Downloaded a zipped file/folder would not, the name is too long.
I have downloaded a compressed file/folder to a trusted site that I always. I unzipped the file (Music mp3) successfully and added to my itunes. When I tried to drag the file of music on my ipod, itunes shows his location could not be found. I went and checked on the folder I unzipped and all these other files with weird characters appears. It took 145 GB of space in my external hardrive (thank goodess). Now, I can't rename or delete the file or the folder itself. I tried a few removal tools but it did not work or when I try to download, my anti-virus software reports me. I need a way to get rid of the file. The budget is tight, so it would help if it's freeware. OR better yet a way to removed without having to download any software. I tried to delete it in safe mod and BACK. Without success. Tried Unlocker and D something software too.
Have you tried Unlocker which would have been my first recommendation. I don't know other programs (especially turned to the long name) free file deletion. If Unlocker doesn't work, or none will remove utilitly in Vista (because Unlocker is better than Vista).
The commercial product ($19 I think) says that he specifically deletes files whose names are too long. http://www.abtollc.com/Folder-Delete.aspx. I suspect that this will do the trick, but of course I can't be sure so try there is a risk that it will not solve the problem in spite of spending money on it.
Your problem with the file may be a permissions problem. Make sure that you have the permissions of all rights and take possession (and maybe both parent folders). Don't forget to check the Advnaced properties for special permissions that restrict rights or inherit permissions from parent folders - you may need to remove if you already have all the rights on the main screen. Here are the procedures:
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/.
I have no other suggestions at this point. What is the EXACT and the full path of this folder? Depending on where it is, we are able to create a new user profile (treat your as if it is corrupted) and traansfer all data EXCEPT the folder in the new profile. Then delete the old provile if he leaves despite this file - it might or it might not (I'm not sure).
To try this http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profileuse. If that is the only available Administrator Profile (you need to be an administrator to fix this), enable the Hidden Administrator Account (HAA) using http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?&lang=en&cr=US&guid=&sloc=en-us&dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_accounts_passwords&p=1&tid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055&mid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055. If you don't remember the password, try nothing because that's probably what you (or seller) did during the installation. Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account). Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.
You can also try to enter in a command prompt: click on start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator. There Cd type a space and then type the path of the fulll name the folder in question (if it even appears). Once inside the folder type del *. * and see what happens. It can give you the same error message, or it can remove. Once the content is deleted type cd, and then type del

Creative Cloud Lightroom import records show that year and not the name of the file that I created
When I import files from an SD card to Lightroom, I import to an external drive as my file. Indicates the name of the folder to the year (2015) and not the name of the file that I created (Fort Worth, 12152015). This has happened with every import that I've done so far. How can I fix it?
The copy option is used to copy the files from your camera card. The Add option is used when the files are already on your hard drive. They must be copied, just added to the Lightroom Catalog. You can simply add the files that are located on a map of the camera. They must be copied to the hard drive first.

When you rename a file highlights only the name and not the name extension.
Hi all

Thank you

Hi Pete,.
Engineers also writes a blog on why they made this change, but to prevent millions of calls to support technical questions "I renamed my file and now it no longer opens.It might be possible to change this behavior with editing the registry, but I couldn't immediately find a reference to such a value.However, I have a workaround. I usually press F2 to rename a file (I'm a lover of keyboard, hate having to use the mouse). So I click on F2, then if I need to select both file extension, I can make one of these:- Press Ctrl-A
or - Press SHIFT - end
I generally use the method of shift - end because it's closer where my fingers are already on the keyboard (I'm a lover of keyboard, but I'm too lazy). Hope this helps at least a little. - Press Ctrl-A

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
Steve M
Helloa. 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:

the situation: I erase all the contents of Documents and sending them to the Recycle Bin. This is in preparation for a new backup of Documents to an external hard drive device.
What continues to be: whenever I press DELETE I get the following error message, "file contains elements whose names are too long for the Recycle Bin." -I combed through all the names in the Documents & shortened all the time, but I always get this error message.

'File name' error too long when you copy a folder to a DVD disc
When I copy a folder that contains a large number of files on an external hard drive, I have no problem, but if I try to copy the same folder to a DVD disc, I get a message indicating that a file name is too long. My first question is why do I get the message for DVD and not the external hard drive? My second question is: How can I generate a list of files in my folder that have too long names? My second question is already other post on the forum, but there was no answer. Is it because it is not possible to generate such a list?
Thank you
It depends on what is called the 'file system '. File systems are how files are stored on a disk. Many of them have limits on how long the total file path can be. DVD and external hard drives use different file systems.
If you want a list of all the files in a folder, open a command prompt. Type this in:
CD "C:\path\to\folder".
and press ENTER. Replace path\to\folder with the path of the file in your file that you want to check to make sure this filepath is in quotes!
Now type:
dir /s > 'output.txt '.
and press ENTER. This will tell the guest to make a list of all the files in this folder and in each subfolder, and then store in a text file. This will allow you to view the list and I hope to find the long file names. Once you have found the long file name, go to that file, and then change the name.
Here is an example of the above commands. Let's say I have a folder named "foo" in the My Documents folder. I first type:
CD "C:\Users\Entegy\Documents\foo".
and press ENTER. Now, I want the list of files to be placed on my desk. Then I type:
dir /s > "C:\Users\Entegy\Desktop\filelist.txt."
And voila, I have a list of all the content of foo on my desktop files. Just make sure that your path ends with .txt and you'll be fine. And don't forget to put quotes around filepaths!
