  1. I can not delete extra system files I extracted from a windows 10 iso?


    I extracted files from a windows 10 iso to get a new copy of winre.wim. I had done a system clone to a new hard drive and it didn't reproduce my recovery partition. I got the file but now I have a directory full of extra system files that I simply can not delete. I have tried changing the directory and file owner several times. I have tried a number of command line solutions all in a cmd window as administrator. I have logged in as Admin. Everything I try results in an "Access is denied." error.How can I get rid of these files??? I'd prefer a solution that doesn't use some non-windows

    :)

    Extracting Zip Files


    Are the step-by-step processes identical? That is, the folder extracted from and the folder extracted to belong to the same hierarchical file system structure. If they are, that suggests mildly the Cumulative Update left an electron or two out of place.

  3. Extracting Zip Files


    Thanks pyramid10 for your contribution, I ensured that the steps taken and the source and destination folders were the same, in the using zip7 as suggested by BunnyJ resolved all issues for me.
    I am the first to admit that I am a long long way from understanding the intricacies of computers and if truth be told I am now to old anyway to absorb much information.
    Cheers.

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
