Duplicate "My documents" and "Shared Documets" Folders in explore. __

I use Windows XP Pro, explores under the Documents section and the definition, user 1 "My Documents" folder.  There is also a folder under C:\ 'The documents of the User1' this file is identical to 'My Documents'

How can I remove or remve the c:\ 'User1 Document' folder?  I don't want to duplicate files.

The same thing is happing with "Shared Documents".  I have a folder under C:\Documents and Settings\Shared Documents.   And a second under C:\Shared Documents.   The system won't let me delete, reset or move.   Any help please!
Thank you

The User1 Documents and Shared Documents, you can see directly under C:\ are shortened. Leave them alone. You have only to a true User1 My Documents and Documents shared under C:\Documents and Settings. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • [SOLVED] I need help for Shared Documents and Documents on my computer XP Home

    I need help with my shared Documents and other folders on my computer. I have an administrator account. My son has a limited access account.

    I clicked on the option 'make my private files and folders '.  His file was renamed to Documents now my shared Documents. It's just my account.

    I tried to undo what I did. I tried everything (I mean everything) has proposed to do online.

    First of all, I logged in Safemode administrator account. I went to the Documents folder, and I've added the Administrators group and click full control.

    Then I restored system a few weeks before. Then, I went to http://computers.douglasthrift.net/winxpfaq/#faq3_shared_documents and did everything.

    None of them worked. I did so much, that I don't remember.

    Then, I found that the registry key for the Shared Documents lacked in the MUi cache. @shell32.dll,-21785. I entered, but after I rebooted a few times, he disappeared. I have to hurt... In addition to this. Now I face a different problem. I don't know it is normal but when I login my account and click on

    My computer, I see Documents of my name and the name of my son in addition to Documents (Shared Documents).

    When I save a new file in the My Documents folder, it is automatically created in the folder of Documents of my name, too. I can't delete them because they are system folders. I crossed my registry keys in the MUI cache and discovered that 4 of them did not exist in other accounts.

  • ITunes library and duplicate the items and folders of Windows Explrr

    I have a 2 or 3 General questions on iTunes.  I download all my iTunes on a PC and play really.  That is why the questions about iTunes folders in Windows Explorer.

    1 how to produce duplicates in the library?  I have loads.  I saw the advice to remove them.  This helps a little but it's still a task to be piecemeal.    How to stop what is happening in the first place?

    2 in addition to the duplicates.  Last night I went in Windows Explorer on the PC that I use to download and play iTunes and entered the iTunes Media/Music folder.   I walked carefully each folder album deleting duplicate here.   However, on opening iTunes itself today, duplicates all seem to be still there in the library list.   Why it did not work?  ITunes is not loading the content of this folder?  If this is not the case, why I was informed to support?

    3 What does the symbol of iCloud next to some of the tunes?  If I run the cursor over them, it says 'download '.   But surely I downloaded it when I bought and added to my library?    Why should I download it again?  That this symbol that the melody in question can not play if the PC is offline?

    4 one of the songs in my library list appeared today in my Windows Explorer iTunes Media/Music folder.   I can I have accidentally deleted while I was removing the duplicates it and have now downloaded it in the album in this folder.    Probably so, iTunes library does not constantly in the folder of music on a Windows PC?    He only takes over here if the backup is necessary?

    If so OK but other files appear in the library that do not exist and he asks me if I want to find the file?

    I guess that my confusion stems from the assumption that the iTunes Media/Music in Windows Explorer folder should indicate precisely what will appear in the library in the app.

    Vondegru,

    With regard to questions 2 and 4: iTunes does not automatically "load" all the files in the folders.  You can do an analysis of initial unique optional optional when you install iTunes, which will add all are compatible files in the iTunes library.  After that, files not added unless you take action to add.

  • Is there a software to detect duplicate documents and images?

    I'm having a hairy problem combining documents, applications, images etc from 2 different computers.  There will certainly be duplicates.  Because a large volume of documents, pictures etc, the removal of duplicates manually is not practical.  After talking with support from Apple, I know there is no way to deal with us with the Apple software.  So I'm asking if anyone knows of a third-party software that eliminates duplicates in large numbers?

    I am running 10.10.5 on both computers. I used Migration Assistant to move orders from the old computer to the new.  Since I have data on the receiving computer, I need to keep, I had to create a new user on the destination computer that you want to use for the data from the old computer.  If I had no data on the destination computer, I would have reformatted the HD and just moved the data. I also have two computers backed up on an Airport Extreme Base Station, Time Capsule.

    Thanks for your help.

  • I have 7 user folders in C:\Documents and Settings and a single user account. How can I assign the right folder to my account and get rid of the others?

    Recently I got a video card break down. Repair technology installed a new and created a new Documents and Settings folder, which is now using my user account. I don't want these settings, I want the 'old'.

    Please write the command NET USER (at a command prompt) and report the output of the command.

    To find out what profile folder the user uses the command DEFINE the USER.

    To get a list of all users and their profile folders use the script VBS here: shows all the SIDS of the user with the path to copy and paste the script (in the box) to a Notepad file and then save it with a .vbs extension and run it.

    Set up your computer so that it uses an automatic connection, and when you get to the login screen just enter the user name and password of the account you want to use, and you should still be able to open a session with him.  To change the automatic logon settings type control userpasswords2 in the box run from the start menu and select (put a check mark) the option "users must enter a user name and password...". ».  If you use the 'Welcome' screen, you can press Ctrl + Alt + Delete twice to get the login screen and you can then enter the user name and password.

    To remove an unwanted user account and its associated user files use the applet in the control panel user accounts, don't forget about your actions before you delete a user account and its files, it is a one-way street and destruction will be permanent.

  • In XP Documents and Settings, are files under Admin, default user, all users, and duplicate files etc?

    I see in Windows XP under Documents and Settings administrator, all users, default user and owner records. This is a duplication of files? I'm trying to clean up my hard drive and I would like to have just a structure, such as the owner or the administrator. Can I get rid of all the others and save a workspace of dick? How do I do that?

    * original title - more disk space? *

    N ° don't get rid of one of these data structures, or later, you'll be sorry.

    For everyday use, you should use the profile of 'owner '.  All your documents, music, images and other data must be different subdirectories to the title of owner.

    The administrator is a built-in account for emergency use administrator privileges (for example, if your daily profile becomes corrupted).  Probably, you don't see administrator on the Welcome screen.

    Every user is an account that is used to share data between different users.  If there is only a single user defined on your computer, there should be very little in every user account in the "My Documents" of this profile part, but some applications that you have installed may have placed hidden files in different folders in the profile all users.

    Default user is a model that is used to create new user profiles.

    If you are interested in which is placed on your hard drive, download and run JDiskReport.

    If you fear that you progress low hard drive space, there are a few things you can do, but all of them are essentially temporary measures.  If you're really under out of space on your hard drive, you can buy a bigger hard drive.

  • Duplicate files: I have a large number of directories and files dublicate in "C:\Documents and Settings".

    I have a large number of dublicate files and directories in 'C:\Documents and Settings\Jim\' and 'C:\Users\Jim\' after the upgrade of Windows Vistat Ultimate 64 bit to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. Why?

    The documents are really in the second folder, Documents and Settings is
    a junction point.
     
    In Vista and Windows 7, "Documents and Settings" is not a folder.
    Vista/Win7 uses a different file structure than XP/don't. Those who don't know
    the names of folders you can be used for, such as "My Documents", "Documents &.
    Settings', etc. are not folders in Vista/Win7. They are the points of junction,
    and are used for legacy programs that have been written to use the XP file
    structure.
    They will redirect the programs to use the Vista/Win7 equivalents records.
    If you keep hidden protected operating system files, you will not see them.
     
    In Vista/Win7...
    The documents & settings-> \Users
    My Documents-> \Users\youraccount\Documents
    My music-> \Users\youraccount\Music
    Application-> \Users\youraccount\AppData data
    etc.

  • Several Documents and My Documents folders has HUGE MESS

    I'm having a similar, but perhaps more complicated problem. When I've implemented Windows 7 Pro, I accidentally created a user profile with a name that I didn't. I tried to correct it and I couldn't. Dell technical support allegedly solved the problem, but what they were really doing was to create a new library using the name I wanted. The profile of the user is always the same, but now I have several folders My Documents and who knows maybe how libraries with the same folders and I can't understand what are the default values. -Now when I think that I've updated a document and I'll come back, this isn't the one I've updated. There is no consistency, so some folders have updated files and other folders in the library even not. I need to synchronize sort each of them to have a Documents folder with all subfolders and files with the newer versions of the files. Sync Center tells me that my computer is unable to create partnerships and that my computer may not be compatible. I need to get this resolved so I can move to windows 8 with clean records and files, before the expiry of my offer to upgrade!

    See if that helps to shrink the locations of the files in question,.

  • Unknown folders in Documents and Settings

    Here is a link to imageshack for two .jpeg files.

    http://ImageShack.us/photo/my-images/13/fdrivedocumentsandsetti.jpg/ and http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/29/documentsandsettings112.jpg/

    Both are Documents of XP Home and settings folder, one is archived from a disk image of the 24/11/2011, and the other comes from a backup copy of the Documents and Settings folder from 02/02/2012.  It is the second that I have questions, especially since 02/02/2012, system showed signs of an unknown infection affecting the operation with the mouse and the keyboard text write operation.  (Both were slow).

    System restore operation seems to be successful, restarted, but system restore incomplete or successful never appeared.   Features of safety on all security programs program had been lost or disabled to a certain extent.

    Only use was to restore a disk image of the 24/11/2011.  That is why the image of archives of 24/11/2011.

  • How can I move the folders from Windows XP that contains "Live Mail" e-mail files to a different location than C:\Document and Setings\...?

    I just migrated my PC Windows XP "Outlook Express" to "Live Mail" and the migration went really well - the progress of conversion migrated without any human intervention my thousands and thousands of emails, my many Email of OE, my address book files.

    I have however a problem and are not top-of-now a solution for this.

    With Outlook Express, files of Windows XP with my emails were on another Partition of Disk Partition c.  It is important for me, for all the 'application data' (for example, all emails) stored in another partition of the disc the C partition. Because if trouble with newly installed software (for example a beta Version of the software), I can use a backup of my C Partition and restore it without losing the data of the application (for example without losing everything new emails).

    Question 1: With "Live Mail", can I keep my emails to another folder of Windows XP as the standard C:\Document and Settings\... file? If Yes: How can I do this?

    Question 2: Is this whole "C:\Document and Settings\nom of utilisateur\Local settings\application data\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail" folder that I can move to another location?

    Where can I get information on these topics?

    Thank you for an answer.

    My apologies. I was finally able to find a description on how to move the folder containg XP on the Web e-mail "Live Mail".

  • Why have I not 2 folders of paper? We are in c:\documents and settings and the other in c:\users

    I have 2 files in Windows 7 and they appear almost the same. One is c:\documents and settings\name\Mydocuments and the other is c:\users\name\MyDocuments. Can I move all the files the c:\users folder and then delete the folder c:\documents and settings?

    They are the same file.

    C:\Documents and Settings\ is an alias used to ensure the compatibility of older programs.

    This name is hidden if you are using the default options in the Folder Options > view. Unchecking "Hide protected operating system files" causes the file name to become visible.

  • Why finder hide Documents and office files in the home directory of the user by activating iCloud drive? What about the behavior of Time Machine backup or third-party applications?

    I'm under MacOS Sierra. I am connected to my iCloud account. I activated the option Desktop and Documents, but I did NOT activate the option optimize Mac storage, because I wanted to make sure that all my files would be available locally, just in case, I would need to work without an internet connection.

    -J' noticed there now a menu iCloud in my sidebar in the Finder, with links to Documents and desktop.

    -J' also noticed that Documents is no longer presented in my favorites in my side bar of the Finder.

    -This last suggests that files saved in 'Documents' are not saved more on my HD... but only in iCloud, which isn't what I want.

    -Then, sailing in the Finder Macintosh HD/users / 'My account' /, I noticed that my Documents and desktop folders are more visible, as if these files are not saved in my home folder most. Which raises the question: where are My Documents and files on my HD, so they are still?

    -Using a shell session in the terminal and again navigate to/Users / 'My account' /, I noticed that my Documents and desktop folders are still there. Which suggest that records and records of office reside actually still in my home folder under users, but Finder actually hide it and present them as being stored in iCloud only disc. It's very confusing.

    This raises several questions:

    -In the first place, why Apple hide Documents and office files in the directory? Why not view these folders in iCloud and directory?

    -Whence the iCloud folder or drive, reside actually on my hard drive?

    -What time Machine. Is it still back up my document files and folders?

    -What games third-party app mirroring backup of My Documents files and folders? They still work properly? (I use Livedrive backup and Sugarsync for files mirrored across several macs).

    -How can I understand that Apple is doing with my folders and files? Some users might be happy with the iCloud drive concept, without worrying about how it works, but I don't take chances, and I want to keep a good understanding about the functioning of my system.

    Could someone explain what is exactly happening?

    With office and selected Documents, access to these files are now in the iCloud Drive, not in your home folder.

    My guess would be that they do not appear in your file because it would be confusing for many people to make them in two places.

    If you want in the Favorites, open iCloud Drive and drag them in the sidebar here.

    All about iCloud drive has been saved on your Mac. With the exception of the office and the Documents, they are in ~/Library/Mobile Documents. However, if you choose optimized storage, older documents are removed from your Mac. I don't know what is "old".

    ~/Documents and ~/desktop have new metadata indicating probably Finder does not display them in a Finder window, only in iCloud drive. They are not hidden in one of the normal methods of unix.

    I have not tested Time Machine or any other backup program. The folder still exist in your directory home, and they still have all the files, I don't think that changes anything.

  • All Windows XP Documents and Settings folder names caps

    We use XP in a business environment. Recently, we have noticed that some user in "Documents and Settings" folders on a particular machine have changed randomly to be appointed with all caps. This causes problems with their profiles. What could have caused this?

    In addition, some files have changed to say the username followed by a point and our domain name. Do not know what is happening. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

    Windows keeps cases in the names of files and folders, but when you access to files and folders, it is case-insensitive (i.e. upper/lower case is not serious).

    Records of the changing profile of user name directly to a username followed by a point and a domain name, on the other hand, comes following a corrupt user profile.  Corrupted user profiles usually occur as a result of (or comes from) the corruption of the file system.  Corruption of system files may result in the capitalization of the problems that you notice.  To recover a corrupted user profile, choose your method of the following:
