  • Help: I can remove bookmarks using 'Organize Favorites', but cannot get rid of the empty folder.

    Using 'Organize bookmarks' I can delete individual bookmarks, but when I try to remove the empty folder, the "Delete" option is grayed out.

    The folder in which you are trying to delete?

    In the left pane of the library (bookmarks > organize bookmarks) there are three main files in the folder "All bookmarks" ("Bookmarks Toolbar", "Bookmarks Menu", "Unsorted Bookmarks").
    You cannot delete these main folders.

    * The Bookmarks Toolbar folder stores the bookmarks that you see on the (View > Toolbars >) Bookmarks Toolbar.
    * The Bookmarks Menu folder stores bookmarks that you see in the Bookmarks menu and create via "Bookmarks > Bookmark This Page" or "Bookmark This Link" in the right click context menu.
    * The Unsorted Bookmarks folder stores that bookmarks that are created by clicking the star at the right end of the location bar.

  • Had to install XP Pro in one folder other than the Windows folder. Can I delete the new folder without causing problems?

    I was cleaning some ad/bad/spyware on the computer of a friend. It runs XP Media Center 2005. When I restarted it, it wanted a password. He put never, ever. The only work around was to reinstall XP without deleting any of his files (more than 8000 music files) because it is not anything save. I put the new XP in a different folder, I named. After searching around, all of his stuff is there and I can access, but this new folder is take a LOT of resources/mem. There is almost nothing in this record, I can delete the new folder without compromising each other, installation? I think I would need to get rid of mode safe mode with command prompt. I did it so many times, but it's never happened to me. Help!

    Once you get the drive installed, simply use xcopy or Robocopy to copy the files, with a fairly large music 8000 drop these command-line utility will be faster than to try to copy them through the Windows Explorer GUI.  Xcopy is integrated with Windows XP, Robocopy is available for download from Microsoft.

  • Problems with VC90 runtimes after deleting the winsxs folder. Installers now may not have write access to the winsxs folder?

    I very much regret to remove winsxs folder. I read that it might be recreated after being deleted and it was, but now VC90 doesn't quite

    A bunch of programs does not start, saying: there is a problem with the 'side by side configuration. Sxstrace using and try to run one of these programs, the analyzed log file shows that it was looking for VC90 manifest files in the folder "winsxs/manifest", which he could not find.

    It was weird because I feel that these manifest files should be created by the setup of the program (this program has been installed after I deleted the winsxs folder).

    Programs that are looking for VC90 during installation will say I did not install and will try to install it, and then fail and leave. I tried to install the runtime myself, but get the following error:

    Product: Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x 86 9.0.30729.17 - Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly ' Microsoft.VC90.ATL, version = "9.0.30729.1", publicKeyToken = "1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b", processorArchitecture = "x 86", type ="win32" '.

    I tried to get windows updates, but that did not fix it. I also tried to install SP2 (currently SP1) but it wouldn't install.

    Could someone help me please?

  • Delete the _notes folder?

    There will be problems if I delete the _notes folder and do not send it to the server with my html pages?

    Using CS3.

    Thank you.

    Personally I think this is the best practice. I quite often use notes when you build a Web site is a very useful tool.

    The _notes are only used by Dreamweaver internally, but not by your site, so if you are working with Dreamweaver keep notes locally but just don't upload to the server.

    Hi Srimadhwa

    Thanks for the reply. Before I check for any response, I used ubuntu live cd to remove the offending unscrupulously folder.

    I really don't think it's anything to do with my windows account (although I didn't try the solution you suggested).

    During the copy process that something has been broken that created this file with the path, but no other property, I think that this "confused" windows and it wouldn't recognize that it exists.

  • Why the empty folder reappears on the desktop in XP when I use the Save as command

    I'm under XP_SP3 with Firefox 8.0.1. I had an empty folder on my desktop called "D E M O" I used to use for downloads. I moved to another HD on my system and removed from the desktop computer.
    Now, any moment I DL EVERYTHING type of file with Firefox, the folder reappears on the desktop as soon as I hit him file, save as. I tested this out with IE6. IE6 does not re-create the folder.

    This might be a stupid answer, but did you really tell firefox to download to a different location?

    Personally I always Firefox ask me where to download files.

  • Delete an EMPTY FOLDER in the all programs list.

    SuperAntiSpyware uninstalled from my computer. Now, the name appears in the list of programs, when you click on the Start button.

    I can't find out how to remove the empty file with the name of SuperAntiSpyware.

    Thanks guys...

    What happens if you right click and select "remove from this list"?

    The above is that if you have a shortcut for SuperAntiSpyware in the main part of the start menu.  If you mean that when you click on "All programs" you still see a folder named "SuperAntiSpyware" then open Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start start\program and delete the folder "SuperAntiSpyware".

  • Delete the ILifeAssetManagement folder

    Hi, can someone please tell me how I can delete the folder ilifeassetmanagement to my mac? Everything I found says that it is linked to the photo stream, however my photo stream is not and has never been enabled on my computer. However when I try to delete the file and empty the trash he immediately returned to its original location on my computer. Is wasting 8 GB of space on my computer that already has space problems, and it's ridiculously irritating that Apple has added data on my mac I have to not request, consent to or want to without my knowledge!

    The iLife applications are who need this folder "~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement / '.

    It is not only used for my photo stream.  If you do not use 'My Photo Stream' or 'Shared Albums', for example Family Album sharing, you can try to remove the ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets subfolder.

    It will work normally, because this 'active' subfolder is used only by the MyPhotoStream and shared albums.

  • ! Difficult problem!  Move iTunes songs to the empty folder to automatiquementala

    Hello everyone.

    It's my frist time write a discussion here, desperately looking for your help

    I checked the other similar discussions and I can find none, that has the same problem as mine.

    Anyway... my iTunes is updated and therefore my iPhone 5 s.

    I've always used automatically add them to the iTunes folder to add music from my iTunes library.

    (after that music has been transferred to the ' automatiquementala file it IMMEDIATELY disappeared, but the song was in the iTunes library)

    One day, as I noticed a few circles on the left side of my songs in the iLibrary. These songs were not playable, and whenever I

    sync my phone I got (100errors) that the songs could not be transferred to my phone. (Song couldnot be used because the original file cannot be found. You want to locate)

    Even if I wanted to move each song, I would choose the automatically add to iTunes folder (BUT ITS EMPTY). I can't find the music anywhere on my hard drive.

    I gave up those songs and decided to download again them once I find the time.

    Recently, I backed up and restored my iPhone 5 s. After I restore, I noticed that a lot of my songs did not appear on her

    (those who did not appear in the iLabrary too).

    Today I decided to download all these "missing songs" and it took me at least 3 hours. All happy I've put them in the damned automatically add to iTunes folder, plugged my iphone with itunes and sync. After syncing I started testing in my iphone and I noticed that only 20 of 70 + songs were on my phone (most of them was gray and unplayable, so I resynced, that did the trick). But other songs were not there! I checked my doomed automatiquementala file once its empty and I don't know what to do with my life haha

    Please guys, help. And if you can do it step by step, because im not really a pro with computers

    and other things (btw im using a Windows 7 or 8 I think haha)

    The folder add automatically to iTunes acts as an area of "file" for users (and other software).  When the files are placed in add it automatically to iTunes they will be handled by iTunes (immediately if it is currently running, otherwise next time that he istarted) and added to the iTunes library.  The files placed in add automatically to iTunes will be moved to the standard locations within the structure of library iTunes, determined by:

    • the iTunes Media folder location setting in Edit > Preferences > advanced, and
    • the values of metadata in media files are added.

    If you use the default location of folder media (C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media) then your files will be moved to folders named according to this model:

    • C:\Users\ username \Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\ artist \ album

    The only exception to this is the case where the indicator 'Part of a compilation' is defined in the media files - the names of standard folders will then be:

    • C:\Users\ username \Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\Compilations\ album

    If you have selected the option "organize files...". "in Edit > Preferences > advanced files, if necessary, is renamed to use the disc number, track number and the name of the song as a basis for file names.  Very long folder/file names will be truncated to 36 characters (which can have strange side effects if you have two albums whose names only differ after that limit exceeded - you end up with a folder containing two album titles).

    After the addition of new media in your library, the add automatically to iTunes folder must be empty: the only exception is when the media files are in a format that iTunes cannot handle or the files are corrupt: in this case, you will see a subfolder "not added".

    In your case, it seems more likely that the files have been added to your iTunes library you or another piece of software has moved or renamed multimedia files, or that the disk on which the files were placed is no longer available on iTunes.  If you can post (using screenshots of preference):

    • Your settings in Edition > Preferences > advanced
    • The location held by iTunes for one of the tracks that cannot be located (for this, right click on one of the songs display next to his name, select Get Info, when you see this message (of course with the name of your song "disappeared")):


    Click on no, then click on the file tab - the location information that is held in the iTunes database will appear at the end of the list in the window, starting with "file://localhost", like this:

    Then it should be possible to diagnose your problem and propose a resolution itself.

    Hello mkaysi, welcome.

    My suggestion would be to try this:
    1. download but do NOT install the MSXML4 SP2 update from here:
    2. download AND install the utility Windows Installer Cleanup from here:
    4. open the Windows Installer Cleanup utility from the menu START. Should be found in:
    START > Windows Install Cleanup >...
    5 locate the FSX entry in the list, select it and remove it
    6 click on START
    7. click on "Control Panel."
    8. click on "Folder Options".
    9. uncheck "hide hidden files & folders".
    10. click on 'Apply' at the bottom right
    11. close all windows
    12. click on START
    13. click on 'computer '.
    14. click on "Local disk (c :))".
    15 go in Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator X
    16. If there is any files, delete them
    17. Subsequently, go back one folder and delete the folder of the Flight Simulator X
    18. Once this is done, close all programs, restart the computer and then try to reinstall the game
    Let us know what happens

  • How can I prevent subfolders are deleted when I try to delete the parent folder which I did not have permission to delete?

    There is folder (I have a total control except "delete")

    There are some folders and files in A folder.
    When I try to delete the folder it said "access denied." That's what I wanted.
    But after having done this, when I check inside the notebook has, I saw subfolders and files have been deleted.
    How can I set the permissions to prevent this?
    (I also want to have the permission to delete subfolders or files in folder A when I'm in it. I just want to avoid file one himself from deletion)
    Thanks in advance...
