Where is the Lenovo Factory Image stored - and what is c:\program files\ unknown ?

Working with an X61s running XP Pro SP3.
We are using a third party program (Ghost) to do our own image backups.  These are coming in larger than expected so I began by doing a disk cleanup, emptying recycle bin, temp files etc.  After those steps...
Properties for Drive C show 35.5 G out of 160 used.
However, when I add up any folders off the root that have more than .5G I get 29.7 G.
That leaves 6 G unaccounted for.
I have check Lenovo's Restore and Recovery function and it is OFF and has been off as soon as we started working with the machine.  When I open that program, it shows no files available... so apparently(?) none where made.
There is a 5G Fat 32 partition that I assume is Lenovo's factory image file.  That partition is not part of the Ghost Image.
I ran WinDirStat and found a file that IS a 5.9 G file located under Program Files which shows in WinDirStat as c:\Program Files\<unknown>.
If I open Windows Explorer, the total files under Program Files equals the total for the individual folders under Program Files (EXCLUDING the "unknown")... so the "unknown" folder does not show up in Windows Explorer... only in WinDirStat... and in the image files I create with Ghost.
Any one know if this 5.9G "unknown" file has anything to do with Lenovo's many built in programs?  Suggestions welcome.

After the above post I found out that this is not the image file, but are the window recovery point files.
If you want to knock this down in size (in my case, I was getting huge image backups because of it) you can right click on My Computer, select properties, select the system restore tab and reduce the %of the drive that can be allocated to system restore files.
Note that this will limit how far back you can go to select a restore point... so check how far back you can go now... then reduce the allocation a bit.... and check it again.  Continue to reduce it until you have a compromise between the age of the recovery points you can go back to, and the size of the allocation. 
Hope that helps.

  • I have a 4g classic iPod.Suddenly almost all my games won't play and I get a message to go to the site but there is nothing there for me. Where are the games for my iPod and what has changed to make my games no longer Play?

    Most of the games on my iPod classic 4g will not play anymore. I get a message that is of no help and when i synced the games they disappeared. What is going on and where have the games for iPods on iTunes gone ?

    Apple removed the clickwheel games from the iTunes Store back in September. 
    Have you tried a hard reset of the iPod to see if that helps resolve the issue of not being able to play the games?  To do this, first make sure the Hold Switch is in the OFF position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • Where is the signature capture image stored?

    Does anybody know where the image is stored once it's cptured?  I'm trying to find it so I can use it in other applications.
    Thanks

    Fully agreed here.
    but it also creates problems if users would like to use it to sign letters in Pages or emails without going though that additional step of saving it as a PDF and then signing it.
    I have been using scanned and stored signature for years on OS X. Screenshot/alpha_channel/copy&paste
    Most Page files get exported as PDF anyway to send or print,  so not necessarily an issue.
    Third party pdfPen does a beautiful job of handling stored signatures for user friendly experience.
    I do think it is progress for Apple and Sig Capture/Preview.

  • Where is the current desktop image stored??

    Hi,
    I have an image that I've set as my desktop and I want to find the original file...
    Where is this file kept? I haven't been able to find it in the 'library' or the 'system' files.
    Any help is appreciated as always...
    -SS

    If it's a custom one, it's stored in its original location. The default ones look like they're in "/Library/Desktop Pictures". You can find out where the current one is by opening the Terminal application and copying and pasting this one-liner:
    defaults read com.apple.desktop | grep ImageFilePath
    Hit the "enter" key and it'll tell you where the original file is.

  • Where is the Warp Stabilizer plugin located in After Effects CS6 program files?

    I need to delete the plugin temporarily to gain access to my project because it constantly crashes on start up due to the Warp Stabilizer.

    NOt sure if you can actually remove it,but it should be in the plugins/extensions sub-folder inside the AE install folder. Anyway, try the usual troubleshooting first before taking such a radical step that may destroy AE and require a reinstall. Flush the caches, open the project with capslock and remove the effect.

  • Where is the printer configuration info stored?

    I need to configure printing for a whole lab, and while I can configure an individual machine for one user via the Print/Fax option of System prefs, I can't find where all that info gets stored (some of it is in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.PrintingPrefs.plist, but not all) and I can't figure out how to slide that in as a whole-system configuration. Where is the per-user information stored, and where can I move it so that it applies system-wide?

    The printer queues are global so most of the information is not kept under any particular user. The path you mentioned keeps user relevant information, such as Presets.
    If the printers are using files that are included with 10.5, then the majority of compressed driver files are kept in ./Libary/Printers/Vendor or ./Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj for PostScript PPDs.
    When you add a printer queue, some of the information is kept in ./etc/cups. This includes the printers.conf file which has details about the added printer queues and the decompressed PPD that was selected during the queue creation.
    So if you are looking at copying the data from one Mac to reduce your setup on all the other Mac's, then you may have to tell us the make and model, as there could also be a number of additional directories/files you need.

  • I have an iMac, where are the completed print jobs stored on the iMac and what format are they?

    I have an iMac,  where are the completed print jobs stored on the iMac and what format are they?
    My OSX is 10.10.1

    Hi
    If you are using standard system or HP drivers, than the jobs contents are not saved at all.
    You can see the list of completed jobs per printer via this URL: http://127.0.0.1:631/printers/
    If you want to save a print job, you can do it in the print dialog, by selecting an action prom "PDF" popup.
    It allows to save a job (prior or instead to printing it) as PDF or PostScript.

    On your mac, mailboxes are listed under one of several categories.  Some are "on my mac" and others are in "icloud".  Those emails in mailboxes "on my mac" are strictly local, they do not connect with iCloud.  As Julian points out, all mailboxes on your mac are still there.  They will not be on your other devices.

    Hello Schimi. The Time Capsule is a kind of product that offer you two possibility:
    - To use the TC as a router or as an external HD.
    The difference between WPA and WPA 2 are:
    - They are two kinds of internet connection.
    WPA uses dynamic key encryption , which means that the key is constantly changing and makes the invasion of a wireless network more difficult than WEP . WPA is considered one of the highest levels of wireless security for your network and is recommended if your devices support this kind of encryption . Newer routers offer WPA2 security . WPA2 is compatible with WPA , but offers higher security level . In fact, it meets the high standards of many government agencies . If the router and computer support WPA2 , this should be your choice.
    If you need any help or if you find some difficult setting up it you can contact Apple Support.
    I am sure that they can help you with that.
    I am sory for the delay. I holpe that you solve your issue.

  • Where does the logging in RDBMSRealm go  --and-- are some JavaDocs missing?

    I see that a LogOutputStream is created in the example
    class RDBMSRealm, but where do all of the log
    statements go. The LogOutputStream is created as:
    log = new LogOutputStream("RDBMSRealm");
    but I do not see and file called RDBMSRealm and/or
    I do not see the log statements on stdout.
    BTW, I do have logging set to the most detailed
    level (Info) from the console if this matters.
    Also, are there some JavaDocs missing from
    Weblogic's Reference website at

    LogOutputStream is an example. I do not see the
    class when I select the package
    weblogic.logging.
    Where is it?
    Much Thanks

    Thanks Terry,
    Sorry, I should have mentioned that I am using WL6.0.
    Does anyone know what I need to do to get the RDBMS Realm log to start on
    WL6.0.
    About the missing JavaDocs: Also, if I am doing development using these
    classes I still do not
    understand why they are not on the 6.0 refernce site!
    About the missing JavaDocs,
    I see java docs for a lot of classes, but what document do I use that
    helps me to understand the entire framework? The Programming
    Weblogic Security does give this information.
    Example question: how do I get a reference to the realm to create
    users? Should I even be doing this?
    Thanks for your help.

    If you are using WLS5.1 you much set the property
    weblogic.security.realm.debug=true
    then this information will be sent to stdout. This is set to false by
    default, as there is a lot of information, and it is a big performance
    hit.
    I think weblogic likes to avoid some of its APIs being public, which is
    annoying at times, but probably reasonable

  • Where i can buy the keyboard for garage? and what other else has to buy to start my garageband?

    Where i can buy the keyboard for garage? and what other else has to buy to start my garageband? I am a beginner for garageband. Thanks.

    I second the M-Audio recommendation.  I have the Oxygen 8 and 61es keyboards from them, and they both work flawlessly with Garageband.
    what other else has to buy to start my garageband?
    This depends on what you want to do with Garageband.  Do you want to record with a keyboard only and just use Garageband's built-in software instruments? Do you want to record vocals? Do you want to record a guitar or bass or other instrument?  Do you want to record drums?
    Technically, you don't even need a keyboard to use Garageband, you could just use the software keyboard (Window -> Keyboard) or musical typing (Window-> Musical Typing).  However, an external keyboard will give you a lot more flexibility.  I don't recommend trying to record drums into Garageband unless you already know how to mic drums.  Instead use the built-in drum kit software instruments with your keyboard.
    Your iMac has a built-in mic, so you should be ok recording vocals with that.
    If you want to record an acoustic guitar or another acoustic instrument, you can also use the built-in mic though you may find that you don't like the way it sounds very much since built-in mics tend to pick up lots of noise from the computer itself. 
    If you want to record an electric guitar or bass, you can just plug in the line out on your instrument to the line in port on your iMac, but you won't get really good results.  You'd be better off geting a piece of hardware called an audio interface  Sweetwater sells these too:  http://www.sweetwater.com/shop/computer-audio/audio_interfaces/ (USB and Firewire interfaces are easiest to start with.)  M-Audio also has some good cheap interfaces.  I've used the FastTrack Pro for a few years now, and I started out with the FastTrack USB.
    Ok, that's probably more than you wanted to know...happy Garageband-ing!
