Reduce Windows 7 WinSxS Folder Size
With Windows Vista we could remove thous files with a tool (WinSxS Lite here).
With Windows 7 we cant.
The WinSxS folder is used to store install and uninstall files, windows packages (current and previous versions of a component) and out-of-band releases. You should not delete this folder.There is now a way to remove the unnecessary files from this folder using the command line :
(admin mode -> Click Start -> Type “cmd” . Right click on “cmd” and choose “Run as Administrator”).
- dism /online /cleanup-image /spsuperseded

Reduce space from HIBERFIL.SYS

Windows 7 accessing share folder failed
Browse to “Local Policies” -> “Security Options”. Now look for the entry “Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level” and open it. Click on the dropdown menu and select “Send LM & NTLM – use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated”. Apply the settings.
In the Advanced sharing settings page of Network and sharing center, you need to have it set as Work/Home profile. Try
-Enable network discovery
-Turn on file and print sharing
-Turn off password protected sharing
-Use user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers
The other settings such as encryption I have set as use 128 bit encryption.
