Any program you install should be in your All Programs list, where you can open it and look through the various menus to understand what features it has that you want enabled.
 
Can't get it to do anything really, also now it doesn't say calculating forever it says its open in explorer which, when i run cmd and try to locate the file its in a folder called
that 70's show - season 1 which icnat get in that directory from my F drive and i also cant seem to type that file name in to delete it anyway. i got to F:\tv shows\

Thought that since you came here you might be interested in learning more about your OS and how to troubleshoot it. You have some level of corruption in the program and/or Explorer.

Most tech enthusiasts run a clean boot as much as possible and periodically checks their System files, plus know their way around the logs to see if they have repeat errors piling up: Troubleshooting Steps for Windows 7 - Windows 7 Forums .

Thanks! I was having the same trouble... I have that blob growing dllhost.exe and it locked a video file when I tried to delete it once (I don't know what that was about, I think I canceled it at the wrong time :P) anyway thanks rraod! :party:
