Create a new folder or change the name of a folder on the desktop does not display until I use the refresh command

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?

  • I used to be able to add new files in libraries by clicking on the tab 'add a new folder '. Now it does not work.

    When I go to the library to add a new folder, it does not work.  I used this method, many, many times with no problems.  I have not tried to add a new folder in about a month, I think.  I clicked on the file I want to add a subfolder to do a right click.  He asked new portfolio name.  I find that odd because I have this experience only on my desktop and my laptop.

  • New folder in Windows Explorer is not visible until I press refresh

    Hello!

    If I create a new folder in Windows Explorer to a network drive (which is a DFS share) under Windows 7 Professional 32 bit, the new folder is not visible until I have press F5 (refresh). Is there a fix or a solution to this problem?

    Thank you

    Kampi

    Hi kampi,.

    You can wait for a while and do not try to rush by pressing f5, because it can take a while to showup on network drive.

    To work around the problem, you can try to disable the Client of Microsoft Networks in the LAN connection properties

    a. open management of network and sharing Center.

    b. go to the Local network connection and click Properties.

    c. clear the Client for Microsoft Networks option and check.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • new computer win 7 pro connected to ext HD or flash drive does not display any permission or not available

    Two hp 17-inch workstations mobile (business) Z book 17

    On consumer laptops, I can view the files on my external hard drive 1 to and 1 GB player.

    On these corporate work stations (mobile), I'm not able to view the files on the hard drive or flash drive.

    I need your help so that I can save files from the internal hard drive of the mobile platform of book z hard disk external.  And I need to be able to reconnect the external drives and readers to the Zbook mobile workstation to transfer files to transfer flash.

    These are the pop ups that appear for each when displaying of readers by opening my computer:

    When left click hard disk drive a pop up appears with the title bar: location is not available.

    H:\ is not accessible.

    Access is denied.

    Make a right click on the hard drive allows opening of the FreeAgent GoFlex drive (H properties)

    The tabs are ReadyBoost, previous Versions, Quota, customize, general, tools, hardware, sharing, security

    By clicking on security of advances and then permissions then continue and then change my name owner or administrator... both methods result in the same access denied result once again.

    I came across this http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/00d04415-2b2f-422c-b70e-b18ff918c281 is this something I need to study and learn before I am able to connect and use an external drive or flash?  Or is there another problem?  If the answer is in this link, do I have to put emphasis on and why wasn't windows 7 configured so that it is easy to use external drives as in win xp and win 8?  Are all usb ports do not or all drivers of failing or is it a software problem all?

    I was not able by trial and error to display all files on any hard drive or external flash on the two books of z of mobile workstation.

    Then I went to the flash drive.

    Left click on the flash drive produces a pop-up with title bar G:\

    You don't have permission to access this folder.

    Click on continue to get permanent access to this folder.

    After clicking on continue it opens another pop-up with title bar G:\

    You have been denied permission to access this folder.

    To access this folder, you will need to use the Security tab.

    When clicking on the Security tab he opens a new pop with the title bar: removable disk (G properties)

    The tabs are general, tools, hardware, sharing, ReadyBoost, customize

    He did not indicate what to do next.

    Here is the new mobile workstations HP Z book 17.

    Microsoft said that HP is responsible for the operation of win 7 in the first year for the operating systems pre-installed

    HP elite support doesn't know how to solve the problem with the USB ports on the two books of Z is not able to provide access to external hard drives or flash drives

    These two mobile workstations have problems of USB port with all the ports on each computer?

    These two mobile workstations have problems of windows 7 where the client has to learn how to use the registry to store external hard drives internal hard drives?

    What does do to be able to back up files on a disk external hard drive internal?

    Have to do to be able to use flash dirves with a 17 mobile workstation z book?

    This problem has been resolved.

    The book of Z 17 HP installed their software: HP Client Security.

    This software prevents the use of external hard drives and flash drives in its default settings.

    Each customer is on their own in discoverinv and the resolution of this problem.

    There is no warning.   He made no information on why a right click on a drive and checking the property do not work.

    The way in which this issue has been resolved was by a clean boot process in msconfig.

    When miscrosoft services were hidden items that remained were read.  Systematically, some were checked and unchecked, and the computer has rebooted to see if the problem was still in existence or if the problem has disappeared.

    Whenever the hard drive or flash drive has been verified.

    We were lucky that we checked to see if it was or not HP software at the beginning.  This problem was caused by the default client security HP who were to refuse all USB connections.

    This consumes a lot of time and was so frustrating.

    On the first book of HP Z 17 thin client HP security biometric authertication failed with a black screen.  The computer is about 15 days old.    All the dirvers for the HP notebook have been uploaded and then the software for biometric devices have been downloaded.  HP determined that it was a hardware failure of the biometric device, when drivers and software downloads together has not fixed the problem.  This computer had / has the same problem with not allowing communication with any external hard drive or flash drive.

    HP did wrong by not providing any information on the inside of this product the HP support assistant.

    Here's a consumer might encounter problems:

    The HP support assistant on Z book provides updates of drivers for windows, but the support phone number book mobile z is not listed.  There is a phone number, but it is a regular support, not z book mobile support or elite support.  Mobile Z book users are supposed to call the number fo elite press and the number is for a regular support on the wizard of book z mobile support.  Support assistant has cat support method and the HP chat support is not trained to book support z mobile.  There is a feature to contact the technical support and the transfer of data to the technician, and again, it goes to regular support who is not trained to support the mobile z book.  If you call the phone number provided some of the choices on the automated line includes desktop, laptop and office work.  If you choose Notepad you won't get z mobile workstation support.  If you choose work center you will get no support of z book mobile workstation.  Instead, you must have someone answer and then ask to be redirect to support elite.  On the first call, you never know that the support you are looking for is elite support until they give you this information on the next contact.

    After many hours spent barely pull on the problems of not being able to view files on an external hard drive or external dirve flash, I was able to change this HP software.  It now unfortunately produces a humming noise when parts of it are displayed.  This has not yet been set.

    It is the customer of HP security information:

    http://www.HP-ProtectTools.com/downloads/PDF/HP_ProtectTools__EnterpriseDeviceAccessManager_Whitepaper.PDF

    There was no information to reconfigure the software in the white paper.

    I was able to find a user guide.

    This guide was not and was not available through the HP support assistant:

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c02292692.PDF

    Hope this helps all who are unable to view the files on their external hard drives and external flash drives.

    The thin client HP security prevents click right change of ownership and prevent changes, right-click in the security, etc..  Change of Director fails also as the client security administrator HP overides too.

    So end users must change the HP Thin Client Security so that it does not block access to files on external hard drives or flash drives.

  • How to export an entire folder of images in my office or in an album put directly into a new folder on my desktop?

    I'm new to Photos and you want to export an album of about 120 photos on my desktop but their export in the file instead of being on my office individually. Any ideas how to do this?

    Use the Finder to create a new folder on your desktop. Then open the pictures and click twice on the album, and then use the command A key combination (or Edit menu Select All) to select all the records in the open album. Using the file menu, export command and in the second window (after pressing the export button in the first window) select the folder that you have created with Finder - or you can skip the first sentence of my instructions here and click the button new folder at the bottom left of this second window of export and use it to create the new folder.

  • Cannot create a new folder name

    Cannot create a new folder and name it.  The name I give always comes back again record when I hit enter.

    I'm assuming that happens with all new folders in the special folder that you use and that you use a "legal" name for the folder - but that is determined when you answer questions of Malke.

    It's maybe a permissions issue.  You will have to perhaps take full rights on the folder or even take in charge of the case.

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

    To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product.)  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

    Good luck and I hope this helps!

    Only time that happens, in my limited, knowledge is... If you use a 'illegal' name, such as ":" symbol. There are symbols, that you cannot use as part of a name. When this happens, you should get a warning indicating that the name is not allowed, something to that effect. Then he returns itself back to the new folder.
    Suggest you try again with conventional names. See if it works or not.
