REMOVED FROM WINDOWS
My pc did not work well and my partner who was unemployed at the time, who I might add doesn't know anything about the PC decided to remove some windows programs now, I can't open any what docs on word of e-mails went mirosoft office went it was about 2 1/2 months when it happened and do not know how to bring it back it was installed on the pc when we bought it any help would be most gratefull
Looks like they have removed Microsoft Office.
As you say it is preinstalled with Vista, it would have been a trial version of Office in any manner; unless you paid for Office separately.
You will need to contact the computer manufacturer on this subject.
Or save your data, and then do a Vista recovery to factory settings:
Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.
Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.
In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.
See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.
Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...
Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.
Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.
They will tell you how to do this.
Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

'Remove' toolbar icon removed from Windows Explorer
De : Catherine
I see that the deletion icon has been removed from the toolbar of windows Explorer. Number of questions:
1. How can I get it back?
2. why it was deleted? (what are the requirements user gathered?)
3. a series of questions asked (see "Icons of the toolbar") on this same issue, but none of them responded by someone from Microsoft MVP (or similar). Why is this?
De : Andrew McLaren
Here's the right questions, I can't wait to see the answers.
My 2 cents... the toolbar in the Vista Explorer is not configurable. Soon, this was discovered by developers keen to add buttons for their own applications. You can add a 3rd party application "command bar" to explore; but you cannot change the toolbar provided by Windows.
As to why, I have no idea. I think (and this is only a guess) the Shell team tried for an experience user easier and more orthogonal; where there are fewer controls and a tendency to the only way to get something done. If you want to manipulate an object, such as a file, you select and right click on the object itself, then choose your action from the context menu. While there are more controls toolbar in Vista to manipulate the whole environment (Organization, views), rather than the individual objects in this environment. But then they went and he screwed up by adding the Open, Email, etc. to the toolbar when a file is selected. Why open a file, but not to delete? I do not know. Maybe the pressure during the beta user, diluted the original, clean, pragmatic design often determine theoretical purity in the design of Microsoft (not always a good thing, or the other).
Personally, I think that the new Explorer is messy, and needs a great usability of revision. But despite this, he is reasonably usable, today - better than Nautilus in Gnome!
As for MVP you reply... know that MVPs are quite ordinary people, hanging out in their free time. They have absolutely no formal obligation to Microsoft, or anyone else, to answer the questions at all. And in any case they are official voice for Microsoft (I speak as a MVP myself - but not in the Vista product specialty). They have jobs full-time that is clean, and they are not paid for answering questions in the forums. And microsoft.public.windows.vista.general is a busy group, so it is difficult to follow. The more interesting question is: why are there so few employees of Microsoft and, in particular, program managers, taking part in discussions to explain the design decisions?
Anyway, you can use the Community mechanism to make suggestions to Microsoft, as described here:
'Suggestions for Microsoft' are enabled in microsoft.public.windows.vista.general, if you are using the web interface:
http://windowshelp.Microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.mspx
While it would be nice if the internal Microsoft people are more come with information about design decisions, there are at least a few blogs with dirty laundry has revealed. For the shell, there are:
http://windowsvistablog.com/blogs/windowsexperience/default.aspx
and
If you dig deep enough you might find some background info here. There are also a few forums focused on the shell, which may give better answers.
It will be useful,

Videos removed from Windows Media keeps returning
For months I have REMOVE some old videos in my Windows Media Player. They suppress with I also say to remove it from the computer and they disappear for a week or two. Then about 2 weeks or so later, when I go into my Player Windows media - will they once again - the exact same old videos that I deleted previously. I did about 3 - 4 times now and with the same results. HOW can I get this old videos out of my windows media player for GOOD? Thank you.
Hello
a. you delete videos from the Player library or the hard drive itself?
b. you are able to play these videos that appear after deleting?I think that you delete the files from the media player library.
This problem can occur if the media library is corrupt. Rebuild the library and check if this solves the problem.
Follow these steps:
1. exit Windows Media Player.
2. click on start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.
3. Select all the files in the folder and then click on Delete on the file menu.
Note: you don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.
4. restart Windows Media Player.Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.
If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:
1. exit Windows Media Player.
2. click on start, run, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft, and then click OK.
3. Select the Media Player folder, and then click on Delete on the file menu.
4. restart Windows Media Player.You can also check this link for help:

Can the files removed from Windows Explorer after having been imported in the first?
Hey everybody,
Pretty self explanatory question. I know that in something like Windows Movie Maker, you must keep all the videos imported to the same place that you imported in provenance, because they are referenced directly from Explorer. Premiere Pro set to the top in the same way, or it creates a cache somewhere, allowing you to edit the content of the Explorer without disrupting the PP? Thank you!
First is related to where ever you put the files on your computer, it uses the files without copying so that they stay on the pc.

Very frustrating... under windows ' programs/uninstall a program "list, Mozilla Thunderbird is still listed AFTER that I have removed completely (I thought) from my computer. I clicked on 'uninstall' several times and nothing happens. I can't take the fact that Mozilla has set it up so that it can apparently be deleted from this list... What is everything? I tried to research the problem, even by using your Web site without success. All what I want to do is get out of my list to uninstall/change. I used this program AND will not use it. I don't want this program on my computer/list period. I would appreciate your help.
It is a problem with the management of Windows applications. Mozilla does nothing to interfere with the installation/uninstallation process.
You could re - install Thunderbird so re-synchronization of the list of applications, then uninstall again, or you could use a utility to remove from the list.
A search of thunderbird.exe will confirm whether or not it was really deleted, but you may need to disable all the fool-proofing that implement Microsoft for not to see the true state of the file system; Configure to display hidden files and the extensions of file to start.
Thunderbird is almost independent. You are free to delete manually the folder that the application resides in if Windows fails to uninstall it for you, but that will not solve the incorrect appearance of thunderbird in the list of installed applications.

Adobe Flash Player prevents me to display videos because I don't want to share my personal computer storage.
Wholesale! constitutional question here! Can I use the Windows Media player this Adobe pirate intead? How, please? Or any other way to overcome this in-your-face PEST hijacker - Adobe Flash? * E-mail address is removed from the privacy *
Hello
Flash Player and Windows Media Player are not interchangeable.
Like many things on the web, the Flash Player local storage can be put to bad use. This does not necessarily mean the Flash Player without scruples or bad product - it's the sites Web/people who abuse of this (depending on your point of view).
You can configure Flash Player to block local storage on your computer. This does not necessarily all the features of Flash Player - for example with my set of Flash Player to block local storage I can still see videos on YouTube.
The controls for the Flash Player local storage can be found here: *
Start-> Control Panel-> Flash Player (32-bit) (Tab instorage )
There is a good explanation of privacy and local storage of Flash Player here:
I hope this helps.
* You have not stated your version of Windows, so it's Windows 7.

I can't add a component from the Add Remove program window as says could not initialize winxp
I can't add a component from the Add Remove program window as says could not initialize winxp
My victory is xp professional ver 2002 service pack 3
It's usually easy to fix, but if you removed all the dll and inf files, you can have a bunch of other problems that you have not yet discovered.
If you mean when you try to use Add/Remove Windows components you see a message like this:
Install was not able to load the master file.
The application could not be initialized.This happens because this file is missing:
c:\windows\inf\sysoc.inf
There is no copy backup of this file on your system and run the System File Checker will not replace the missing file (sorry, that Microsoft committed Support Engineer 'experts').
You will need to get a real copy of your XP bootable installation CD or from a reliable source.
There's a copy on my SkyDrive, you can download - here's how:
I downloaded a copy of XP Pro SP3 file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).
You can download it and when you do, put a copy of the file in this folder (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):
c:\Windows\Inf
Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:
https://SkyDrive.live.com/?CID=6a7e789cab1d6f39&ID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311
When you see the files available for download, you can not see the file extension (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc.), but when download you them they will have the right extension.
When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, your browser is unable to save the file with an extension (by example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.
You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension. You do not want to use a file named sysoc when the name of the file should really be called sysoc.inf (if the downloaded file has no extension, you will need to change the name of the file to add the appropriate extension to make it work.
You must then copy and paste the downloaded folder appropriate on your system.

How can I remove the Windows, "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer" program from my computer

OK... but be careful... you'll lose thumbnails of photos in Windows Explorer...
your 'My pictures' folder... for example... does not display photos.And... FWIW... WP & F Viewer is not a program... it's just a .dll file. Disabling
the .dll file is basically identical to uninstall. (in this way... If you do not
as the result... you can reactivate).But if "gone forever", that's what you prefer... just delete the shimgvw.dll file.
Attention last... your thumbnails in the Explorer will be gone.
How... Disable WP & F Viewer
Click Start / run and enter the following command:
Type or copy/paste...
regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll
(Yes, the space after the 2 and you is necessary)Press on... Come in...
(You should see a dialog box indicating:)

Click Start / run and enter the following command:
Type or copy/paste...
regsvr32 /i shimgvw.dll
