7 missing public windows desktop folder

• the Windows desktop folder structure

  The standard classification of windows 'computer, desktop, my documents' has been changed and I now several "desktop" and the sub folder 'My documents', containing the same files and documents. If I try to eliminate one, records and documents are also eliminated. By dragging a subfolder in the top folder does not either.  How to eliminate these subfolders and return to the standard vista classification structure for files and documents.

  Do not use 'Old' - simply the old username on its own.  If it is not there, then you have bigger problems because you have lost the profile and which can be difficult to recover.  And you should not need to look for it - just go to it since you know where it is (or where it should be).  It is that the administrator means only something, if it's the only active administrator on the system - you must be an administrator to do.  I gave instructions on the use of the AHA in the case where this is the case and you may need to do that (sorry I can't help you with a French translation, because even if I took the French at school, I forgot the most now - 35 or more years later with essentially no use in the meantime).

  Here are my general guidelines on how to recover lost files and folders in Vista (and it may take some time if you have lost the whole profile and you may have lost some data if you use the HDD in the meantime):

  If you have Vista Business, Vista Ultimate or Vista Enterprise, you can be lucky.  They have so-called saves shadow copies, which are deleted or modified files that can be recovered in case changes/deletions made by mistake.  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-Vista/features/shadow-copy.aspx more information about how to use this feature to: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/howdoi/?p=145.

  If you have Vista Basic or Premium of Vista, shadow copies is not available; However, there is an alternative that is free and the shadow copies feature called Shadow Explorer. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/recover-files-with-shadow-copies-on-any-version-of-windows-vista/.  Although it will not help you this time, it could very well save you in case this happens again.

  In case this does not work (not all files are available through shadow - it occurs periodically), here are some additional free recovery programs that might help:

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/freeware/system/fwdatarecovery.html (first try Recuva)

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/DiskDigger.html (try it then if Recuva does not work)

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/easusdfr.html

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/restoration.html

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/downloads/Recuva/dlrecuva.html

  http://www.SoftPerfect.com/products/FileRecovery/

  http://techpaul.WordPress.com/2008/06/23/how-to-recover-your-lost-files/

  The files are not really deleted until they are crushed (although they are no longer available through conventional methods).  If you decide to try these recovery programs, you should stop using your drive hard immediately in order not to replace the data that you are trying to recover.  He slave on another PC and launch the recovery of this PC.  Even now you have definitely lost some of them if you use the same PC.  If you can not do this (slave on another PC), you run the risk of overwriting the data with every action you do on the PC (but you may still be able to recover some or most or even all files - it's a matter of luck).

  Only you can decide if the data is important enough to take the PC to an expert data recovery to recover files (they will have better programs and hardware to do that none of us do, and I've provided above).  Do NOT go to the Geek Squad or one of these centers of store-, they generally don't know what they are doing - it take for expert data recovery.  It will cost you a little and they generally offer no guarantees.  The decision is yours.

  Good luck and I hope this helps!

• Windows Desktop Search gaps in the entire office vs specific folder search

  I am running Windows XP Pro on a laptop, and have installed WDS. If I search for a file from the Windows taskbar, it shows a file in my folder. If I click find on the file menu bar, (which opens from WDS, but specifies to search only in this case), it says that the file is not there. I tripled checked, closed the windows and searched again, with the same results. The 'version' of WDS that appears when looking for a specific folder, do not use the same index using the search bar?

• Windows 7 - files in the Desktop folder do not appear on real office

  I had Windows 7 installed a few months, have not had a single problem with it until the last round of updates. After the reboot, everything on my desk has disappeared, including trash. However, if I go to my home, all my files, links directory, folders and trash are always there. If I copy or drag something on the desktop, it immediately disappears, but again it is in my Desktop folder.

  I tried everything I can think and found fixes for similar problems in Vista, but they do not work with Windows 7.

  Maybe try right-click on desktop, display and uncheck the box next to show the desktop icons; then repeat and re-check the box. I had that happen before and it worked for me...

• How to stop desktop folder open in windows Explorer at startup?

  Whenever I start my laptop (windows 7) windows Explorer opens with the desktop folder.  I can't stop what's happening, and it drives me crazy (well there really difference, I just closed but it's just one of those things I can't stop annoying)

  Please can someone tell me how I can prevent this?  I tried MSCONFIG, but I see nothing there that refers to the folder of the office.

  Thank you

  Hi Ellen

  He is a longshot, but try the following and be careful when you edit the registry.

  Open the Registry Editor and navigate to the following key.

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

  In the right window, look at the Shell value.

  This value should show Explorer.exe and nothuing else.

  If it shows than anything else, right-click the Shell value and select modify.

  Delete everything in the value data area except  Explorer.exe.

  Click OK.

  If you have made any changes, restart and test the results.

  NOTE: Make sure that you do not delete the Explorer.exe in the value of the hull, since it is responsible for displaying the interface of windows when you start the computer.

  If it does not, when you start the computer and the desktop folder pops up, look at the path in the address bar to this folder. Click on an empty spot in the address bar and copy / paste this path into an answer here.

• Why my "library" of Windows 7 have a version of different file than my desktop folder?

  I just got a new computer with windows 7.  Yet to get used to 'libraries' and encounter something special.  I thought that a 'library' simply compiled similar files in one place.  However, this is what happens...  I have a "record" titled "marketing files.  In this folder is a Word file.  When I transferred my old windows XP files in my new computer with windows 7, these old files in my library of documents showed.  Pretty easy.  However, I've since updated this Word file in particular.  The desktop 'marketing files' folder and now have the new file, but my 'library' is still ad the old file.

  I can't ignore the 'library' files work locally on my desk.  However, many times I need to download files over the internet, like through Hotmail to send a file to someone.  When trying to download files, Windows ONLY allows me to look in a library folder.  Interestingly, 'office' is a location option "upload of ' as the 'library', but even when I click on"office"he still that shows me the files in my library, not my location on the desktop.  I have a 'marketing files' folder shortcut on my desktop which has all of my correct files, I see what I want, when I click on the shortcut on the desktop, but they are not accessible when you try to download via an internet service.  So the only way to download the latest version of a file is to download it from my 'recent documents' location.

  Even confusing, I downloaded some graphics of the internet in my folder "files of marketing."  These graphs are now sitting in my "marketing files" file library, but not my desktop folder "files of marketing."

  The library doesn't seem to be sharing with office files, and so I'm stuck having to constantly look for two different places to see who has the most recent file.  And when downloading files via a web service, make sure that the file is in my 'recent documents' folder, otherwise it cannot be accessed.

  Is it possible to disable "libraries", I was perfectly satisfied with the way that XP has me allowed to store files and make for easy retrieval, 1 step.  Libraries, just confuses everything.

  Thank you for your help,

  David

  The Desktop\Marketing Files folder is going to be a different location for the Libraries\Documents\Marketing file.

  It can be a bit confusing because of the mixture of hard and soft links. Also pay attention to how you access the folders in the library, they can be moved. By default, they would be C:\Users\username , but the safest is to view a list of profile folder.

  Click the Start button, click the username at the top right. This opens a window with all the profile folders in a single view. If you right-click on the Documents folder and display them properties on the general tab displays the physical location. However, you will also see a location tab that allows you to move the folder you want. The advantage of using this way to display the folder is even if you then move that file to another drive for example profile view will list always the folder where C:\Users\username will not.

  A library folder may also contain files from other parts of the car. Click the library icon then right click the Documents icon and you can add the directory Desktop\Marketing files to the document library.

• [SOLVED] Optical drive empty missing in Windows Explorer, but not in the folder of the computer or Device Manager. Windows 7 x 64 HP Pavilion dv6-3032tx

  The problem: the optical drive [cd/dvd burner] icon is missing in Windows Explorer when no media inserted in the drive. Even if the optical drive icon in Windows Explorer when a disc is inserted in the drive.

  However, the optical drive appears in 'Device Manager' and in 'Computer' folder or no media is inserted in the reader as to the latter.  This doesn't seem to be a hardware problem.  It is a Windows 7 problem [or character?], which seems to be set [or omitted] in Windows 8.

  Here are the step by step process to solve this problem:

  1. open Windows Explorer [click on "Start" and type "Windows Explorer" in the search box, then click on the first result to the Summit, which is "Windows Explorer"]
  2. in Windows Explorer, click on "Organize" (top left of the window).
  3. in the click from the drop-down list 'folder and search options '.
  4. at the bottom of the window that comes up, under the "Navigation" tick to choose 'show all files '.

  I need to do this every time I have to reinstall Windows 7 x 64 Home Premium on my HP Pavilion dv6-3032tx laptop.

  I hope this helps someone. Wellness wish all

• Creative Cloud Desktop folder right click on the missing file Options

  Hello

  My creative Cloud DESKTOP folder does not properly since last week.  I've already lost nearly 3 hours with tech support. Share my screen and try different things.   I think that the Tech Guy was incompetent. He didn't get that question and just kept trying the same things again and again for 3 hours.

  
  MY FILES SYNCHRONIZE PROPERLY. THERES NO PROBLEM WITH THE SYNC.  If I drag files into the creative cloud desktop folder. They synchronize correctly in the cloud.   I can access it online without problems.

  The question that I'm going to do with the actual file.  It does not appear to be installed / working properly.   Here is a picture of the help of the Adobe site.  (Creative cloud help |) Collaborate on files and libraries)

  

  1. notice how at the bottom left of each file / folder inside the creative cloud files folder theres a GREEN check MARK (this changes depending on the status of the file).
  2. note also when the file's right-click theres only a 'CREATIVE CLOUD"drop-down Menu with Options for display on the Web site, work together.  Sendlink etc...

  Until last week, My Creative cloud file was EXACTLY the SAME! works perfectly well.   I think that since the new update CC that he stopped doing this.

  Here is a screenshot of MY Creative Cloud Files folder

  

  1 Note how I don't have these icons of green check mark at the bottom left of each file/folder indicating the status of the folder/files.  (YES THE FILES ARE SYNCHRONIZED ILS SHOWS upward on THE site WEB SERVER even if I do not see the controls on the files...)

  2. you can not see in the screenshot, but if I right click on a file/folder I DO NOT have the CLOUD CREATIVE drop-down list, giving me the possibility to send a link, view site etc...

  As I said I've already spent nearly three hours with an incompetent tech guy. He just kept removing .db files, delete the coresync folder, make me Logout / I leave CC etc... for 3 hours.    After two hours, he said he had no problem and had to reexplain him the question...   A bit frustrating really.      Yes, I restarted computer several times. This does not solve the problem.

  I'm on a Pc with Windows 8.1.
  Run the latest version of creative cloud.
  my number is 0186758070

  I hope that this problem can be solved.  It was very convenient for me to click right files and send the link directly. rather than go on the website cloud server and share the link!

  Thank you

  Hi Sgtfrog83:

  Thank you very much for letting us know that your issue has been resolved after reinstalls creative cloud.  The problem is caused by Windows Explorer integration, and there are at least three applications to sync with similar integration methods and that can cause install conflicts.

  Best regards.

• The search box is missing in Windows Explorer and the search is not available from the Start button on the desktop

  I want to search my hard drive for a file.

  I open explore and there is no search box, or all the options to search.

  I click Start.  There is no box that allows me to type in the name, I'm looking for.

  Any suggestions on what setting or service may be disabled or stopped which disables the search options?

  Hi jhblzk.  The name of the service is Windows Search, but even if it has been disabled, you should always see the box "search programs and files".  No harm to check though.  Press the Windows key and r on your keyboard and type:

  services.msc

  and click OK.  Scroll down the page until you find and make sure that the startup type is set to automatic (delayed start) and the service status is started.  If this is not the case, click on start and OK your change.

  If the service does not exist, go to programs and features in Control Panel and click on "turn Windows features turn on or off.  Scroll down and check Windows Search.  OK, your changes and restart.  The search box appears when you click Start now?

• missing in Windows 7 desktop calendar.

  I was counting a lot on Windows desktop calendar that I had with Vista.  My current computer runs on Windows 7, which doesn't seem to have a Windows desktop calendar.  Is there a download available Windows that provides an interactive desktop calendar, or one that can be downloaded for free from another reliable source?

  There is a calendar gadget, if that's what you're looking for.  Just right click on an empty space on the right side of your screen and click gadgets.  On the desktop, and then drag the calendar.

  Windows Live Mail has a calendar.

  And if you click on the digital clock in the lower right corner of your screen, you'll see a calendar there as well.

  I hope this helps.  Good luck.

• files and folders in the windows.old folder missing

  Recently, I updated my windows 8. (a day and a half)

  Today I was moving the content in the folder windows.old to the other locations, (4 ~ 5 h ago)

  Suddenly, after the computer has restarted, the content in the windows.old folder disappeared except for users and windows folders.

  I copy the files from windows.old/Program files and I don't know that I do not delete the folder by myself.

  I read previous posting on similar problems, but that's because they kept their too long files or their disk space was not enough.

  But I have enough space in my C drive and just refreshed 1 ~ 2 days ago.

  I did not drive or any cleaning that is.

  It is unreasonable to a system to remove the backup files after a few days without noticing.

  Please let me know how to solve this problem and to recover these files.

  There are a lot of files in the previous program files, I need to recover the precious.

  Hi Junwhan,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I can understand the importance of data could be in the Windows.old folder and we regret the inconvenience.

  Yes, Windows 8 has a new timer feature which will automatically delete Windows.old files after a period of 4 weeks since the upgrade. The idea is to avoid the waste of space giving you plenty of time to get what you need out of the folder and delete those that sit for months or even years.

  Since it's just been 1-2 days of update process, you can activate the "hidden objects" to see if the Windows.old files appear.

  As you open the file Explorer, click view and check the hidden items

  In addition, if you use third-party antivirus program control the log of activities see if there is any action taken at the time where the files have disappeared.  Most of the antivirus program automatically deletes the default files. You can change these settings, however, it is not recommended.

  If you use the default, Windows Defender (WD) on Windows 8.1 then WD has real-time analysis allow by default. Refer to this link: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/protect/wiki/protect_defender-protect_start/windows-defender-on-windows-8-introduction-and/f1e00106-6687-4efe-9ec0-ed9f72fabb92

  Check the history of Windows Defender:

  1. Type of user interface modern Windows defender.

  2. Click Windows Defender.

  3. Click the history tab, and then click Details.

  4. Check Date and time if you find any virus.

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

• Logo of Firefox missing on the desktop, another coming from the reboot took his place

  Firefoxlogo missing and I could use not all Forefox.
  Initially I not could find and tried to reinnstall.
  He says I did, I would choose the old or new. New.
  The exe was innstalled and clicking that it restarted the series - twice.
  I tried to uninnstall Firefox.
  After that, I could see her, or a long series of object unimpossible to uninnstall.
  Once a Ponte 8 - symbol was there on innstallingpage who disappeared, I never clicked it.
  The symbol of the exe was on my desk.
  It took me a veil to remove.
  Your instructions are all of this and, as I had the possibility using Firefox, I don't have.
  I can't use it at all.

  Hi datauspesialist. I'll have following disorder in the description of your problem, so I'm really not sure what the problem is that you need help with. You say that a Firefox logo is missing on the desktop - that sounds to me like Firefox is not installed on your computer.

  You are using Windows XP? Vista? Mac OS? Did you follow the instructions step by step to install Firefox (for example https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-mac or https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-windows)?

  BTW, feel free to react in Norwegian. I noticed in the other information you have submitted you're probably from the Norway. (I'm Swedish, so I'll be able to understand better this way.)
