  1. Windows.old not auto deleting


    Hi, after an upgrade how long should it be til windows.old deletes itself? I think MS keeps changing it around perhaps. My understanding was after 10 days. Version 2004 installed 10 days ago (10 days and 10 hours ago to be exact). Ive turned the machine on this evening given it about half hour of idle time to do its thing but still no deletion. I know sometimes it doesnt fully delete and can leave some residual small files behind but should be getting the 10-20 gigs back lost by the install. Yet that hasnt happened . I know it can be forced via disk clean up but would prefer it to do it automatically. So I was curious. Maybe it needs a lot of idle time to do it?

    :)

  3. Auto Suggest - Old email addresses

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand your concern. There is, however, no setting in Mail app to disable the auto-complete setting, you can certainly accomplish this in Outlook web app on your system. Refer to the following steps to do so:

    • Sign in to Outlook Web App, and in the To, Cc, or
      Bcc lines, start typing part of the name you want to remove from the Auto-Complete List. For information about how to sign in to Outlook Web App, see

      Sign in to Outlook Web App
      .

    • If the entry you want to remove is highlighted, choose Delete. If the entry you want to delete is not selected, use the Up Arrow and Down Arrow to navigate to the entry you want to delete, and then choose
      Delete.

    For more information, please refer to the following article:

    Remove suggested name or email address
    from the Auto-Complete List in Outlook Web App


    Hope this information is helpful. Do let us know if you need any further assistance, we will be glad to assist you.

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
