If the System32 folder shows on the desktop, there may be an invalid entry in the Registry. 1. Start Regedit 2. Go to both: 3. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run 4. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run 5. Double check that the values do not have incorrect, incomplete, or blank entries.


How do you stop 7zip from using an intermediate temp directory when decompressing files?

7-Zip doesn't know folder path of drop target. Only Windows Explorer knows exact drop target. And Windows Explorer needs files (drag source) as decompressed files on disk. So 7-Zip extracts files from archive to temp folder and then 7-Zip notifies Windows Explorer about paths of these temp files. Then Windows Explorer copies these files to drop target folder. To avoid temp file usage, you can use Extract command of 7-Zip or drag-and-drop from 7-Zip to 7-Zip.


How do you delete all the files in the print spool?

Click "start" and go to "Run" Type "services.msc" at the prompt which will open the Services window Scroll down the alphabetical list in the right window pane until you come to the entry with the name "Print Spooler" Right-click this entry, then select "stop". This will stop the computerrunning the process that holds your print queues. Leaving that window open for now, click again on "Start", and then click"My Computer" to open a Windows Explorer window. We've stopped the queue service, now we just have to clear the jam that isalready there. To do this we navigate to the print spool folder which is hiding within the Windows folders. Usually Windows is installed on C: drive, but youshould be easily able to tell when the Explorer window opens which drive it is on. The usual path to the spool folder isC:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS, but yours may be slightly different. Your windows drive may have another name for instance, but this wouldbe uncommon. So click on your Windows drive (usually C), then double-click on the Windows folder, and then find the System32 folder and double-click onthat. Windows may warn you that you are about to view system files, but click "View files anyway" message and search out the "spool folder". Within theSpool folder is your Printers folder, and you should open that. Delete every file within this folder to empty the jammed print queue(pressing the "ctrl" and "a" keys will select all files and then you can just hit "delete").Close the explorer window now that we have emptied the cleared spool files, and return to your Services window. we must re-start the Print spoolservice, and do so by right-clicking the Print Spoolentry and selecting "Start" from the list.


Can you delete a minecraft server?

Yes. To delete a Minecraft server, stop the server (issue the "stop" command to the server), and then delete the server files (server.properties, the world folder, etc.) If you put the server into its own folder, then simply delete that entire folder to be rid of your server.
