What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It?

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It? On every Windows drive—even external USB drives—you’ll find a “System Volume Information” folder. You’ll only see it if you have Windows set to  show hidden files and folders , but it’s always there. So what is it for? Why Can’t I Open the Folder? On drives formatted with  the NTFS file system , this folder’s permissions are set to prevent everyone from accessing the folder, even users with Administrator permissions. Double-click the folder and you’ll see an error message saying the “location is not available” and “access is denied.” This is normal. That’s because Windows uses this folder for certain system-level features. The permissions are set to prevent users—and programs without the appropriate permissions—from tampering with the files inside and interfering with important system functions. What Is It For? Among other things, Windows stores  System Restore ...

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side , DigiTech Geeks Mobile Computing News

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side The Black Friday iPad deals are never any good, but in 2021 they've somehow failed to clear that laughably low bar, and we've still been surprised by just how poor the Apple-tablet discounts are this year. Seriously – we're talking just $50 / £50 off super-power iPad Pros , and sometimes no discounts at all on entry-level or Mini tablets – and this outlook very likely won't change for the Cyber Monday iPad deals . If you were wanting to buy a new iPad in the Black Friday sales, it might seem like you're plum out of luck. (Not in the US or UK? Scroll down for deals in your region). It's not all bad news though, not as long as you're willing to try new things (and aren't committed to the Apple ecosystem already). That's because there are a few worthy tablet Black Friday deals on Android slates that make them much, much more tempting than an iPad. Sure, sure, sure: i...

This Android tablet has a tiny feature I'd love the iPad Pro or Galaxy Tab to get , DigiTech Geeks Mobile Computing News

This Android tablet has a tiny feature I'd love the iPad Pro or Galaxy Tab to get I'll admit it: I'm not great with tablet styli. I like to use them (unlike on phones, where I don't see the point), but I've got a terrible habit of losing them. I've lost S Pens, Apple Pencils and more in my day. Sometimes this is sheer carelessness - I'll put them on a table and absent-mindedly walk away. Other times it's less my fault - I'll put the slate in my bag, and the stylus will get knocked off the magnetic clip, and disappear into the void that is my backpack. Sometimes I'll simply fail to correctly attach the stylus to the magnets and it'll disappear that way. I've just started testing the Lenovo Tab P12 Pro, a fairly premium tablet from Lenovo, and it's got one tiny feature that made using its stylus far slicker - I think it'll be easier to retain the Precision Pen 3 (as it's called) this way. A new stylus holder Most tablets t...
