Moderators mta Posted March 4, 2013 Moderators Share Posted March 4, 2013 I've seen those gobbly-gook named folder before, usually leftover from an installation. if I see them I blow them away, most a 'locked' and you have to go into the Security Tab and give Ownership/Auditing/Permission to the Everyone user. I'm sure there is an easier way, but the one works for me. Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
login123 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Thanks, mta. I'll let that post ride a while, then go after the folder. I have seen similar files also, but never locked up like this one is.

login123 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 With the win xp computer in safe mode, or the win 8 computer? Haven't tried either one yet. Was about use unlocker, but will wait a bit.

Moderators hazelnut Posted March 4, 2013 Author Moderators Share Posted March 4, 2013 Try safe mode in either. Will be surprised if Unlocker works in a situation like this, hope I'm wrong Support contact https://support.ccleaner.com/s/contact-form?language=en_US&form=general or support@ccleaner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
login123 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Sounds like you already know something about this situation. Care to share? < < persuasive, winning, smile. Will try unlocker first. If its a nogo, then safe mode. If thats a nogo, Puppy linux on the win xp computer. (only one that will still boot the Puppy. ) Whatever happens, when the folder is gone, I'll hook up the USB hdd to win 8 again and see what happens. Edit: must say I sort of like win 8. If microsoft publishes a method for reverting it to a normal desktop type OS, that would be great. Edit 2: Unlocker ver. 1.8.9 deleted them to the recycle bin. CCleaner removed the remains from there. This was on the win xp computer. The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ...

login123 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 You were right, Hazel. Unlocker appears to have moved it to the recycle bin for the USB hdd, where it is stuck. Still after it. Back to safe mode. Edit: Got'em! MMUUuuAAaahaahaahaa. OK, am being a bit silly, been a while since I got after a stubborn folder. There were 2 folders: dj19 and dj20 in the recycler. Removed their attributes, then used unlocker to move the stuck folders to My Documents, where they deleted normally. But seriously, can I expect the win 8 computer to do something like this to any USB hdd that connects to it? Didn't find much on Google. Still looking.

Moderators hazelnut Posted March 5, 2013 Author Moderators Share Posted March 5, 2013 Had no problems myself with usb hard drives on Win 8. I use one to keep an image on after using the built-in Win 8 imager. Any usb hard drive I attach new to a pc always gets a quick format first as I don't like some of the folders and things that sometimes come pre-installed on them.

login123 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Two questions, if I may. I have googled until I'm goggled, can't find anything definitive. Is anybody running Sandboxie in win 8 with ie 10? I got a warning about conflicts when I tried to install it. Been to the SBIE forums. What sort of firewall works well w/ win 8 ie 10. Got the same warning about Outpost. Been to the Outpost forums also. I like win 8 too. The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud.

Moderators hazelnut Posted April 7, 2013 Author Moderators Share Posted April 7, 2013 I am running Sbie on Win 8 with IE10.. no problems. What warning do you get, a Windows warning or a Sbie warning? Are you using Sbie 3.76 or beta version 4.0.01.04? I'm using it with Windows Firewall alongside Emsisoft Anti Malware (It's a full AV in spite of the name) Support contact https://support.ccleaner.com/s/contact-form?language=en_US&form=general or support@ccleaner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
login123 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 It was a windows warning for 3.76, didn't have time record it. Ver 4 is working, along with Avast! AV and windows firewall. Going to try Outpost firewall again, would sort of like a firewall that controls both ways. Just getting started with win 8, it's not so bad, just need time to learn it. Thank you, Hazel. edit: The warning for SBIE looked like this one for Outpost firewall. Outpost may not work.

Moderators hazelnut Posted April 8, 2013 Author Moderators Share Posted April 8, 2013 When using Sandboxie version 3.74 or later, you can safely disregard this warning message from Windows 8. http://www.sandboxie.com/index.php?Windows8 Support contact https://support.ccleaner.com/s/contact-form?language=en_US&form=general or support@ccleaner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
login123 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I had avoided ver SBIE 4 because it is in beta, but now it works OK here. I installed SBIE ver 3.76 twice. Second time, did not get the windows warning. Instead got this popup saying disregard the windows warning. . . However, ver 3.76 did not work. It installed and the system tray and desktop icons appeared. Clicking on them made something ?? happen, but didn't hook up to the net. Restarted 2 or 3 times. Made sure the network connections were active Several SBIE functions were running, but no hookup to the net.

Moderators hazelnut Posted April 8, 2013 Author Moderators Share Posted April 8, 2013 The beta versions of Sbie are usually quite safe and I install them as soon as they come out. Glad to hear you are getting to grips with Win 8. Nothing like a new OS to get the old grey cells screaming Support contact https://support.ccleaner.com/s/contact-form?language=en_US&form=general or support@ccleaner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted April 8, 2013 Moderators Share Posted April 8, 2013 I have no probs with SB 3.76. I seem to remember the warning message and I looked it up at the time. I'm with IE10 and Win firewall. Yes, one gets used to W8 in time. I would miss the fast startup/shutdown if I reverted, which I won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
