Favorites folder is read-only after you move to C: drive for drive E:

After a completely successful installation of Vista, I moved the folder Favorites from my C: drive to my E: drive (because it is the one that contains all my data and is more secure against piracy, etc.).

However, since then, my favorites folder is read-only, and I'm unable to register new Favorites.
I messed up with the permissions on the Security tab, without success. Of course, I also tried to simply remove the tick in the read-only box and cascading changes to subfolders.
Once again, without success.

I even moved the folder back on the C: drive to see if that solved my problem. However, Vista seems to have copied the safe with her and I still cannot reset the read-only attribute.

I have two SATA drives in my PC (a 120 GB and a 500 GB (partitioned)) and I have not had this problem with previous versions of Windows.

Someone at - it ideas on how I can fix this without having to reinstall?
Thanks in advance.

Right-click on the file, choose "Properties".

Switch to the tab 'location '.
Click on the button "Restore Default". This should return the file to its original location, with security settings original.
The Favorites folder is one of the personal folders is working properly in its default location, as I discovered myself.

  • Profile of preferences given to 'Read only' after having turned it off.

    I can't start Firefox. He said: it is already running. The Task Manager shows all running instances. There is no "parent.lock" file '... default' folder. Every time I look at the preferences for the 'profile' folder, it shows 'read only' is defined. I erase it and next time I look at the 'read only' preferences is set.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox but it always resets "read only". Looks like the profile folder has something corrupt in it.

    Only a check mark in the box read-only means that a file or folder is read-only.

    Windows does check all files in a folder displays, instead of a green block to indicate that it is not safe.

    Always look at the files individually.

    Easier to do, it's to make the visible attributes in the mode "view details >": choose details in Windows Explorer.

    One possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox in the list of permissions in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

    Hello

    I installed an Alfred Workflow (see code below) that will mark all my mails as read. After you run it for a minute, the mail has crashed and I had to forcequit. However, now, when you open the Mail it crashes instantly, even after restart and repair the permissions. I also used the Ctrl + C and CTRL-Z commands in the Terminal to leave the alfred_script, but nothing helped. I'm running out of ideas here, so I hope you could help me either reinstall the mail.app. I could always just switch to a different mail application, but it's kind of a last resort.

    Code:

    Tell application "Mail".

    Define allAccounts on each account name

    Repeat with currAccount in allAccounts

    the unreadMboxes value (each mailbox to the account currAccount the unread number is not 0)

    Repeat with currMbox in unreadMboxes

    (read status of each message to currMbox including the playback State is set to false) true value

    end repeat

    end repeat

    tell the end

    Any input would be greatly appreciated. Can post the report of crash on demand.

    Not sure that Alfred's, but it's just an Applescript script and it would not cause Mail to be planted.

    However, when running through all the messages, it is possible Mail database has been corrupted and it crashes because of this.

    I'll probably get anything out of the accident report, but others might.

    My first instinct would be to rebuild the mailbox. Because you can't do that with him crashing, you can simply delete the databases and it will rebuild them.

    Navigate to this folder:

    ~/Library/Mail/v3/MailData/

    You can either manually through the files, or copy the full path and paste it into go the folder in the menu go to the Finder.

    Remove the envelope Index files. Open Mail and see if it works well.

    If your library does not appear in your folder, hold down the Option key and select library in the menu go to in the Finder.

  • Make all the text fields to read only after signing form

    Hello

    I have a form of direct cycle that must have all the defined text fields as read only after the signing.

    The java script has been placed in the sign post to a digital signature field event.

    for (var i = 0; i < this.numFields; i ++) {}

    NJC var = this.getNthFieldName (i);

    If (cNm.type = "text") this.getField (NJC) .readonly = true;

    }

    After signing the following the error in console form appears:

    this.getNthFieldName is not a function

    Can someone advise please how to change the script so that when the form is signed all text fields become ready only?

    Any help will be most appreciated.

    Thank you.

    You don't need any JavaScript to do this.

    In the designer, you can configure the field signature in this way, that all fields will be locked after the signing.

  • Texteelement read only after it retrieve records

    Hi I have situation where I lov which record recover and fill the folder to other fields I have what it takes to define this textitem to read after it retrieve records the user cannot go back and enter the value after recover data. so the situation is using pass code type textitem example 009 and tab after that the user cannot go back and type again the textitem should read only am in the form of oracle 11 g

    Hello

    If this element of text attached to the lov is a single block record, use the SET_ITEM_PROPERTY procedure with the UPDATE_ALLOWED = property_false property.

    If it is a multi-record block, use the SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY procedure with the UPDATE_ALLOWED = property_false property.

    So, the logic might be:

    IF: blk_name.textitem is not null THEN - assuming a valid value entered via lov (you can check this if you set the "Post to list" item text to true).

    SET_ITEM_xxxxxxx ('blk_name.textitem', UPDATE-ADMITTED, PROPERTY_FALSE);

    END IF;

  • How to keep the video selected after you move the playback cursor

    I use Flash CS5.5

    After selecting a Clip, the properties panel displays its properties. When you move the cursor reading by dragging the mouse, the properties of this Clip are still visible in the properties panel. But as soon as I stop dragging and release the button of the mouse, the properties panel changes - it now shows the properties of the motion tween.

    Is there a method to keep the selected Clip after dragging the playhead and do not pass the selection to the motion tween? That's because after dragging the playback slider I still need the Clip properties, so I need to select again and again after dragging the playhead.

    You forget entirely on the query editor.

    Query Editor window->.

    When you slide on your scenario, this shows you all the key properties and their values as well as real keyframes. This is where you should be inspect and adjust the values.

    It took me a while to return to flash animation and when I started the conversion from the classic Tween system to the new system of motion tween I didn't know that this sign existed. He brings Flash a little closer to After Effects (my favorite animation tool). It's a lot better that the classic tweens, it's safe.

  • Make the fields to a custom read-only after clickingsubmit button page to insert page

    Hi all

    I have a custom insert page. When the user enters and click on submit, I want to do all the other fields read-only except 'create another button of registration '.

    Also, I have a lov in my custom page, when the user selects invalid values, error messages will be displayed. My problem is same after displaying the error message, the user has the option to navigate to the order of the day and enter data and submit. How to prevent the user to navigate to the order of the day if the value entered is not valid.

    Please suggest your ideas.

    Option 1: Add a controller to the dynamic region and ad whereclause LOV to limit the LOV query, so that it will not allow the user to select the 100.

    Option 2: The LOV (if required), just remove the value of the element LOV LOV action, based on the State.

    I hope this helps.
