   (the application will now start cleaning up the old files)

The size of the WinSXS folder (and potentially others?) should now have been reduced. On my computer, I found that the WinSXS folder was only reduced by 1 GB, but others have seen 3-4 GB reductions.

You may, if you wish, chose to change the default location of search index. It is, by default, stored at C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search\Data folder, which is a hidden folder.

To do so, Open Control Panel in its ‘all items view’, and click on Indexing Options.

1. Next click on Advanced.
2. In the Index location box, click Select new.
3. Choose the folder where you want to store the search index file in. Click on OK.
4. Restart Windows Search Service and indexing will take place and be saved at this new location.

Just run this microsoft application…and the select the application to remove.

A few days ago I upgrading a Windows Vista computer to Windows 7 Home premium. The upgrade gave me no issues, anything I ran into i knew of by run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor http://apps.thenetworkadministrator.net/Windows7UpgradeAdvisorSetup.exe

However, after the upgrade my Dell AIO 926 printer would not work. I tried applying the new Windows 7 drivers from support.dell.com, tried using Windows Vista drivers, even tried running the printer  installer using Vista SP2  compatibility mode. Below are the steps i used to solve the problem, hope I can save someone else some time.

1. Disconnect the printer usb cable

 2. From control panel, programs, uninstall programs, locate the Dell AIO printer software and uninstall it, if promted to reboot please do so.

3. Run this utility to uninstall the old printer drivers, http://apps.thenetworkadministrator.net/R166248.zip

3. Visit http://support.dell.com and download the windows 7 drivers, during the software install the setup will prompt you when to connect the printer usb cable.

Download and burn the NT offline password reset  iso from http://apps.thenetworkadministrator.net/Windows_Password_Reset.zip

Available from http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials
the program is designed to stop common threats such as viruses, spyware, rootkits and Trojans. It runs on Windows XP, Vista and 7, in both 32-bit and 64-bit editions.

Sometimes its faster and easier to just use the windows system restore and go back to sometime before the malware was installed.
