I have to get rid of all traces of "illegal" files, tracks to files, mention that I ever even looked at said files on the internet or on my hard drive. This is my work computer and they are checking it this Thursday.XP professional SP2. As example, when I open Adobe Photoshop, it shows a link to every movie and pix I have viewed. I have deleted these files, so they no longer exist, but it shows the files as having been viewed.You click on the file in Photoshop, and it says the file is no longer available, but the NAME of the file, (ie Lesbian Girlfriends.mpeg) is still there. I have deleted History, the IE cache files, the cookies, the actual file itself, but I can't find the hidden file that still shows my viewing history. If the boss has soft ware that even detects that type of name, I'm screwed
I'm a producer and was about to master a production when the hole town I'm living in got out of electricity very good timing.

(I'm using Windows XP professional)
Can I recover messages I accidentally deleted in Outlook Express of Windows 2000XP? These messages were in their own file but somehow got moved to a subfile of the Deleted Items folder. In trying to removed the Deleted Items folder the sub-folder went with it. There were a large number of messages I had received via e-mail that I intended to keep.
First I booted from the Windows XP cd because I wanted to format the C drive. I had forgotten I had my external hard drive still plugged in and I accidently deleted the partition for it and created a new one. I didn't FORMAT it, but then when I started up my computer, all the files were gone. So does that mean my files are premanently deleted or can I save the files somehow?.
A way to recover deleted files that were deleted from the recycle bin.Maybe someone has a favorite utility that they've used with success.I am using Windows XP.
It said there was a change to the global template for microsoft word and did I want to save changes so I said no and the pc shut down. Later on I tried to call up my key logger and heard a beeping noise from within my pc. I paid it no attention and went on the rest of the day working. I was using Quicken later on and noticed that when I tried to view certain graphs they seemed to be "fluttering" (The page seemed to go up and down rapidly on its own) I closed it and ran Avast antivirus scan. I tried to activate it and got an error message that said it ran into some kind of runtime error (I think) I finly got it started, ran a scan and came up empty of viruses. Then Avast kept shutting itself off. I emptied my waste basket, went to internet options, deleted all files and history (Including online content) then cleared all in Firefox.
on my xp pro system, when im on the internet, every time i use the search facility it saves whatever i search in a list, this list automatically comes up when the next search is entered where is this list saved? is it posible to edit or delete this type of list?
My pc sometimes resets. It shows a bluescreen and then resets. The problem is that the reset is followed almost immediately after the bluescreen. I can't read the bluescreen. Is there a way to retrieve the last bluescreen. Is it saved somewhere?
I have recently upgraded to the latest version of MSN Messenger and started experiencing some ill effects from the upgrade. My user account on my computer will no longer store my passport information (for me or any other account on my machine). I have checked all of the settings in MSNM to make sure that nothing is set there, and there isn't. I have also gone through the wizard to setup the accounts for a .net pasport, and still doesn't seem to be working.
Running XP Pro.This has never happened before.When I try to save a file using a program, it saves the file as FILENAME instead of FILENAME.extension. Using Photoshop, when I try to save Rainbow.png, it saves the file as Rainbow if I don't include the .png in the Save As dialog. I have to manually rename the files without extension to Rainbow.png for example for it to be recognized as a .png file. This happens with each other program that saves files, such as audacity, FL Studio, hence even notepad.
I was able to use Movie Maker to save a lot of pictures to disk. They play as a slideshow. Is there a way to get actual pictures back. Playing then in Movie Maker and using the capture feature gives me MUCH lower quality pictures than I saved to disk.Also, when I want to save more pictures to disk, is there a way to save them as pictures and not a slide show?
Open a folder. Go to the tools menu, then go to the view menu.One of the boxes down on the list, says Remember Each folders View settings.I have that checked.HOWEVER, after I shut off the computer, and sometimes after I have ran any number of programs, all my folders reset to Icon view. Something is wrong with the system as it is not saving each folders view setting. Could this be due to a virus, or a corrupt entry in the registery file?
I'm currently trying to transition from XP to 7, and I want to keep the same image, but I saved it from a website, (right click: use as background), and can't find where it was stored. This would be a problem, but the site went down, and i've tried to find it for hours.
Ive got 2 links that i've sent to my desktop.When I click one it opens fine, and when I double click the other, it kills my previous site and opens in that same window.I'm beside myself in trying to find why this is happening. It does not happen on my laptop while using IE6.Just wondering is there some little setting that I am missing?
I have recently had my laptop stolen and have gone back to an old laptop which has XP; Having loaded my work from a backup DVD I am unable to open any of my word documents / Excel documents / (some Photoshop documents) When I try and open it it says it is 'wrong type of document' or 'file is not in a recognizable format' and their icons are strange and dont look the same.I am hoping that this is just somthing silly that I have forgotten to do as it seems strange that I cannot move the documents backwards through the operating systems!

Is there a way to remove or delete some files on the computer through the BIOS Set Up. Because my pc is not working properly as it keeps on loading because of the software/files that is currently saved on my pc...it really messed up my computer..won't even do some commands on the computer.

I'm using Windows XP Pro SP2 I have encountered what seems to be an undocumented feature of the file move action.I saved a web page including associated files from either IE7 or Firefox2.If I move the associated files folder to an other location the .htm file moves with it. Why? Who told it to do that? Where is the user configurable option for to link a file to a folder? Where is the global system behaviour option to enable this non standard file system behavior? If you move the associated files folder to an other location which happens to contain a .htm file with the same name (eg the very common index.htm file), the undocumented behaviour described above will still occur and the file will be overwritten without ANY standard file conflict warning and without any user choice in the matter.
The video I just made is 3 minutes 6 seconds long. When I save it (did this five differen't times) it ends at 2 minutes and 14 seconds? Why on earth? How do I fix this problem? This hasn't happened before. This is only my second video on movie maker, but the first time it worked perfectly. What's going on?
I clicked on a link within a webpage and picked something about saving it to my desktop; Windows asked if I wanted it available offline and I stupidly said yes.Now I have an odd-sized webpage-like thing embedded in my wallpaper and can't seem to get rid of it. I've used the search function with Windows and set it to look in hidden files and folders. I found and deleted three copies of the document through Seach, including one in my trash bin and still the offending item won't go away. Changing my wallpaper doesn't work either.
to re-installing Windows XP Home Edition from scratch? My PC has become unbelievable slow and in spite of all that I have tried in the last few months to fix it, nothing has worked. I have come to the conclusion to re-install and really CLEAN my computer so it will perform as it should. I have saved all documents and made a list of all the software installed to make the process easier.
When I log in I get the following error messages:The user mentioned in the file path on the bottom message is a different user than the one I'm using if that makes a different.

i'm pretty sure my entire fiasco has something to do with my registry.in my display properties i only have three tabs, screen saver, appearance, settings.in folder options "show common tasks in folders" is greyed out and "single click to open" is also greyed out and other options throughout certain settings are greyed out in speech properties the apply button is greyed out and when i click on audio input to adjust the volume the microphone volume it is way down and i bring it back up and press ok and go back and its down again.a lot of my settings are reverting back shortly after i apply them. its been like this for a couple months me being too lazy to do anything about it and before all this happened my system was working perfectly fine. then one day everything changed. i'm pretty sure its not a virus or a worm but i think something is wrong with my registry.
