    How to get back warning dialogue when deleting a file in use?


    Hello, hope anyone can help. When I delete a file that is in use, it doesn't show this message anymore: "The action can't be completed because the folder or a file in it is open in another program"I remember accidentally clicking a checkbox saying something like "Remember my choice" or "Don't ask again". Now the error message doesn't show up anymore. Does anyone know how to bring it back?Thank you.

    :)

  2. No color management in print dialogue box

    Why is the critical step of removing all old printer drivers (Step 5) in the Printui dialogue the same as Step 6 right clicking the printer in Devices and Printers to delete it and restart PC?

    After you install the printer software in Print 8 you did a lot of other things with a Desktop app that are not in the list and unneeded. Why were these necessary instead of just selecting a .pdf document to print and trying it?

    The reason I ask is that I've suggested these steps countless times and they have always worked if only they are followed, not adding a bunch of steps at the end.

    I hope this helps.

    deleting hard drive files

    Hi,

    May we know what type of file are you trying to delete? Would it be Office documents, media files, or picture files? If you're trying to delete files for free some space on your device. We suggest to perform a Disc Cleanup. Kindly follow the steps below to
    perform the task:

    • Type in Cortana Disc Cleanup
    • Choose the files to delete
    • Click on "Clean up system files"
    • Click on Ok

    For any concerns, don't hesitate to get back to us.

    Regards.

    File delete dialogue reports files to be deleted as having 0 bytes?


    I know, but I'm talking about the file size reported, as illustrated by this:

    FAT16 and NTFS drives don't appear to be affected by the glitch.
