Cannot remove 2 empty folders in "my pictures". Said 'Read only', so they are not accessible, but if I uncheck this, there always reappears (the box is totally green) after she is unable to delete.

  • You have problems with programs

  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

Believe, otherwise, the 'Read only' attribute has nothing to do with 'read only' for folders in Windows XP.  It actually refers to a custom folder.  To change the access permissions, you must right-click on a folder, select 'Properties', then select the security"" tab.  If you do not have a Security tab, it's either because you have XP Pro and 'Simple file sharing' enabled, or you have XP Home, and you are not an administrator mode without failure.  The following items should enlighten you...

"You can not view or change the read-only or the attributes of system files in Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7"

"How to disable the file sharing simple and how to set permissions on a shared folder in Windows XP"

The command "attrib" in a command window can be useful or, Alternatively, you can use the 'cacls' command in a command window, but it's ugly.

  • Cannot remove an empty file in my pictures

    I just went to remove a folder in images, it took on many issues with it. I was able to get them all back. I didn't know I could move everything from my hard drive and started doing them one by one. If new folders have been created. Before moving one of them, I created a folder (August 2013 photo work) and copied and pasted as I remember or trained. Entered it a folder, I don't create but has been named for the folder. Instead of going in my list, he crossed the top of the page. I opened the file and all the images that have been moved to the folder that I wanted them. It wasn't a problem, but I can't delete empty folders that are in the upper part. I had this problem with a file once before and done a search on Google and was able to remove the folders, but I can't find the answer again. Can you help me? I did a screen capture, but do not see a place to include it here!

    I fixed it, all I had to do was go on my drive hard GB of photos click on pictures and then a little marker for lack of a better word next to the folder and who opened a long list at the bottom of the list were 4 files, I wanted to remove I have a right click and of course , there was a button Delete and they are gone! I am so happy!!! Thanks for getting back to me so soon :)

    Please do * not * leave the text above in a question to ask you. Delete it.
    It has nothing to do with your question. And please ask your question
    in the body of the message, not in the title.
     
    How to get deleted? If you remove them normally, they must be
    in the trash. If they are not, read point 1 below (but also pay
    Special notice to the point 2):
     
    1. "deleting" a file does not actually delete it just marks the
    available space be used. There are third-party programs that can
    sometimes recover deleted files. The problem is that the space used by
    the file is likely to be replaced very quickly, and it makes
    the unrecoverable file.
     
    So your chances of successfully recovering these files are decent if
    you try to recover immediately after their deletion and quickly
    down from there. If you use the computer since
    (for example to read this answer and write that question), your
    chances may be very weak now.
     
    But if the file is large enough, it's still worth a try. Stop
    using the computer in question immediately, if you have not done
    already. Download an undelete program (and here's one:)
    others to choose from; Do a search) on a friend's computer and bring
    it to you on a floppy disk, CD or USB to try.
     
    If that fails, your only recourse is to bring or send the disc
    a company of professional file recovery. This kind of service is very
    expensive and may or may not work in your case.
     
    2. If you have files that are important to you, and you do not
    back them up regularly, you are playing with fire. It is not a question
    to know if you lose them, it's a question of * when *. You could

    If Yes, do you remember a "good date" when you could remove personal files?

    If Yes, please do a system restore.
    Choose this "good date" or before as your restore point.

    Words of past & favorite appeared to a new user who portable Mozilla on the same computer resinstalled (even after history, cookies etc. were deleted)

    Firefox would use a profile previously used folder if this user would use the same Windows account.
    It is always better to give each user their own Windows user account and protect your own account with a password if you are concerned about privacy issues.

    You can use the Profile Manager to delete all the files and the profile folder.

    IPad disabled with thousands of pictures of children that are not backed up with iTunes or icloud. Recommendations for the recovery of photos please?

    Sorry, but if your device is disabled and you have no backup, then you won't be able to save the data on the device:

    You should back up your device regularly to iCloud or import your photos to an application on your computer. Otherwise, you will be risking losing those photos. If your device has been lost, stolen, or crushed by your car, you'd be in the same situation. Really sorry for your photos.

    In general, the missing picture is hidden behind another picture on a page background that requires a picture with a layout at the front who has placed photos

    Check the bottom of the page on every page and you will probably find the problem

  • This playlist cannot be downloaded because it includes other types of media or songs that are not eligible.

    iCloud music library playlists can include music from your music library to iCloud. This playlist cannot be downloaded, because it includes other types of media or songs that are not eligible.

    What does that mean? I have iTunes game and not really encountered problems previously? I don't understand why I get this message? I'm just trying to create a playlist. Other playlists seem to be OK?

    Hello

    The playlist includes either a music file not for example PDF or a music file that is not eligible. Add iCloud status column to your playlist (view of the song) and it will tell you what is unacceptable.

  • When I receive attachments in my email address, they are stored successfully, but cannot be opened

    original title: storage and open attachments

    When I receive attachments in my email address, they are stored successfully, but cannot be opened.  Particularly frustrating with photos.  I get a message that the file is not supported or I don't have the last update for Windows Photo Gallery.  My computer is set to automatically download the updates, and it seems to work very well.

    The file extension is JPG

    Jpg is to be opened by the Windows Photo Gallery (or Gallery Windows Loive if you use Windows Live Mail).

    Please follow this:
    Click the Start button > click default programs > click on set default programs > (wait) > click Windows Photo Gallery. He said "this program has all its defaults"?
    If Yes, close the window.
    If not, click Choose defaults for this program. Put a check mark on any entries in the list WAS the box in front of jpg. > click on save when finished.

    Now, try to open your photos. It opens now?

  • Installed Sonic RecordNow DELETE. Ste 7.0, but the program says that my readers arwe set to 'off '. They are not. What's wrong?

    Program installed but starts it gives the error that my readers are set to disabled. (DUH!) My drives are NOT set to off. I know that the program is not compatible with Win 7 (element DLA not install), but it is not necessary to start the program.

    So, what's the problem?

    Duplicate thread:

    I have a problem with RecordNow 7.0.

    When I run the program, I get a message that says that my drives are set to disabled. they are not. I had this problem before and resolved, I think, by installing the latest PX engine update. This time, however, that has not worked. Any ideas?

    Hello

    Given that the program is not compatible with the windows operating system 7 install the program in compatibility mode.

    Most programs written for Windows Vista also work in this version of Windows, but some older programs might run poorly or not at all. If a program written for an earlier version of Windows does not work, you can try changing the compatibility of the program settings, either manually or by using the program compatibility problems.

    To run the troubleshooting program compatibility Troubleshooter

    1. open the program compatibility problems by clicking on the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type Troubleshooting, and then click Troubleshooting. Under programs, click run programs made for previous versions of Windows.

    2. follow the instructions in the troubleshooting.

    If you are unable to install a program, insert the installation disc for the program and, using the Troubleshoot utility, navigate to the program setup file, usually called Setup.exe, Install.exe, or something similar. This utility is not designed to work on programs that have an .msi file name extension.

  • Skype prevents the removal of empty folders!

    1. I use Skype only for Conference calls and interaction of students in university level and regular group tasks. In other words, I refuse any connection to anyone do not actively participate in a class with me at one time or another for the next two years.

      Now, I noticed a "remarkable" feature in Skype for these last two days (48 hours).

      I had to remove the empty of my desktop system folders and not until I completely closed and you leave Skype (ver. 7.22.85.109 on Windows 7 x 64) made this stop "have action."

      In other words, when Skype does NOT work my OS works as expected.

      It should be noted here is;

      1: I've not linked, shared or any files included in a file sharing activity to any else via Skype or a Skype session.

      2: the files are empty! Deleting the file, simply not work records.

      3: the content of the folders is not associated with uni and so has no objective sharing ever existed with or by the use of Skype.

      4: no application used to interact with the content of the folders have interacted with Skype never directly or indirectly.

      So now, the question remains:
      "Why is Skype lock up my empty folders, preventing them to be deleted"?

      The path to these files are NOT in systems or paths of Skype but on other players or on my desk!

    There is nothing interesting in the information "filtered". The only one I can see, is that you have VirtualBox running application, so you can stop it and see if that changes anything.

    In addition, the version of ( Internet Explorer (IE11) installed on your computer is not refreshed (judging by the mashtml.dll error messages shown in the log). Know that no matter what browser you use, Skype is still using IE engine installed on your computer.
