Cannot unselect the file name extensions and hidden items

Nice day

I use Windows 8 Pro. I noticed that all my files file name extensions
are visible, so I went in to my folder and under show/hide display board, I saw that "File name Extensions" are checked
and "Hidden Items" unchecked.
I then tried to uncheck "File name Extensions", but nothing happens. The checkbox just reappears and I can't delete
the name of the file extensions, so to speak. Also I cannot view my hidden object because when I check this box it displays a check mark
for a split second and then it is still a time unchecked.
I also went in Folder Options in Control Panel, click on "View files, folders and drives" and I checked
him "Hide extensions of known file types" applied, but nothing happens. When I reopen it the Folder Options both of them
Yet once are unchecked.
If anyone can help me in this matter, it will be appreciated gratefully.

Hi Rohan,

Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community forums.

I see from the description of the problem, you can't hide from the files extensions and show hidden files in a folder.

I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. We are here to help and guide you in the right direction.

To provide the proper resolution, that I would need more information on your side.

The problem is specific to a particular file?

This problem can occur because permissions, corrupt user accounts or even damaged files issues.

We will first of all, try the procedure described in the article and check if that helps.

    With the help of Acrobat DC Pro.

    Is it possible to prevent a user from changing the name of an acroform file if they save or save as?

    If it is not possible to prevent the user from changing the file name, is it possible to automatically fill a form field with the new file name when saving, or when you submit the pdf?

    It is also possible to set the field to display the file name, by using this code

  • Validate the file name extension

    Hello
    New problem. lol I have a file browse button that allows you to add in a file. I want to be able to see if the extension of the file is XML or PDF or another. I want that they will not be able to implement XML in the field. On validations in APEX how I would approach it when it tries to send the form. Say they put in a PDF file and skip wants only XML files.
    Any idea.
    Thank you

    Try this

    Perform a validation for your item to browse file of the SQL type EXISTS.

    to put validation text:

    SELECT 1
      FROM DUAL
     WHERE SUBSTR(:P4_FILEBROWSE1,LENGTH(:P4_FILEBROWSE1)-3) = '.xls';
    {code}
    
    Where :P4_FILEBROWSE1 is the name of your file browse item.

    Hi all

    Hope someone can help. I just downloaded my Creative Suite, but can't install the program that my computer does not recognize the file name extension ending with.7z of a 7Z file.

    What's next?

    Mata

    You can download the files from the link Atul mentions above.

    Under Windows, there is a .exe file and usually a .7z file.

    Download the two files in the same folder and run the Exe file to start the installation

  • The file names changed in wingdings, including the file extension and I can't delete, change them, open, etc. Here are the pictures.

    Have (had) a file with multiple files it contains with pictures in each file.  A week ago the pictures were there.  Now, the names are replaced by wingdings as names and file extensions.  When I try to open it, it is not accessible and that the file name, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect.  When I try to delete it, it says that the file name you specified is invalid or too long and specify a different name.  When I try to rename it, it tells me that if I change the file name extension, the file may become unusable.  If I try to change anyway, it says I've specified file name is not valid or too long.  Only tried for the name 1.  I did a restore in the case where a program interfered with that.  However, nothing has changed.  All of the suggestions.

    You can download and try to delete the file Unlocker http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtmlwilh.  Although it is not designed for this particular circumstance, it may very well work in all cases, as it has been very successful in a wide variety of situations are not specifically highlighted in the directions (where do not work the normal Vista options).  NOTE: Some antivirus flag programs this program as a malware, but it is a 'false positive' and is safe to use perferctly.  My own software to flag, but several other well-known software products it clean and the warning is included in the documentation of the program.

    I wish there was a way to save the images, but at this point, it seems that the only option is to delete because you can't rename files EHF (if this option is available-I hope that work above).  Unfortunately, System Restore does not affect the files of data, so even if a program caused this, System Restore can eliminate the cause, but it would not restore the files to their previous names.

    If you have Vista Business, Vista Ultimate or Vista Enterprise, you can be lucky because they retain the files called snapshots http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Previous-versions-of-files-frequently-asked-questions.  It can be used to recover previous versions of files that have been changed or deleted accidentally.  Here's how: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-vista/features/shadow-copy.aspx.

    If you have Vista Basic or Premium of Vista, you don't have a shadow, but there is a free program for you that does essentially the same thing called Shadow Explorer: http://www.shadowexplorer.com/.  I suggest that you download and implement as soon as POSSIBLE to protect you if you accidentally delete or modify a file.  It will not help you in this instance, but it can help save the next time.

    I'm more concerned about why this has happened in the first place and prevent it from happening again.  I saw file names change before, but never of wingdings which then do not let you open, edit, delete, or rename.  We will check some of your system files: go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

    Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.  If you find any these corrupted files, try to post them here.  Maybe we can replace the good files on the disc.

    While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  It will scan and try to solve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a cause.

    If this does not work, then please post repetitive errors in Event Viewer about the name change (Start / Control Panel / administrative tools / Event Viewer).  Here's how to use Event Viewer: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic40108.html.

    If this does not work, you will need to do a repair/system upgrade using the Windows Vista Installation disc authentic (you own or that you can borrow from someone).  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html as well as the upgrade from an earlier version of the Windows section of the following: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918884.  Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side. If other procedures do not work, it is almost certain to work - but it will probably not fix your renamed files.  You can have a lot of updates to re - install (including all you need to remove service packs).  If the version on system with SP1 or SP2 preinstalled cane and the disc is an earlier version, then you will need to do a slipstream drive as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/151606-vista-sp1-slipstream-installation-dvd.html.

    I hope one of these procedures can solve your problem.  If this isn't the case, after return and we will try something else.  Return message anyway so we know how it turns out.

    Good luck!

  • Unmasking the exported files file name extension

    Hello

    When you export a Pages (PDF, DOCX...) file (.pdf, .docx...) file name extension is hidden automatically, even if it appears in the file save dialog box. As it is for most of the files that will be sent to the employees on a PC, see the file extension name is very important.

    Is it possible to force Pages to let these visible extensions?

    Thank you!

    Paolo

    It belongs to your PC users own parameters so they have file extensions or not.

    On a Mac, just select the file and Get Info (command I) then check the box show the file extension .

    There is also a checkbox in the Save dialog to show or hide the extension.

  • How can I have the file name as visible caption on the photo

    I have several hundred digital images that I have edited and saved with a meaningful file name.  I would like to produce a slide show and then burn to DVD with the name of the file as a legend, preferably (but not necessarily) without the file name extension (for example, my photo.jpg would show as 'my picture').

    I (Pinnacle Studio) software that will import photos or DVD, and I'll create my slide show with Studio, since I am familiar with this software, but the Studio does not automatically create captions.  Re-type the captions for each slide will be intensive work and maybe isn't necessary.  I have a couple of programs that will produce a legend using the file name, but they are old and do not have an option to burn a DVD - only to run the slide show from the software owner.  I also Ulead FT 6 and Adobe PS Elements 6.  I am running Vista and have another computer with XP, so I have the photo editing software that comes with those.  I haven't found something that will prepare a folder of photos by file name as legend I can burn on a DVD.

    searching on the Internet I found a few programs for sale that seem to have the ability to do what I want, but I have hundreds of programs, and I don't want to buy another for only this seemingly simple task.  There are shareware/freeware/trialware which will allow me to display the file name as captions for photos and then burn a DVD or create a file that I can burn it with Nero for import into Studio 12 or 14 Studio?

  • where to save the files under options the file name is duplicated how to remove an additional folder with the same name

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Hi Akush, when you install 7 - zip, make itself the default application to open .zip and .rar files. So if you double click on the .rar file, it should open in 7 - zip. If you prefer to decompress immediately, right click the file and look for new 7 - zip items in the menu. I can't think of a way to do this automatically, however.
