In german windows the directory Users shown name is Benutzer (german word for users). This applies because this word is set as name in the desktop.ini. The real directory name still is Users. This also applies for Pictures, Documents and so on (Bilder, Dokumente).
Same goes for all different languages, every Windows installation in different languages than english has the actual system directories names in english but they display to user in the system lamguage
When you minimize an UWP app, after some time Windows will write the entire process memory to the swap file. This is not the case with desktop apps where sections of process memory is written in random locations. To prevent issues with older apps that use uncontrollable IPC methods, Microsoft decided to create a new file for WinRT apps in Windows 8.
4:55 as you unlocked the hiberfil.sys file, the system couldn't sync opened startup apps on it for the fast boot. So it's safe to assume windows disabled both hybernation and fast boot as a response, making the file unnecessary therefore removing it.
I guess the reason for the hybernation file disappearing is just security. If you change or modify the file, it gets removed. Otherwise ypu could maybe manipulate the systems behavior after waking it up from hibernation.
For the hibernation mode, I guess what happen is, the unlock program trace back what programs use the file and force end it, which on the hibernation feature probably have the same effect as to disabling yourself manually the hibernation feature, Windows probably have a separated function that doesn't use the file itself but monitor those system programs, and if one shut down, rather than said program having itself to clean files, the monitoring program do the job. And since, for avoiding to wait for an extended time that the RAM is dumped into that file, the program handling hibernation probably constantly write some part of the RAM into that file, which is why you can't delete it and why it is in use, I would be curious to know if the hibernation feature is still enabled or if you had to re-enabled it after deleting this file.
Desktop.ini dates back to Windows 95, it's original function was to define certain folders as "special folders", for example the Fonts folder. If you delete desktop.ini from that folder, it will no longer show the fonts in the usual way, it'll just show them as their raw files like any other folder.
Some clarification about swap file - windows (any os, so to speak) uses it when there's no more memory left. That's why the size of this file is not that big compared to the page file. However, when OS does use it, computer works very very slow but it's better than crashing. The page file on the other hand, stores things in memory that aren't used that often, exactly as you said
I recently deleted a window kernel file on a windows Vista and still didn't break my grandfather s computer but if I delete what u said bam! U are a true youtuber my friend
Normally desktop.ini only appears in any folder when the user customizes the folder icon to something else. So, deleting desktop.ini normally just reverts the folder icon customization.
Would like to see a video on what to do when you buy a new computer (desktop, laptop, tablet, etc)Talk about how to set it up and what to do before starting to use the computer. TY
Desktop.ini... I deleted so many of those damn files back in the XP days when I was moving everything over to Linux... I'm happy to have never seen one since, except maybe a stray file stashed away with the contents of a zip file here and there from someone else's machine.
What if instead of pausing the virtual machine, you clicked on the "save machine state", then deleted the page file within the mounted VHD. Then went back into the machine. Would that make the effect of the page file suddenly being deleted?
The pagefile is a lot of random ram memory. There is no problem to delete ram while the computer is off because it does delete the ram when u turn off the computer

here's a neat trick: You can make a folder have a tip thing pop up if you put "InfoTip=bla bla bla" in the desktop.ini (you can replace bla's with something useful). hover the mouse over the folder and a thing will pop up saying "bla bla bla {Other folder stuff}"
Nice. I have an OLED tv as monitor and deleted my desktop.ini files. Didn’t see any difference, but I guess I customized some folders not realizing. Thx Joe
pagefile.sys is literally RAM on a hard drive, meaning that it will be in use by every process and their dogs. That's why you couldn't delete it until you shut down the VM. Even files with little to no protection at all are impossible to move, rename or delete if they are open in any program.
I have a Dell have had many dells my first one kept giving me the desktop.ini file after upgraded to windows 10 was having some problems got ahold of tech support they deleted the file and did some tweaks and then i just kept deleting them.
I hibernated a windows system, booted into linux and deleted the hiberfil, nothing was affected except that the state of hibernation was lost (it booted like a regular startup).
There is also some software which cant run without a pagefile despite having more than enough RAM. If that wouldnt be the case I could disable it with my 64 GB RAM.

many years ago, I deleted the System 32 file on my dad's pc back in windows XP days. And when I reboot, it won't go into windows, as you might have expected.
what happens if you delete hyberfil.sys while windows is hibernating? also why is it called hyberfil? did someone make a typo and now it’s too late to change it?
Probably associated with something entirely different if it was actually called hyberfile.sys. Especially since the characters you aren't allowed to use in filenames serve that purpose as well. So very likely not a typo & intended. No one's going to see it anyway by default so why work around that for a single character in the name.
