bug in cmd shell (rmdir) rd, removes even when you say n

RD or rmdir deletes incorrectly directories trees, even when you say you don't want.

I wanted to actually a moment hold data below for the work I was doing, but it's too late now.  RD trashed directories when I told him not to do it, both times when he asked.  Take a look at the results:

I bet that this bug exists in future versions of windows as well...

    -------------------------------------------------

    Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
    launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
    reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leave the file system, Web,.
    Operational network (Script and behavior are also recommended in Ver 6 +).

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
    right of IE)

    Two versions of Avast are available 6.x and 4.8 x

    Avast - home - free - 6.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
    Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
    Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
    Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
    disabled - click OK
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

    Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
    and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
    Finish those you don't use).
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

    Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - Home - free - small, fast, exceptional CLOUD protection, working with the other security
    programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here or
    Use Google to see how to remove.
    http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
    http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp?prevx=Y   <-->

    PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
    would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
    (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
    never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

    OK, so last night, my computer was freezing up so I held the power button down to turn off, I turned it back and he asks me if I want to start in safe or just normally.  I chose because it starts as usual, it's just sitting there, it goes through the motions as it will start but it never does, I went to sleep woke up to the top and all I have is a black screen with mouse pointer again, nothing has changed, the same things happen when I try to start it in safe mode.  I tried to get the disks it is came up with, but the computer seems to not even acknowledge that they were never inserted, I don't know what to do, can anyone help me, I'm sitting here on the laptop of my bf and I am interested in this black screen with the pointer of the mouse in the Middle, I don't know what to do...

    Hello

    You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If yes you can try Control Panel - device
    Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - then right click
    on devices and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

    Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure)
    CTRL + ALT + DELETE and on the tab process EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - then
    on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is reached
    by tapping F8 as you start several times.

  • Autonumbering occurs even when you press F11

    Hello

    We develop a form in which we have 2 blocks of data. These two data blocks share the relationship of the master / detail. The detail is block a record multi.
    We are auto numbering of an element < line_number > in the block in detail following the steps mentioned in the metalink [33342.1 ID]
    https://support.Oracle.com/epmos/faces/UI/km/SearchDocDisplay.JSPX?_afrLoop=130989808463426 & Recommended = true & type = document & ID = 33342.1 & _afrWindowMode = 0 & _adf. CTRL-State = ud1uneota_69

    The steps mentioned in the link generate numbers automatically when a new record is created and resequences the line numbers when a record is deleted. It works very well in these two scenarios.

    But we have two issues here:

    (1) line numbers get come from the same when we press F11 in block detail th. This should not happen in our form. (You must remove the auto numbering mode F11)
    (2) if move us to a new record in the block of retail, the line number to be generated there but if go back us to the previous record without enter anything in the new record, that the new record does not disappear. He remained there.

    Please let us know how the above two questions can be resolved

    TIA
    -SR

    Hello.

    From what I've seen on metalink note, it is the expected behavior. The first problem is so simply to resolve, simply call: SYSTEM. Function MODE and if its result is ENTER-QUERY then do nothing are (do not call the routine renumbering). Regarding the second issue, there is a simple solution if your business logic can accept it. You could make one child block required. This way a user could not walk away from this record without deleting everything first. If this solution is not applicable to you, then you will need to manually program for this situation logic.

    Best regards.

    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. You will have to perhaps restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).

    Then perform the following steps:

    1. Click the menu button

      and select Options

    2. In the window of Firefox Options (or preferences), click on the Advanced tab, and then select general.
    3. You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
    4. Now restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

    In addition, please check the updates for your graphics driver by following the steps in the following knowledge base article:

  • NCAA games go to bad audio device, even when I say o/s otherwise. How to replace Firefox?

    I guess that's a FF issue, since everything else seems to work OK. I have a USB headset plugged into the USB hub under my desk. I use the properties of the Audio devices > Audio in the control panel (XP Pro) to switch between the headphones and speakers of the laptop.

    The problem is that I can't sound through Laptop speakers playing games via Firefox NCAA without unplugging the USB headset physically. I hate to crawl under my desk to do it. If I tell the OS what speakers to use, do not change it. I should be able to force audio to speakers for computer without physically disconnect them. I use my laptop to a large number of web conversations with my helmet, but I don't want to physically disconnect when I what to listen without headphones.

    No sooner had I posted my complaint that I discovered that other applications have the same problem, although I said otherwise. And FF works fine if the USB headset is activated as the device by default until I start FF (or tab maybe the FF). Maybe the 'problem' is the operating system, if it does not notify a change of aircraft FF. Or, maybe the problem is FF, if it does not acknowledge the notification from the OS.

    In any case, I now have a work-around that seems compatible with other applications on Windows. However, any other ideas would be appreciated always. I think that changing the operating system's audio playback device must notify immediately and performed by all applications using the headphones/speakers/whatever, regardless of when the application started.
