Default personal folders

I changed the location of file to one of the personal folders by default 'music' so that it transferred to an external hard drive. its now not working and now I cant find it to restore its original Traghetti. Help muchly appreciated!

Twinks

Changing the location of the default programs is not made as moving to any other folder.  Here is the procedure: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/11/25/move-or-change-vista-documents-pictures-music-videos-games-and-other-personal-folders-location/.  If you do it this way, it will not work.

As much as to be unable to find the moved folder, do a THOROUGH of all readers search (a) using the following procedure: to search the entire C: drive under Vista go to start / search and type in ' or '. As you type, you'll see two hyperlinks appear just above where you type and we'll search everywhere.  A click on it.  Who will do a fast indexed search and bring up a dialog box.  Click on advanced search.  Click the drop-down location and find the C: drive and click on it. Check the box "include not indexed, hidden and system files (might be slow).»  Then click on search.  You will now search your entire hard drive to the specified file.  And Yes, this isn't a very effective way to search the entire disk for a file but it is how it is done in Vista.  Then do the same for the external drive and the other disks you may have.

If you still can't find the folder, we will have to treat it as a lost file.

If you have Vista Business, Vista Ultimate or Vista Enterprise, you can be lucky.  They have so-called saves shadow copies, which are deleted or modified files that can be recovered in case changes/deletions made by mistake.  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-Vista/features/shadow-copy.aspx more information about how to use this feature to: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/howdoi/?p=145.

If you have Vista Basic or Premium of Vista, shadow copies is not available; However, there is an alternative that is free and the shadow copies feature called Shadow Explorer. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/recover-files-with-shadow-copies-on-any-version-of-windows-vista/.  Although it will not help you this time, it could very well save you in case this happens again.

In case this does not work (not all files are available through shadow - it occurs periodically), here are some additional free recovery programs that might help:

The files are not really deleted until they are crushed (although they are no longer available through conventional methods).  If you decide to try these recovery programs, you should stop using your drive hard immediately in order not to replace the data that you are trying to recover.  He slave on another PC and launch the recovery of this PC.  Even now you have definitely lost some of them if you use the same PC.  If you can not do this (slave on another PC), you run the risk of overwriting the data with every action you do on the PC (but you may still be able to recover some or most or even all files - it's a matter of luck).

Only you can decide if the data is important enough to take the PC to an expert data recovery to recover files (they will have better programs and hardware to do that none of us do, and I've provided above).  Do NOT go to the Geek Squad or one of these centers of store-, they generally don't know what they are doing - it take for expert data recovery.  It will cost you a little and they generally offer no guarantees.  The decision is yours.

Good luck and I hope this helps!

  • NAS200 - cannot access personal folders of Windows

    Live chat with Linksys re: NAS200: my side of it.

    On a NAS200 I install a user called 'jon' with a personal file and a password. Problem is, I don't see how now to access folder Jon of Windows XP in the same way that I can access the public folder.

    I get "\\Nas200_9792de\public disk" Windows and files read/write without problem, including several subdirectories, I created it there.

    After you create a user, I guess I would then be able to access the file with something like \\Nas200_9792de\jon for example. I tried a drive letter of mapping, but get an error message

    on "network folder is mapped currently...... try a different username. But

    nothing alse is currently mapped.

    If I try"add a network place" I get "the folder you entered is not valid. Please choose another. "

    I've updated the firmware to V3.4R75, but this made no difference

    I searched throughout the "NAS200 User Guide.pdf" and he gives no explanation on how to access the personal folders of Windows.

    I searched also Linksys FAQ but could not find a help there.

    Sincerely, Shaun.

    My emails have disappeared from personal folders in Mail since macOS Sierra update from the previous version of El Capitan, indeed personal files themselves seem to be absent or invisible.

  • How to create personal folders?

    Hello

    I was wondering if UCM has all functionality out-of-the-box for the provision of personal folders for each connected user, and which is set in a way that no other users can search the content of a user sort documents (may not be available or browse-able).

    If there is no STANDARD components, which is the standard guide line to achieve this functionality.

    I am aware to use CRMI to create folders for each user and also, I know that I can guarantee the content using security accounts - but in this case, I will eventually create a dedicated user account of security to secure personal file.

    < edition-here >

    I forgot to mention that I'm looking for a solution in the folders_g scenario.

    <>/.

    Thank you

    Vyas.

    Hi Vyas,

    I think that Yes, the option is there, but need a few adjustments, either using a profile or a custom component. Logic will be:

    1 set the dry group for the folder to an ACL enabled one - SpecialAuthGroups =

    2. set the ACL on the user name

    Any folder that is created with UAL ACL defined for the user himself will be personal folders. So, you will need to create the logic where the user logs on first will run the file create service - COLLECTION_ADD - Services Contribution - 11 g Release 1 (11.1.1) files and set the dCollectionName = , group s folder to and xClbraUserList = &(RWD). This will ensure that the created folder will be visible and editable by the user and any other users.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you

  • Outlook Express - lost personal folders/Messages

    Deesktop my wife is under XP (updated latest & greatest) and Outlook Express 6.0.2900.5512.

    Make sure that it wasn't another identity implemented by accident or due to an accident. Locate the storage folder and also see if there is another folder in storage along the way.
     
     
    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.
     
     
    In Windows XP, the files of user OE (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.
     
    You can also search FRO *.dbx with active hidden files.

  • How can I change the default personal address book address book?

    Whenever I click on an email address to email and ask to add to my address book, the contact is added to the personal address book. How to change that so that the new addresses will be added to another book?

    I have the sfhowes undefined as the solution, after a declaration of jestrader as he clicked the button by mistake.

    I don't think that there is a way to define a different default address book. There is a demand for this feature to be added, and it is always open.

    A way around this might be to move all your addresses in other address books and use the personal address book as a contacts inbox. Once from time to time, go through your address book staff, triage, and place each entry in the address book should be in.

  • Cannot rename personal folders on external drive

    I have an external drive WD Passport that I keep my personal files. After having a virus deleted, I find that I can not rename one of my files due to the read-only attribute being degraded.  I am running Windows XP Home Edition.  I tried to restart in Mode safe and by changing the attributes it - didn't work.  I tried to change the attributes by using the command prompt - did not work.  I need to get this shady read-only out of my files so they can be renamed.  Any ideas?

    I'm sorry that apparently you won't believe me - or Microsoft.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326549

    Other things to try/test. I don't know if you have tried these things or not.

    1. are you able to rename the files/folders on a drive different from the system external hard? If not, then maybe some infection had damaged you Windows files. If this is the case, then you can try the (sfc/scannow) System File Checker or a repair installation, or do a clean installation of Windows. There is no way for me to know the exact state of your computer from here, or what would be best for you to do.

    2. can you rename the files/folders on the hard disc of origin if it is attached to another computer? If Yes, the problem points to your original operating system is damaged by the virus. If not, then the virus probably damaged files on the external hard drive. It is not uncommon, especially if you have been infected by a kind of ransomware. Again, I have no way of knowing that you have been infected.

    3. If you can rename the files/folders on a different hard disk, you can also try to move the data off the external problem, formatting and see if you can rename the files now.

    And that's all I have. Good luck in your efforts. I have nothing else to add about this.
