  1. A website has taken over my Start/Home page. I Cannot delete it or get rid of it


    A website I used once, 10 days ago, to watch a movie has suddenly appeared on my Home Page /Start Page and blocks all my Links to Favourites like Speed Dials I cannot get rid of it. I have tried deleting it, blocking it, etc.. but it keeps appearing every time I put the Laptop to Sleep, Hibernate or turn off. I am reduced to using Google Chrome. Please Help.

    Deleting Hiberfil & Pagefile

    You would have to move your Page File to a different drive to get rid of that file, however you can make is smaller by adjusting the size in Windows.

    To get rid of Hyberfile.sys you need to disable hibernation by doing the following:

    • Click Start, and then type cmd in the Start Search box.
    • In the search results list, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as Administrator.
    • When you are prompted by User Account Control, click Continue.
    • At the command prompt, type powercfg.exe /hibernate off, and then press ENTER.
    • Type exit and then press ENTER to close the Command Prompt window
    Then you can delete the hyberfile.sys file.

  4. A website has taken over my Start/Home page. I Cannot delete it or get rid of it

    SUGGESTION: redirect "deleted items" on website to landing page

    The home screen of the MyPhone website mentions that there are several deleted items (video and photo in my case). But when you select it, you end up in the deleted contacts regardless of its contents, which might be an empty list. This is confusing because
    you would assume that you are taken to the place where your deleted items are. Now you have to click on each of them to find out if there is something new. I think it would be better to land in a general deletion page, summarizing the number of newly deleted
    items for each category.
