• Is there a way to change the names of folders in waiting lists without changing the name of the original file?

  Hello

  I was curious to know if there was a way I could change the name of a folder on my list of added items leaving the name of the original file untouched. I work in an accounting firm that shares all of our records on a single server, and we can't rename an any of them like all the world has its own shortcuts and what not on their individual computers. For example, some of our files are separated into folders by file type, exercises and billing periods, like this:

  Billing applications

  EXERCISE 14-15

  Period 1

  Digitized invoice copies

  EXERCISE 14-15

  Period 1

  If I have two folders period 1 has performed the fallen on my desk, they are both the same labeled, but I would like to I know not what specific folder, I work in rename them. Is there a way I can rename the folder on my list of items added on my desktop without changing the name of the file in its original location? I know that I can hover over the name of the folder to get the exact location of the file, but when I work quickly, it becomes a bit cumbersome to do this for every file, especially when I need to have several folders (at least 10) pinned.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  You can create the path of the shortcut for them and name it as you want.

• Change the names of folders and files to destination when synchronizing MP3 player to the computer with Windows Media Player

  I'm syncing my MP3 player with my computer (copy MP3s from it in my music folder), but I cannont find a way to synchronize as I want.  It's copy MP3 files in the folder and they are stored in subfolders in Album titles.  It is also copied to as just the title of the song under the file name instead of "Artist - title" because they were copied as original.  How can I change the way in which they are copied?

• How can I change the default topics listed in Windows Explorer?

  When I look at the files in Windows Explorer there are positions that I find little use for me. I would like to change the default headings listed to display only those that I use most often as update, size, Type and Date of creation. How can I change the default settings for securities so that these topics, such as tags and side are not displayed?

  To change the headers, right-click on the header bar, and click more.  You will see a list of options to be included in the header, and you can place about to adapt to your desires.  But they will not stick unless you modify the template for this type of file.  Procedures for this follow-up.

  Here's how to change the default template for a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/70819-windows-explorer-folder-view-settings.html.  Default behavior is to select the model based on the first type of file placed in the folder (you must choose something).  Vista sets the folder type template according to what are the types of files in the window and the settings display window Explorer. This will show you how reset the display settings of Windows Explorer folder (which is what I think you want), disable Automatic folder Type discoveryand increase the view of the folder cache to have Vista don't forget not the display, model of file type settings, the size or the position of a window for when it was still closed to the location of specific path.

  It does not work with the Sub record under, Open with, open in a new tab (Internet Explorer), etc... dialog windows of type through the good File menu bar item. These don't seem to be able to have their size or their position to recall. For the latter, you can use the free program http://autosizer.en.softonic.com/ to resize them.

  Here is another article on how to modify the columns in Windows Explorer and sort in Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/108665-column-customize.html.  This will show you how Add, Remove, move, change the widthand change the sort order of the columns in Windows Explorer in the way that you want.

  Here is another article on how to change the display of the default folders in Vista (but she argues, it is not a perfect solution and can revert to the previous behavior is not as good as the two prior links provided: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13880_3-10019957-68.html.)

  I hope this helps in your situation.

• Left mouse moving is no longer open to the subdirectories and files in Windows Explorer or certain words in Wordpad

  Occurs only with a single user, all users were affected.

  Windows Explorer

  Normal operation of the double click the left button of the mouse on the files or folders in Windows Explorer causes them open. Now, this happens not all the time.

  I can't open a file (or a shortcut) with the left mouse click in the pane of the current folder in Windows Explorer.

  Clicking on a shortcut in the list of favorite links and the list of folders in the Navigation pane is OK.

  Using the mouse to navigate through the folder next to the search box tree is OK.

  Right mouse clicking on any file or folder, in the current folders pane and selecting open manages to open and works in the usual way.

  WordPad

  Double-click on a Word with the left button of the mouse to select the word and now is no longer the case.

  First observations of the incident occurred after a clean boot.

  The first time it happened was after I did a clean boot on my computer. I then restored my machine to normal operation with msconfig, however the left mouse malfunction problem moves still persists.

• Change the name of the computer to apply to folders - Vista

  My computer was a friend, but when they gave it to me I tried to change the name of the computer to mine but that you are unable to apply to the user folders (I hope that makes sense!) - the user account name is Elise, but the address (?-equivalent of when you type a URL in a Web browser...) said again: C:\Users\kerry\Documents

  Is it possible to apply the name change for the name 'Kerry' is replaced by 'Elise' in the address?

  The only way to change this folder name is to go to the control panel to the title of the user accounts and create a new user account for the name you want.  Later, you can delete the old profile.

• Change the name of files and folders in data warehouses

  Is it safe while a virtual machine is running to change the name of the VMDK files and folders in a data store?

  I discovered that a VMS VMDK files have a different name for the virtual machine itself, then someone changed the name of the virtual machine after you have created the records

  I had to do it a few times, will try to document the process that I follow.  If you have many warehouses of data, then make a note of what data store, the machine is in.  The next step is to unregister the virtual machine from vCenter / ESXi

  Then, you need to enable SSH on your ESXi host

  Use Putty or something similar for you connect to the ESXi host

  Run the following commands (in italics)

  cd vmfs/volumes / that is, if the data store that contains the virtual computer is named datastore1 then you would run cd/vmfs/volumes/datastore1

  Then run ls to verify that the virtual machine file is here

  Rename the folder by using mv

  Change to the folder with cd

  Rename the nvram, vmsd, vmx and running again is to say the mv

  MV oldname.nvram newname.nvram

  MV oldname.vmsd newname.vmsd

  MV oldname.vmx newname.vmx
  

  MV 1234.hlog - oldname newname - 1234.hlog

  Rename the vmdk with vmkfstools EI oldname.vmdk newname.vmdk

  Edit the vmx with vi newname.vmx

  Replace references to oldname to newname in this file

  Register the virtual machine with the ESXi server and it should be OK

• WMP changes its name at the time where I change the names in the playlists

  Hi people, to support

  I have XP and WMP 11. I love working with WMP very much but I have a big problem with the creation of playlists.

  First, he must know that. If I make a playlist of different artists like this and sync it to my MP3 player, the player will put all the artists and the album separately names in its lists of an artist folder and album that creates a huge long folder to browse to the 'normal' CD That's why I change at least the various names of artists in 1980, for example has a slow. A brilliant solution, was it not for the fact that WMP is very difficult to accept these changes in the mine. He continues to change the names of 'my' name of origin found in their records. After changing several times later he accepts it, most of the time. But... the problem is worse when I want a particular song appear in more than one playlist, as Slow 1980 and slower. He even sometimes change the names I put in the original name in the original records. I hope you understand what I'm trying to explain, and it drives me nuts keep changing the names. (You probably also I know I have change the names in WMP or in the files folder.)

  How can I solve this? Thanks a lot for help.

• Change the names of default directory in XP

  I want to change my default directory

  "C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Administrator\My Documents" in "C:\Documents and Settings\Doug\My Documents.

  If I do I would like to replace the "Document and Settings" with "Docs".

  You cannot change a user account by changing just the name. Simply by changing the name will do a cosmetic change only and does not affect the underlying files/folders in the profile. You will need to make a new user account called 'Doug' and then copy all your stuff from Compaq_Administrator to Doug. If you have all the other user accounts on the system and it is XP Home, you will need to make a third extra work (let's call it Tech or Extra or similar). If you have XP Pro, connect to the built-in administrator to make the copy. After you have created the new account of Doug, connect in a time so profile files/folders are created. Then log off the coast and on the extra account.

  Copy files to the new user profile

  1 log on as a user other than the user whose you copy files to or from the profile.
  2. in Windows Explorer, click on tools, Folder Options, click the view tab, click Show files and folders, clear the box to tick Hide protected operating system files and then click OK.
  3. Locate the C:\Documents and Settings\Old_Username folder, where C is the drive on which Windows XP is installed, and where ancien_nom_utilisateur is the name of the profile to copy user data from.
  4. press and hold down the CTRL key while you click each file and subfolder in this folder, except the following files:
  * Ntuser.dat
  * Ntuser.dat.log
  * Ntuser.ini
  5. on the Edit menu, click on copy.
  6. Locate the C:\Documents and Settings\New_Username folder, where C is the drive on which Windows XP is installed, and New_Username is the name of the user
  Profile that you created in the section "create a new user profile".
  7. on the Edit menu, click on paste.
  8. close the session and log in as a new user.

  Note: You must import your e-mail messages and addresses to the new user profile before you delete the old profile. For more information, see 313055 OLEXP: mail folders, address book, and E-mail Messages are missing after you upgrade to Microsoft Windows XP

  You cannot rename the Documents and Settings directory. This is a directory on the system. If you want to a folder called "Docs", create one in my documents on behalf of Doug. You can make a shortcut to the folder on the desk of Doug if you wish.

  After changing the name of a folder or a file on the desktop or by creating a new folder (and then hit enter), the folder or the text file doesn't change - until I use the Refresh command. Then, the text shows correctly and the movements of folder or a file in a place open to the top left of the screen. Before using "Refresh" the folder or the file will not open. When I save a file on the desktop is not visible until the 'Refresh' is used. Sometimes, but not always the same behavior occurs in other folders as well.  I use Win XP SP3. Can someone please shed some light on this?

• Need to change the name of the administrator under the folder of the user account

  I just got a new HP laptop with Windows Vista 64 SP1. My friend who got the laptop I use a nickname that I hate it when he set up the computer for which it was not supposed to do in the first place. I went to the section control panel user accounts control and changed the name of the administrator account. I have only the administrator account on my computer with the guest account. That part worked.

  My problem is that, under C:/Users / (username), it still shows that hated nickname. I want to change the name of this folder, but cannot understand how or if it's possible. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance

  As you have discovered, you cannot change a user account by simply changing the name. That will be a change cosmetic only and none of the files/folders real profile will be changed. Follow the instructions below to fix things to your liking and to implement correctly under Vista user accounts.

  1. create the new user account (named as desired) as a * standard * (not administrator) account and at least one additional account with administrative privileges. Call the extra account 'CompAdmin', 'Tech' or similar.

  2. Enter the new user account once if the profile files are created, and then disconnect and then connect to CompAdmin.

  3. go in Control Panel > system > advanced > user profile > settings

  4. you will see where you can copy user accounts. Copy the misnamed old account to the new name correctly there. Use her browse to select your new account (C:\Users\newaccount). If you don't want to copy all the settings, and then instead simply navigate using the old user, music Explorer Windows Documents, etc. and copy the data to the new user folders.

  5. connect to your new correctly named user account. When you are sure to have what you need, you can delete the misnamed control panel user account > accounts to users if you wish.

  General information about configuring users in Vista:

  You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista is an OS multi-user with system built-in accounts such as administrator, by default, all users and guest. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

  In particular, you do not want one account user with administrative privileges on Vista because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult. It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but it will take third-party tools and work outside the operating system.

  The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. If your normal user account is an administrator, having created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

  If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

  Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
  Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

  Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

  Hi Sasha1959,

   

  Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

  You will need to give this permission to complete file to access, and then make the relevant changes. Please see the link below for more information on this topic:

  Here are the steps to change the ownership and permissions:

  1. right click on the file or folder, click Properties, and then click the Security tab.

  2. click on advanced and then click the owner tab.

  3. click on edit and then do one of the following:

  ·                  To change the owner to a user or group that is not listed, click other users and groups and enter the object name to select (examples), type the name of the user or group and then click OK.

  ·                  To change the owner to a user or a group is listed in the change owner to box, click the new owner.

  4. If you want to take ownership of the contents of the folder, select the Replace owner of subcontainers and objects of the box.

  5. click OK and then click Yes when you receive the following message is displayed:

  6. you're not allowed to read the contents of directory folder name. Do you want to replace the the directory permissions with permissions granting you full control?

  7. all permissions will be replaced if you click Yes.

  8 note folder_name is the name of the folder you want to take charge.

  9. click on OK and then reapply the permissions and security settings that you want for the folder and its contents.

  Permissions of files and folders

  Topics ·         What are the permissions? ·         What to know before applying permissions to a file or a folder ·         Can I protect a shared folder with a password? ·         Why the Security tab is missing in the properties of my file and folder? ·         Are shared files and folders set?

  Additional considerations

  An administrator can take ownership of any file on the computer.

  Affecting the ownership of a file or a folder might require that raise you your permissions using user access control.

  Hope this information is useful.

  Let me know if it worked.

  All the best!

  Thank you, and in what concerns:
