Cannot add a folder to the list of shared folders

I am in the Prefs system - Sharing - sharing files and when I click on "Add" and choose a folder in my user profile, as 'Documents', and click 'Add', nothing happens.  The file is not added to the list.

Any ideas?

I forgot to add, it's El Capitan v10.11.1

  • Home network not working not not because of 'ComputerName' not in the list of shared folders.

    My simple home network of 2 PCs with XP, SP3 and a Netgear WNDR3700 router was working fine. I changed ISP and now cannot get the home network to the top. Run the home networking on every PC wizard implements the internal IP of 192.168.1.1 for the router and 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3 for 2 PCs. Shared folders and files appear to be configured correctly and successfully, I can ping the router and the other PC from each PC. After the Microsoft troubleshooting procedure, everything is good until I get to the stage where the "ComputerName" must appear in the list of shared folders in computer management, System Tools, shared folders, shares. All other devices and shared folders appear correctly on each PC. It is about the last step in troubleshooting, but I can't in front of her. What can I do? Or is the wrong thing? I'm almost to the point of thinking there is something in the registry (added with my ISP change process) that stop working. Help!

    In general, it is due to a firewall, in which case advice Jack will help.  In addition, there are a condition [rare] where the Type of a computer node becomes defined 'Counterparts' or 'P Pei' that will stop the communications between computers.  Bring up a command prompt (start-> Run-> "cmd") and enter the command:
    ipconfig/all
    If the 'Type of node' line presents itself as "Peer-Peer" or "Pp" or type "P", ("Broadcasting", "Mixed" and "Hybrids" are OK) then check out the following article:

  • V9.0.1 FF and Zonealarm free 10.1.079.000 - cannot add Firefox.exe in the list of Application control settings (it keeps disappearing)

    I just rebuilt my XP SP3 desktop from scratch, so it's a pretty lean, clean machine right now (have all relocated apps yet). Updates are ongoing as of early this am.

    I installed FF v9.0.1 and free Zonealarm 10.1.079.000, who I thought were supposed to be compatible. However, when I try to add FF to the list of Application control settings, weirdness follows. I can add it, I can configure it... and then when I get back a few moments later, Firefox is no longer in the list of applications. Repeatedly, he disappears. I try to be pretty serious about security, and gives me a Benin urticaria cases.

    This is not expected behavior based on experience several years of using these two programs. But I must admit, these two versions are new to me, if anyone has any clues what / why / that's why?

    Thanks in advance.

    This lists me as having a response. I don't see the answer... Is it because I've re-edited my question a few moments after I posted it?

    ===============================
    If a music file Movie Maker crashes
    in a format that is not compatible. If you convert
    the file to the format of .wma before importing, you
    can have a better result.

    The converter below might be helpful to try:

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    Format Factory

    (FWIW... you can uncheck
    all the boxes on the last screen)

    After downloading and installing Format Factory...
    Open the program and choose an output folder...
    (this is where you will find your files when they are
    converted)

    Drag and drop your audio clips on the main screen...

    Select "while"WMA"/ OK...

    Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

    That should do it...

  • "You cannot add this location to the gallery.

    Windows Photo Gallery doesn't let me add pictures to the gallery. All images are currently in the folder 'Picture' and are 95% of the .jpg files, some are .pspimage files (Paint Shop Pro) the exact wording is: "You cannot add this location to the Gallery" this folder or one of its parent folders is considered a system folder or is considered as a system folder or marked as hidden. Its recommended that you move your pictures in the pictures folder or to a different folder.

    And can you tell me the difference between the Windows Gallery and Windows Live Gallery? (Incidentally, my photos appear in the Gallery Live.)

  • Add a folder to the taskbar

    Very simple?

    In Windows 2000, you can add a folder to the taskbar.

    Windows 7 will make documents, programs.  I most often use folders and go from there.  I'm not interested in cluttering up my desktop or Explorer (it takes several steps to access the folder and defeats the purpose of the taskbar - one click).  If it is not possible to be, but it would be efficient to have once again the files in my task bar.

    Thanks in advance for any help

    If you have Explorer pinned to the taskbar, you can PIN a folder to the taskbar icon.


    Figure 1.0 - Pin to Windows Explorer

    Drag a folder on taskbar icon and release when you see the hot tip of the Pin to Windows Explorer . Then click the right button on the Explorer icon will display a list of PIN locations for direct access.

  • Toolbar Yahoo appeared without my consent. Can't get rid of it. Does not appear in the list of Add-ons or in the list of the programs installed for uninstall. (Win7; (FFx5) Please help me remove this annoyance.)

    I was asked to update Java. I had a YAHOO toolbar I made and do not want to. I can't get rid of it. It does not appear on the list of Add-ons, not in the list of programs (for uninstall). Could not find anything with Yahoo in the name. I don't want to use the view, as he returns to the display without my consent - I want not gone permanently.

    The Yahoo uninstall instructions help call for, click on the pencil tool (which tool is not found on this toolbar). Firefox instructions say go to the list of Add-ons, but the Yahoo bar is not there. There are several modules of Java, but I don't know what they are and what happens if they are uninstalled.

    Win 7; Firefox 5.0. Yahoo toolbar worm 2.3.8.20110620112826

    Maybe he is disguised as something else. If so please tell me what you need to uninstall.

    Open Firefox-> go in the Menu Tools-> Add-ons-> Extension section-> remove any add-on suspicious you-> restart Firefox

    If above solution doesn't work, try the following.

    Open Firefox-> go to Menu view-> toolbars-> UNCHECK any suspicious entry toolbar.

    Check if it works.

  • Cannot add child account to the parental control

    No matter how many times I add my child account to watch safely from the family, it does not work. The account appears in the list of monitored accounts and has the correct options I selected via the Family Safety however website when my child connects his account said "this account is not monitored by parental control.

    I deleted the computer AND the child of the Family Safety options site. I uninstalled and reinstalled parental control over the child's laptop computer but the account is STILL without oversight and shows via the control panel in Windows 7.

    When I log on the site of Family Safety on that account child watch the monitored account as 'white' "computername" when "in white" should be the account on the laptop.

    I am a computer professional and cannot understand it. What other options do I have?

    ANSWER FOUND!

    I found the answer on a long search of these forums...

    I had this problem because the computer name was the same as the name of my child's account. I changed the name of the computer to another one of his account on the computer and I was able to successfully activate Parental controls through parental controls on the computer.

  • Cannot add a folder of music to media player or media center.

    When I try to add a folder of music for windows 8 media center, it isn't search pieces and does not add the file. When I return, I see no folder added to all and no music in the library. He guides me through the dialog box, find the folder, begins searching, and then ends quickly.

    I found what was wrong. When I opened my libraries, the folders listed as documents, photos, videos, and music get a message indicating that I could remove them. Once I did, the addition of files worked fine. Don't know what that was the interaction, but the fact that these records were not valid seemed to cause the problem but no message came from Media Center itself.
