How To Reset Windows 7 To Original Factory Settings [Complete Guide]

Posted on 23:23 by Unknown


We all know that the next version of Microsoft Windows OS – Windows 8 will have an immensely handy option to reset Windows to original state, also referred to as, restore system to original factory settings. Many Windows 7 users feel that it’d be better if there is any tool or system recovery utility which can effortlessly revert the system running Windows 7 back to its original state (provided you have not made a recovery disk). As far as Windows 7 is concerned, there are lot of methods available online, claiming to bring back the original settings of Windows 7 with default set of pre-installed programs, application compilers, and software packages, but sadly, all the contrived methods seem tiring and require a lot of effort, leaving user with no other option than to manually reset Windows to original settings.

In this post, we will look at to what extent a Windows 7 user can bring the original settings back to achieve super fast processing speed and best system performance. The process of resetting Windows 7 back to factory settings will ensure that Windows doesn’t contain any invalid Windows registry entries, superfluous Windows shell components and right-click context menu options, files and folders which were created by Windows for processing different kind of operations, bloated Temp folders, empty folders filled with junk files, application cache files, and other libraries which got registered in Windows System32 folder.

To start off with resetting Windows 7, first, make sure that you’ve backed up all the important data and portable applications with saved user preferences to external storage drive or to any other system.

Remove Third-party Applications and Programs

Obviously, the first step is to head over to Windows Control Panel for removing all the applications which you’ve installed since first run of Windows 7. To quickly open add/remove programs window, type Add or remove programs in Windows Start search and hit enter. Once the applications get listed, start removing all the applications, desktop utilities and software suite packages except those which come pre-installed with Windows 7. The fastest way to quickly remove all programs is to select them by Publisher name.
For example, the best way to quickly list down the all the items from Microsoft is to select Microsoft Corporation from Publisher column drop-down menu to view all the applications, utilities, compilers, library packs, codecs, etc from Microsoft. It doesn’t necessarily mean that all the applications from Microsoft come pre-installed in Windows 7, so remove only those applications which you’ve installed from Microsoft, like, MS Office, Silverlight, SQL Server, etc., along with all other third-party utilities.

Remove Application Cache, MRU List, And Clean & Fix Invalid Windows Registry Entries

After you’ve uninstalled all the applications and utilities from Add/Remove list. It is advisable to reboot the system in order to completely remove applications cache files, registry entries, folders, and other temp files. To make sure that all the unnecessary application files / folders, cache are removed without leaving an invalid / unassociated registry key, you need to run a system cleaner. Piriform’s CCleaner is a widely known utility to unclutter the system in numerous situations and has various options to clean the junk off the system. It can clean MRU (Most Recently Used) lists, saved information in installed / previously installed applications, clear application cache, antivirus generated files, saved passwords and history, and so on. After analyzing the data which is to be removed, click Run Cleaner to perform the cleaning operation.
Piriform CCleaner
CCleaner, despite being efficient in cleaning various kinds of application data and info, also claims to be useful in analyzing the Windows Registry integrity and then cleaning invalid paths, application keys, Type libraries, MUI cache, un-bridged library keys, etc. To begin, Click Registry from left sidebar and select all the underlying options to thoroughly check Windows Registry integrity. Once it is finished with scanning registry issues, select all the items in main window, and click Fix selected issues to fix invalid registry entries.

Piriform CCleaner Registry 2



Glary Utilities is another popular all-in-one app to fix a slew of system issues. After cleaning the applications junk and scanning and fixing registry issues, use the free Glary Utilities to clean file traces, fix broken shortcuts, and find those incorrect and invalid Windows registry entries which slipped through CCleaner cracks.

After the scanning process is completed, click Repair Problems to fix all the issues it found during the scan process. You can also click Show Details prior to fixing the broken links and registry entries to review all the problems it discovered. The Modules tab refers to other complementary tools which ensures optimum system performance, including, memory optimizer, context menu manager, system file checker, and registry defragmenter.

Clean Unused Windows Shell Components And Right-Click Context Menu Options

context menu 2
Even though CCleaner removes all the registry keys which are associated with unused or missing applications, there might be a case that after cleaning the system with CCleaner and uninstalling applications manually, you have a  bloated Windows right-click context menu.
Cleaning useless right-click context menu options and other Windows shell components takes a lot of effort and time. I am aware of all the utilities out there to remove unused right-click context menu options and have tested all of them with varying results. Therefore, I can’t vouch for one utility on which you can rely on. To remove context menu options, try methods and applications in following articles.




  • Manual Guide to Remove Useless Items from Windows right-click context menu from Windows Registry.
  • Context Menu Editor: Edit items from Windows 7 right-click menu.
  • ShellMenuNew: Remove items from ‘New’ Menu of Windows 7 right-click menu.
If there are some extra useless options present in Send to menu, you can follow this guide to quickly remove them and keep those which come by default.

Clean Unused Windows Startup Items

There are countless system cleaning utilities available to manage Windows startup items. If you don’t rely on third-party cleaning applications, you can always use Windows native System Configuration utility to view all startup items and disable them promptly. However, the main purpose of using startup manager is to identify those applications which surreptitiously add process(es) into Windows Startup items list. To begin, type msconfig in Start Search, and hit enter to open Windows 7 System Configuration utility. Now move to Startup tab to select and hover mouse pointer over an item which you want to delete from Windows Startup items list.
The best method would be to launch the application and manually disable the Startup item entry, however, the quick way is to un-check the item from System Configuration window followed by opening the path of application in question in Windows Explorer to uninstall or remove the application manually.

Remove Empty Folders, Stop Sharing Folders & Drives, And Delete Log Files

Even though using the Windows Add/Remove utility to uninstall the application is the recommended way for removing application files, linked libraries, and registry entries, there are times when applications folders don’t get removed automatically even after following the proper application removal steps. Therefore, to clean all the empty folders and other associated log files, you need to use a dedicated application for this purpose, such as, previously featured RED.
Launch the application and scan all the drives to find and delete all the empty folders. It offers some intuitive set of options to detect the empty folders according to user-defined rules, so you can create a rule to include those folders, which are, apparently not empty, but contain nothing but useless junk, such as, desktop.ini and image thumbnail cache files.
Remove-Empty-Directories-Admin-mode
shared 2Deleting folders which are being shared over the network is rather difficult, as you need to have administrative privileges to proceed with deletion and, even, if you’re logged in as system admin, you will get to pass through the shared file deletion prompt that states ‘This folder is shared with other people. If you delete this folder, it will no longer be shared.’

To make shared folders deletion easier, right-click Computer and click Manage to open Computer Management utility. From left sidebar, expand Shared Folder to view all the shares. Now select all folders and drives (while holding Ctrl on keyboard) which you want to stop sharing, right-click on any shared item and click Stop Sharing to immediately quit sharing all the selected items. Once all the selected items disappear from the list, you can easily remove all the shared folders.

Out of all the cleaning utilities that we’ve tried so far to remove log files, we found Del log command to be the most efficient. When run in Windows Command Line environment with all the parameters – a, s, q, and f, it ensures that all the log files will get removed. The screenshot below exhibits removing all the log files from Windows directory, nevertheless, you can run this command in root path of any application folder which contains a complex hierarchy of sub-folders with lots of log files.
Command-Line1

Activate Administrator Account And Delete All User Profiles

Windows 7 User Profile folders, usually, take more than a 3-4 GB of your system, and even in some cases, they use more than 10 GB of your hard drive, Just like Windows Vista, Windows 7 saves all the application preferences, user folders, documents, music, pictures, application cache, etc in Windows User Profile folders. If your system is used by more than 2 users, it becomes indispensible to clean the junk off these folders on regular basis to save precious disk space. Since our focus is to reset Windows 7 to original settings, lets take a look at the best way of removing User profile folders. If Administrator account is not active on your system, it is advisable to activate administrator account to start afresh.
To begin, run CMD from Windows Search with administrative privileges. Now enter following command to activate the administrator account.
net user administrator /active:yes
admin 2
Once activated, log off from Windows and log into Administrator account. Now type Advanced System Settings in Start Search and hit Enter. Under User Profiles section, click Settings to view all the User Profiles. Delete all user profiles except one which is currently being used.

Conclusion

Hopefully, after following above steps, you would be able to reset Windows 7 to the original clean state. Don’t forget to defragment your hard disk volumes in the end. We’ve tried to touch the most prominent aspects to retain Windows 7 default settings and may have missed out on many. If you have any other important tool, method, or a script in mind which can assist user in resetting Windows 7 to factory settings, drop it off in comments section below.

Norton 2012 Internet Security Review – More than Just Antivirus

Posted on 10:10 by Unknown
In recent years, Symantec’s Norton Internet Security on packages for end-users is a complete makeover. The comprehensive package of security tools works better now than ever before and offers an impressive list of features and new tools such as remote management and to analyze the stability of downloads.
Even when tests conducted by third-party benchmarks that evaluate the effectiveness of product safety, the program is at the upper end of the scale. CNET Labs performance benchmarks also suggest that users should be in their daily work, despite the considerable resources required under normal conditions with minimal impact from the Norton software.
Main screen - norton internet security 2012 review

Installation

Norton’s package, for the third consecutive time offers a smooth and quick installation process. After starting the setup, the software has been around for a minute, ready to work. An amazing speed – especially if you compare the installation times of earlier versions.
During the installation process, you already interacted for the first time with Norton’s behavioral detection network, called “quorum”: The installation program asks the user whether the program must submit to the continuous improvement of the network anonymous data to Symantec’s cloud. A rejection decreases, according to Symantec’s protection not only prevents but otherwise active, automatic data transmission.
Even if you only want to use the trial version, you must register the program. Good thing is that you can do the registration within the application. Older versions of Norton opened, how many other programs that automatically the default browser to the registration site of the company.

User interface

Norton Internet Security 2012 has, in comparison to the 2011 interface even if the design is strongly reminiscent of the earlier version but some changes to the UI. The background is dark and still kept with yellow text provided so very contrasting and easy to read. There is a newly organized and simplified user interface for program settings, and an Advanced page, which among others includes a CPU meter.
CPU Meter - norton internet security 2012 review
Power users can configure this page as a Home screen to perform important tasks faster. Furthermore, the indicator for system status has been optimized a bit. The balance between the available functions and empty land is managed in the current version much better, which affects the entire user interface much more balanced and enjoyable.
The access to the essential functions of the program is via three centrally-placed functional categories. Each of these categories is represented by an icon and a text: scan on the left side, live update in the middle and advanced on the right side. Clicking a category opens a built-in window that displays the category corresponding functions to choose from. Full scan and LiveUpdate also show continuously on current status reports. Download Windows 7/Direct3D 11 (DirectX 11)
In the lower area of ??the interface, a wide flat world map with blinking yellow dots can be seen. According to Symantec, each dot represents a threat to a Norton user. This figure is pretty to look at, but totally irrelevant to the safety of the user. Interestingly however, are a series of buttons that are located below the map. These allow to Norton Online Family, Norton Online Backup and Norton Safe Web access, without having to switch to the browser that you need.
After uninstalling the program, there remains about ten registry key. Other tracks are not visible. Overall, the installation of Norton is quick and easy. There are few configuration options, although these are necessary and useful.

Features

There are not many new features in Norton Internet Security 2012 version which can be said to be very useful or offer improved safety concepts. In the bottom of the main window there is now a link to the mobile version of “Norton Mobile Security.” Beside it is a link to a new management tool called “Norton Owner”. The web-based tool, which automatically opens when clicking the link in the default browser allows centralized management of all on their own computers installed Norton products.
Users can check the security status of all devices (PCs and Smartphones), install Norton applications on remote machines, as well as renew license key. To use the above functionality, you need a service once the program is installed on the devices.
Another new feature is “Download Insight“, which was supplemented by a very useful detail: When downloading a file is now not only checks whether this represents a potential security risk, but also if you find information about is whether this file the stability of the computer impaired, as is well known that it is a poorly written driver. To determine the stability of the risk and used Norton anonymised data, originating from the computers of users who have consented to this.
Another innovation is to limit the bandwidth management, the uncritical Norton updates and reduces the data volume. This is important in many mobile data rates, especially when roaming. In addition, there are numerous other improvements in the layout and user interface that visually enhance the program and simplify the detection of features.
The porting of the Norton-360-Startup Manager was an excellent idea. About the Startup Manager allows applications that are not needed immediately (for example, the Instant Messenger), will shut down or delayed. This can speed up boot time on the computer. Experienced Windows users can also manually make these settings, of course, but simplifies the use of these tools work immensely. On the integrated community ratings it also provides valuable information about the applications available.
Startup Manager - norton internet security 2012 review
The Identity Safe has been improved and now comes with password features that are similar to those of LastPass, as well as cloud-based sync and vaults. These functions are offered by some other vendors for quite some time.
Google Chrome is finally getting support for Norton Safe Web feature – but unfortunately, not surprisingly, in Norton Antivirus. It is understandable that some features for Symantec equipped extensive, more expensive versions picks, but the decision to only selectively for Chrome Safe Web to make available is an unnecessary blow to the user in the user acceptance of the fastest growing browser.
The reputation-based protection checks of where and when the programs were installed on the computer, and compares these data with those of the 58 million users who participate in the based on Crowd-sourcing Norton Community Watch to decide whether one of the programs with a red flag must be provided.
Norton’s “System Insight” component has now been brought to version 2.0. The proprietary internal network from Symantec warns users when programs take unnecessary system resources in hardware. The function evaluates to the graphs to illustrate the system performance can be found by clicking on a tip, which was causing this.
System Insight - norton internet security 2012 review
The third edition of Download Insight uses the same reputation-based logic for new downloads, and the fourth edition of Norton SONAR (Symantec Online Network for Automatic Response) looks for suspicious software behavior and automatically selects the appropriate protective measures. In the Settings window allows you to define how aggressively to proceed to SONAR.
In addition to the Quick Scan, Full System scan and custom scan for viruses and malware. Norton also offers a search for malicious links on your own Facebook wall.
Moreover, there are reputation-based quick scans, full scans and scans, the user can start if needed. These test programs installed immediately after completion and provide a summary of the run ready. More detailed information, for example, to scan duration as well as the perceived threats, can be found under the option “History” in the main window.
In the event that Norton has missed something during scanning, there is a link. However, this should in future be less an issue because of the reputation-based protection is becoming more mature and because of the always-on protection manual scans are no longer so urgently needed.
The bootable recovery tool is not new, but can now automatically create a bootable CD  DVD or a bootable USB device. The USB component is particularly important for systems without an optical drive, such as netbooks.
Norton provides free security offerings will continue. These include the Parental Control Norton Online Family, the “Lite” version of Norton Safe Web and the new Norton Power Eraser. The latter is a tool that cleans your computer of fraudulent anti-virus programs and other malware that prevents legitimate security tools can be installed.
Like the entire program has also the support options in a drop-down menu at the top right summarized on the user interface. With the menu item “Help” the Norton support site is opened, “instructions” lead users to a website with comprehensive step-by-step solutions. “Request Support” link in a new window takes you to the resources of Norton’s customer support. There, users can get around the clock technical support, chat, read the manual and search the FAQ and knowledge base.
There is also phone support available. But one trend, Symantec also makes its users access to our telephone help and tries primarily to refer to the online resources.

Performance

Norton’s fast installation and its extensive capabilities would be useless without a solid performance. Norton Internet Security 2012 can prove this by an exceptionally good results in third-party performance tests and performance benchmarks.
Norton 2012 in a practical test conducted by CNET took two minutes and 43 seconds for a quick scan and for one complete scan- 1 hour 43 minutes and 54 seconds. The average maturity of the full scan is roughly equivalent to the period of the previous year, whereas the slower quick scan to about one minute and 30 seconds was the average of the past year.
Benchmarks to prove the CNET Labs, the power of Norton Internet Security 2012 and Norton Antivirus 2012 is assessed as good, but not quite approaches the performance of some of its competitors.

In an independent tests for threat detection and removal, Norton excells. Tests in the first quarter of 2011 were conducted by AV-Test.org, reaching Norton Internet Security 2011 on Windows 7 PCs 5.5 out of 6 points for its protective effects, 5 of 6 points for his performance, and repair 4.5 out of 6 for ease of use. In the overall standings, the product thus reached 15 of maximum 18 points and was one of the better of the products tested.
Norton continues its chosen path already from 2009 to 2011 and delivers with its excellent detection, quick scan times and low number of false positives again an impressive performance from. However, some of the tests clearly show that there is little slip-up.

Conclusion

Symantec provides with its premium security suite, Norton Internet Security 2012 is one of the best commercial security solutions on the market. The seamless integration of behavior-based threat detection combined with the attentive observation of the stability of the program downloads make it a compelling choice for the protection of computers.

10 Reasons why Application didn’t open on Windows and their Solution

Posted on 21:25 by Unknown
Two mouse clicks and the program you just installed does not open. Or another opens, but displays an error a few seconds and then closes or disappears suddenly. And you stare at the wallpaper, which is nice, yes, but not it’s any consolation.

The reasons why an application quits unexpectedly, sometimes taking others with them, are many, but can be grouped into a few categories. You know put it on the track of the error and its solution.

1. Essential Dependency / DLL, Plugin Missing

Many Software are programmed on a platform that they require some base dependency to start. These can be .NET Framework, Java Runtime Environment, Adobe AIR, Flash or Microsoft DirectX. It’s not about just 1 or 2 application but install all those mentioned as many application often requires their support in backend.

If there is an error of Missing DLL or Component then probably, the file is corrupt or installer didn’t had permission to write that file on installation directory. So, Re-installation is only solution in this case.

2. Incompatible with Operating System or Processor

Probably, you are trying to run a 64 Bit Program on you 32 Bit (x86) Windows Installation.

If you see an error message related to the Windows version, do not despair: you can still CONFIGURE on the Compatibility tab of the executable and Windows will pretend to be an older version to run that executable file.

3. Insufficient Memroy

This error is rarely seen these days with powerful processors and big storage space Computers but some application demands more power.

Fortunately Windows can itself such problems. As a last resort, if you receive a notice of insufficient memory, without 3D acceleration graphics card or insufficient space on the hard disk, try the following:
Clean up Disk Space and Use Game Booster like programs.

4. Conflict with other programs / access the same resource

Some programs may conflict with others already in progress. The most common cause is access to a system resource already in use as a webcam or a reserved memory space. The virus, for example, rarely can coexist because they tend to “sit” in the same “seat” of memory.
The solutions to reinstate the old and the new program, update both (conflict resolution) or at least throw them separately (not together). To deal with conflicts when they occur, lay hold of the Task Manager or one of its alternatives.

5. A virus has infected the program

An event that can never be ruled out in case of unexpected crashes, blue screens , crashes and errors when opening programs is the viral infection. The rugged design of many viruses usually affect the system in unpredictable ways, and programs can not function normally.
You should probably get a good Antivirus program to sort out the infection. If you don’t like it, then refer guide to survive without Antivirus on Windows.

6. False Virus Detection

I know Viruses are aggressive so even Antivirus Programs have to be tightly configured to deal with. Sometimes, Antivirus detects a completely safe program as Threat and doesn’t allow it’s execution.

In such case, even you cannot take risk to run being unsure about the safety. Running the program in Sandbox will be a good idea to avoid taking risk. Antivirus program like Avast, Comodo and Panda have inbuilt support for this feature.

7. Not Enough Permissions

There are user permissions and then administrator permissions. The first allows you to do almost everything except install programs or run for the first time on some computers. Only with the latter, the Admin, you can do everything else.
If Windows will refuse access to a program or not you can install or do something with it, change the type of your user account to Administrator. If you are already Admin, and still facing error, Right click on Executable file and “Run as Administrator”.

8. The system is corrupt (files are damaged!)

When Windows has suffered irreparable damage, for example, after cleaning too aggressive or power cuts, programs that depend on it may stop working. In that case …

  1. Try Restoring Windows to Previous Working state
  2. Run SFC / scannow from the command to restore the basic files
  3. Use Comodo Time Machine to restore your computer to a previous state

9. Association problem EXE or LNK

One of the peculiar problems associated with implementation is that has to do with the file association. The open with Paint BMP, TXT open with Notepad, what about the EXE? If a virus or other program touching the association of EXE or LNK (shortcut), you can no longer open programs!

In such case, you need to fix File associations and if EXE association itself is damaged then run registry key mentioned on Seven Forums.

10. Another Instance of program is already running.

There are programs that can only be opened once, or if you have hung prevent re-open as normal. An example is Firefox, you can not open another browser window if the main is blocked and lost somewhere in memory.

o fix this, nothing better to open the Task Manager and close the process fault. Another thing you can do is take a look at the taskbar to see if the program run is still there.
Did you ever happened to any of these problems? How did you fix it?
