are grayed out. Have disable the D2D Recovery option in the Utility screen. But still unable to by-pass the eRecovery Management. If am unable to by-pass this, my only option is to insert my recovery disk and restore to factory default losing data store on HD.

I changed the default program used to open RAR files from 7Zip to Windows Explorer, and now I can't change it back, When I right-click on a RAR file and click Properties, the "Change..." option isn't there to the right of "Opens with:" And when I go to Start > Default Programs > Associate a file type or protocol with a specific program, RAR files don't appear in the list.

i have a problem and i found this forum which seems good in providing solutions.I was attacked today by a malware and I did some actions to get rid of it and now all seems good.Among my actions I used unhide.exe.the problem now is that ALL my files and folders are visible, even those which were supposed to be hidden.Well, maybe there is no harm in that but maybe they were hidden for a reason, that's why i would like to restore them to their default state.I see in many places that they say to do this:Start Menu - type in Search box -> CMD find at top - Right Click on - RUN AS ADMINType or Copy and Paste this at the prompt :secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\inf\defltbase.inf /db defltbase.sdb /verboset i'm afraid to do it because elsewhere it says that it may make my system unstable and not restore all the default security settings.

I have hundreds and hundreds of fonts I have added to my Windows 7 OS 64 system font folder but it is really slowing things down. I tried 'restore default font settings' in the system fonts folder but the same fonts remain? How to I take it back to just the original fonts that came with Windows 7?

i do not know how to change fonts to default. it looks horrible. defaults were good. i tried couple of things but nothing is worked. sample font. sometimes in browser, half fonts are visible and even in scaled video player, too. check above images of Internet video player.
also check below font size in cpuz. in cpuz, i was not facing this problem before. i am facing after something happened/changed. i think i had changed default theme to windows classic and back to default. then, after i am facing this issue but i am not pretty sure.

I just got rid of that stupid Windows Restore virus and now my startup menu->all programs show the folders but non of the shortcuts inside them. I was wondering if someone knows a fast way to restore default windows 7 start up icons like Windows media, microsoft word, calculator? Or better yet if they know how I can get all my startup menu program folders to be restored, rather than show up as (empty)? I've tried an unhide program after the virus was removed and it fixed my documents, but it says to turn off firewalls etc. to restore startup menu which ive tried many times.

I have an HP dx7 laptop, which was experiencing repeated blue screens with many different error codes as well as periodically restarting seemingly at random. Occasionally it would also have the screen go black (looked like it entered sleep mode), which was unrecoverable.I tried to track down the various drivers and problems suggested by the error codes in the BSOD, but didn't have any success in preventing the blue screens/restarts. Eventually I decided to take the system recovery DVD's from HP, and reformat and reset to factory defaults. I figured at factory default settings if the system was still unstable, it'd point towards a hardware problem as opposed to drivers or other software.While performing the system recovery, it proceeds all the way to where it says "Setup is preparing your computer for first use" and gets to the step of installing drivers, at which point the system restarts. After booting up it then tells me that the installation has failed, and to reinstall. I've done this 3 times now, and get the same issue each time. I cant provide logs or dump files of the blue screens or other errors, since the HDD has been formatted as part of the system recovery.

In my user folder, I think I right-clicked the Favorites folder and changed the location to C: in an attempt to get rid of it. Now it seems my C:Windows folder has renamed itself to Favorites.
