cannot find the folder "program data".

original title: New Data - Program for Windows 7

I just bought a new computer with windows 7.  I am trying to install programs, for example, installing a program to C:\program data\Quantum.  I go to 'my computer' and can not find the folder "program data".  Is it possible that windows is hide it?

Sandy

Hi Sandy

The program data file replaced the all users in previous versions of Windows.

Open Windows Explorer. Click on organize / folders and Search Options / View tab.

Select the option Show hidden files, folders and drives, and then click apply/OK.

Navigate to C:\Users. In this folder, you will see a folder named all users with a shortcut arrow or the layering of padlock. It is a symlink pointing to the ProgramData folder. Right-click on the folder and select properties to see this data.

Your programs are not currently installed just for the ProgramData folder. This folder is used to allow any user (for all users) access to an installed program that allows any user to operate this program.

Many times, when you install a program, you will see an option to install the program for the current user only, or to install for all users.

Another way, you can see it is to click on the Start button, right-click on all programs, and select open all users. This will open Windows Explorer to the

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu folder.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

  • Cannot find the folder to import?

    Hey,.

    I tried to import a complete record of the television series and the movie I had on my old library iTunes from another PC. But when I import the file after loading nothing to happen. I pick up on communities, but it seems that it was never answer so I'll see if someone who is activity now knows what is happening and how to solve the problem. If you need information just ask. Thank you!

    Video files that are imported into iTunes can be presented in movies > Home Videos. If you can locate them here then you can change the media type. Is there a reason that iTunes does not like the format of the files, then there will be no error message when you try to import them. Falls copies in the automatically add to iTunes folder. Everything that iTunes rejects will be moved into a folder that is not added. You will not know the reason, but you will know at least for some iTunes is rejecting the media rather than ignorant.

  • Satellite A300-247 cannot find the folder of HARD disk recovery

    Hello
    I tried to reinstall my Vista home premium on my Satellite A300-247. I have buit - in the OS. I did it axactly according to manual (reboot - F8 - repair your computer-...) When I clicked on Toshiba HDD recovery system recovery tools wrote me this:

    "the recovery of the operating system is impossible
    File recovery HARD drive on the second disc of the first hard drive not found.
    There is no environment recovery valid HARD drive on this computer. "

    I would like to ask what do I do reistall my OS. I have no disk with OS and backup disc creation tool does not work.
    Y at - it an option to get my OS on DVD from Microsoft or Toshiba?
    If I use this tool to reinstall the OS, I will loss all the information on the D drive (Vista is on the C drive)

    Thanks for the reply

    Hello

    Seems that drive HARD recovery does not work.
    Perhaps something has changed on the recovery of HARD drive partition or recovery files has been deleted

    Usually it s always advisable to create a recovery disk in a first time. This should be done at the beginning and this recovery disk is always useful if something would go wrong with drive recovery HARD or with HARD drive

    Now, you can't get the phone because you don t have this drive and the HARD drive does not work

    What to do?
    Well, I think that you would need new control disc.
    You can do so here:

  • [HELP] I/o Error: Cannot run program "jar": CreateProcess = 2 error, the system cannot find the file specified

    Hi, I'm new developer on the Blackberry platform.

    I make the first application, but there is a problem when I wanted to install in the Simulator.

    My application has several screen and each take the server data, analyzing the data and displays on the screen.

    My problem is any executable thread.

    When I'm using the code below, it is fine. My application can work perfectly on a simulator.

    public TestingScreen() {
       // Runnable thread = new Runnable(){
       //   public void run() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            // my code get data from server
            Dialog.alert("Hii");
       //   }
       //};
       //new Thread(run).start();
    }
    

    but, if you use floor area or UiApplication.getUiApplication (.invokeLater), I got error "i/o Error: cannot run program"jar": CreateProcess = 2 error, the system cannot find the file specified"

    public TestingScreen() {
       Runnable thread = new Runnable(){
          public void run() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            // my code get data from server
            Dialog.alert("Hii");
          }
       };
       new Thread(run).start();
    }
    

    I have the 11 screen and all have executable statement and works perfectly. Can run in the Simulator, can get data from the server. But when I create the new #12 screen (copy paste other on-screen), page couldn't use an executable statement. Each I use Runnable/thread, I got error. But when I remove an executable statement my work normally requires.

    I already have Google but I do not get the answer.

    Please advice. Thank you very much.

    Kind regards.

    If you remember the name of the file or the folder that you saved the files, you can use the search start, and search the files. See the link below: find a file or folder: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Find-a-file-or-folder
