you might want to verify with microsoft but they tend to build upgrades on top of existing code or fail to uninstall the previous release when the upgrade has been installed.

This is a temporary file which gets created when we install new programs / softwares. Generally they are stored insite temp folder in c:&#92; or c:&#92;windows folder, \nWe use diskcleanup to clean these tmp files from our PCs. \nstart,run, cleanmgr \nor search for *.tmp < delete all the .tmp files from your system which Are no longer needed. \n\nregards.\nVictor \nMS Directory Services

You can search in the windows search box by "last accessed". If you know the time and date the activex control was running, you can look through all files accessed at exactly that time for something suspicious. Good luck!\n\n(However, the ActiveX control could simply be reading your installation ID, in which case all you can do is use a different computer)

What is the folder for??  If it is one you created on the local drive, it should stay as read only.  If it is a folder that some sort of software application created, the software application may prevent it from being changed.\n\nIf your on a client/server network, the administration may have overided it so it cannot be changed or you do not have the rights to change it.\n\nMany things could cause this, but not for sure without knowing what the folder is and your setup.

application file .. humm... if it's .exe file then ...4get it...\nyou could try by rename it.. but ..seriously..\nyou better clean thouse to give life to other exe application files.. coz it will infect them in notime..\nI think saving is the best option rather taking the risks of destroying the rest so .. have a clean SWEEP.

If you did not delete the files from Windows Me during the installation, you might be able to remove Win 2000 through the "Add-Remove programs" in control panel.\n\nBut why do you want to remove it?\n2000 is better than Me as far as I know.\n\nAnd why do you have a problem with XP if you have Win 2000?

that's pretty standard.  there are A LOT of files that are setup in the background to make other things run properly.  the only ones you should get rid of are the files/programs that you KNOW are not involved in the day-to-day running of your computer.  if you can't be sure of what you're deleting......DON'T DELETE IT!!!

Your username is not having access to these folders. This is the reason. You need to get the ownership of these folders.\n\nTo take the ownership of the folders, You must be having Administrative Privileges.  If you have it, then you can try these steps to delete those folders :\n\n1. Right click on the Folder. Click on Properties.\n2. Click on Security Tab\n3. In the lower-right part of the window, you will see a button named "Advanced". Click on it.\n4. Click on Owner Tab.\n5. Click on your Username / Administrator and put a tick on "Replace the owner"\n6. Click on OK. (Click "OK" for any windows appearing)\n\nNow you will be able to delete that folder.\n(These are the steps for Windows 2003 Server. Steps will be slight different for other versions of Operating Systems)\n\nGood luck.

no, just have to find out what is running in the background.. boot to safe mode, and search for all exe files, anything is not a legi name, you can delete it  ( or exe files with small byte size)\n\nyou may want to boot it up on safe mode, and scan with virus, spyware once again!

As per my knowledge there is no such folder callled Profiles in Windows XP. Can you tell the location of this folder? It could be possible that this Profiles folder belongs to some software instead.\n\n\nCheers,\nManish

Hey Satan what's up? Been awhile since I've talked to the devil (-:\n\nYou can also check with your ISP. I use Outlook Express for some dedicated email addresses and I have my pop3 mail server setup to "save a copy" of every email that passes thru. \n\nWorth a shot - what the heck. \n\nYou can also check your OE folders file in windows Explorer as it could be lingering around in there.\n\nMy folders file is located:\nC//\nDocuments and Settings\n(username)\nApplication Data\nLocal Settings\nApplication Data\nIdentities\nMicrosoft\nOutlook Express

That's a folder on your computer... is it poping up in an explorer window?  Or are you getting some sort of error like "cannot find C:&#92;Program Files&#92;Common&#92;..." \n\nif you are getting something like that, download the Autoruns tool from sysinternals.  Run it (it will take a while to scan your system for the things that start up when you turn the computer on).  Make sure you write down exactly what the error message is before you try using this program.  Once Autoruns has done it's thing (it will at the bottom of the screen say (without prompting) that it is finished it's scan) click the win logon tab and scroll down and see if you see the exact file that isn't running eg c:&#92;program files&#92;common&#92;program&#92;thing.exe and uncheck it.  \n\nBe very, very careful about this.  If you uncheck anything else, your computer may not start up properly (especially if the item in question has the word microsoft in the publisher name).  If this is too much for you to do, then call somebody who knows what they are doing.  It is sometimes better to pay for service rather than rely on yourself, since they can be held liable for any problems rather than you.

It sounds like that dll has been overwritten or corrupted some how. You could try the following link \n\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/default...1&PA=1&SD=HSCH\n\nI would suggest you create a system restore point first and make backups of important data.

Hi Maña! Try to check these folders:\n\nC:&#92;Documents and Settings&#92;%windows user%&#92;local setting&#92;internet temporal files\n\nC:&#92;%windows home%&#92;temp&#92;internet temporal files\n\nThese are the folders that Windows Xp uses to save the Internet cache files and it is an history of almost all visited sites (cached html files, images, videos, sounds, etc).\n\nWhere:\n \nC: is your hard drive unit.\n\n%windows user%: is the user that is used to initiated a session with Windows Xp.\n\n%windows home%: is the folder where windows is intalled
