Re: Need Help

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Some basic questions I have to ask you.

Are you logged in as default Administrator/Owner?
Did you reinstall Windows or did some restore through any third party tool
after installation of Windows?

There is a possibility of an ownership conflict on folders. You will have to
take ownership of the entire recycler folder while replacing permissions on
child objects.

For this look for and disable "use simple file sharing" in the same box you
asked the OS to show hidden files and folders.

Right click on the recycler folder and look for a security tab in the window
that opens
click on advanced which will bring you to a new window, in the permissions
tab ensure that adminisrtators have full control by chosing Adminsitrators
and clicking on edit, you should have a green check in check box of "Full
COntrol"

Try doing it now. If it still fails please try the next step at your own risk:
In the same step as above click on owner tab and get the ownership of the
folder by typing your user name as it appears in control panel-> users. Check
the box which says replace permissions.....Ok out of all the boxes.

Boot your computer in "Safe Mode" as done in the beginning of this thread
and try deleting the Recycler folder. The error should go away.



If you have the time to do chkdsk for all drives, i would recommend a yes
for all drives.

For defragmentation i would recommend using the defrag of NSW as it has
better logic (IMHO) than the default defrag of XP which is essentially a
stripped down version of Diskeeper from Executive Software.

If you still want to use the default diskeeper go into command prompt and
type following:

"defrag c: /f"

you could substitute C: for all the drives you have.

You could also look for any scheduled taks in scheduled tasks utility to see
if you have created any defrag related tasks which could be causing these.

OK, we chkdsk c: /r and after long waiting hours everything is OK.
BTW, should we also do the same for all drives, D:/, E:/, F:/ ???

Then, we tried to delete Recycle Bin folder, but we could not do that,
Norton had all protection on the Recycle Bin folder, we unchecked all the
protections but still we could not delete it, we keep getting the dialog,
"Error deleting file or folder" "Cannot delete RECYCLER: Access is denied.
Make sure the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not
currently in use" Any ideas?
We emailed Norton if they have any ideas.

For defragmentation we use the Start/Program/Accessories/System Tools/Disk
Defragmenter, and sometimes we use the Norton/Optimize Performance.

Again, We like you to thank you for all your help and also for your reply in
advance.

first problem:
possibly happening because of some corruption in recycle bin or folder
structure.

Your second problem of blue screen coming up and checking your drive could
be an indicator of that. WHat are you doing at that moment are you
skipping
it? or letting it run. I recommend letting it run once.

I would also recommend doing a chkdsk c: /r from command prompt to see if
there is any physical problem with the drive.When asked if you want to do
it
when system restarts say a yes to it by pressing Y.

If in the above you clearly get an error in drive structure then that is
the
cause of the issue. You possibly have a very complex issue which is better
handled by an expert.

If the above test comes out clean then follow these steps:
set all the files to show including system and hidden files(uncheck the
box
that says Hide protected operating system files). Look for a recycler
folder
in the root of all drives and delete the folder.
Caution: you will lose ALL recycle bin files for ALL users.

try deleting the files again. The recycle bin would essentially be
recreated
in this instance.

For your third problem please tell us which defragmentation utility are
using to help you better?

Thanks for the reply and we are going to forget about that file, we
installed the new Norton System Works 2006 Premier (Norton 2005 had
expired), could be that's doing it.

If you could help us with some other unusual problems...

We are having two (2) problems.
first problem:
When we delete a file it goes into the Recycle Bin, and when we empty the
Recycle Bin by right clicking we get a dialog:
"Error deleting file or folder" "Cannot delete desktop. The file or
directory is corrupted and unreadable"
and it gets emptied. (this never happened before)

Second problem:
When we reboot the computer, before the desktop opens the Scan Disk runs
(Light Blue Screen) and checks my drives, that never happened before, and
when we are trying to Defrag E:/ Drive, dialog says it is schedule to
scan......
Can you help us?
Thanks again,
Ohan

Thanks for the reply.....

Yes, last night we did most of your subjections, and again we tried
to delete it in safe mode but we do not see the file
"Perflib_Perfdata_850.dat", and as you see today the numbers are
different and we can not delete it for some reason.
This matter is driving us crazy.
Any other ideas?????

The file is not dangerous.
Unless you just need that little bit of space for some reason (buy a
bigger drive) - I'd just leave it be.

'perflib_perfdataXXX.dat' files seem to be orphaned files. They are
created by some program on your computer which is why you cannot delete
them since it is in use by some program. They are usually removed by
'whatever' program upon shutdown. However, they reappear as soon as you
reboot if the program that made them starts at boot. If you knew what
application was doing it, it would be simple just to not start the
application until you need it.

In short - they are okay. Ignore them.
