check useless files in my system and system32 directory

Hi

well some day ago i had a problem , a dll installed by a program(nero 6.0) gave me many problems

luckily i discovered the files and delete them , they are stored in system32 dir of my xp


well i don't know which are the files in my system or sytem32 that are not microsoft , i mean that other software installed in my pc
a solution is use a program like total uninstall , and check which files the installer put in these folders

well i would like to know if there is a program that scan these folders and tell me which are the files that not microsoft files

i mean at least that notice me which are not included in the xp os

every program useful are welcome


thanks
have a nice day

 

Why bother for all this trouble! I will not touch it, inviting troubles and no beneifit!

 

Agree

mantra, if you were simply curious who belonged to who, I would suggest adding the Company Name column in Windows Explorer for the Systems 32 folder. While some files want be recognized, Microsoft files will and even others.

Open Windows Explorer and go to View > Choose columns and select Company Name. As far as I know, you would have to highlight each folder\sub-folder that you wished to add the Company Name column to.

 

Thanks!
but i told you a bloody dll screw up my system
and is a case that i find it

 

Hi Mantra,

The file's name? Which program's throwing the error? Run a system search, post ALL location's where found.
Apply the method outlined under "generic" troubleshooting - http://users.iafrica.com/c/cq/cquirke/dllhell.htm

well, Autoruns http://technet.microsoft.com/fi-fi/sysinternals/default(en-us).aspx
can tell you the information. And much more.

 

well one file that screw up my system are some dll installed by backupgenie to access to dvd/cd/hard disk , to be honest i don't remember the name of these files
a second file is the nero aspi layer installed by nero 6 in window32

 

Sound's like a filter's issue. Is it you're intention to use both program's, or has one been removed?

GF

 

yeah , i removed backup genie and the aspi dll of nero6
and now i have no problem
but in the past i got problems with acronis paragon & ultimate defrag
now seems ok!
