• Try to copy a folder with subfolders, some don't copy, get the message that the folder names are too long under Windows 7

  Hi, when you try to copy a folder with lots of subfolders, some files don't copy.  I get a message that the folder names are too long, and the only option is to ignore these files.  Anyone know the maximum folder (and also) name length that will copy windows 7?

  Thank you

  Hello
   
   
  a. What are the data you're trying to move?
  b. what operating system (for example Windows files) files?
  c. What is the method that you use to copy data?
   
   
  Windows 7 supports filename up to 260 characters. I would ask you to decrease the characters in the file name and then try to copy the files.
  
  Let us, run disk checking hard disk utility and then check.
  Here's how:
  1. open the computer by clicking the Start button, click computer.
  2. click on the drive you want to check, and then click Properties.
  3. click on the Tools tab and then, under check for errors, click Find now. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  To automatically repair problems with files and folders that the scan detects, select automatically fix file system errors. Otherwise, the disk check will be a problem, but not to fix them.
  To perform a thorough check, select search and attempt to recover bad sectors. This analysis tries to find and repair physical errors on the disk itself, and it may take much longer to complete.
  To check for errors file and the physical errors, select both automatically fix errors in file system and search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.
  4. click on start.
   
   
  Depending on the size of your drive, it may take several minutes. For best results, do not use your computer for any other tasks while it checks errors.
   
  Important: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.
   
  I hope this helps.

  Thank you, and in what concerns:

• Cannot right click Windows 7 Explorer of files to generate the copy of the file names in a Notepad or Excel-compatible file. HELP REQUESTED!

  I struggled for several hours to restore the service right click that I used to have XP to Windows 7.  I need to save lists of file names such as displayed in the file Explorer. Allowing you to right-click and save files in Notepad. This option has been removed in Windows 7 and anything put in place to restore it.

  I have lists of items in the inventory and need to copy and paste the image corresponding to a transfer sheet to allow the server names to match images in article SKU.  The file names are long and typing is a complete waste of time.

  I used to be able to find them in the Windows Explorer, right-click on the directory and generate a txt file that I could open in Notepad or Excel.  -Easy.  Now right-click only allows an export in an uneditable image in ONE NOTE. This is useless for me. I can't do anything with an image file - I need the editable data.

  Is there a solution?  I need only the file name and extension, not the full path, in a text or spreadsheet document propagation.

  I had used the Microsoft solution to install their dose without knowing the final format was a NOTE image file format and not a simple txt file. I try now too write the batch file:

  %windir%\Printdir.bat

  or edit it in order to keep the file in Notepad and do not make the final conversion into a single Note.

  The problem is that the fix from Microsoft, designed to fix this problem, has placed the conversion file in the root directory and it cannot be overwritten.  I refused the possibility to delete, edit or write the file due to the requirements of administrative privilege mandated by the security of Windows 7 too much.

  So if anyone has a solution to every problem - that would help - I am very tired and frustrated and not happy with Microsoft.  Their zealous concern with security made their unnecessary programs for me and have further discouraged me to convert to the windows 10. frustrations and nightmares are waiting for me there I can't imagine.  What I really want to do at this point is to go back to XP.

  He ate five hours of my day. I don't have the time to fight like that. I am trying to be productive, but all I got are monumental technical walls and roadblocks - often designed into the system. Frustrating doesn't begin to describe it.

  Found a solution on a Web site:

  http://www.watchingthenet.com/how-to-print-a-directory-tree-from-Windows-Explorer.html

  They said it was for VISTA, but worked for me under Windows 7. You will need to use Notepad to the command prompt and select run as administrator to save the file in the root directory.

  Thanks for the help.

  Cheers.

• Cannot change the folder name of the user, i.e. the C:\Users\user name (folder name)

  "What you see is the reference in the"C:\Users\user name"folder. While you can change the registered owner and the name of the user account, you cannot change the name of the folder 'C:\Users\user name'. The only way to do this is to create a new admin account and delete the one in a new. »

• Any significance to the folder names?

  I have just flashed the new fuse to the latest version of the firmware of my wife.  I changed the mode of meteorological service of the Canada.  Now I'm ready remove all music that came pre-installed on the "rocket" because they are all in MTP mode.  When I delete existing files, it is important to keep the same folders and folder names?

  As if I want to install pictures and video files, they into specifically named folders to read correctly?  If so, what records are crutial for keep?

  The "rocket" will find your content just about anywhere, if folder names are not that critical.  However, content placed in the files of audio books and Podcasts is treated specially.  But no worries, the "rocket" automatically creates the standard for you files if they are missing.

• Prefixing 'My' in front of the folder names, Explorer causing bad paths

  I have an external hard drive with three folders and seen in the Windows Explorer, they are named 'Documents', 'My Music' and 'pictures '. After that WMP began failing to find the music on my drive, I removed and added the folder to my library and noticed the road now omitted the 'ma' - 'H:\Music '. Of course, a list of dir in a command window shows not 'My' in front of one of these folders.

  What is the problem? These are not associated with my current user account, but is there some other baggage that makes the names are not displayed correctly? Any suggestion why the Documents folder is not affected in the same way? It has already forced me to recharge my library of music once - should I just change names from folder to something like "Musik" so that Windows don't screw with it?

  Hi pdizzle,

  I suggest you rename the files to my music etc. on the disc.

  If the problem persists then I suggest you scan the computer for malware infections or viruses and remove all infections, check if it helps.

  The scan below only works on the 32-bit version of Windows

• Hi, I just upgraded from 6.1 to 6.4 LR LR. When importing new files LR6.4 cannot rename my files with a specific date format (import uses only the original name).

  Hello

  No problem with the LR 6.1, but now (LR6.4), it seems impossible to rename my files with a specific format (yyyy-dd-hhmmss and a suffix) importing memory cards. LR imports only files with names of origin. And I have a lot of files to rename...

  I hope that someone knows what's going on.

  Jean

  Jean,

  We found a similar question which is being implemented. If you shoot images at once in the first and jpg format and then import them using the option of renaming, the question is in place.

  Could you please check if you use the option "make a second copy? If so, please it deselect. It should solve the problem.

  The issue is addressed in Lightroom.

  Thank you

• Add the folder names in the path of the image as keywords separated from image metadata

  Hi all, I tried to find a solution online and customize the amazing Paul Riggott script, but I'm not able to make it work the way I need.

  I have my customer images organized in the structure of folders and subfolders. For all images (thousands of files in the subfolders a lot) I need a script for Adobe Bridge to take all the way from the image, separated from individual files paths file and store these records in the form of keywords separated in the metadata of the image.

  For example, I have the image.jpg/Work/Job01/share/Photos and image B.jpg file in the folder/Work/Job02/PartB/Photos. After I run the script from Adobe Bridge on file/work, I want to have for the two added images keywords

  Size: Work; Job01; Share; Photos

  Notice: Work; Job02; PartB; Photos

  As 'Work' and 'Pictures' folders are usually present, it would be nice to have the opportunity to put these two exact strings in script and exclude keywords added, but it is not necessary :-)

  The bellows of script adds one keyword ~photos/Work/Job01/share/Photos, for what is necessary is to divide and make key words separated substrings. This would allow me to move pictures anywhere and still be able to filter as a group structure (as number of employment, or part name).

  Please, could someone show me how to update this script? Or is there another solution that I just haven't found yet?

  Thank you, Petr

• Copy only the vmdk file to create a backup

  I'm totally new to VMware ESX 4, but decided to allows you to host a web server on Windows 2008 Server vm, after about two weeks of reading and the VMware ESX product testing. I have used other products virtual machine last year or so for other projects.

  Why not just copy the vmdk files to create backup vms? That is problem? I have not to perform the clone at the same time as any other vm used to create or created from the vmdk file copied. I tested with a NT4 Workstation vm, because the files are small and can be copied and moved quickly, and I didn't have problems.

  I use the Vsphere Client to copy the vmdk file to a folder at the root of the data store and then by creating a virtual machine, naming the vm the same as the folder.  I created a model of the virtual machine to w2008 use Vsphere standalone converter, but the vmdk copy is so much easier and faster that of re-run the converter again on the model should I need.

  I created a Windows Server 2008 virtual machine and want to test before installing Tomcat and MySQL. The operating system should get messed up, I thought that I could start over with just using the current vmdk file, I copied. Yet I don't trust using snapshots, etc. I have also created many Linux VM on the ESX Server for analysis of the use of Tomcat on them. I also have a XP Pro VM as an alternative to emergency. It is XP Pro on a computer that hosts the web site of Tomcat/MySQL production - slowly.

  Thank you

  Take a look at http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-8760 for a script that can automate Virtual Machine cloning. When you start a virtual machine that has been cloned ESXi will prompt you to "I copied it" or I moved it"etc. If it is a copy, you would respond with "I copied it" and ESXi change MAC, etc. of the UUID. The only required files are files VMDK and VMX file. Others will be re-created when the machine is added to the inventory.

  In regards to the tools, I would install them. It also includes drivers to allow the host ESXi communicate with VM for things like the soft stop etc.

• Accounts missing after copying (and then remove the copy of the) folder .thunderbird to another folder for backup (remains of original file)

  I copied the folder .thunderbird to another folder on my computer (Ubuntu on Dell Laptop) for backup, when I re-opened Thunderbird my accounts appear missing and it asks if I want to configure e-mail, etc. Then I deleted the file in double .thuderbird, hoping that this would fix it. On opening of Thunderbird, it is always as if it were a new installation - .thunderbird folder and files kept at the original location

  I am hoping there is a simple solution.

  Any ideas? - and yes I looked at a lot of books online!

  It me - confused things fixed which happened, but fortunately I have lay profile .default right in the end!
