Try the links under my sig for Revo and Driver sweeper. Use Revo first. Sorry if I'm repeating my self.

reboot after using each one, check you folders for any hp ones. Go ahead and do a delete on them, they should be empty.

OK I've been using Driver Sweeper. I'll download Revo and try it too. Thanks

I don't want to confuse, but to remove your shares (Folders with green lines) download and open the attached folder, open it up and then follow my steps listed inside the file on each folder with the green lines you want to remove.

I was currently using Windows 8.1 however please be assured that the steps are the same for Windows 7.

Hope This Helps,
Josh! :)

So can you explain to me what you are calling the "shares folders" with the green lines under them. I tried clicking your link for the zip file and nothing happens.
I was thinking today, that about a few months ago I installed a larger Seagate HDD and everything went well. Could that be the reason for the green lines under the folders. I remember somebody said that that meant the folders were some where else? Thanks

Odd... I just downloaded the zip and opened it and the file is in there (Should open in IE)...


The folders with the green lines are called shares. They are linked with folders on your computer and when a share is setup a different computer on your network can then access that folder stored on your harddrive and then make any changes or retrieve files. Essentially it is a way of transferring files between two different computers on a network without copying them to a USB drive and then taking that drive to the other computer.

Unless you explicitly want this I would remove all the shares you have as this can be a security issue since remote users could have access to your files.

As for the download issue, did you check your download folder? What browser are you using?

Many Thanks,
Josh! :)

Hey, thanks, that's clearer now. This is the only computer in the house. So there should be those green lines there. I'll look harder for the zip folder. It's not a very large folder so maybe it downloaded fast and I sisn't notice. That might be another issue, because there has been times (not very often) in the past that I've had to open a link with Safari. Thanks for the answer back on share folders.
