• 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 have a desktop PC in my room but no cable UTP. However, I have a laptop with working Wi - Fi connection perfectly fine so I decided to share it with my desktop via ethernet cable. Sharing network works fine, but my desktop PC Gets the APIPA IP address. I was told that this laptop creates a new network, a different IP so...

  Problem is I want to share my HARD drive between the two, but it does not seem possible because the computers are not in the same network.
  IP addresses are:

  Original title: bridge/Share connection question

  Hello
  I was able to solve the problem. You wouldn't believe what caused it...
  Years ago, I changed my username on the laptop (in control of group/user accounts). When I tried to connect to my laptop from my desktop, I entered, of course, the same username and password I use to connect every day... However, Windows requires original/old username, that before I changed the to the present, which is very weird if you ask me... I was lucky enough a few other guys made a YT video about it. Who would have thought that you had to enter obsolete user name to connect to the homegroup, even if I use any other username to log when you use the mobile phone physically.

  in any case, thanks for your help.

  See you soon

• Windows XP can't see shared files and folders on the system Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

  I have a wireless home network. When I got Windows 7 Home premium 32-bit on my desk - my XP laptop was able to share files and folders.

  Today, I upgraded my computer to Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
  Now - my Windows 7 Desktop can access files on my XP laptop - BUT - I was no longer able to access to any shared files and folders on the Windows 7 desktop. I checked that matches the name of working group. And on the XP - when I go to the Add Assistant preferred network and make a Browse.When I select Microsoft Windows network and task force - I see my office listed. But when I try to select - the OK button remains grayed out.
  I would appreciate your help on this.

  Thanks for your help - but I just found out the problem. In the advanced sharing settings, I forgot to select Enable turn off password protected sharing. The second I chose no-all the files and folders that I set to share on the Windows 7 system became available.

  Thanks for your help, anyway.

• 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!

• 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.

• Satellite A100 - 02 M: cannot open the local area network to share files and printer - LAN Unplugged

  I have an office of another manufacturer which was connected by a wireless network via a Belkin router for a laptop another manufacturers - both running XP.

  I have now replaced the other laptop with a laptop Toshiba Satellite A100 - 02 M under Vista Home Premium. While I can still access the Internet from both machines, I can't open the LAN to share files and printers. The laptop shows 'LAN Unplugged' all the time. Any ideas would be accepted with gratitude.

  Ray Freeman

  Hello

  I have no general solution, but I'll try to give some advice solution;
  If you want to connect laptop with LAN cable both please make sure that you use a crossover ethernet cable.
  In addition, check if the network card is properly recognized in Device Manager.

  You could try updating the LAN driver and remove the NIC in Device Manager to update the installed driver.
  After restarting again the operating system should recognize the new (Lan) device and should install it automatically.
