00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.830
morning believe me while my coffee wrapper will damage to your system no

00:00:04.920 --> 00:00:12.360
more tech money no more over lush no more all my apology horses odds are

00:00:10.650 --> 00:00:17.010
pretty good that you've seen a message like that if you've ever tried to delete

00:00:14.280 --> 00:00:22.680
a file that Windows wants to cling to like you cling to that picture of your

00:00:19.590 --> 00:00:25.740
ex especially if said file is inside the

00:00:22.680 --> 00:00:27.960
system32 folder but what exactly about

00:00:25.740 --> 00:00:32.219
it is so gosh darn important that makes Windows as cagey and nervous as an

00:00:29.939 --> 00:00:37.050
initech employee during a performance review and why do internet trolls advise

00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:41.820
deleting it let's start with the first bit many of the files inside system 32

00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:47.160
take the form of dynamic link libraries or dll's these files contain code and

00:00:44.610 --> 00:00:52.050
data that can be accessed and shared by many programs including Windows itself

00:00:49.469 --> 00:00:58.670
the DLL is inside the system32 folder enable functionality from control panel

00:00:54.989 --> 00:01:01.140
options to error checking system updates

00:00:58.670 --> 00:01:07.470
streaming media support encryption services audio and video playback

00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:10.290
DirectX rendering and even the Windows

00:01:07.470 --> 00:01:14.630
interface itself I mean it wouldn't be very easy to use Windows if you couldn't

00:01:12.689 --> 00:01:18.570
even freakin see what you were doing system32 also includes most of your

00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:23.790
drivers which you can learn more about up here as well as elements of the

00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:29.700
Windows kernel the fundamental code that interfaces Windows with your hardware

00:01:25.850 --> 00:01:32.189
allowing it to well work what that means

00:01:29.700 --> 00:01:36.869
is that many of these files simply can't be deleted after you boot into Windows

00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:41.430
since they've already been loaded into memory but even deleting other system32

00:01:39.150 --> 00:01:45.420
files will probably end up breaking a number of obvious things on your system

00:01:43.350 --> 00:01:49.680
and result in your computer refusing to boot the next time you try to turn it on

00:01:47.130 --> 00:01:54.270
meaning you'll end up having to run some system recovery of some sort to have any

00:01:52.350 --> 00:01:58.439
chance of getting it back up and running without a full reformat so this all

00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:03.240
sounds like stuff you obviously wouldn't want to get rid of so why is anyone

00:02:00.420 --> 00:02:07.829
trying to do it well not surprisingly many non computer savvy folks have no

00:02:05.520 --> 00:02:11.790
idea what the system 32 folder is at all leading to some

00:02:09.709 --> 00:02:15.880
enterprising trolls spreading a meme that deleting system 32 will make your

00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:20.020
you to run twice as fast this particular piece of memory has been

00:02:18.220 --> 00:02:25.030
making its rounds on the internet since at least the early 2000s but the way

00:02:22.810 --> 00:02:29.740
it's usually presented still fools many computer novices typically there will be

00:02:27.490 --> 00:02:34.090
a bit of copypasta describing system32 as a folder that Microsoft uses to

00:02:31.980 --> 00:02:39.400
intentionally hobble your computer's performance as part of some conspiracy

00:02:36.220 --> 00:02:41.620
to get you to go by PC tune-up software

00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:45.640
or something or even claiming the system32 is just straight-up malware

00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:50.290
then using step-by-step instructions that are designed to look like more

00:02:47.440 --> 00:02:56.110
credible system tuning tips directing users to enter one or two lines on a

00:02:52.600 --> 00:02:57.880
command prompt to delete the folder to

00:02:56.110 --> 00:03:02.410
be clear there are many people on the web that offer honest advice about how

00:03:00.070 --> 00:03:07.870
to speed up a slow computer but in this particular case it's a giant hoax so the

00:03:05.710 --> 00:03:11.740
moral the story is don't delete system32 and don't take computer maintenance

00:03:09.940 --> 00:03:16.330
advice from people that list master of mammalogy on their resumes cut out their

00:03:14.380 --> 00:03:19.390
VPN lets you tunnel to up to 20 different countries and make it seem

00:03:17.980 --> 00:03:24.400
like your connection is coming from that country they've easy-to-use apps for iOS

00:03:21.970 --> 00:03:28.300
Android PC and Mac and they also have a Chrome extension just choose the country

00:03:26.290 --> 00:03:31.810
in the app turn tile bear on and watch as your bear tunnels your internet

00:03:29.620 --> 00:03:34.960
connection to your new location when you turn total bear on two main things

00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:40.270
happen your connection gets encrypted with AES 256-bit encryption and your

00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:43.270
public IP address gets switched so you can show up as if you're in that

00:03:41.440 --> 00:03:47.320
different country tunnel very lets you bypass all the annoying details that

00:03:45.430 --> 00:03:51.340
typically come with using a VPN for personal use there's no need to mess

00:03:48.760 --> 00:03:54.250
around with port configurations or DNS or any other router settings if you're

00:03:52.750 --> 00:03:57.640
not comfortable with that tonal Bayer handles all of that in the background
