  1. After you type in the command and enter it, it scans your computer for the files ending with that extension. It deletes it for good (no recycle bin) so that's why it could pontentialy do something it shouldn't have done. If you want extra security when running the command, you could add the /p switch. It confirms with you before any file is deleted. This can be rather time consuming, but at least it's safer. Heres a quick run down of what the switches do:

     

    del /s /f c:\*.tmp

     

    the c:\ switch tells it where to look and the /p switch tells it to look in subdirectories.

     

    the /f switch tries to force deletion of read only files.

     

    And /s confirms with you before you delete anything.

     

    If you want to try it out then go ahead.

    Here's what it would look like with the /p switch.

     

    del /s /f /p c:\*.(file extension)

    Assuming C is the drive you want to clean.

    Thuaght you might want to see what it looks like.

  2. 1) XP

    2) Ethernet always worked

    3) Yes it's still isted in BIOS

    4a) Yes

    4b) Intel

    5) Rolling back doesn't fix the problem

     

    When I was looking through device manager I saw the wireless network card, and the ethernet card but there was also a third. 1394 net adapter. I noticed it has a Microsoft driver. The other 2 have Intel ones.

     

    Thanks

  3. My laptop is not working. When I plug in the internet cable, the network cable disconnected icon stays in the taskbar. This is the reason I posted it in the hardware section. I figured something must've gotten messed up inside.

     

    Laptop is a Vaio PCG-8R7L.

     

    Any help would be appreciated

     

    [edit]

     

    Forgot to mention that wireless works.

  4. Of course it could, but so could a lot of other things. I did warn him about being extra careful. I use this all the time and nothing goes wrong. You just have to double check what extension you're putting in.

     

    Anyway, who would enter .exe? :huh:

     

    @ englishman, if you feel like something could go wrong then just use G-lock

  5. No, you don't really need G-Lock.

     

    Press start, then run, and type in cmd

    Press enter and a black box should appear.

     

    Type

    del /s /f c:\*.(enter file extension here)

     

    Obviously enter a file extension at the end such as tmp, pf, old, ect.

     

    example

     

    del /s /f c:\*.tmp

     

    After you press enter it will delete them.

  6. Unfortunately the very useful formerly-freeware utility EndItAll2 which I have praised and recommended for years is no longer available free of charge to end users. While there are a number of copies still floating around the web for those who look hard enough due to the intervention of the Ziff-Davis, Inc legal team and their false accusations to my ISP that I personally have been providing their copywrited program, links to the program can no longer be found on this web site. Those prepared to pay for a subscription can find it available at winmag.com

  7. This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. A desktop plant for god sakes! Only $10 USD for each plant.

     

    What a joke...

     

    Did I mention you can also buy various colors for another $10 each.
