Re: Removing internet link raw image files

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Well I don't know what I'm doing wrong. When I click the link you gave, I
get an error message that my request cannot be processed. I assume the
hotfix number is 1410? I'll try calling, if I can find a number on their
support site. Again, thanks.

The hotfix number is in the link I sent you, as for getting it, if you
call them and only ask for the hotfix, they don't charge you. And they
should then e-mail you a download link.

Bob,

thanks for you patience. I tried the link you gave, but I got "your request
could not be processed". I searched MS site for the xp hot fix, but could
not find anything. Quite painful as I'm only on dialup. I tried to email
for support, but because windows came installed on the PC, there is a $60
charge. Guess I give it up, eh?

You could e-mail them "Microsoft" for the hot fix mentioned if you want.

Thanks again. I have SP2 on both my PC's, but a search does not find
cipher.exe. Can I download and use the file on the MS site for windows 2000?
Could not find one for XP.

If you have installed SP2, you should have it.

As to the use simplly look it up in the "Command line reference A-Z" in
"Windows help and support" or issue

CIPHER /?

at the command prompt.

Bob,

That's the exact answer I am looking for. Doing some research, it appears I
want to run 'cipher /w:c:' ? Or is there any command qualifier I need to add?

Also, it is supposed to be part of XP, but a search did not find the file on
my pc. Can you provide the MS link I can download it from?

Thanks.

Ron

When something is "deleted" the space that the file occupies is "marked"
as "free space", to be used as necessary for other file storage. NOW
what is your question? Is it a case of you being worried about someone
"undeleting" the pictures and seeing what you were viewing? Only way to
do that is to "overwrite" the "free space" the files occupied. If that
is not your worry, but you were merely concerned about recovering "free
space" you have no worry.

Thanks. What I'm now told by an "IT" friend, is the files are ones that were
deleted, but remain on the HD, they are just removed from the file allocation
table. IF true, is there a way to remove them?

Does
anyone know how to access and remove these files from the HD? Thanks in

I've never heard of this or ever found files like that on my Windows
machines or on clients' boxen. From your description, I would expect those
files to be in the Temporary Internet Files folder. You need to enable
viewing all hidden files to see them.

I think your information is dubious, but you can clean temporary files with
the free CCleaner. I don't suggest using the registry management tools in
the program, however.
