How do I gain access to schedule disk clean up and disk defragment?
-
Hello, How do I remove the password protection from my archives/computer, so that I may scan them? When I try to scan my C:/, my AVAST scan shows 25 files that are password protected, and cannot be scanned. How do I gain access to schedule disk clean up and disk defragment? An error msg pops up. 0x80070005 Access denied You do not have permission How do I find out the user name? The 1 that shows appears not to be acceptable. I am a novice pc user. I run Windows XP (Professional) If you can, please offer step by step instructions. These are the instructions I am trying to follow: Whenever I "successfully schedule a task", This message pops up: The new task has been created, but may not run because the account information could not be set. The specific error is: 0x80070005: Access is denied. Try using the Task Page Browse Button to locate the application. So, I do. I type: %systemroot%\system32\defrag.exe I also get: Task Scheduler "An error has occurred while attempting to set task account information. The specific error is: 0x80070005: Access is denied. You do not have permission to perform the requested operation." This is what I typed in, per the instructions: %systemroot%\system32\defrag.exe I then get the task scheduler error message. Schedule Disk Cleanup to run automatically: Windows XPClick Start, and then click Control Panel. Click Performance and Maintenance. Under or pick a Control Panel icon, click Scheduled Tasks. In the Scheduled Tasks window, double-click Add Scheduled Task. In the Scheduled Task Wizard, click Next. Scroll down to Disk Cleanup in the list of Applications, click it (to highlight it), and then click Next. Under Perform this task, click Weekly, and then click Next. Set the time and day of the week you would like to run Disk Cleanup. For best results, choose a time when you're typically at your computer so you can provide any required input. I have checked "Upon Start Up." Click Next. Type your password in both the Enter the password and Confirm password boxes, and then click Next. Is this the same password, as the password I use to sign into my email? Click Finish. --------------------------------------… Set up Disk Defragmenter to run automatically: Windows XP Click Start, and then click Control Panel. Click Performance and Maintenance.

Then, click OK. In the Set Account Information dialog box, type your password in both the Password and Confirm password boxes, and then click OK. --------------------------------------… How do I tell which of the archived files SHOULD be pass worded, are not suspicious, etc? They appear to be "recovery" (SPYBOT), "userlist.zip", quarantinedlist.zip", WilQfraudlist.zip", and "internallist.zip" What do these mean? What beginner pc classes I should look into, to understand my pc, and the kind of stuff I am asking about? LOL I hope my questions make sense. lol Thank you. Emerald

Answer:
Your 'password' is not for the 'mail'. It is the one you enter when you boot-up the computer to access the 'User' account. All passwords for everything, should be unique. In order to schedule a task, (or other system modifying tasks) you must be using an "Administrative" level account. "Limited", or "Guest" accounts can't do these things. Password tactics Get yourself a small, plain looking note book (8" X 5") and hand write (in exaggerated font for 'no mistake' read back) a passphrase BEFORE you enter it into a slot. That way you don't forget what it is. And do NOT "copy & paste" from one slot to the second. Always re-type it. That way, you are entering it as you think you had it written, not as you did enter it. Have this 'unit handbook' divided into sections for different categories, like "System", "On-line shopping sites"; "Software purchased"; "Internet accounts"; (or other arrangement that suits your fancy) with "user name" and "passphrase". When changing a password, put a line through the old one, so if necessary you can retrieve it; it won't be totally gone in case the renaming process doesn't go correctly. Do not label the outside of the book "Passwords" or otherwise indicate what it is. PW's should never be re-used for different accounts. Repeated use of a single password can make password solution easier if your computer gets stolen, or ANY device with a keypad is being tampered with (like a house alarm), because keys tend to become polished, and letters (the painted variety) can wear off. This physical attribute can significantly reduce the number of permutations needed to solve a passphrase, allowing faster solution. For that reason, passwords should have frequent changes and not re-used key-string characters.
