I'm trying to burn files to a double layer DVD +R using Windows Explorer. The total size of my files is:
7.43 GB (7,980,351,488 bytes)
When I drag the files onto the disc, I get this error:
"There is not enough space on BD-RE Drive. You need an additional 3.28 GB to copy these files."
My C and D drives only have about 4GB free each, so Windows must be trying to use one of those to store the temporary files before they're burned. But my E drive has about 40GB free. How do I get Windows to use that drive instead?
I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.
I've used it in the past to identify and fix everything from blue screens (BSOD's), ActiveX errors, corrupt files and processes, dll/exe/sys errors, recover lost memory, Windows update problems, defragging, malware removal etc.
You can download it direct from this link http://downloadreimage.com/directdownload.php. (This link will automatically start a download of Reimage that you can save to your computer.)
I have a 240gb ssd and want to move my Downloads, Docs, Music ect.. to a bigger hard drive. When I access the files properties, then change location it changes them all to the same location?

Hi, I was trying to change the location of my desktop file in my laptop but, accidently I selected a location in my user name folder ie C:\\user\. Because of this now my desktop shows all the files inside my user name folder and I can't fix it to show only the files in the desktop. Is there any way I can fix it??
I have tried to re-move that folder in to other location, but since that is a folder associated with my account (user name) the system won't let me do that. Please help !
Your best bet is a system restore to a point in time before you attempted the file location change.
If that doesn't work or you don't have any system restore points, this tutorial explains how to return user folders to their default location.
User Folders - Restore Default Location
i was just looking into speedeing things up in vista
and wondered would it be possible to move my page file to a usb flash drive and would that improve the performace of it (the page file) and in turn vista?
any info advice on the matter would be much apreciated
Yes it is possible however I'm not sure that it would really help considering the transfer speed (unless that is you have USB 3.0 with a USB 3.0 device) especially if your pagefile is hardly used.

I'm dealing with a user whose Default File Location in Excel 2000 will not change from her My Documents location. She wants it changed to a network location and we've used the UNC path (\\servername\share\subfolder1\subfolder2) and a mapped drive she has set up (P:\Accounting\Groups\etc).
However, neither one holds. The network location will hold for a day or 2 and then revert back to her My Documents location.
Does anyone have any ideas on a fix?
You may be able to get away with using a macro that is attached to the Personal.xls template. Just add the code to the workbook_open event of the template file (Personal.xls) so that it will fire each time Excel is opened. If you are unsure how to access Personal.xls just follow these steps.
1) Open Excel and record a macro using the macro recorder. When the macro recorder box pops up change the option under "Store Macro In" from This Workbook to Personal Macro Workbook and click OK. This will create your Excel template called Personal.xls
2) Stop the macro recorder (doesn't matter if no action was taken)
3) Press ALT + F11 to bring up the VB editor.
4) Drill through the project explorer Window on left to find object called "ThisWorkbook" under Personal.xls and right click it and choose view code.
5) Paste the code below into the blank code module and save.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.DefaultFilePath = "C:\YourPath"

Hello, I have a question about the Windows Library system. I recently downloaded RPG Maker Ace and when I try to save the game/project, it saves it in Documents! I would like to know if there is any way to change or stop this program (also happens with some video games) from saving the projects in this location and possibly save it in a sub-folder of Documents or within the Program x86 files themselves.

In Kodak EasyShare I want to change the location where pictures are stored. I have not been able to do this despite spending hours experimenting.
There does not seem to be any way to change from the default location that EasyShare installs.
I tried backing up and then restoring to a different location. I was able to do this and the files have been copied to the new location but I cannot get EasyShare to access the files in the new location - it just continues to use the old default location.
There does not seem to be any way to enter/modify a path to the file location.
I have searched extensively in the Help program and in the FAQ at the Kodak site but found nothing helpful.
Would really appreciate any advice/help with this.
You can the default location in the Easy Share programs options. I just did this for my parents a few weeks agao. It's there and pretty obvious it's got the entire save path listed. I can't be more specific then that since I don't use it.
I am using Microsoft Excel 97 and no matter how often I change the default file location from Tools-Options-Genenral Tab, when I restart the program, it goes back to original default file location.

I also have other non-Microsoft software that I want to change default file location as well. Please help me. Thank you.
In Word 2000 there was a field to put the location where you wanted the files to be kept. In 2003 the same field is there for Excel and Power Point but not for Word. It lists the drives where the files are kept but no way I have found to change.

There are registry edits you can do to point Windows to your other drive but IMO they are more trouble than they are worth. Personally, I just recreate the folders on my hdd and then forget about the ones on the ssd. A few unused folders on the ssd don't take much space or bother anything.
Using the "libraries" feature of Win 7, you can add the new folders from your hdd to the Documents, Pictures, Music, etc... Libraries so they are readily accessible. You can even remove the folders on your ssd from the Libraries if seeing the empty folder there bothers you.
A quick Google search did not turn up anything.
I want to change the Fie Explorer default opening location from the Libraries to 'This PC -> Desktop'. However, both 'Target' and 'Start In' fields in the File Explorer properties are greyed out.
I am an administrator, and as far as I can tell with my level of know-how, I have full permissions.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

hi there. i am running outlook 2003 on an exchange server and have a signature file for outgoing emails which is saved on the c:\ in documents and settings. is it possible to make outlook look for the file from another location e.g one of our other network drives n:\
what this would let us achieve is that if i was to move to another pc for example, when i log in with my username outlook would search for my signature file on the network and allow me to use it without creating another, if i was to move to another pc the same day it would follow me to that one.
sorry if this sounds overly complicated or if i sound thick, if it cant be done thats ok
EDIT: FOUND IT! SEE http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/office/2003/all/reskit/en-us/oe_outc03.mspx
Seems to indicate that this is not possible.
What you might be able to do however is locate your entire machine profile on a network share, and then have each machine load the profile (including signatures) from there.

There's no easy way to change the location of WEMail contacts. Any registry hacks for any Windows application only makes your system less stable. I don't know of any registry tricks for this.
A better way is to move your entire user profile to a sperate partition on the root drive.
User Profile - Change Default Location - Method One
This is preferred over changing individual standard folders location in the folder properties (Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos) and changing default locations inside an application (Msg Store location).
I set up my system that way, it's much cleaner and a reinstall doesn't affect that User profile partition (unless you do a factory reset or tell the install to use the entire drive).
You should use the root drive so that it is always available when you boot the system.

Hello hvaleton Welcome to the Ten Forums!
I just right clicked on an image file here and chose the Edit option and the "save as" to save the jpeg file with the word "duplicate" added into the file name to save it in the original location. You may want to try starting with the Paint app first you find in the Start>AllApps>Windows Accessories list and then simply choose the open option in the file menu to browse to and select the intended file. You can also see that pinned to the Start menu as well as to the main taskbar with a fast right click.
If your copy of 10 was an upgrade install that might explain the problem you are seeing since the upgrade install tends to not see everything go on fully at times. The word "Buggy" tends to fit the bill for that type of install and not specific to 10 only but every version coming up from Legacy to 9x onto ME, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, and now 10.
The one thing favored with having the Windows Photo Viewer restored replaced by Photos in 10 is that once you have any image or photo in view you can simply to upto the menu and select the "Make a copy" option and browse to the location you want the new copy to be created and saved to on the spot.
You just can't alter things like you can with MS Paint or the favorite for many 3rd party free image editing program known as PaintNet. Besides painting over and erasing things if not drawing lines under and around objects in an image you can add new layers in order to insert cutouts with that one.
In Windows 7, all the good icons are in %SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll, but we're still taken to the old SHELL32.dll when it comes time to change an icon.
Is there a registry key or something that we can change to remedy this?

Hope this helps,
I've been really annoyed with the regenerating Searches and Favorites folders that pop up under my user and I saw that one potential fix of it was to click under Location and move it to somewhere else Well I chose Temp I figured hey whenever the Favorites folder regenerates it'll be under the Temp folder and it'll just erase itself and whatnot Except instead it changed the Favorites folder to Temp under user Now it won't Change Location Can't let me erase it because it says there's stuff currently active So I make the mistake of moving the location of THAT to Can't Change Location OS and now naturally OS is under my user and can't be removed On top of that Favorites has just regenerated so now I've got the same problem I had before except on top of it a duplicate OS folder is located under my username How do I fix this The last thing I want to do is click on the duplicate OS and quot restore default quot so it sends OS stuff to the Favorites folder if Can't Change Location it would even allow that especially because for some stupid reason the Temp files are being sent there now I don't want to just quot hide quot the folder because I have it so hidden folders are shown I don't have a backup from yesterday to restore my computer I don't want to restore my whole computer back to factory settings Is there anything I can do to at least put this duplicate OS safely gone with Temp being fully restored and not in the Favorites folder even if it means I have to keep the stupid regenerating empty Favorites folder
After manually selecting all the contents of the Favorites folder (which housed some, but not all, of the temp files), and deleting them, I was able to delete the Favorites folder, but I'm pretty sure that when it regenerates, it'll be the Temp files in there rather than the empty Favorites folder.
And the more pressing issue of the OS is still hanging there. There's no option to delete (not that I would try doing that anyway) and if I click the Properties > Location for it, and then "restore default", it says to send all OS files to C:\Users\(username)\Favorites.
Does anybody know how I can fix these problems? I'd REALLY appreciate the help!

Hi Kill3dwardDead,
No Microsoft didn't remove the Location Tab, your just clicking properties for the wrong item
Your clicking properties on the Library folder called "Documents", instead expand the library folder and click properties on the "My Documents" folder, from there you can see the location tab and change its location
Hope it helps.

That screenshot is showing another network on your pc unconnected. I am guessing that it is your unused onboard lan. If you never wire your pc to use a connection and only use wireless, go to the device manager and disable the onboard lan.
Make sure you have UPnP Device Host service set to auto and that it is currently running. Do that by typing services.msc in the start menu's search box.
Hi i was wondering in windows xp and any windows os really... is it possible to change the location of the desktop folder? For instance i want to move it to another drive. When i save something to my desktop it will go to that drive instead of my C drive.
Definitely less easy than with "My Documents" (where you right-click and change target)
It might be a bit dangerous too, if you need to unplug drives or something. I wonder how Windows would behave if it couldn't find the path at logon.
usually in default its located in "C:\ProgramData" with 32bit/64bit and its hidden i want to change the location to another driver like i manage to change the Appdata to another driver using Regedit this is very useful for me cause every time i get a virus that will end up reformatting my OS my files stored in Appdata will be saved and it saves me a lot of time but i can't find how to change ProgramData in regedit so anyone here knows how?

Hi everyone,
I'm getting tired of backing up every new Win7 Build so I thought to chuck all my data on my 2nd HDD and that way backups won't be needed.
There's only one thing...Fonts.
I want to change the default C:\Windows\Fonts Dir to D:\Fonts
I have changed the reg entry HKCU/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/WINDOWS/CURRENTVERSION/EXPLORER/SHELL FOLDERS
and restarted, but there hasn't been a change, all fonts still go to C:\Windows\Fonts.
Is there anyway of doing this?
I think the problem you are having is due to MS's transition to relational database friendly OS. The registry will be non-existent or minimal in future MS operating systems as a result of this transition. The configuration for the system directories is apparently one of the early parts affected.
If this is the case, I don't know how to fix it, but I know where you'll want to look. Your problem will have to do with setting the value of FOLDERID_Fonts (CSIDL_FONTS). I would venture to guess that this is set by some .msc configuration application, likely one in the system32\en-US\ folder.
Good luck

I just finished installing Win 7 on its own drive (for the 2nd time) and on a separate partition. The problem is that I can't point "Program Files" to its partition. I watched the video by W.H. Schroeder but when i click on "Properties" for the file folder "Program Files" Win 7 does not show a "Location" tab so could change it from C: to M:. There must be a way because others have multiple partitions in Win 7 but it seems to be eluding me.
You can move the User folders if you want.
Documents, Pictures, Videos, Music, Podcasts
In fact, I would recommend do this, keeping User DATA seperate from the OS.
1) It keeps fragmentation down
2) I makes creating a system Image/Backup much faster.
3) In the even you must reinstall Windows, all of your User DATA in these folders will remain on the selected hard Drive, so you do not loose it by formating.
But you can not move "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)"
And why would you want to?
If installed programs are not with the OS and you must restore a image or backup to a time BEFORE a certain app was installed, it may no longer work.
If you re-instal Windows, those applications on the other drive may no longer work either.
You will still have to re-install them.
Installed programs should be with Windows.
If for Some reason you want an Application installed to a different drive (separate from the OS) you can simply make a Folder on that drive for those programs.
Then manually choose the install directory.
Perhaps I am misunderstanding your question here.

I am wanting to change the default save location from my SSD to my HDD. My SSD contains my OS and I want to keep it fairly empty. I know I need to get into regedit and make a few changes but I'm not 100% sure.
Last time I did this I had to restore because I couldn't access regedit or download anything so I know I made a mistake somewhere anyone with some better knowledge that can I help ill be very happy but in the mean time ill look for that write up thanks in advance.
What exactly are you trying to save?http://www.sevenforums.com/software/135346-how-change-save-location.html
when I right click on an image I get the message "save the image as" and the default location is 'my pictures'.
how do I change the default location?

Hi guys, new to the forum, and already need help
i just reformatted my computer i decided ill change my documents location to another drive where my stuff was backed up AKA my old documents folder. What happened was it wanted to make it so it merged the two folders together so that there wont be 2 my music, 2 my pictures, and 2 my videos. But instead of merging it deleted everything in those 3 folders, now im stuck with no music and pictures, video doesnt matter, actually my main concern is the pictures. I am running Vista Enterprise. thank you in advance
You'll need to use a software to recover deleted files. You should stop using your computer till you can get hold of the software (there are many; Active Undelete is a good one) so that any of your activities do not overwrite the deleted files (when windows deletes files, it leaves the data on the drive but marks that space as free, so there is a chance of it being still there and recoverable).
Use the advanced scan feature if you're using Active Undelete, and recover the files to a different harddisk/partition that the one you're recovering from.
I usually try to separate data from system files and programs, to counter defragmentation and for better backup possibilities. So I would like to change the location of the user folders (by default: c:\users) so that user data is stored on my data partition instead (d:\users). So far I was able to manually move most of the "My XYZ" folders ("My Documents", etc.) by clicking "properties" and then "Path". However, it is not possible for all of it, and I also would like to move all those roaming/appdata folders, so that user-specific configurations are moved as well.
Is that possible?

Yes, this is possible, but it's best to have done this with a clean install before installing any programs.

Hello everyone,
Always when i install a new version of windows i change the default location of music, documents, downloads etc. Accidentally i change the documents folder to Documents without the \ after D: (don't know why windows let me choose this location in the first place). But I can't change the location, every time i right click on the documents folder to change the location, explorer crashes.
First I thought it wouldn't be a big problem by changing the default folder in different programs to D:\Documents for example in Office. But for soms programs it's a problem, I can't change the default folder and it takes Documents which gives an error.
It's also creating random documents folders on my D partiton.
How can I change the default folder for documents?
PS I'm not talking about the library folders, but the folders underneath "This PC"
Open Regedit and navigate to this subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
In the right pane, make your appropriate edits for whatever you want to do. The ones of interest to you seem to be: Personal, My Music, My Pictures, My Video and {374DE290-123F-4565-9164-39C4925E467B} <<<(for Downloads).
This location may be of interest too:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
You must stop explorer.exe with task manager, then restart it with task manager, for changes to take effect. Or reboot instead.
If it still crashes after, look to find the culprit software with ShellExView.

Welcome to the windows 8 forum.
Most programs during the initial setup phase allow a choice between default and customization of the location for the program and it's files. Some files are required to be installed in the programs directory and some in the windows directories.
Just the way it is. but select customize and most allow you to install on another drive and directory.
I recently built a new pc and I installed the os on my ssd. Now I want to keep my ssd clean from everything apart from my main applications. I changed the program files thing in regedit so new programs install to my hdd but I still get programs that dump their files in my ssd. for example i recently installed vlc and it dumped all the files into (my ssd):\Users\my_pc\VLC. is there anyway to change this? dropbox did the same thing.
I really want to keep my ssd as clean as possible. is there anyway to set it up so that all programs that are being installed that don't give you a chance to change the directory go straight to my hdd?
Thanks very much
Programs usually always ask you where to put it, you just change the drive letter. VLC didn`t give you this option ?
I use VLC all the time, run it off the ssd anyway.
My hard disk is divided into two partitions a C:\ and a D:\ drive. I want to reformat and create just one partition C:\.

Question: is there a quick and easy way to go into Regedit and change all the D:\drives to C:\???

I am going to partition the drive into C and D so the OS and programs are on C and all data is on D, then take an image of C. This is so that, even though I may have data backups, the data is safe should the OS need a reinstall.
What is the proper way to point each user's account to their own 'My Documents' on 'D'? Is it best to right click on My Documents, click Properties, then either 'Move' or 'Find Target'? If so which, and is there a better way of doing this? If this is not the correct way from a Documents and Settings point of view, what is the proper way to make Windows point to 'My Documents' on the D drive?

As anyone who is reading this post know that on the start menu there is an icon 'My Music' that when it is clicked it will link you to the My Music folder. (To its location : My document/My music)
I want to change the location of My Music icon on the start menu.
What I am saying exactly is, I have the hard drive split in 2, one of them for the windows and the other for the files( like music,pictures,softwares.....). I want that when i click on My Music icon on the start menu, it will link me to the folder on the other partition (not that location in my documents).
Could that happen?
Thanks for taking your time reading my post.
Hi ...yes, it can happen, I believe.
You can try this: Right-click the shell folder (My Music) in Windows Explorer, drag the folder to the new location, release the mouse button, and select the Move Here item.
Note: If Windows Explorer complains, then you must use the registry to move the folder location and manually move the contents.
Or...you can do like I do and just ignore the My Music folder (I don't store any files in it) and I just create folders for music files wherever I want them. From there, if I wanted a shortcut, I would just right-click and send one to the desktop.
And there are other ways of doing what you seem to want...the above seems to be the easiest attempt that I could find.

I've installed windows 8 on a SSD harddisk of about 100GB. In general I don't really want anything else there, I've got plenty of space elsewhere, so I install drivers etc. there, browsers and perhaps a few essentials, then nothing more. I've moved the location of all user files (music, downloads, ...) to another disk.
Is there anyway to stop installs having the default location into Program Files, or Program Files (x86)? I know it's not the hardest thing in the world to change the directory during an install. But I know from experience that after a while, the SSD will start to become full. Because at some point, sometime in a rush, random installations have ended up into C:\ directory.
It is not really recommended to change the program files default location - see here. You can always direct each program to install in a separate folder (for some it does not work). But there are proposals on how to change the default location - see here.http://www.eightforums.com/general-support/64389-possible-change-default-install-location-c.html

Well it should be editable in the Target tab, but you say that doesn't affect how it operates? You are clicking 'ok' or 'apply' before checking the general tab correct?
You can also try resetting it to default

I'm in charge of security and fixing problems on my grandma's two computers. She typically installs several hundreds of games on her computers. I would prefer her to install the games to "c:\program files\games" rather than "c:\program files" as that folder ends up getting so cluttered that I can't tell what's in there. Is there a way to change the default installation location from "c:\program files" to "c:\program files\games"? She's too lazy to change the location manually when she installs software, so it would be nice just to change the default location, but I'm not sure how to do that on Windows 7. Thanks.

You can't change the location of the Desktop folder. That would cause some serious problems. Most likely, you wouldn't see any icons or worse, Windwos explroer would not start or would crash often.

Hi. Lately I have been cleaning up my desktop in order to make it as minimalistic as possible, and as easy as possible to use. I am almost done, but I would just like to do one more thing, which is move the libraries icon over to the right where the smaller icons are (not sure what they are called), so I just have a button for my browser on the left. I'm not sure if this is possible, but if it is, I would greatly appreciate the help. Thank you!

Have just installed win 7 Prof upgrade. I have read the---how to change the default location of user folders in win 7 and win8. The problem with this and other ways always come down to a tab called --LOCATION--. I have only five tabs in properties on my documents folder (that I want to move MY DOCUMENTS to another disk). The 5 taps are GENERAL,SHARING,SECURITY,PREVIOUS VERSIONS,CUSTOMIZE. I followed the instructions in above tutorial---
5. Press the Windows+R keys to open the Run dialog, type shell:UsersFilesFolder, and press enter.
NOTE: This will open your C:\Users\(user-name) folder.
6. Right click or press and hold on a user folder (ex: My Music, My Documents, My Pictures, etc.....) that you want to move the default location for, and click/tap on Properties. (See screenshot below)
From what I have read a few places I might be in the wrong place.So what am I doing wrong.
Hello Bill,
If you like, you might consider this below to be able to access the files from your libraries with the files actually located where you like instead. This way you will not have to worry about any potential issues that come with moving user folder locations.
Create a new folder at any location you want.
Move any files you want into the new folder.
Include the new folder into a library of your choice (ex: Documents).
If you like, you can also set the new folder to be the default "save" to location for the library as well.
Hope this helps.

I installed Windows 7 on a second partition on my dad's laptop a while ago.
I am now trying to remove the original Windows Vista partition which has the "System" marker in info in DiskPart. Removing Vista from the bootloader in EasyBCD causes an "Operating System Not Found" warning on boot and requires Startup Repair to be run from the Windows DVD which replaces Vista in the bootloader.
Is there any way (preferably without reinstalling Windows 7) to change which volume Windows attempts to boot from? I had previously run "bcdboot C:\WINDOWS /s C:" before I got the OS not found warning.
Okay... It turns out there is an option in EasyBCD to change the boot drivehttp://www.sevenforums.com/installation-setup/372709-method-change-windows-bootloader-location.html
Hi all This friday i plan to do a clean install of Windows because im running the RC right now but bought the Retail version Im going to plan out my partitions so that i have one pertition for the OS and Change Files Program location? default another for my personal files and Program Files So i just wanted to know how would i change the location from my C partition of the program files to lets say the D drive other partition Am i supposed to do it manually by cutting the folder and pasting it and whenever i install a program i change the directory or is there an automatic way like changing a registry value Look forward to your answers Thanks edit after further research it looks like u can change a reg value but it may cause problems with some Microsoft software What do most of you Change Program Files default location? people here do cause i've read that some people here have separate drives for program files
The program files are a part of the OS .. I see no reason to put them in another partition.
A different partition for your personal data is a good idea if you plan on having a lot of data.
Hey Techs'
How to change the default download location in MS EDGE on Windows 10 Pro on Surface Pro 3.
When I open Explore, it opens at Desktop/Libraries. Since I do 99% of my work in a single folder C:/Work, I want it to open there.
Have searched online and in forums with no luck.
(Also similar problem on my Vista 64 machine... opens to Roaming/Windows/Microsoft/StartMenu
The following works in Windows 7 to force Explorer to open in the root of D.
You should be able to modify it to make it open in C:\Work.
Right click explorer icon on taskbar, then right click explorer in the jumplist and choose properties.
%windir%\explorer.exe /e, root,d:\
Enter the above string in the target box to force explorer to open in the root of D:
Windows Explorer Taskbar Icon - Change Open To Target
The following may work also:
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /N, /E, D:
I recently moved my sidebar from the right to the left side because I was tired of the same old look. But now whenever an icon shows up on my desktop for any reason it appears still on the left, right underneath the sidebar and I have to close it just to move the icon. Can I change the default location for them to appear?
I have Vista HP and can drag the desktop icons anyplace I want them.
Have you tried to do that?
Hi -- thanks for taking the time to read this.
On my laptop, I am dealing with a very small primary boot partition of 17GB. This was my own fault for not realizing how much larger Vista was than XP. I have tried to extend the partition to no avail (even using mspart from the command prompt).
Basically it is not a problem except MS wants to download 5GB of updates. I don't have that much room on the partitiion. Is there any way I can change the default location of where MS downloads and installs (sources) its update files? With about 2GB free and NOTHING on that partition except the OS, I can hold out for a while before I have to do the cursed reinstall if I can figure this one out.
Currently all windows updates are stored in C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder.
I would like to change the location to some other drive as my c drive is getting filled.
I saw using WSUS utility but I am not sure if it works on my laptop as that is something for server.
Please suggest me how to do it.
Also let me know if I can delete these update folders once its installed.
I am using WIN 7 ultimate 32-bit
Hopefully this helps:
Click the "Start" button on your desktop. Click the "Control Panel" option.
Double click the "Automatic Updates" icon on the control panel page. This opens a dialog box for setting options to receive, store and install Microsoft automatic updates.
Allow all updates that become available to automatically download and install on your computer by clicking the circle next to "Automatic." Click the drop down boxes to choose the days and time new updates are installed. This option will store the downloads until the installation time selected.
Receive the updates, but install them at your discretion. Click the circle next to "Download, but let me choose when to install." You will be notified when new updates become available. Review each update description to decide if the application is needed.
Choose to save Windows updates externally. Click the "Notify me, but don't download or install" selection to keep update links open. The updates themselves will be saved on the server unless you choose to retrieve and install them.
If that doesn't help, read this page:
Hi all
I have recently bought a new desktop PC running Windows Home Premium. I have a 2 year old laptop which I was using before but now I want to create a Lan using an ethernet cable between my new desktop and laptop. Both computers recognise a Lan cable is plugged in but when trying to set the Network location to home I am unable to. I just want to move files off the laptop without doing it over the wireless as this would take alot longer. How do I change this?
Thanks for the help
Welcome to Windows Seven Forums.
You may find some useful information here: Networking home computers running different versions of Windows
To transfer files easily you might consider buying an Easy Transfer cable to connect the two computers. Having said that, using your wireless connection shouldn't be that much slower.
To use an ethernet cable for a LAN, you need to connect both computers to your router rather than to each other.
i want to change the location path for the whole system user proflies. i tried the KB from microsoft and they explain how to modify an user proflie but that is not what i want to do. i tried the system variable environment but seem not to work for administrator users or it not work at all. what i want to do is to change the location, for example, instead of users profiles to be stored in c:\documents and settings\ i want them in other partition as d:\documents and settings\ but for the whole system. meaning that apply for All Users, Default User, Guest, Administrator, and so on.
any procedure to acomplish it?
any help is welcome...
There seems to be some fairly good directions here and here, uless you have seen that already.
After i changed the apps install location to D:/WindowsApps. I downloaded an app named VLC player and it says that it could not install
i deleted D:/WindowsApps and switched back to the original location but when i install the same app again, it trying to install in D:/WindowsApps and the same error appear
I reseted Windows Store and run CCleaner but Windows Store keep trying to install app in D:/WindowsApps
please help me. i don't want to reinstall Windows 8 again because i already did 3 days ago
It is not recommend to change the Windows Store apps install location. This will cause Windows Store apps or the store itself to stop working.
1. press Win+R on the keyboard then type "regedit" and press enter.
2. Go to following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Appx
3. Change the string value PackageRoot to the value: WindowsDriveLetter:\Program Files\WindowsApps (If Windows don't let you change the value, try take ownership of the key and try again.)
4. Reboot your PC and see if you can install apps.
If you cannot install apps, try re-register Windows Store and try again.
If you still can't install apps, refresh your PC may resolve the issue.
I want basically everything to go to my 1TB HDD (D by default, but hardly anything does. My SSD (C is now at 18.6GB. Is it possible to make the D: drive my "main drive" while not moving all the MS/Windows files there too and messing everything up?
The computer in use is an MSI GT72 2PC laptop, upgraded from Windows 8 to 10.
Thanks in advance for you help.
I Location Change Documents/Pictures/Video My have a new laptop a Dell Precision M The first thing I did was a format and a clean install with Windows Ultimate So far so good and it certainly seems to be an improvement over XP Being an oldtimer I like to partition the hard drive and put all of the data folders onto the D drive It makes it easy to backup and lets me reload the operating system without losing My Documents/Pictures/Video Location Change information Windows lets you change the location of the user folders My Documents My Music My Pictures and My Videos I used that feature to move all to the D drive Since then in Windows Explorer there folders that were moved are shown as multiples of the D drive In Computer gt Local Disk C gt Users gt My Account gt the folders are listed as below AppData Contacts Desktop Downloads Favorites Links Saved Games Searches If however I click on my account shown under Desktop in the Explorer the folders are AppData Contacts Data D Data D Data D Data D Desktop Downloads Favorites Links Saved Games Searches It's not a big deal but it does seem a bit odd The location option no My Documents/Pictures/Video Location Change longer appears when I right-click the moved folders so it seems that their existence as those default folders is no longer valid or it isn't My Documents/Pictures/Video Location Change possible to restore them to their original location I thought of deleting my account and creating a new one but that seems a bit extreme as all other functions are good The registry does show the My Documents etc as all being the D drive but editing that to the original location does nothing As I say it's certainly something I can live with but if anyone has a suggestion fire away Stephen
Hello Stephen, and welcome to Seven Forums.
It seems like the WARNING under step 9 in the tutorial below is what happened to you.
User Folders - Change Default Location
Backup the contents of these folder to be safe, restore the default user folder locations, and delete any user folder that does not have the "Location" tab in it's properties windows. Now repeat moving the default location for the user folders, be sure to use the tutorial above to not avoid the issue in the warning at step 9.
Hope this helps,
We visited Canada and while there the Google search switched to Canada. I did not do anything to cause this. Now back in the US I cannot get it to switch back so that it searches in the US.
Please help.
Removed Email
Instead of visiting www.google.ca go to www.google.com
Make sure to also clear your browser cache.
It will switch over.
After installing Win7 RC1, I changed %ProgramFiles% to D:\Program Files in the registry, as that's where I wants files to install by default. But then Action Center was complaining that Windows Defender wasn't running, and I figured it was probably because I changed %ProgramFiles%. Windows Defender is located in C:\Program Files\Windows Defender.
I went into the registry and tried to change references to Windows Defender's location, but when I try to do so, I get this error:
Cannot edit: Error writing the value's new contents.
Any ideas?
Xax, I would imagine that Defender WOULD NOT let you change it as a security reason. If you could change it, then a virus or other malicious software could use that to disable it right? You may have to leave it and work around it.

This page has a bat buying guide and overview of the best metal bats on the market. (If you think one should be added to the list, feel free to comment below).
All companies get as close to that speed as possible, so from that aspect all bats are similar.
He has Major League time at every infield position, and has played every position on the field professionally except for catcher. Composite bats get better with use.
One piece bats are starting to get overtaken by the two piece bats. Doug Bernier , founder of Pro Baseball Insider. I have a B3 gear right now so I can use it in little league and travel team. The more you use it the more it compresses and the better the bat becomes.
(If you think one should be added to the list, feel free to comment below). I like this article a lot but you did forget to mention one key bat brand, COMbat. Usually the players that are bigger and stronger prefer a heavier bat for maximum power, while a lighter bat can maximize bat speed for smaller players. December 6, 3.
Notify me of followup comments via e-mail. One more thing is that when you have a composite bat I heard that you are supposed to keep it in a warm area and not use it in cold weather because it does not perform as well.
A stamp will be found somewhere on the barrel of the bat. The price tag on these bats is a little higher, and they take longer to break in, but from many accounts, the end result is worth it. Some of the best metal bats are composite.
Outside of that, for younger kids, you can get a drop 10, or drop 5.This page has a bat buying guide and overview of the best metal bats on the market. Flood City Elite on May 21, 5: Hitting to real baseballs all around the barrel is recommended. It has been eliminated because it failed to account for how bats would perform after they were broken in.
All bats are weighted a little differently, because each person has a little different idea of what the perfect bat feels like. July 15, 0. Composite bats get better and stronger with use.
The one piece will not give you the whip that you can create with the two piece. You should click to watch this great defensive play by Bernier. Where is he now?
Was this common with the metal bats that you used? Also, believers in the one piece bat feel the trampoline effect of the ball coming off of the barrel is better than with the two piece.
It includes helpful charts and images to make selecting the right metal bat for the players age and size much easier. I used a Demarini Voodoo and I had two problems with it, the barrel was short and the paint chipped.

This guy probably should have been checked out by EMS. Maybe he was falling asleep because his blood sugar was too low. Or maybe he was septic and in shock. Not being there hampers one's ability to evaluate, and maybe EMS was called, but if I was a prudent and reasonable cop, I would want this guy evaluated by medical before I released him to go with an acquaintance of unknown knowledge and understanding of medical things. I say this as a paramedic for 38 years.
It sounds to me as if this man was on a sleeping medication. Those medications are very dangerous - people have woken up to find themselves cooking, driving and more all while they are sound asleep.

Robe Summer Magic at Schönbrunn Palace
Around 150 Robe moving lights were again specified by lighting designer Helmut Krammer to illuminate the 2013 Summer Night Concert, performed for its tenth year by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra in the magical Baroque setting of Schönbrunn Palace, Vienna.
The venue is a UNESCO World Heritage site. This high profile annual cultural event was broadcast live on national TV and radio and around the world via various satellite channels.
The Robe fixtures were used to light three key areas in Schönbrunn Palace's extensive and beautiful gardens, the main stage; the flower beds left and right of this and the fabulous Neptunbrunnen Fountains which are behind the stage.
It was the fourth year that Vienna based Krammer has lit the Concert, which was enjoyed by an estimated 15,000 hardy classical music lovers who braved the inclement weather for the evening.
He has been using Robe products constantly in his work for the last five years and once again chose Robe for the majority of the lighting, following the great results he achieved in 2011 and 2012.
This year the Robe count was 54 x ROBIN 600 LEDWashes, 50 x ROBIN MMX WashBeams, 18 x LEDBeam 100s, 16 x ROBIN MMX Spots and five ColorSpot 1200E ATs, all supplied by rental company Niclen from Dortmund, Germany, who have an extensive stock of Robe.
In lighting the event, Krammer drew on a fusion of practical, ornamental and architectural lighting. The LEDWash 600s were used to colour the large flower beds flanking the stage with a series of shades, hues and bold, dramatic shafts and slices of light.
These were especially useful for the wide camera shots which swept in and out showing the full scale of the impressive event space.
Right at the rear of the flower beds he placed the LEDBeam 100s.
The MMXs were used to add sophisticated texturing to the Neptune Fountains – making the most of the dual graphics wheel system.
The 50 MMX WashBeams were located around the rim of the fountains and used to produce dazzling mid-air effects which looked great both live and on camera.
The classical repertoire for the evening, under the baton of Lorin Maazel featured compositions from operatic genii Giuseppe Verdi and Richard Wagner, both celebrating their bicentennials this year, which needed special treatment.
It was about creating a total environment for the event rather than highlighting the orchestra as the centre of attention, and the role of lighting was absolutely vital in achieving this aesthetic goal.
Krammer really enjoyed using the new Robe MMX WashBeams in particular and the MMX spot and the LEDWash series are also great favourites.
Another reason Robe is ideal for events like the Summer Night Concert is the overall reliability and robust build quality which is essential for outdoor applications, and was a great reassurance to all involved in the technical this year with the atrocious weather.The show's lighting was operated by Krammer using two Hog 4 consoles and fader wings.
