Can I delete the file C:\Windows\winsxs\ManifestCache to increase disk space?

blacknred0 — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 00:21:35 +0000

Give the following credit to the source. – Recently I was fixing a PC that had the manifest file at 30GB. Below you would be able to find the proper steps to fix the issue.

Hi,

All the necessary files for specific additions, roles, applications will be contained in the %windir%\Winsxs directory. The %windir%\winsxs folder (also referred to as the component store) is used to store all the installation source files that are needed for Windows to service itself and its optional components, which takes the place of the traditional flat from media.

To achieve saving some space there is a workaround – to manually delete some folders from WINSXS. Take great care what folders you can delete, because you may break the functionality of your Windows installation and render your product unsupported.

a. Click on start and type cmd in the search bar and right click on cmd.exe in the search pane and click Run as administrator.
n. Navigate to folder C:\Windows\Winsxs
c. Run this command:
Net stop trustedinstaller

NOTE: Wait for this service to stop and ensure it stops successfully. If you are unable to stop the service, you must restart your machine. Do not attempt the next step if you are unable to stop the trustedinstaller service.

d. Then execute these commands:
Takeown /f %windir%\winsxs\ManifestCache\*

e. You should now have available, some more free disk space.

Hope this helps.

Del /q %windir%\winsxs\ManifestCache\* Icacls %windir%\winsxs\ManifestCache\* /GRANT administrators:F

How to use conditional formatting to shade every other row in Excel

blacknred0 — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:04:32 +0000

The other day I was on MS Excel and I wanted to have every other row colored, since it was really difficult to read due to the content that I had. I found a really good solution where all you would have to do is to

Select the rows that you would like to color
Go to Format -> Conditional Formatting
In Condition 1 change it to select Formula Is instead
enter the following formula =MOD(ROW(),2)=1
Click on Format button
When then new box opens up, click on the Patterns tab
Pick the color that you would like, and then click OK.
Now on the Conditional Formatting dialog box, click OK.

Then enjoy your colors on every other row

Move messages from one Lotus Notes archive to another archive

blacknred0 — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 21:25:05 +0000

Just recently I found out how difficult is to search through out my split archives. I found this recourse but, really doesn’t give me the information that I need in order for me to be able to merge my archive *.nsf files. So, instead here I am documenting how you can merger multiple Lotus Notes archive files.

make sure that your folder structure is the same across archives. If is not, then create the folders in the archive where you will be moving the data to.
backup your archives just in case something goes wrong
create an archive replica where you would like to move the files to
go to your workspace
right click on the replica that you would like to move data from
go to Applications -> properties
Click on “Archive Settings…”
Create a new setting.
Click “Selection Criteria…” . In this case we are going to move any file that hasn’t been modify in the last 1 day.
Check “Enable this criteria”
Update the section “What Should Happen to the Selected Documents?” and choose the archive db where you will be moving this data to.
Once you are done click “OK”, then “OK” again.
At this point you should be back to the workspace. Double click/open on the archive db that you would like to move data from.
Go to File -> Application -> Archive…
Then hit “Yes”
Let it run in the background until all your emails has been moved. Hit F9 to refresh window if you are not sure if all your emails have been moved.
before saying viola … double check that everything has been move and then viola!!! enjoy having only one archive.

Let me know whether this documentation didn’t help you or not

In case that you were not aware. A new law will be passed in the senate as early as January 24th. What this would mean is that what we know of the Internet could change by controlling our freedom to express our selves and it could bring websites like Facebook to track what we post, etc.

here is a video if you would like more information
