Explorer Windows Vista refuses to rename the folder

Windows Vista Edition Home Premium - Windows Explorer often but not always refuses to rename a folder. Sometimes, it will allow me to create a new folder and copies the files in all, but sometimes refuse to allow me to delete the older copies. This happens even when I run explorer.exe as administrator. Any ideas?

Suggestions:

Run a file system check to see if it can find some bad files and if he can fix it for you.
Directions for use:

Start button > Search box type cmd > look up, do a RIGHT click oncmd.exe > click onRun As Administrator > in this window cmd black and white, type at the prompt flashing sfc/scannow > press theENTER key.
Note: there is a space between 'sfc' and ' / '.
To sit and wait. It will take time.
When finished, exit the cmd window.
Reboot (restart your computer)
After the hell of a file, see if you still have the same problem.

See also, what said result sfc/scannow. If he says he finds wrong files, but impossible to fix, then you can download the CBS.
Here's how:
In the SAME elevated command prompt window, copy and paste this command line...
Notepad C:\windows\logs\cbs\cbs.log
then press the Enter key.
(if you have to type the command, please note that there is a SPACE between 'Notepad' and 'C')
Your cbs log will appear in the window of Notepad.
I'm NOT qualified to analyze the CBS. Here's a link Support MS that will help you:

  • How Windows Explorer can be configured to browse the folder hierarchy instead of behaving like a browser?

    I work with files in a folder tree.  I want to browse this folder hierarchy, just as I did in the original copy of Windows Explorer in Windows XP.  I want to use the arrow keys to navigate up and down, and when I'm in a folder and click the previous button, I want it to go up one level in the folder hierarchy, just like he used to.

    Now, when I hit the 'back' button, Windows Explorer behaves as a browserand goes to the last folder that I have read.

    It's so frustrating!  She interrupts my thought process and the movement of my work.  If I wanted to use a browser, I use Internet Explorer.

    How Windows Explorer can be configured to browse the folder hierarchy instead of behaving like a browser?  Remember the "unwebified" of Windows XP Windows Explorer version?  This is what I want so I can get back to work effectively.

    Windows Explorer 7 does not have the up button like XP, however, in the address bar you can select the folder in the hierarchy (sometimes called the trail of bread crumbs) to return.

    Windows 8 added the arrow pointing upwards.

  • Rename the folder to the user files

    In Vista, I can't rename a folder of the user.  This computer used to be used by someone else, and I can't rename the folder so everything I do Gets the tag with his name on it.  I changed the name of the computer and log in name.  Can I change any other user except this one folder.  Any ideas how to rename this folder?

    It sounds like a problem with permissions for me (he does not resemble a corrupted profile) - you try to use its files under your user name and the system wants as his user name.  The solution is to give your full user name to all records in his profile and then to take possession of all the files in the profile - then you will have the rights you need.

    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).  This should also give you access to open and work with all of the files in these filders, as if they were in your file.  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/.

    You can also create a folder in your profile named username of the other person and move the files in this folder.  He needs to pick up the permissions and attributes of the new folder (YOUR user profile folder) and you won't need to go to his profile whenever you want to get one of his records.  You may still need to change the permissions and/or ownership if you do this - it would be just to make things easier and quicker to access.

    Good luck and I hope this helps!

    Only time that happens, in my limited, knowledge is... If you use a 'illegal' name, such as ":" symbol. There are symbols, that you cannot use as part of a name. When this happens, you should get a warning indicating that the name is not allowed, something to that effect. Then he returns itself back to the new folder.
    Suggest you try again with conventional names. See if it works or not.

  • Windows 7 doesn't remember the folder views.

    original title: Windows 7 doesn't remember the folder views. Microsoft is pathetic.

    Once more, I find it quite pathetic that Microsoft Windows 7 as Vista, such as Windows XP and all other operating systems M$ has developed can not EVEN remember the layout for the records.

    What is THE POINT of having more customization options in solution for users to set, Explorer if your code Explorer STUPID don't even BOTHER to remember. Users bother to customize their desktops and file only to discover that their work is broken as soon as the PC restarts or in Windows 7 Decides to forget or to crush stuff in the registry.

    It is also pathetic that M$ has removed most of the "individual" customization of Windows XP folder now opt for a "point of view fits all approach!". (Ie the deletion of the folder option "View tab / remember this layout of records"). I can't decide if a file opening should have the "Navigation bar" to the left. Now, if a folder has the navigation bar, hey look, ALL MY FILES open with the navigation bar now! Yay! NOT.

    Even with this, HE has YET to forget every customization that you made to your files!

    Things going on in my head when I'm on Windows 7:

    Mmmm. I'd like my account to have this icon or bitmap image please. There we go, very nice. Reset. Mmmm. Why is he returned to show all the file type icons in this new folder. Oh God, worst yet! NOW ALL MY FILES ARE RETURNED TO THE DETAILS VIEW. B * llocks, I've spent hours a lot, a lot, a lot (over time) establishing this batch! Gee thanks to shake me more M$. You've obviously spent a lot of money and many hours asking your BETA users which would p * ss them off the most when you use Windows Explorer. Voice of tester beta geek: "uh Yes, I think I was very p * ssed if all of a sudden he returned for more details on all my folders in Explorer. Microsoft: "OK, we're going to take care to include that then...". "Everything what is p * ss you off." Geek: "Yes, while your at it, if the navigation bar appears on EVERY issue and doesn't even have a shortcut key, so I had to reach for my mouse and go to a menu rather than quickly display and hiding cases of need, which would probably be p * ss me off really bad." Microsoft: ' hey this is a great idea!

    Folder view settings should be remembered INDIVIDUALLY for the love of God, on a folder by folder basis.

    I think that the removal of this option, and becomes the fact that Microsoft have removed code rather that actually fixing the code first place is a sign of how pathetic software from Microsoft.

    I hope Apple start to develop their PC rather than just Apple Mac operating system sometime in the future.

    It will ultimately be the nail in the coffin for Micro$ and personally, I'll be happy to see the back of them.

    I'm a PC and I am upset that Microsoft Windows Explorer doesn't bother to remember how I presented my files.

    If you want to know what I'm talking about m $ look the Apple Mac operating system and copy what they do (you know, the usual).
    At least they seem to know what I'm talking about.

    If you think I'm the only one who is upset at this by the way: http://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&source=hp&q=windows+7+remember+folder+settings&btnG=Google+Search&meta=&aq=0&oq=Windows+7+remember+folder&fp=a60718907b4ba39b

    21.5 million users would disagree with you.

    DESIRED EFFECT

    To have a folder and its subfolders all use the same view model AND having the view model to reflect the disposal of one of the folders.

    WHAT YOU NEED TO DO

    First, you must realize that Win7 treats these two very different applications:

    1. make subfolders use the same model from view as the parent folder.

    2 configure how a view model is laid out.

    My confusion is I thought that changing the layout of the folder parent by clicking on 'Apply to subfolders' it applies to the layout of the parent folder, but all it's means "all look to the model of display as well as the parent folder.

    Understand that when you say "optimize this folder for: * music *" IT IS NOT AUTOMATICALLY CHANGE THE LAYOUT of the folder! Only it it's a music folder (or general or images or other) and ALL TIME NOW ON the time the * music model is changed (via right click on any * music folder > organize menu > folder and search options > view tab > apply to records) THEN the layout PAGE ONLY will be updated.

    So unfortunately, Xaero_Payne solution by itself will result in the 'problem' that everyone here seems to have. You do BOTH steps to make it work. (I know it's easy to chatting about M$, but instead of pi$ $ in the wind at home, we can as well get into their heads and understand how to use what we have).

    STEP BY STEP

    You can do these two processes in any order, but I want to do such as this, because I can then more easily see changes. For the example below, I'll do their music files and I'll apply the Details view template.

    R process: make subfolders using same view model

    Right-click on the Parent folder that contains all of the subfolders > properties > Customize tab > check also apply... subfolders > select * music * (for this example) > apply then OK

    Process 1: Customize and apply the provision of fashion model music

    Find or create a folder you want to use the view model.

    Select them * details * view (or list, large icons, etc.) and then customize the layout as you wish. Add new desired columns and rearrange them as you like.

    Organize the menu > folder options and research > display tab > apply to records. THIS MAY BE THE MOST IMPORTANT OF THIS PROCESS because otherwise he doesn't know you want ALL the * music * files to be like this.

It only happens with Vista. Y at - there anyone who can help?

    Hi coolis,.
     
    There are many steps that we could try to try the basic step, it will take place the computer in a State of clean boot, put the computer in a clean boot state followed the following steps:
     
        Step 1: Perform a clean boot

    Log the computer by using an account with administrator rights.

    b. Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.
     
    c. under the general tab, click Selective startup, and then clear the check box load startup items. (The check box use the file Boot is not available.)
     
    d. on the Services tab, click to select the skin all the Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all.

    Note following this step lets Microsoft services continue to operate. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use to restore the system with the existing restore points.
     
    e. click OK and then click on restart.
     
    Once you reboot check if the problem is solved in the clean boot state.
     
    If the problem occurs not in a State of boot, follow these steps to diagnose the component program or start that is causing the problem.

    Step 2: Enable half of the service

    Follow steps 1a and 1B to start the System Configuration utility.

    Click the Services tab, and then click to select the skin all the Microsoft services checkbox.

    Click to select half of the check boxes in the Service list.

    Click OK and then click on restart.

    Step 3: Determine whether the problem returns

    If the problem persists, repeat steps 1 and 2. In step 2, click to clear half of the check boxes that you have initially enabled in the Service list.

    If the problem does not occur, repeat steps 1 and 2. In step 2, select only half of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the Service list. Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes.

    If only one service is selected in the list of services, and you the problem persists, the service selected the cause of the problem. Go to step 6. If no service is causing this problem, go to step 4.

    Step 4: Enable half of the startup items

    Perform a clean boot by repeating step 1.

    Click the Startup tab, and then click to select half of the check boxes in the startup item list.

    Click OK and then click on restart.

    Step 5: Determine whether the problem returns

    If the problem persists, repeat steps 1 and 4. In step 4, click to clear half of the check boxes that you have originally selected in the startup item list.

    If the problem does not occur, repeat steps 1 and 4. In step 4, select only half of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the startup item list. Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes.

    If only one startup item is selected in the startup item list, and you still experience the problem, start selected in the list element is the service that is causing the problem. Go to step 6.

    If no startup item causes this problem, a Microsoft service most likely the cause of the problem. To determine which Microsoft service may be the cause of the problem, repeat step 1 and step 2 without selecting the skin all the box Microsoft services at every step.

    Step 6: Resolve the problem

    After you determine the startup item or the service that is causing the problem, contact the manufacturer of the program to determine if the problem can be solved. Or, run the System Configuration utility, and then click to clear the check box of the element of the problem.

    Step 7: Reset the computer to start as usual

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

    On the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

    When you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  • Windows Vista PC keeps filling the disk space

    Windows Vista PC keeps filling the disk space, but programs like Treesize and Windows Explorer are not all of the additional files.

    The disc has about 45 GB of files, but the 220 GB drive is almost full. I suspect that a program will create orphaned files. CHKDSK is currently suspended from the second pass. Will try to run until the end of the day to the next.

    I turned on the hidden files and protected, it is not that I can't see the files. What can account for 150 + GB of invisible disk space?  Indexing of Windows seems to be active, although the C drive was marked to not be indexed.

    I know that a temporary internet file (content.ie5) is doubly hidden. Who had only 50 MB in it, so it's not the culprit. Any other hidden super-fichiers that everyone knows.

    Running Trend Micro PC-Cillin. The history of this creation of orphaned files?

    All the tools that look right at the MFT to see what is using the disk space and the avoidance of the directory tree?

    This isn't a matter of a few directories being wholesale, or clean old files. The space used is not anywhere to be found.

    Already run cleaning ccleaner and disk. Empty temporary files, Recycle Bin, etc. Only restore point. Registry clean with ccleaner.

    Never did anything on computer that could use 150 GB of space.

    If you look at just the computer, you can see disappearing disk space (maybe 1 GB an hour).

    Always seems to happen if you disconnect from the internet.

    Friend PC, so I did not have immediate access to it.

    Whence the free number 'space '? I'm just that an orphan file will not be displayed in a search in directories or with Treesize, but will use up to 'free space '?

    No sign of a virus.

    Hello

    Were there any changes made on the computer before the show?

    I suggest to refer to the article and try to defragment the hard disk:

    Improve performance by defragmenting your hard drive

    I understand that you have already scanned the hard drive with anti-virus software, although I suggest you try to run an online scan and check if it helps:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again. The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    O if not create you the file, you may not be able to delete it, even if it appears in the Public folder. If this is the case, you must ask the owner of the file to delete.

    O in addition, you cannot remove a file (or the folder that contains it) if the file is currently open in a program. Make sure that the file is not open in any program, and then try again to delete the file.

    Why can't I delete a file or a folder?

    I suggest you try the following steps:

    Ensure that you do not play the file when you try to remove it.

     

    Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode and then try to remove

    Start the computer in safe mode, to do this, follow the steps below,

    Access the menu advanced startup options by turning on your computer and pressing the button F8 before Windows starts. In the advanced startup options select safe mode

    Step 2: The corruption of the file system prevents access to the file

     

    You will not be able to delete the file if the file system is damaged. To resolve this problem, run the Chkdsk utility on the disk volume to correct any errors.

    Run the disk check to repair bad sectors on the hard disk.

    a. Click Start, in the start search bar type cmd, right-click on the command prompt icon in the box programs and then click Run as administrator.

    b. at the command prompt, type chkdsk /f and then press ENTER.

    Now, type chkdsk/r

     Note: CHKDSK would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular area.

  • How do I rename the folder of bookmarks 'Unsorted Bookmarks '? or add a folder at this level?

    With the help of Windows8 Firefox EU euballot - 1.1.
    Try to rename the folder of bookmarks 'Unsorted Bookmarks'? or add a folder at this level?
    I tried the suggestions in the forum (ie. Shift ctrl B); access to the file through library; all no chance.

    When you try to add a new folder on the same level as the 'Unsorted Bookmarks' folder, the new folder appears in the folder "Unsorted Bookmarks" and not on the same level.

    Something that I missed?
    Thanks for your suggestions.

    I do not recommend this. IIRC, users have mentioned that this folder has been renamed, when they started a new "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder has been created automatically when Firefox.
