Brian, thanks that worked

[Moving Files]

Actually, I just want to move them to another folder.  they are a string of DAT files.  I should just leave them alone but there are probably 30 or more.

 

thanks again

[Moving Files]

OK, thanks Chuck.  I seem to remember in Windows, you hold a key or two, like the crtl and alt to move a file.  but that did not work

[Moving Files]

Sorry, Dell Inspiration desktop running windows 7 home

I know how to drag and drop a file to an SD card, but that keeps the original file in place.  How do I move a file to a SD card and not keep the original ?

[DAT Files]

Chuck, thanks.  they don't take much space so to be safe, I'll just ignore them.

[DAT Files]

I have a long string of these files when I open Windows 7  under documents.  What are they and can I delete them ???

 Here is one of them  2017-06-22-18-06-00.dat  Nothing shows in from of the file as Excel and Word have.  it's just a blank box

I have files for both and I was told of another program that is free and available that would run all of my old Excel and Word files. an someone tell me or give me the link.  thanks for any help

[CPU Usage]

Chuck, I checked the  start  task manager, and under the processes tab, I see sys idle Process  CPU 50 % and suchost 49 %  I don't know what tis means  nothing is running on the computer

[CPU Usage]

Chuck, the first one found problems but the cost to repair is $60.  is the second one also a charge. ?  ran the second one and that's $25

[CPU Usage]

I'm still having a problem with the CPU running at 50% and higher with nothing open.   it used to be in the low teens.  everything is slow and I ran the Norton and Window defender with no results.

[CPU Usage]

Thanks flashh4.  I'm 73 and don't do much surfing.  email and checking my Bank account is the most I do.

[Windows 10 is here]

Will you lose all of your favorite web sites if you switch to 10 from7

[CPU Usage]

With nothing running, I looked at the start manager, and the CPU  Usage keeps bouncing between 50 to 80 % usage. Shows taskhost.exe using  almost 70 K .   shows host process for windows.

What is this ? iexplore.exe  shows 125 K.  this shows internet.
