File "recently changed".

I have Vista Home Premium and all recently discovered, in my case "Recently changed" under my 'computer', much (800 +) .jpeg and .xml files images I didn't upload or have no idea whence they came. In fact, I don't know yet is what a .xml file. However, it seems these files to download on my computer whenever they want (usually at start-up). Among these files unwanted are files that I use and that you have changed recently, but most are unknown to me. I figured that some virus/malware, but, using AVG Free that I installed, it found nothing. What is happening and how to stop it and remove all those unwanted downloads?

Try to install Malwarebytes anti-malware , it seems to stop connections to my computer, I use a P2P program download and it constantly throws a ball upward on the lower right corner, indicating correctly blocked potentially malicious Web site: xx.xxx.x.xxx. Weather this fixed your problem or not, it's a good program running on your computer, and you can use it free or pay for a version full way AVG.

  • How can I delete my folder "recently changed" without deleting all my files?

    Hi I just want to have a clear "recently changed record" so no one can snoop on me? I have curious people around me. Is there a way to clear the record without losing everything? should I highlight all and delete? Thank you.

    I'd say just delete the entire contents of the C:\Users\\searches folder (where the recently modified record is kept). That will NOT delete your files. The above method is better than becaese the list to delete the shortcuts (which has everything in recent xxxxx files) will never updated again.
    Delete the contents of the recently modified files will not remove files that their link.

  • in my file has changed recently, I constantly abt 10 thous of the jpeg & xml documents that are displayed.

    where they come from & how stop them from appearing. need me abt 1 HR to delete all the. Sharon R Bertling

    That's why I recommended the steps I did in my previous post - although it seems as if you have not yet tried.  They would systematically eliminiate possibilities for why these files keep re-appearance.  What AV program use you - I mean the one that you use are the Trojan horse in the first place (and I assume you are using yet)?  Do you remember the name of the virus?  It is possible that, despite the fact that you re-installed the system you likely to be infected (still or once again)-, that's why I have recommended to several programs different anti-malware initially.  The other stages are designed to verify your system files in an attempt to fix anything that causes this problem.  The last step is similar to a re - install except it does not affect your data, programs or settings - but will put your system to its original state (Yes, you will have a lot of updates to catch up) if all goes well after the first step to eradicate all remaining malware that may affect your system files and caused this problem (or still cause this problem).

    When you say that you get a completely different window when you type anywhere - do you hear when you perform an advanced search by clicking the search everywhere hyperlink?  What is the difference - I mean, what is different about it?  You can send us a screenshot?  Generally, research shows the folders and files and don't separate them into folders as folder recently changed (even though it may include elements that it contained - especially one request search everywhere).  If yours are separated in a recently modified file list then that certainly does not work according to the specifications (and makes me think the malware system file changes or malicious software).  Which version of Windows Vista you're using (I have 32 bit Vista Business SP2)?

    Thank you.  Please answer these questions and try these procedures.  We will do our best to help you, but we need your help.

  • Masses of jpeg files, unwanted in "recently changed".

    file can not find hereMasses

    Masses of jpeg files, unwanted in "recently changed".  Impossible to delete, get the message that they are no longer at this location.  Where did they come from?  How can I get rid of them?

    Do you mean recent items on the Start Menu, or do you mean C:\Users\\Recent?  Are these these files recognize you or are they all strange to you?  I don't know where they came from-maybe there was a mistake in the Vista program or maybe they came to the temporary internet files or it could be a variety of reasons - it is very difficult to say.  It would be useful to know if you all recognize.

    First of all, I would make sure that the original files are all where they are supposed to be and do not have somehow been transferred.

    Try using one of the following free products to remove the files.  Unlocker to:http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml or file Assassin http://www.malwarebytes.org/fileassassin.php (with or without forcing the deletion: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/12/27/force-delete-cannot-delete-locked-or-in-used-files-or-folders-with-fileassassin/). These programs often work when normal functions remove Vista not work correctly.  After back if none of these programs does not work to remove the files either.

    I do one and then confirm that it has been also removed from its normal location.  Then try a couple just to be safe.  Once you are sure that the originals are not as well removed, then you can delete everything else.  If the originals ARE deleted, we have a different problem.  Post back and we'll try to solve it.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Stop the "Recently changed" archive in your history folder

    Do all the files that you use or access appear automatically in the folder "recently changed"? Can you stop the files to be indexed in this file?  I also have files that I've trashed and yet they still appear in the recently changed folder.  What can I do about it?  Can I change the properties to stop this archiving of my story?

    There is no list. The system will search the index file and creates it each time you click the search folder. Everything is stored in the search folder are the instructions on how to perform the search.

    The index should contain only references to the files that have been deleted. Maybe now you have reset those will stop to reappear.

    You can also try this Fixit http://support.microsoft.com/mats/windows_search/en-us

    If you do not want the index must be created, you can use one of the following methods of indexing:

    http://www.mydigitallife.info/disable-and-turn-off-Windows-Vista-search-indexer-and-indexing-service/

    This can affect performance and remove other features of the system.

    There is nothing don't delete you saved search folders. This will not remove the underlying files. See this article for more information:

  • Recently changed research - lack of elements

    This research has been working well - I use it often to find modified files I need to back up and made sure the indexing options point to all the necessary records.

    But now with some extension - .cap (Capella Notation software) that I started to use the files do not appear. I checked the list of File Types in indexing options (tools of research... Indexing options... Advanced... File types) and the extension (.cap) is checked and it appears with the appropriate icon.

    Also the affected folders are indexed - other files in the same folders are appearing in their correct (by date) position in the research recently changed. The problem file appears in the search for indexed locations, it does not appear in the recently changed.

    Also, the properties of the appearance of the file OK - that of to say that they have the modified Date that appears correctly, and I created a copy of the file in the same folder, then change its extension .doc - makes it unusable, but just to check - and he appeared recently changed!

    It seems therefore that the extension is causing the problem?
    I have rebuilt the index, but this has not fixed the problem.

    Any suggestions much appreciated. Thank you

    It looks like types of unknown recorded files to windows do not appear on the recently changed. Two of my programs ProShow Producer and RoboMaster do not show their files in the recently changed folder that both have "Recent files" on their menus file. I tried to create a file to another MediaAvatar program that can create two files .html and .swf (both animated) types in a project, the two files have been properly saved to the desktop but checked the file change recently showed that the file .html as the .swf file wasn't there.

    The work around I found was to create a link to the file folder registered under favorite links by dragging the folder to the favorite links area the file when the blue text "create link in links" appears under the folder.

    It's something similar on the link below:

  • I can't find "Recently changed." Where is he?

    original title: "recently changed".

    I used to find photos to insert into the e-mail message with minor changes, then use "Recently changed" to go for them. Now I can not find "Recently changed." Where is he?

    You are referring to the research?

    C:\Users\your name\Searches\Recently Changed

    Missing from the directory? I can click with the right button on the files in this folder and paste it into Microsoft Outlook.

    Or if the link "Recently changed" is misssing go Explorer under "favorite links", try this:

    There is a line between 'Favorite links' (or missing too?) and 'Files' (left pane), place your mouse cursor on the "folders" (light blue) bar top, the cursor should change to a double-headed arrow, click and drag the border down, you should now see the "recently changed" and other links (in blue).

  • I recently changed the password on my Microsoft Account (aka Windows Live ID) and I can't connect is no longer in silver version Sunset

    I recently changed the password on my Microsoft Account (aka Windows Live ID) and I can't connect is no longer silver bed version of Sun.

    I tried both my old and new passwords several times. I checked that I use the correct password by signing in Outlook.com; MSN.com; etc - they all work, but I can not connect cash

    The problem is solved (for me at least) but not the way you suggested.

    First of all, some information more:

    It seems that the problem is that the local file (on my hard drive) of MS Money had an old password set in cache, and he was unable to recognize that the password has been changed (in the cloud) and so it must use this new password as a valid key to open the file.  It was weird - MS Money knew had changed my password (it wouldn't accept my old password) but he didn't have to use the new password either.

    I think it's partly because the silver Sunset version was never to be 'online' and in fact there are some recommendations when you install Money Sunset to stop using a Microsoft Account (and password) and just use a local (for this file only) user name and password if you wish.

    In any case, I was able to work around this problem by:

    [a] disconnected from the internet

    [b] opening of MS Money and signing with my old password

    In this way, MS Money failed to check online if my password has been changed, so he simply accepted my old password.

    As soon as I got the MS Money file, I changed it to stop using a Microsoft Account to access the file.

    I hope that makes sense and is useful to others out there who have had similar problems.

  • Cannot delete files or change the property

    I just installed Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit on two machines, then Firefox 16.0.1 on each. Trying to replace the password files in my new profile, I found that many of these folders and files (in User\me\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla) cannot be deleted, nor their right to property can be changed. They already belong to me, and I am an administrator with full control.

    I tried 72 towers, including Emco UnLockIt 3.0.3 Unlocker 1.9.1 key of registry Take Ownership takeown (from the command line), etc. Nothing works. I can't move, delete them or whatever it is. Neither can Mozbackup create a backup profile (it cannot write the backup).

    Why Firefox create these weird locked files and folders? Why does Windows 7 allows me to take control of them?

    I would appreciate help.

  • Missing files after changing computer with Adobe first Elements 9

    Hello

    I recently changed my computer, and I installed Adobe first Elements 9, I had on my old computer. I actually changed my computer hoping that it would be better, because she was always crashing on my old computer. I tested it, I created a new project and everything went very well. But of course, I also want to continue my old editing projects. The problem is that, even if my library is organized as with my old computer, Adobe Premiere is not able to associate the files in my projects at their source. If each of my files (sounds, videos, music, effects) are not recognized, and I need to restore one by one by clicking on them and the research in my library. Now, I quickly realized that I could not go that way, because I'm editing of thousands of files.

    But I have trouble believing that there is no way first can recognize files by itself, like iTunes can do when the music is missing. I mean, first knows exactly how the missing files are supposed to be, then why couldn't he find them? Does this mean that if my computer was broken, I could not able to change my old projects on a new? This makes no sense.

    Thanks in advance,

    MrJoshameeGibbs

    MrJoshameeGibbs

    Thanks for the reply.

    To check the version... Please open Premiere Elements in his chronology workspace. Go to Menu Help / about Premiere Elements. The top of the screen that opens should include a version 9.0.1 if you have downloaded and installed version 9.0.1 and work from it.

    Please consider the following strategy and see if it solves the problem... just do it for a project as a series of tests...

    1. back to the computer 1, open your project and determine that it opens with the media source associated with the project.

    2 create a folder "copied" using File Menu/project Archiver and its choice of copy a project.

    3 transfer the folder "copied" 2 hard drive... maybe with USB Flash drive.

    4. Ouvrezledossier "copied" on computer 2, find the project file (PREL), right click, select open with, and then Adobe Premiere elements 9.0.

    The project opens in the Adobe Premiere elements 9.0 on the computer 2 with all its current source media?
