  1. The following is advice from the Tech at work. Download Ubuntu which is a free operating system by Linux. http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download Burn the ISO image file to a CD. http://filehippo.com/download_imgburn/ Leave CD in drive and reboot. The Ubuntu program offers the option of using the operating system as a demo directly from the CD, without an installation or change to the computer settings. Once booted up into the Ubuntu operating system, go to "Places" in the top menu bar and delete any file or folder at will. Use with care because you can delete without Windows rules and permissions. You wouldn't want to delete something like your Windows XP operating system. If you think this could be some type of malware, virus or rootkit you should visit the Spyware Hell section of the forum. http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showforum=12 Read and do as much as you can before you post. http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=20120 Good Luck!
  2. @marmite/Thanks Works like a charm and will come in handy. @Skywired I thought we should rule out some more easy fixes. 1) Drag and Drop to Desktop and delete. 2) Cut and Paste to Desktop and delete. 3) Sometimes memory can hold on to a file or folder even if rebooted. Shutdown your pc and wait two minutes, then startup and try to delete the folder. 4) Defrag 5) chkdsk 6)How to take ownership of a file or a folder in Windows XP Are you still there Skywired?
  3. This one glows in the dark.
  4. I haven't used command-line much so this is a learning curve for me. I extracted the PendMoves folder to Program Files. Opened a command window (Run as Admin for Vista) cd "\Program Files\" C:\Program Files>cd Pendmoves C:\Program Files\Pendmoves>pendmoves.exe This worked for Pendmoves. Can you give me an example for MoveFile? Do I need navigate to folders or show a path? 1) To move a file. 2) To delete a file. TIA
  5. JRE 6 Update 17 This release contains fixes for one or more security vulnerabilities. http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
  6. Makes sense now that I understand I need to run the command-line app through a command window.
  7. The command-line window just flashes open & closed. Must not be Vista compatible given the release date of "Published: November 1, 2006". Thanks again
  8. How do you use PendMoves v1.1 and MoveFile v1.0. Are they Vista compatible? Thanks for WhyReboot thats a cool little app. that will come in handy.
  9. Deleting the folder at reboot is probably the way to go. I could only recommend killbox as an app that could do this. You have to trust a program to run at boot. Good find on a second app. They may use different methods and one may work.
  10. You could try deleting the folder using the Command Prompt. http://www.cybertechhelp.com/tutorial/arti...les-and-folders Some say to kill explorer during the process using Task Manager (leave open) then go back to Task Manager, click File, New Task and enter EXPLORER.EXE to restart the GUI shell. It seems that killbox does something like that.
  11. Close your browser then try to rename the folders and delete, or are they read only? What info do you get from the folders properties? Visit sonicdrivein.com, close your browser and then try to delete.
  12. Try this one: http://killbox.net/ How to use killbox: http://metallica.geekstogo.com/killboxexplanation.html
  13. If you use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, you could try FileASSASSIN under more tools. http://filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_anti_malware/ You could download and try Unlocker. http://www.filehippo.com/download_unlocker/ Click on Download latest version for either program and save.
  14. Keeping the flash cookie for Machinarium.net would save the online demo data and not the downloaded version data. According to the Machinarium forum, the games are saved in the Macromedia Flash Folder as a .sol. You could clear the box for Adobe Flash Player in CCleaner. Cleaner -> Applications -> Multi Media -> Adobe Flash Player. Alternately, you could exclude the file in CCleaner. First you must show hidden files and folders. OS(C:) Under Tools -> Folder Option -> View -> Show hidden files and folders then click OK. In CCleaner: Options -> Exclude -> Add File and follow the path to the end then click OK. Since I don't have the game, I'm not 100% sure of the path. XP: C:\Documents and Settings\{Username}\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\{Randomword}\Localhost\Program Files\Machinarium\Machinarium.exe\Machinarium.sol Vista and Windows 7: C:\Users\{Username}\Application Data\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\{Randomword}\Localhost\Program Files\Machinarium\Machinarium.exe\Machinarium.sol Restore: Do not show hidden files and folders then click OK. Post back if you need any more help or if you have success.
  15. I always go to the builds page and download (save) the slim version to the desktop. No need to uninstall the old version, just install the new version over the top of the old. Just take your time and read the few choices you have, and before you know it your done. You should look at the changes made to the new version and read the CCleaner documentation. (see link below)
  16. If you want to manually delete the file(s). First you must show hidden files and folders. OS(C:) Under Tools -> Folder Option -> View -> Show hidden files and folders then click OK. C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\{Randomword} C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\macromedia.com\support\flashplayer\sys Look for The file(s) in both locations and delete. Restore: Do not show hidden files and folders then click OK.

    Folder View

    The only time I've seen a Windows explorer view is when I'm including or excluding files and folders.
  18. What operating system and browser(s) are you using?
  19. In CCleaner click on the cookie to delete and look at the bottom of the screen to see the browser and or if it's a flash cookie.
  20. Hi SkyWired, and welcome to the forum. The site uses Flash Player. Do you have the box checked for Adobe Flash Player? Cleaner -> Applications -> Multi Media -> Adobe Flash Player.
  21. Hi felixxx99, and welcome to the forum. You can play the game and then save the cookies. Options -> Cookies -> Cookies to Delete -> Cookies to keep. Alternately, you can clear the box for Adobe Flash Player. Cleaner -> Applications -> Multi Media -> Adobe Flash Player. I hope the links you've posted aren't spam for the game. I only say this because this is your first post here and the game is for sale.

    Hi hhara, and welcome to the forum. In the Cleaner section you can do the following. Right click on a blank space of results and view detailed results for all files. Alternately, you can double click or right click a single line to view that lines detailed results only. In Tools -> Uninstall the publisher, install date and file size are shown in Vista and Windows 7.
  23. Hi Crapaholic, and welcome to the forum. With each release, there are bug fixes, new features and updates for programs. Have a look here for a full version history. This is a good reason to update to the latest version.
  24. If you right click on a blank space of the results field, it will also save all entries.
  25. Hi mathfriend, and welcome to the forum. Right click results and save to text file.
