Empty folder "back" after that I erase it

A few months ago, a friend downloaded some pictures on my laptop via bluetooth and saved in a regular folder in my documents. I tried to remove this folder several times but he returns. I also tried to empty the folder, and then delete it, but keeps the empty folder. I also tried to cut and paste the folder and remove it to a new location, but the folder still reappears in its original location. I even emptied the Recycle Bin, but no luck. I don't know what to do! As it comes to my laptop I'm the admin and I 'permission' to do something.

Try using the free product to remove the folder.  Unlocker to:http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml.  Sometimes this program of work where the normal Vista programs is not.  It's worth a shot.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

    I have a folder of files in local folders that keeps reappearing after that I erase it. I tried to fix the folder several times. Any suggestions?

    This is the name of a folder? Who will be in a file name in your file system. Given his situation, is it possible or likely that the total path length exceeds the limit of the operating system?

    For example: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/file-names-extensions-faq#1TC=windows-7

    This is not to talk about any other limit which may be inherent in the way that Thunderbird uses names of files internally.

    In your position, I explore the Thunderbird profile and check paths, as they appear in the file manager. You should be able to remove all folders that are unwanted here also.

    My Eureka has been using netsh, explains Superuser.com «How to completely remove a wireless network from Vista» Everything I found on the Microsoft site doesn't give any examples on how to find profiles (netsh wlan name) or the statement appropriate to remove this profile (netsh wlan dlete name = "the name exactly as shown, case-sensitive quotes". That he solved it for me.

  • The song after that I erase it, reappears in Windows Media Player?

    Here's my problem, when I delete a song in Windows media player, it immediately reappears in WMP. I have my file location indicated in one of the column and it shows in the recycling bin, the problem is that I have to delete it again to make it permanently removed and is very annoying to have delete twice. I have a Windows 7 Professional 64 bit machine. I tried to uninstall and re - install WMP, and that did nothing.

    Thank you

    Well I thought about it, I have all my music on an external hard drive, if you open the Recycle Bin, click organize on the tab, in the upper part and then click on properties, this opens properties recycling bin. All devices of storage on my computer are displayed. I chose my external HD and they chose the "do not move files to the recycling bin. Remove files immediately when they are deleted. "Now when I delete songs from WMP, I have to delete them once.

    I hope this helps others!
  • All the sounds that are specifically related to the Microsoft system works not-missing the system tray volume control and Accessories Entertainment empty folder.

    I have no volume control icon in the system tray and my Accessories Entertainment folder is empty.  I can play the sound through iTunes and VLC media player but is no longer the Player Windows Media can play CDs or mp3 files.  I have more Microsoft system sounds and the sounds of a large number of online streaming sites no longer play unless I can their route via iTunes or VLC media player.  Windows Media Player says missing codecs if I try to play mp3 files.  I have upgraded to Windows Media Player 11 to see if that would bring codecs, but without any result.

    My problems were not related to the missing CODECS.

    I knew the sound on my system was basically correct, given that I was able to listen to free VLC Player I downloaded to replace the Windows Media Player while he was not working.

    However, the solution to my problem of noise was really simple, but the answer was just very complicated track.

    I noticed that a lot of the chatter about similar problems on other forums was related to Adobe Flash Player.

    I had recently upgraded to the latest versions all Adobe products on my system.  I didn't make the connection that Adobe software could affect all the sounds of Microsoft.

    Finally, after doing a Google search on Adobe Flash Player issues, I found a partial solution:

    Here's an exact quote:

    Very well, the problem is really the wavemapper mapping in the registry of Windows such as reported by a member of the forum.

    All you have to do is to open the registry editor by going to start menu, run, type regedit, then Enter.
    After that, in Registry Editor, navigate yourself in the left pane until you reach

    My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32

    And then in the pane, right-click and click New, select string value, enter "wavemapper" (without the quotes, of course), ENTER, enter "msacm32.drv".
    Come in.

    Well, of course, it didn't work the first time. I received this message:

    the Registry Editor cannot rename the new value #1. The specified value name already exists. Type another name and try again

    I was puzzled for a while, until I saw someone in the forum with a similar problem mentioned that they had found a fix for this problem by granting permissions subkey. This led me to Google search for registry permissions.

    After that here, that's what I had to do, and although it seems that a lot of steps, it's really very simple:

    Once I had reached the drivers32 registry entry I pointed out the entry in the right pane. Mine said (default) REG_SZ (value not set). I then clicked on change on the Bar Menu and clicked on permissions on the menu drop down.

    This opens the permissions for Drivers32. I highlighted at the entrance of the Administration and click the Advanced button.

    This opens the "Advanced Drivers32 security settings. I made sure that I was under the permissions tab in this window. I noticed that the box called "inherit from parent the permission entries that apply to child objects. Include these with entries explicitly defined here"was checked. Yet once, I did ensure that the entrance of the Administration has been highlighted and then I clicked on the button change.

    This opens the "permission for Drivers32 entry. I chose "this key and subkeys" apply to: falling to the bottom of this window. Then, I checked the full control checkbox. I clicked on OK.

    I clicked on apply advanced Drivers32 window security settings.

    I clicked on apply permissions for Drivers32 window.

    Once that I had done it all a lot more entries appeared in the right pane for Drivers32 including my wavemapper entry. This is where all along; Quite simply, there is not all the permissions to do anything, including being in the registry pane.

    I left the registry and now all my sounds are back and the volume icon is once again in my system tray. Who would have thought?

    Hope this helps someone else.

    Hey, Wesley!

    I tried some time ago, and it will do no good. I returned periodically to ensure that it was not unchecked, but he didn't.

    Someone posted a response that a registry key has been corrupted and offered instructions on how to fix it. I ran utility troubleshooting, but that has not helped and was about to try to change the registry, but the message seems to have disappeared.

    I tried to reinstall Windows on Windows, but the installation stalled after starting the system successfully. He must have done something right, because each window remains now as I put it, so my problem seems to have disappeared.

    Thanks for your interest. If someone asked me, I would recommend refreshing Windows to solve the problem.

    How can I copy the folder my documents in my iCloud drive and then I sync the two after that?

    You can simply drag in iCloud reader, but I pass and move documents in their files app instead. It will probably take a while to download all documents.

    It is not a way to sync without some third party software that synchronizes folders, or learn how to use rsync in the Terminal.

    Instead of synchronization, simply use the iCloud drive in the 'Documents' folder after you move the files.
