"Cannot find this item" error when renaming files

I have two Windows 7 x 64 machines which were normally front of patches from Windows Update Tuesday.

After the patches I started having problems with computers, and now when I try to rename or move a file I get the error:

This item is not found
This is more in [path of the Director].  Check the location of the item and try again.

A PC has six discs in and the other has two discs and I get this error when changing the name/move folders on any of the eight discs.  I tried to connect several different external drives and rename/move files on them, but I get the same error.  It seems to be a large problem system rather than the corruption of the disks.

It seems that this bug has been around for many years, and the patches Tuesday appear to have triggered it in my two PC.  I've seen a lot of solutions proposed online but nothing worked for me.

Someone knows how to fix this?

I finally found a solution that works here:

http://www.techjawa.com/2010/05/01/guide-fix-Windows-folder-renaming-could-not-find-this-item/

Looks like Windows Update has been trigger this bug for a while.  Would be nice if Microsoft would fix it.

  • Impossible to rename files in Windows 7 "cannot find this item.

    Since the last batch of updates of Windows 7 (KB915597, KB3179573, KB3115475, KB3177723 and KB915597), suddenly I am completely impossible to rename the folders, even newly created. When I try, I'm greeted by an error message indicating:

    "Cannot find this article.

    It is no longer in [location of the folder]. Check the location of the item and try again. »

    I clearly see that the file has not changed, and hit the "Try" button again makes the error message disappears for a split second before returning again.

    I am sure that no recent updates is responsible and this uninstallation of the update should solve the problem, but I don't know enough about them to 99.99969999503% (or how exactly the origin of the problem) to determine what. No one knows that one is?

    Also have a related problem about MS Maliciouws software removal tool. For download, but read in the KB that: in XP, the vacuum cleaner will remove the malware, but doing so may trigger the File Protection Win with damages to my operating system.  the tool will attempt to repair the damage, but to rehabilitate prior to infection, that I need to insert the CD of Win. As my computer came with Windows preinstalled, I do not have a disk and will not take the risk of damage, that I can't fix. Do I not download or not... ? Another solution... ?  I also fear that this tool could settle into the routine Win Update and need guidance on the prevention of this facility, if possible, or what to do if it cannot be prevented.

    It can have nothing to do with any of the foregoing. " I'm relaying only because it occurred during the same mission of update: had msg of error that Win Firewall has not been set as a default, which reset, but found this hidden file when searching for the Protection of the customer: "Win 32/Hackdef' - it was a config with the extension ini file and was deleted by Scan."

    ·         You have Microsoft Security Essentials on your computer?

    If you have windows installed on your computer security essentials, then you will not be able to install Windows defender. Windows Security Essentials has antispyware component installed.

    You get the error because you have installed MS Security Essentials, which has its own function to antimalware. You don't need or want to install Windows Defender, too. Leave MS Security Essentials installed and do not turn it off.

  • Cannot delete the file. Says "not not found could not find this item check the location of this object and try again."

    Cannot delete the file.  Says "not not found could not find this item check the location of this object and try again."

    I got this file from my friend got sent - is a word document, I had on their computer.  So I tried to use Disk Cleanup to delete temporary files, temporary internet files and files program downloaded.  Does not work.

    When I check the properties, there is no security tab so I can't transfer ownership in this way.

    I don't want to experiment using the way of the transfer of ownership command prompt as the name of the file is several sentences long.  I can't rename it either, of course.

    Windows 7, a week and I already have a stupid problem which has already lost an hour of my time.

    What I did was to create a Notepad file that was empty and saved in the same location as the file that won't go away.  Once registered.  I click with the right button on the new file and rename the exact name as the file problem.  Don't forget to change the file extension (ex: .doc)

    ex file problem: word.doc

    new file: word.doc

    as long as they match eachother exactly you should see the file problem disappear and once that's gone, you can delete the new file created.

  • Flash the disk errors "cannot find this point, located more in the computer.

    OK, I'm trying to copy a file to a flash drive.  It crashes when you try to copy and then gives me the error message "cannot find this point, located more in the computer.

    I tried to drag and drop several different files and file types, and I get the same error message.

    I tried several different flash drives and I get the same message. All flash drives that I tried on this computer work on other computers and I can drag and drop files on the flash drive.

    I've tried several different USB ports on my computer and I still get this message.

    Thus, the issue is not with my flash drive or the files I'm trying to copy because I tried several types of files and several different flash drives. I deleted the USB driver and reinstalled with no resolution.

  • Cannot find the specified device, path, or file. May not be the appropriate permissions for access you.

    Hey everybody,

    I was running Windows vista professional for more than 2 years yesterday, I formatted my hard drive and reinstalled vista prof. (entirely new, different CD key). Everything works very well excenp for one thing - I had saved some of the programs and files on my external hardrive before formatting my laptop. Now, when I try to access these files I get the following msg-"cannot find the specified device, path, or file." You don't have permission to access them. ".
    I am logged in as administrator.

    Help, please. I reallly need the files.

    Any help would be appreciated.
             

    Hey Jihirshu,

    It looks like permissions.

    Try this on one of the files on the disk to see if it allows you to copy the files.

    1 right click on the file, then select Properties
    2. click on the Security tab
    3. click on change, in the name box, type "Everyone".
    4. in the boxes next to the permissions below, put 'Total control' for everyone
    5. click OK, and then close the dialog boxes
    6. try to copy the file that you just modified.

    If the works above, you must change the permissions on all the files you want to copy.  Normally, you can just highlight all the and follow the steps above to change the permissions on all files at the same time.

    I hope this helps if you find my answer was what you are looking for, please do not forget to click on the box "mark as answer" below!
