    Let me know if anyone has more ideas for "What If" videos, these are usually pretty fun to make.

      Me, being in IT for over 20 years, I've seen a end user actually do this at a company I once worked at.
      This was back in the days of Windows 95! Due to that, back then, hard drive capacities were so small (i.e. 250 MB, etc...) Hard drive space was always a challenge to maintain. So I made the mistake, back then, to instruct a end user that when they feel their hard drive is running out of space, to delete all the temp files and folders that they are not using so the computer won't crash.
      Well, unbeknownst to me I never thought a user would delete the Windows folder. I Thought they knew what this folder was for. Unfortunately, they didn't and one day when I was coming into work, my pager (yes, PAGER!) was blowing up.
      When I got to work, the user told me that the computer wouldn't boot. After scavenging for the Windows boot floppy disks (yes, THAT'S FLOPPY DISKS! LOL) when I got into the command prompt, I noticed the Windows folder was missing. I asked the end user where it went, "SHE" told me that she never used that folder and so she deleted it to gain some more space on the computer, but then the computer blue screen'd on her and crashed! LOL
      I never made that mistake again on informing end users to delete anything from their computers!! LOL

    • Did you make sure to take ownership of the files before granting write/delete permissions?
    • If you recycle, then of course it will slow down; it will get very slow as the bin fills with more and more items which it has to keep track of. You should have deleted them instead of recycling. Moreover, if they're recycled instead of deleted, the files still exist and will continue to be used in-memory, so it only _looks_ like they've been deleted.

    I’ve always been confused about why the critical Windows files are just as easy to get to as any other old file on the computer. Wouldn’t they want to have to folders hidden away or something, so that they can’t be deleted accident or by someone that’s clueless about the importance of those files?

    • @aurelia8028
      @aurelia8028 Год назад +1

      Well you can't actually do anything to the root folders on the C: drive (or wherever windows in is installed), because by default you don't have access to them. And the average idiot won't know how to get access. Also any attempt at making devices more closed is a terrible idea for people who actually know what they're doing. I hate you can't do shit with smartphones because they're so locked down.

      Well, my computer has:
      8gb RAM
      i5-5200U CPU
      Nvidia 840m GPU
      Intel HD-???? GPU
      My pc can sure open Minecraft with 10-60 FPS, R6 with 20-40 FPS and Watch Dogs 2 with really bad fps.
      And also, my pc opens applications slower.

      @@skydeit1032 i also have 8gb ram, and i also modded my computer to look like windows xp for some reason, and also as soon as i start my computer, steam, discord, and spotify start up all at the same time. i do have windows 10 64 bit, and for some reason sometimes when i startup my pc, i see about 3 windows with command prompt startup and close for a split second, and a windows notification that pops up in the middle of my screen saying that intel graphics command center needs to be installed for some what reason. and it also takes 5 minutes for me to get pass the lockscreen, it should take just 5 seconds to enter in your password
