Cannot copy files and folders to another folder
Whenever I try to COPY a group of files and folders 1 folder to another folder, Vista wants only to allow me to MOVE them. What is my problem?
Select the files to copy (using the command CTRL to select more than one non sequential order) and once they are all chosen type CTRL-C. Then move to the folder where you want to copy and click header file and type CTRL-V. Perhaps this method of copying files won't work where others do not.
I hope this helps.
Good luck! Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

I'm unable to open files and folders, they show with green text
I was running windows vista and pc is dead. I formatted the Windows 7 pc and managed to restore a large number of my documents but anyway (I have no idea how) some of my documents & records seem to have become encrypted. They appear in green in the list of folders, and many of them seem to have the attributes "AE". I tried everything to decrypt, but nothing seems to work. Can some one guide to remove encryption
I don't know why a folder or a file would suddenly become encrypted.
However if a website could tell you how to decipher it, what good encryption would be.
What happens when you double-click one of the folders or files?
If the files are encrypted, really, I don't think he has that you can do without the key.

Unable to find files and folders using Windows Search
Original title: Windows search returns no results, but only for a single user - another user works very well - Windows 7
All of a sudden windows search of files and folders (from windows Explorer) do not return results - even if I'm looking for in a folder with a file name that I know is in there. However, it works for the other user on this system.
The things that I tried or looked at who did not work:
- Configuration of the default folder options.
- reconstruction of the index
- sfc/scannow - said "windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to solve some of them. I have the CBS. If necessary log file.
- research done that windows has been archived 'Tour of the windows features turn on or off.
- Ran the registry of Windows Search - he said that he fixed two things (cannot tell you what they were now), but still, it does not solve the problem. When I run it says once again that there are no errors.
- I checked this registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvanced\\\ and key Start_SearchFiles - which was set to 2, the default - Under Customize Start Menu - search with public folders is selected under search for other files and libraries.
It still does not work. The search box in the start menu seems to work, but not for anything I get.
Frustrated!

You mean that other users do not have their own user accounts?
They all connect to your own account?If they all have their own user account to log on, they can't see your personal files, unless...
1. your files in public folders.
2. they have your password to login to your own account.So, please clarify.

Basically, you need to restore default file Associations.
When you double-click a. EXE file, the program may not start, instead, it can open in Notepad
(view the contents of .exe), or you can jump into any other application.

Cannot change show Hidden files and folders option, continues to come back to hidden
Original title: activate the hidden files and folders. -Registry problem! Windows 7
I had a meeting with a virus, which had a game with my registry so that I cannot view hidden files and folders. Whenever I click on "View files and folders hodden" and then click on folder options, it is by default to "do not show hidden folders and files". I've been browsing around, find people who give advice and I have seen some changes, but it STILL keep diverting back to do not show.
I am running Windows 7 Profesional x 64
There are a few default values and checked in 2 subfolders in the shadow folder.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden
Any help from people who know a little more about the registry that I do, would be greatly apprechiated.
Thank you.
Nick.
P.S. is there a tool to repair/reinstall just a specific part of the registry? aka. Replace the folder hidden by default?
Hi Nicolas,.Try these steps and check the result.
Step 1: Check if the following registry value exists.
a. Click Start, type regedit and press to enter.
b. look for the following registry:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\
Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL
c. click the SHOWALL folder in the left pane and check if the CheckedValue element is present in the right pane and if the value set on this is 1.
d. If CheckedValue element is missing in the right pane, and then right-click in the empty area in the right pane, click New-> click on the DWORD (32 bit) If your computer is running 32-bit Windows, 64-bit by clicking another value.
e. name the item that you created as CheckedValue.
f. double-click CheckedValue element and type 1 in the value data box, and then click ok.
g. close the registry editor and restart the computer.
h. turn on hidden files and folders to see if it works.Important: Modifying the registry incorrectly will cause serious damage to the computer. Back up the registry until you make changes.Step 2: Online virus scanner and check the result
a. visit the Scan of viruses online
b. click full service scan and complete the scan.
c. restart the computer once the analysis is complete.Kind regards

Cannot add or remove files and folders to my favorites
Since I transferred my favorites from my old computer to my new computer, I can't add new files in the folders I had, or remove files or files that were in the list. If I use the option "Organize Favorites" to delete a file, I get a dialog box titled "file Access Denied".
However, I have no trouble to add new folders or files to my favorites. I also found that I can move the files from the old list of my favorites in a new folder, but to do this, I first get a dialog box titled "File Access Denied", saying: "you will need administrative permission to move this file. In this box, there is an option to 'continue '. When I click on 'Continue', I get another dialog box titled 'User Account Control' saying ' you want the following program to make changes to this computer? When I click on 'Yes', the file is moved to the new folder. This is all very frustrating. Hope you have a solution for me.
I have Windows 7.
Thank you
Mary
