Contents of My Documents to copy on the desktop

Whenever I start, all the contents of My Documents have been copied to the desktop.  I have to keep deleting the folders on the desktop, that takes forever.  How this can happen?

I just found the cause of the problem.

I ran Malwarebytes, the scanner from Microsoft - nothing.

Today, I had left the computer at night and went into account it is not when I reboot, it is once per day, without worrying.

So on a hunch, I checked in scheduled tasks and program backup, AllWay Sync and found it was updated once / day back - up My Documents on the desktop.  I have no idea how that got the value, probably a mistake.  End of the problem.

  • Why the computer preformance decreases when documents are stored on the desktop?

    you have a "document" that explains - only shortcuts to programs should go to the desktop?

    * original title - only program shortcuts should go on the Office *.

    I really think that most of it comes from the icon cache and the time of Windows 95, nothing more.  The desktop icons are consuming a small amount of RAM, the question is did it really matter that much on the machines of today, and it really mattered on Windows 95 machines with enough RAM, like 32 MB or more.

    You can see ancient literature of technical Toolkit for more information on the bottlenecks of memory bottlenecks and suggestions to solve them.  Since the Server 2000 Resource Kit:

    Solve a memory bottleneck

    Although adding memory is an easy solution for a memory bottleneck, it shouldn't be the first option, that you agree. Try the following, more profitable alternatives before you spend money on additional memory. If you decide eventually to add memory, note that the maximum amount of memory recommended for a computer running Windows 2000 Server is 4 GB.

    • Monitor your applications and replace or correct those that a memory leak or use it inefficiently.

    • Modify your application in order to improve locality of reference. The Working Set Tuner, included in the Platform SDK, recommends an optimal organization of the code functions. For more information, see the MSDN link on the Web Resources page at http://windows.microsoft.com/windows2000/reskit/webresources .

    • Increase the size of the pagefile. Generally, the more you can do, the better. You can also have multiple paging files, but you should have several files of pagination by physical drive when the drive is not partitioned into logical drives. Volume aggregated by bands can be used. This helps to improve the rate of reading / writing to the pagefile because the work is distributed on multiple disks.

    • Check the available space on your disks. If you use a large swap file space is not available, this can produce symptoms of a memory bottleneck.

    • To conserve memory, avoid using certain display and sound effects. Who can drain memory offers animated cursors, desktop icons, wallpaper large bitmap and some screen saver programs; deleting or disabling can offer certain benefits in a limited-memory system.  Reduce the color depth and screen resolution display can also save memory, but to a lesser extent.

    • To free memory, disable services that you don't use. Stop services that you do not regularly saves memory and improves the performance of the system. However, make sure you that understand the ramifications to stop a service before do you.

    • Remove the drivers and unnecessary protocols. Similarly slow protocols use space in the pools of memory paginated and not paginated. Drivers also use memory. You can see how a driver uses the memory with the parser in Pool (Poolmon.exe).

    • Replace the 16-bit systems with 32-bit systems for better reliability and performance.

    • If you have other computers that are underutilized, move applications in memory of these computers.

    Icons on the desktop MAKE use memory, but seriously, how much difference is really only at this time?  In my opinion the last word goes to the NT4 Resource Kit:

    "If all else fails, add memory. After struggling with a neck memory bottlenecks and exhausting effects, you will find the best answer of the whole system is well worth the investment. »

  • A copy of the Sierra of MacOS and travel on the same volume

    I installed a new copy of the Sierra of MacOS, and most things seem to be well-oiled. However, I noticed that when I copy a file and paste it on the same volume, a copy of it remains in the original location. So, by example, if I download a file in the Downloads folder and then copy this file in Documents, a copy of the file remains in the folder downloads. On previous versions of Mac OS x, the default action might have to move the file of Di-ownloads of Documents. Is it possible to recover this feature?

    Another totally independent question is I see also that Terminal does not save orders, after its closure. So if I entered a command then close Terminal, after the reopening, I have to type the same command again. On older versions of Mac OS x, we could simply use the arrow keys to navigate through previous orders. Is it possible to recover this feature?

    Try the press / hold down the command key while you click and drag a file from one folder to another. Like El Capitan, this should move the file.

    About Terminal, the up/down arrows always work for me to remind the right Terminal commands like they did with El Capitan.

  • Excel file on the desktop disappeared

    Toshiba laptop about 2 weeks running Vista Business. New on Vista also.

    On the desktop, I have an Excel spreadsheet that I use as a time sheet that I update regularly. the last used about 2-3 days ago.

    Turn on the laptop today and he disappeared. I know that I'm deleting it.

    Vista is a desktop cleanup and delete this? If so is it put it somewhere?

    Tried to do a system restore, but I can see only an empty place, if I go back enough.

    Then the files are safe to leave on the desktop and if so why he would table disappeared?

    I don't know why your file disappeared. No, this to happen usually like magic in itself. System Restore does not restore data in files. Restore your Excel from your backup file and put it in your Documents folder instead of the desktop computer. Create a shortcut on the desktop. It's one of the reasons why having the files on the desktop is a bad idea. They can be deleted by mistake or sauteed in a backup too easily. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Shortcut on the desktop of contacts in windows 7-windows live mail

    My new computer replacement provided with Windows 7 and Windows Live Mail installed as my email client.  I have been using it and it.  I was also put my contacts in the folder of Live Mail contacts within this program.  Since the file allows other information in addition to the email, I would like to use as my contacts folder by default/hand/don't touch that file, but I want to have a shortcut on the desktop to access the full file of contacts directly without having to open the complete e-mail program.  I tried in vain to drag a copy to the desktop, locate the program in live mail and create the shortcut to a file that opens the list of contacts.  I also noted and found a file of contacts under c/users/chick who looks like and contains the same information on a contact (it has the face of the same user) identical to the contacts in the folder of Windows Live e-mail but does not contain contact information that I already have in the program Live Mail and apparently isn't the same folder.  How can I create a shortcut on my desktop that opens just the contacts folder in the windows program live mail?  I could also ask the same question on the calendar in windows live mail.  Thank you, chick.

  • I document for which the security of the document does not allow me to assemble documents, copy of content, page extraction, form filling, signature &amp; creating the model. Buy adobe acrobat won't solve all?

    I document for which the security of the document does not allow me to assemble documents, copy of content, page extraction, form filling, signature & creating the model. Buy adobe acrobat won't solve all?

    The result is that Adobe does not provide any software to defeat the security of a PDF file. If the creator of the PDF file set to this level of security, intentionally or not, that's what it is! The solution to your problem is to go to the creator of the document and ask the password or an unprotected PDF file version.

  • Is it possible to copy all the layers in the layers panel and paste them in a new document?

    The content of each layer will be different on each document so I don't want to copy. I have 12 documents to be used in a calendar and I want all the layers as well as their names and colors to be the same in each document. I already have all the pages designed and built, but personal information is to be added, and I want each of them to match all the others.

    Basically, all I want to do is to copy the contents of the layers panel and past in each of the other documents.

    I just create a page at the end of the document w / layers and on this page, add an item by layer. Also, if you have 15 layers, drag the small fifteen frames on the page and the layer icon to assign each image to another layer.

    Then in the Pages panel menu, choose move Pages. Choose this 'page of layers' to move to your receiving document (another of your calendar documents), Destination: end of the Document.

    The receiving document will get all the layers. Remove all items (15 views) on the extra page and the layers remain.

    Next time you make a schedule, you should check the add-on for InDesign Calendar Wizard. You will cry all the time you wasted it making manually ;-(

  • Copy paste the PDF content shows a lack of character

    Our website a4academics provides a platform for the sharing of academic projects and seminar reports in PDF format for students. We receive a complaint from students, when they copy and paste the contents of the PDF document, the 'F' word is not copied in some reports. What could be the reason? It is because of the issue with the software that created the PDF report. Its happening in some PDF files only.

    Thanks for sharing the document.  However, I can't reproduce the problem; Here is what I get when copy/paste the same section of the document:
