    Is there a way to delete programs and files on one computer without deleting them on...


    When I transferred my MS account to a new computer, files and programs from two other computers were downloaded. I expected that, but some of the files from one of those computers I do not want on my new one. I deleted a program that I don't want on my new computer, but it also disappeared on the computer I want to keep them on, now I'm afraid to delete files. Is there a way to separate programs and files so that some are on one computer and others on a different one?

    :)

    I Think CCleaner Deleted My AsusSetup Log File

    Is your system misbehaving or programs crashing/not starting, then no... don't worry about a log file.

    However, you keep calling it an inii file... do you mean it is an .ini file; if so, run the program the file is for, open the options menu, set the options, save the options... it will probably re-wite the .ini file.

    If, it won't start, then try a repair on the program or re-install the program affected.

    CCleaner deleted it,because it is set to delete log files, temp files, etc. as default.
    It is a program, you must set its options and tell it what to do and not to do.

    Quote from Recuva's documentation page:

    And, same info here: Recuva File Recovery

    How do I delete registry files?

    Does it matter if I deleted programs at:
    Go to Hkey_Current User> Software intead of "Local Machine"?

    Also, where can I check if programs listed there are legitimate? Isn't there a website to check the names of programs or applications?

    How do I delete registry files?

    I have some programs which I deleted from "Add/Remove Programs" and I want to make sure they are deleted... where do I go to delete these files in my registry?

    Also, I know there is a website where you can type in the name of programs running in the registry files to check if they are legitimate... where can I check my programs?

    Thanks for any help!
