Deleting contents of the "Searches" folder.
Win7 ult
There is a folder.... "C:\Users\Peter\Downloads\Searches" that is now rather full of outdated stuff. Can I safely delete the contents of this? Is it possible to switch off this collecting of searchers? Peter |

Instead, I use one of the following, depending on what I want to search: Agent Ransack from http://www.mythicsoft.com/agentransack/ for searching for character strings within files Everything Search Engine from http://www.voidtools.com/ for searching for folders or files by name Search For Files from http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/search_my_files.html, which is new to me and not yet used -- David E. Ross Pharmaceutical companies claim their drug prices are so high because they have to recover the costs of developing those drugs. Two questions: 1. Why is the U.S. paying the entire cost of development while prices for the same drugs in other nations are much lower? 2. Manufacturers of generic drugs did not have those development costs. Why are they charging so much for generics? |

... There is a folder.... "C:\Users\Peter\Downloads\Searches" that is now rather full of outdated stuff. Can I safely delete the contents of this? Follow standard practice. 1. Create a new folder D:/Discards/Downloads/Searches 2. Move to that folder any outdated stuff you plan to delete. 3. Forget it for a while. If your system requires any of these files, it will prompt you "file not found" and you can put it back where it belongs. More probably, when nothing happens, you can delete all as convenient. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |
