View 7 RepliesMy kids downloaded limewire this weekend and downloaded a bunch of stuff--spyware included I think. Anyway, there are now tool bars installed that we keep uninstalling that reappear instantly, other programs we can't uninstall. Our MS Anti-spyware beta won't even run, we keep getting an error that says "rendering lens," and the computer is dragging in general.

View 3 Replies View RelatedThis Tweak Removes all banner ads from LimeWire 2.5 (may possibly work on older versions but I did not check). When performing this tweak, LimeWire must be completely shut down. If you simply 'x' out of the program, you must also exit LimeWire from the system tray.1. Go to C:Program FilesLimeWire2. Delete Cbanner2.dll and ads.war at the SAME TIME.3. Restart LimeWire and enjoy.If the Tweak does not work, try uninstalling the program and deleting the LimeWire folder from C:Program Files. Re-install the program and follow the steps above before ever running the program.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI run Wndows XP home and have been trying to delete the folder Winamp/Plugins/Milkdrop
Looking under 'properties' it says there are 0 bytes, 0 files, 0 folders. But when I hit delete on the Milk Drop folder I get a message saying the "Directory is not empty". I've uninstalled, reinstalled and uninstalled Winamp to no effect. The main problem is that it prevents Norton Systemworks running properly. It gets stuck when doing the system (registry) checks and when running Windoctor Wizard it stops as soon as it reaches the MilkDrop folder.
I have a folder that I can not delete. I had a bunch of folders with music files in them. I was re-arranging, renaming, and deleting them. At the end of the day, there was one folder that I could not delete from the recycle bin. When I tried to empty the recycle bin, it would delete files until it got to this one. Then I would get the message:(Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk). I would then have to go into the recycle bin and delete the remaining files manually. But this one would still not delete out of the recycle bin.

I deleted all the folders from my desktop except one. I keep getting this error message that I cannot delete this particular folder because it is being used by another person or program and to close any programs that might be using the file and try again. I've closed all programs and no one is using this file and still I can't delete it. I have Windows XP Home Edition.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWindows XP Home Ed. SP2. P4 3.2 GHz. 2 GB DDR RAM. Using my original Windows CD, I performed a Windows Repair. After that repair, I used another CD obtained through Microsoft containing sP2. After completion of the installation, a folder was placed on my C: drive. It has a long folder name: "4b50a7e303f1d0e0caeca2ce" with subfolders such as, "i386," "new" and "root," to mention a few. The files contained within those folders all end with an underscore such as: "accessor.in_" What is this folder and is it safe to delete?

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhile looking in "Windows(XPsp2) Explorer / Documents and Settings / Owner," I noticed a folder - "My Recent Documents." Within that folder there are a lot of files. My 2 questions are:1- Can these files be deleted?
#2- If they can be deleted, how would that be done? Would we do it just be high-lighting the files on right-side of screen and then deleting?
I have a folder (C:Program FilesMicrosoft Office) that won't delete. I get an error message about something to do with "A BIN file is not empty". Unless there is a super-duper utilty that would get rid of folders like that (which I would prefer) I know that I probably have to use the DEL command in Command Prompt. Could you please tell me exactly how to enter that and give a detailed example cause' I always mess it up! By the way I am no longer using Microsoft Office and also I tried unsuccessfully to delete it in safe mode
View 10 Replies View RelatedHave accumulated 28 folders and subfolders of AAWTMP in C:Documents & Settings/UserName/LocalSettings/TEMP in the last couple months and am unable to delete any of them. Error msg says "Cannot delete Directory is not empty". There are NO files in these folders and properties show 0 bytes in every folder. This is reportedly a folder created by Ad-Aware at every scan and is supposed to be removed after the scan but I just kept accumulating them until the last week when it stopped. Now the AAWTMP folder opens in the same directory on an Ad-Aware scan but is removed after the scan is completed and the program is closed but I'm still left with these 28 undeleteable folders.I have located AAWTMP in the registry in several keys under Lavasoft and also AVG but deleting them there does no good. I have uninstalled Lavasoft to see if that would unlock them but it didn't.
Besides trying manual delete and renaming each individual folder, have tried CCleaner - Ad-Aware - Spybot - Ewido - Killbox -Counter Spy and Unlock and repeated these in Safe Mode under Administrator. Online scans Housecall/TrendMicro - Panda - Symantec show nothing.Opening the folders shows nothing at all, just empty folders, even though the error message continues to say that they are not empty. Nothing will delete them, so far.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIt's a silly question I know, but I've noticed my C:Documents and SettingsCompaq_OwnerLocal Settings Temp folder is HUGE and since my security scans are getting long I'm trying to reduce the files they scan, however - not sure if these are needed. Some folders are empty, some contain .exe files from programs I downloaded ages ago and have since uninstalled etc. How do I know what I can get rid of and what's the purpose of this folder in the first place?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was trying to change the icon of my file folders to something else, and somewhere it said that I could do that at the file types tab of folder options in the control panel. I tried it and it didn't work (not important). However, whenever I opened a folder, it just opened search. I went back and looked at the actions and I didn't see open in there, but find was there (not in bold or anything), so I guessed that it was "find"ing instead of opening. I added a new action called "Open" that used explorer.exe and set it to the default action, but now every folder opens in a new window. I can't delete the action at all and have no idea how to change it. I'm new here and am not sure if this thread is where it belongs. (First post btw).
