Double folders/files

In windows Explorer, I have a main "Documents" folder and another document folder under the main folder "downloads". In addition, under the 'C' drive 'users folder it is a same set of folders/files. It is using too much memory. What I can, (and if so, how) delete one or even two of these back up files? Remove a single subfolder in a group seems to automatically remove the same subfolder in the other two groups. Obviously, I don't want to lose the data of all three locaations.

Hello

Documents in the documents folder and the folder of document users are the same, located on the same driver, but you'll access another document of the user to the c: folder and these are the same folders but accessible in different ways.

  • Lack of folders/files-System Restore - more missing files/folders

    Hello!

    I would appreciate help to find my files and folders missing if possible.

    I am running windows Vista version 6.0, service Pack2.

    I started windows and noticed that 5 of my office files are missing, and all files contained in. A search for the names of document and file returned nothing (even with advanced search options). One of the missing records was called "term 1". I created a new folder and tried to change the name in term 1. A popup told me this (office) file contained already a folder named "term 1" - I wanted to merge these files? I was puzzled, because I could see is no longer the original record of the term 1. I clicked 'Yes' in the hope that a merger would result in a visible folder 1 term, but now two records have disappeared. After some intensive research, I couldn't find the files/folders that were missing. I must point out that not all the files/folders disappeared.

    I restored my computer to a previous checkpoint (since 2 days after a windows update). After the reboot, I got a message that the restore has failed. I remembered that this can occur because of an AV, so I disabled Norton. At this point, all of my files and folders Office disappeared, apart from the default windows desktop icons. A search gave no results. I tried to cancel the restoration, which has been a success, but none of the files/folders not returned. I then tried to do a restore to a control point from before the update of windows. This succeeded, but more folders/files have disappeared. Ouch. I can still access those appearing in the Panel of my 'recent articles', but when I try re - record, I get a warning of "the file is read-only / Normal doc.

    What have I done? Can we do anything to restore my files? Curiously, a few random documents and most of the settings are still intact. I noticed that my quick launch buttons are gone if it means something.

    Any help/direction would be wonderful.

    Thanks in advance,

    Meegss

    SOLVED! It was the question. Thank you.

  • Why are all my folders/files in the same display format? Win. 7

    A few days ago I had some folders/files in the "Détails" view, then I could get into this folder and the files/folders would be to "large icons". For some reason, all my folders/files turned to mode «Détails» If I changed the view of the "Large icons" folder, it would change just return to the 'Details' when I returned to the folder. I changed it if all folders/files are now to "Large icons", but it was so much easier having separate folders contain separate views. How can I return it to that?

    I use Windows 7 Home Premium.

    This article basically talks about about how take a point of view and copy to other folders, but it also explains how to do the opposite.  This also explains why the libraries do not allow this (which means that you can never have seen separate if you go to a library).

    Looking for the location of your catalog in the menu help > system information. It's all the folder containing the database file catalog.pse14db.

    It's easy to synchronize your catalog...

    But...

    Even if the media folder tree has the same structure, which does not work and all your files will be displayed as "offline" in the catalog synchronized. The reason is that the catalogue in computer stores the location of the media files by the full path AND the identification of the drive (internal serial number). The synchronized catalog will not find files on computer B.

    So, what would be your choice?

    -Store your multimedia files on an external drive and plug it alternately on both computers. No need to synchronize media files; You can even save the catalog on the external drive, no need to synchronize the catalog folder either. Downside: who does not act as a backup. You can use your sync as a simple backup to restore in the drive of origin if necessary.

    -According to John R Ellis, you can assign the same serial number for both drives.

    psedbtool (database of the elements of Photoshop tool)

    I have not tested this, but it should work.

    -The good old method of backup and restore, forgetting the 'sync' is slow, but much more secure (you have two copies over a backup). The HUGE advantage is that you can easily migrate to another computer and still another version of elements, even another OS.

    -My own solution requires some fiddling with the sqlite database and a good understanding of the structure of the database. I have syncs media and catalog or via Synctoy Windows files on an external drive. I create a copy of the catalog I have change in sqlite to point to the serial number of the external drive. The catalogue of the external drive and media are available to any computer with the same version of elements. The advantage of the 'synctoy' method is that it is much easier and faster than an incremental backup in the Organizer.

  • but lost folders/files can be seen in the profile

    I lost files from my local server where I email storage. Use pop and it created a new file pop.xxx - 1. on my computer to store mail that I spent. The last having appeared at the beginning of the month, but does not contain links to all the previous records. How to get back the files/folders to add to them?

    Pointer to the file names.

    SDB tells Thunderbird folder contains sub folder. It contains in fact as well.
    MSF files are index in the mail folder. It also stores the Tags, but it's main purpose is as an index.
    Files without extensions are the real mail.

    Before you attempt a restore from a backup that will very likely lose something. Check that your anti-virus does not have the file in quarantine is. Pretty common that they scan with new definitions and find something for 6 months which is not a risk.

    Regarding your mozbackup. To facilitate the work with it, change the ZIP file extension. then you can use it as any other Zip file. (windows will be opened like a folder in Explorer) The file you are looking for will be in exactly the same relative position in the Zip that mozbackup maintains the structure of the profile folder.

  • Change ITunes library folders files?

    I want to use my folder of mp3 of network for the iTunes sync Apple device but I'm afraid that it will modify the files or folders (I currently use the copy on my laptop).

    ITunes changes one of the files or folders?

    D to hinges,

    Go to Edit > Preferences > advanced and make sure that the keep... and copy... are both disabled.  This will cause iTunes to use the existing copies of audio files without change or move anything.

    Also, do not use the services cloud that may interfere with your library, namely music Apple or iTunes game.

    As a precaution, make a backup before you start.

  • I can't move folders/files in the iTunes library

    Hello

    I am reorganizing my iTunes library after the implementation of a server. Even if I used the dialog box in iTunes (Preferences) to move the files, many, many links were broken. There is now a location in the library moved with the following path: X:\iTunes Library\Music\Unknown Artist\Unknown Album. The files in this folder are all parts of the existing albums. The rest of the songs from these albums are properly located in the location of the library, which is to library X:\iTunes. Most of these files is purchased AAC files. The files are not corrupt, by what they play. They also seem to have the correct information, when I look in the Properties dialog box, or query information through read in iTunes. In iTunes, it is ALWAYS the path: X:\iTunes Library\Music\artist\album, with the annexed artist/Album information. For example: X:\iTunes Library\Music\Michael buble\christmas\01 it starts to resemble a large number of Like.m4a. I would like to move these files to their correct locations in X:\iTunes Library\artist\album, as well as the rest of the files in the albums they are detached. When I try to move the files, they are not being apparently copied or moved. If I connect them to the entries in iTunes after the move or double click on it to play in iTunes, they disappear from the new location and reappear in a folder with the path X:\iTunes Library\Music\Unknown Artist\Unknown Album or one with a path like this: X:\iTunes Library\Music. I have no solution to this problem, I have tried everything I know to do to fix and searching newsgroups for a solution. I'm on Win10 and iTunes 12.3.1.23. Help, please. This is driving me crazy.

    Scott D.

    The typical reason for the files are moved to the folder unknown Artist\Unknown Album is that they do not have a tag or the tag is empty. This is true of all the files in the .wav format, as they have tags. In some cases, mp3 files may have several tags, that maybe not all the same data and including an iTunes reads or updates is not set. ITunes can finally move things forward in the wrong folder where there are permissions issues, but usually that moves things to a level or in rare cases throw them on the desktop.

    When you say that allowing you to move the preferences files, you update the path in the media folder and then consolidate library (create copies, leaving you to delete the originals by hand) or did you move them by hand and then update the file? This second method is a common cause of problems. When it works it is a happy coincidence. It is not how you are supposed to move content from iTunes.

    In a modern iTunes library, the correct layout for the elements of music is \Music\- with other types of media stored in different subfolders ------.

    Follow the steps to repair the security permissions for iTunes for Windows to your Media X:\iTunes library folder.

    Verify under file > library > library organize the box to reorder the files is grayed out. In case contrary it check now and apply. It should reorganize and files located in ------------ form. He pourrait also move things out of unknown Artist\Unknown Album.

    Look for the entry in the library for one of the files that is still unknown Artist\Unknown Album and information. Check that album & artist are filled. What format is the file? A correction in the name of the song, for example to add an end of X. Assuming you have the possibility to keep organized activated now moves to the right folder? If so turn keep organized power off, then turn it back on it. Who should correct the other misplaced items.

  • Flash memory card data verification, how to compare folders/files in Labview?

    Thanks in advance,

    The range of the file IO has a function to perform an MD5 on a file.  If you want to detect the validity of a set of files, what happens if you had a list of files and md5s and then conducted an audit to see if all the files have the MD5 expected.  Of course, you will need to take a line of well known file-based and MD5s.

    Hi Oniebeme,

    • Exactly when you receive the above errors?

    Step 1

    You can run the checker system files (SFC Scan) on your computer and check if it helps you to fix the aid and support question. System File Checker analyzes all immediately protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions. This command may require access to the Windows installation source files. Follow the steps below to scan SFC on your computer.

    one.

    Click Start and run, type sfc/scannow, and then click OK.

    b.

    Once the scan is complete, restart the computer.
    Note You will need the Microsoft Windows installation CD if the scanning utility cannot find the necessary system files.

    Access the link below to learn more about Scan SFC.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310747

     

    Step 2

     

    If scan running SFC does not help, you can create a new user account and check if it works fine without error on the user account. If the new user profile on the computer works fine, copy data from the user of the old account to the new.

    You can access the link below and follow the steps in the article to create a new user account and copy the data to the new account.

    Step 3

    This behavior can also occur if the computer is infected with the Virus. I would recommend torun a virus online scan.

    Access the link below and check if your computer is infected with the virus and delete the same.

  • Folders, files and programs from a folder called 'research', can I get back them?

    I found a folder named "research." I looked at it and saw that can be found just about everything I downloaded. Movies, etc. I started to delete some and realized that I should not delete. Tried to recover - no chance. Half my office has disappeared, and lots of folders and files and programs are gone, I'm in a mess. Any suggestions, other than a.38?

    I really hope that someone can help you. I'm at my wits end, thinking that I can't do anything. I need help. Is there anyone out there?

    Also a 38 a clean reinstall is your best option.

    Sometimes to try to solve the problems takes longer than a reinstall.

    In addition, a resettlement gets rid of questions that your computer has.

    You should have a factory restore the image on your hard drive.

    With the factory restore, it is quick and easy.

    If you don't factory nor manual reinstall consider buying Service Packs.

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/bb738089

    This page will display the SP1 of Vista, under the heading: order a DVD of Windows Vista SP1, click on your region and then select your country and will take you to a page where you can buy the SP1 and SP2

    Save the link and it's also for others to read this post wishing to purchase Service Packs for Vista as long download time saved and you can use them download are a problem or you reinstall your operating system.

    If you later reinstall OS and you install the drivers manually install the Service Packs right after OS reinstalled before installing any drivers. You can first install the drivers but it is better Service Packs first as sometimes when you install a Service Pack after the drivers, you can find some drivers do not work and you have to reinstall these drivers.

    For people using the original image, your drivers are already installed then install Service Packs just after the factory restore before installing applications or devices or download Windows updates.

    Service Packs using immediately also save hundreds of download of the updates of Windows first of all that all updates to the top until the release of Service Packs are included.
