Cannot restore the downloads folder to the original location

Dear community,

I have a new computer Windows 8.

The hard drive is split into two, OS (C :) and DATA (d) and I realized that all my files were stored in the C: drive)

I read online that you can change the location of folders like "My documents" by clicking on properties and change the location to the other disk.

I did it for the Documents folders and everything was fine, I had a Documents folder in my D: drive.

Then I did the same with my downloads folder and selected the location D:\

After that, I realized that my D: drive and file downloads completely merged!

Which means, when I went to my DATA (d :)) I could find all my downloads and My Documents folder.

Still, when I was clicking on Downloads, My Documents folder was inside!

So I clicked on downloads and tried to restore the default location, but I got the error message that it was impossible to "create sublists under D: System Volume Information. Access Denied» I tried to introduce the location manually, but the same thing happened.

Now, my downloads folder has changed its name, it is called D:\ and my disk DATA (d :)) says in the location tab its default location is C:/users/downloads)

I don't understand why this happened and that cannot be good for the functioning of my PC...

Can I restore my system to just before that happened even if I never 'saved' my computer?

If not, what can I do to fix this?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hello

I only did this for awhile and can't find my notes...

I think that you can get the error because you are trying to get the DOWNLOADS folder... AND it's the content... This will not work because they are now scattered on D:\.

If asked about the files, select NO, and then copy back them manually after you move downloads.

OR... you could leave it here just temporarily, return downloads, create a folder for downloads on D: and then move again into the folder you have created. Then, cut and paste your files into it...

    As far as I know, this unit was designed for the American market.
    I m not 100% sure how the recovery procedure works on the American units but normally you should see 2 options; Standard recovery procedure and expert recovery procedure.

    It should be necessary only to boot from the recovery cd and choose one of two options.

  • Restoration of openers program: how to restore the original program of opening such as internet explore and itunes instead of notepad ++

    on my computer, I have somehow changed the settings for applications on windows 7 open with notepad ++ how to restore the original program of opening such as internet explore and itunes instead of notepad ++

    I've seen this happen when opening a program via a shortcut (for example. LNK file), you are asked what type of program to open it with. After selection of Notepad ++ (or another program) via the Select a program from a list of installed programsand checking the always use the selected program to open this type of file, document or program referenced by the shortcut of origin opens in Notepad ++ as it should.

    The problem is that now all shortcuts (for example. LNK files) on the desktop or in the browser will want to open Notepad ++ and use the icon of Notepad ++ to display the shortcut no matter what shortcut was originally intentioned to open. This is known as a file association and the default icon.

    The good news is that a small free utility was written to cancel the. LNK file association was created. There is also a registry hack to achieve, but I recommend the utility unASSOC for its ease of use.

    A utility to Unassociate Types of files in Windows 7 and Vista

    Just download and then use the utility to unassociate the. LNK files. Manual is available on the web page above (the same place to get the utility). Quite simply, you run the program and wait for the list of the types of files to complete. Select. LNK in the list and then click delete the file type.

    Can I know how to restore the original interface?

    Also, how do I drag videos to the timeline when it doesn't have any audio or video track line that I can work with, unlike the CS6 version I was using?

    Thank you.

    Hi Erica,

    To restore:

    In the menu items, choose window > workspace > reset Workspace

    To add the video to the timeline:

    • Select file > new > sequence and create a sequence. Drag the video to the new sequence.

    or

    • In the project Panel, drag your video to the new article . This will create a sequence that best matches your clips properties.

    Use the volume buttons + /-on the keyboard, I just had to push for example to increase the volume of your PC or put a song on a break. Now it does not work, I have to press the "Fn key" to use these keys.

    Please check which option is set to your laptop.
    You can find it when you open the office assist > system settings > keyboard.

  • When Lr Mobile sharing it restores the original image?

    When Lr Mobile sharing it restores the original image?

    as the FAQ says Lightroom mobile synchronizes original JPEG, PNG and video files captured by your mobile device in the creative cloud. Lightroom desktop creates and synchronizes the images in the cloud in the form of intelligent insights. Smart insights are more small versions of your files in origin, roughly 1.5 or 2 MB in size, that hold all the flexibility of a raw file. Changes to chip previews automatically synchronize with your originals. The original files remain on your desktop and are not stored, synchronized or used by Lightroom for mobile. As a result, Lightroom for mobile should not be used as a backup service.

    When I save a photo from Lr Mobile on my phone he uses this intelligent overview of 2 MB right? What did this to my original data and things like that.

    Hi Chrizly,

    If the time that you synchronize the images of the Lr Mobile Lr Office, the original image will remain on your phone, but Lightroom will create smart image previews.

    The data remains the same on your phone.

    Kind regards
