Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning.

10. Posts should have descriptive subjects. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit.

13. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Default cant dele file mpeg lime wire help deleteing files no delete menu left click

help for downloaded a Windows Media file that must have some protection on it. When I right click I don't get the option to rename or delete the file. I can't move the file to Recycle Bin or anything.

Ok this program http://www.purgeie.com/delinv/dldelinv.htm can remove the issue, many questions I know will try to help, and this program is shareware trial it read DOS just like the old days, if you go to the run command form the start menu. Click on run and type command the box will come up. From there you can go to the directory which has the file you cannot delete, put you have to use dos commands like..... (change directory= cd) cd c:\the name...\....\.. If you have trouble use the above link to you the program that will open the directory without typing it all in you can use the mouse and click through it.

you can type in on the web and look for dos help,

the bottom line is that window can not delete the file because of a funny charactor like= *#thth.exe or t(funny charactor)ime.mpg once in dos you will see the charactor

hope this helps also to get out of the command run box type in exit and hit the enter key .....

'You did it again" Lord of the Rings. I got a virus from *** download and was having a hell of a time trying to remove it. It just froze everying up when i tried to remove it. I used your PurgeIE - Purge Cache, Cookies and Tracks for Internet Explorer fix and that did. This is a very interesting site for good info. Again, thanks.

I have tried other programs today to get it deleted, but nothing works. I tried to go to safe mode, but it would not delete that way either. Several other files did, others I found by searching on certain words, so I found other stuff also. But I am stumped.

It wouldn't be so bad if I could at least change the file name, but that won't work. Help!

And, straight from the horse's as..........

Windows Vista Help: Start your computer in safe mode

I am sure that you will find the OFFICIAL guidelines far more helpful than anything you could get here.
As in, Push F8 at Startup !

btw, Where is the pain ? I am not familiar with **** - But then, with Vista, it's a whole body and mind bad experience, eh ?
What a con... Love the new promised file system ! (The one they never delivered.) Only thing to do with Vista is practice removing it so you can help your friends !

Default File Would Not Delete

update:


Got It! It was in "My Music" folder. I went for it and deleted this folder. I know it sounds crazy! It would delete the folder as a whole but not the particular file by itself. Then I done a system startup scan with the blue screen set it tp autofix errors. It reinstated the Folder. It was just empty now. So I replaced the good music files with a back up.
