  1. Is "\Windows.old\" definitely stored at "C:\"?


    Just a quick question about the "Windows.old" folder, that is generated after a Windows installation that is not a Clean-Install; i.e., the notice seen in the fist image attached below. I understand from this article that this folder is usually given the directory of "C:\Windows.old\"--please see the second attached image below. In the highlighted section of that second image, the wording used is "Generally [...]", implying that sometimes the "Windows.old" folder may not be stored at that directory.

  2. old email addresses

    Thank you for updating me HA.111

    Here is the step to remove that old email address.

    Start typing an email address into the “To” field. As soon as you see the old email address being recommended as one of the potential candidates, use the down arrow key to scroll through the list of suggestions. Once you highlight the old email address, type the delete key. In many cases, this will actually remove the entry not only from the current list of suggestions but from future suggestions as well. You may even find that as you mouse over the drop-down list the highlighted item will have an “x” to explicitly allow you to delete it.

    Just do this step and your good to go.

    Continue to have an escellent day HA.111
