  1. NTUSER.DAT "Open in System"


    About 2 years ago, I downloaded an app apparently NTUSER.DAT on my computer to make videos. I recently rediscovered it and now can't delete it because it says "This action can't be completed because the file is open in System." I don't need it, the only reason I had it was to make videos because I wanted to make cool videos. How do I stop it from being open in system and how do I delete it so I can free up nearly 2 Gigabytes? Thank you!

    :)

  2. Microsoft Solitaire Collection not working even after resetting Windows.

    Hi,

    As well as the 3 ntuser files listed, there are 5 ntuser.dat(*****).regtrans-ms files and 2 ntuser,dat(*****).blf files.

    Do I copy those as well or unselect them like the 3 you listed?

    need some help opening a .dat file.....

    i think he meant her as in her's , and Pampered Chef is a salesman program

    does Pampered Chef have it's own software, what do the dat files normally open in?

    .dat files are rarely directly opened, they are more often opened by the software that uses it.

    NTUSER.DAT "Open in System"

    Associate .dat files to NotePad

    Hi Rick

    Right click a dat file, choose 'Open With' - Choose Another App

    Important - Check the box marked 'Always use this app to open dat . . .'

    If Notepad is not in the list, scroll to the bottom and click 'More Apps'

    Again if Notepad is not in the list, at the bottom, click 'Look for another app on this PC', then navigate to find the Notepad application in C:\Windows\System32
