Restart explorer.

So...I deleted all the temp files since it seemed to have amassed 4 or so GBs worth, and now whenever I start the computer I get this thing whining at me about how 104537Log.iniis is lost, then I get rid of it and continue with my day.

Been like that for a month or so but it's wearing a bit thin now, how do I get rid of it permanently?

While the message is up, open task manager. Select the message box, and choose "go to process" that will tell you what program is moaning. Once we know that, we can work out why :)

I'm not familiar with that one, but it's probably the usual manufacturer shitware. Maybe google a bit about it, and if it's safe, see if you can uninstall it.

Sounds like it. Asus is the manufacturer of my netbook. Odd that it'd be complaining about what sounds like a log file. In a temp directory at that.

Did some Googling, deleted a thing, and now stuff is back to normal and we can have butterflies and happiness again.

Asus has some funky software that is not ideal to optimally using your computer. About the only thing of theirs you'll ever need is CPU clocking stuff. It's mostly harmless, though.

I had an issue with my Lenovo laptop where the background program (on at startup for some reason, a false sense of starting up quickly probably) for the video camera client that came with the laptop prevented Supreme Commander from running, causing it to crash at startup. It's bizarre and inexplicable sometimes, the effect those programs can have on other programs.

Sounds like a good reason to wipe clear the startup programs except for the important ones when you get a laptop.

A lot of times if I try to cut and  paste a lot of files from my Droid Razr Maxx to my PC it will either copy the files instead of cutting them, miss a lot of the files, and/or cause windows explorer to crash. Is this a common problem and is there a fix for it?

This is due to how windows sees your phone as a media device which doesn't allow you to to cut items. Your only option is pulling your external sd card.

It doesn't seem to have one (If it does, I haven't been able to find it, and I've looked)

Really? The micro sd slot is right next to the sim card slot for the Razr Maxx. there should a small door on the top right side of your phone to access that.

Other than that, your only other option is to run a ftp server off your phone but you probably need root for that.

I have facebook on my phone, is there any way to restrict it from using most of its bullshit privileges? I don't have root right now but rooting my phone is something im willing to do.
