Files and folders with the same name

I am trying to unzip some files and folders and it works fine on my computer with Windows XP. However, when you use Windows Vista I can't because there are folders and files with the same name. After an internet search, it seems that the only suggestion is to extract the files in separate folders which then would allow them to keep the same name. The problem is I want what they in the same folder and they need to have the names they have.

NOTE: I do have two files with the same name in the same folder, I have a folder and a file with the same name. I would have thought that this would be acceptable because they are two things separate, and given that it's great under XP.

All solutions?

You are right, if I make a file and a text file with the same name, it works fine. However, when I try to extract the files I need it tells me that there is already a file with the same name as the folder. He goes to tell me to choose a new name but my only options are 'try again', 'jump' or 'Cancel '.

I think I can understand what the problem is. For some reason when you download the zip file, the computer seems to have added a few files side with any format other than "file." It is those who have the same name as the folders as if they were, and they could not be uncompressed because of this. I have no idea whence they came as they appear from nowhere (compared to my XP). I'm trying now unzip the files separately and exclude the strange s 'file '.

Thanks for your help though!

  • Mix records with the same name of the internal and external space (clip +)

    Hello

    I have a question regarding the reading of 'File': if having a folder on the inside and external space microsd, both are named "graphics". Is it possible to shuffel these 2 files with the same name? There are also a few other folders I want to be included, so I just couldn't use the "play all" option. I don't want to use replay by id3tag because mines are always screwed up and would be a lot of work to mark all the appropriate files in the.

    Thanks for help

    m.

    I've not played with playlists much.

    If ID3 tags are all screwed up, I would use the MP3tag utility to change the label of the kind in "Charts" on internal and external memory, then you access the kind-> just Charts and play at all.  It is probably not an option if your labels are blank and you don't want to ruin you, but it's really quick & easy to do with MP3tag.

    I think that even Windows Explorer (XP/Vista) can change the field type in the batch (select all 'charts' music files, click right properties, summary (Advanced) tab change the field of its kind in "Charts", OK).  I keep the ID3tags 'good' on my PC, but edit on my player according to the needs.

    Just another idea which is really easy if you're not afraid of screwing the ID3 tags.

  • Return of the mistake of MUSE: why do we not have several files with the same name?

    Well - I thought I had all this worked and fixed, but I met the download error 'Why do we have several files with the same name' once again.  (I downloaded all the files several times today in order to 1) works the way it worked the last time and 2) get an OAM file that is not loading for some reason any load again and the download takes about an hour to transfer all the files manually.

    To recap:

    (1) an option "Upload only modified files" returns the 'Muse has encountered an error and closes.  Why do we have several files with the same name? "error just as before.

    (2) a full download will work but takes forever and is NOT a substitution for work changed files option.

    Please advise with possible solutions!

    Is it possible to have two .oam different files in different folders on your computer where the .oam files have the same name? I'm theorizing that there may be a bug in the treatment to ensure the folder created for a .oam placed on the server receives a unique name, particularly in the case of a partial update of the site on the server.

    Please send us the .muse file and all the files in .oam related to [email protected] along with a link to this topic for the context so we can attempt to reproduce this error and isolate the root cause. If files are larger than 20 MB, you'll need to use a service such as Adobe send & Track, Dropbox, creative cloud, WeTransfer, etc. file sharing. Thank you.

  • where to save the files under options the file name is duplicated how to remove an additional folder with the same name

    Under Options in Firefox, I clicked on save the files under downloads, but the file name twice and an additional file with the same name is created in the folder, i.e.:

    G:\Akbar's Songs\HAMARA DOWNLOADS\HAMARA FORUMS DOWNLOADS FORUMS

    Also the music files, I download from a site of downloads as a WinRar file and I need to open it. Y at - it an option where the file opens automatically in the folder I chose?

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Hi Akush, when you install 7 - zip, make itself the default application to open .zip and .rar files. So if you double click on the .rar file, it should open in 7 - zip. If you prefer to decompress immediately, right click the file and look for new 7 - zip items in the menu. I can't think of a way to do this automatically, however.

  • Renaming of files exe with the same name

    I have

    just installed a game on steam.  The package ended up being buggy, so it did not work.  But I found a solution on the Forum and he told me to rename these two files exe under the same name.  Its the only way to fix the game.  Others did and cela worked.  When I try to rename the file an error pops up telling me that I can't have two files with the same name.  In summary, this is what is happening.

    two files are: prince of persia.exe and princeofpersia_launcher.exe .

    Need to rename it to princeofpersia_launcher.exe to the prince of persia.exe

    An error pops up saying ERROR RENAME FILE or FOLDER: cannot rename princeofpersia_launcher: a file with the specified name already exists.  Specify a different file name.

    The problem is that these two exe files MUST have the name of prince of Persia: work.  Is it possible that I could do?

    It is not possible to have two files with the same name in the same folder.  Something is wrong with the instructions that you try to follow.  What do say exactly?  Can you give us a link for them?

  • All with the same name and more many nested directories

    Ideas: when trying to install Window7 it cannot be installed because of a folder and its subfolder had the same name... called a duplicate. There is a process to find duplicates files which takes you back to Vista to correct the problem. However my name of the folder's subfolders 28 user/name/photos/images/pictures etc all with the same name. When you try to delete more are added. There were files, but I moved to them but there is now way to delete the files. Strange but true. Help to install Windows 7, they should be deleted.

    First try to run a disk check. Open the computer and right click on the drive,
    choose Properties, Tools tab, and then under check errors click check now and
    Follow the prompts.

  • DISABLE "there is already a file with the same name to this place.

    Window 7. 64 bit. How do you turn OFF DISABLE, CANCEL, DELETE, STOP the pop-up 'MOVE the FILE'?

    As a user since the days of DOS command lines and having had a routine all the way through to XP, this new window is one of the most annoying pop ups for an experienced user. If it isn't a swith toggle check box or an other power selection for this message, there must be. And if there is, you did it quite hard to find.

    The dialog box that appears in Windows 7 that starts with "there is already a file with the same name to this place. It lists then the three choices - "Copy and replace", "Do not copy" and "copy, but keep both files.

    I managed several libraries of forms which oblige me to replace the files throughout my day. I make a copy of the file I replace first of all, for archival purposes and this pop-up box is, well, it's boring. There must be a way to disable.

    This box comes up to move files and to copy the files.

    Any help in these turn off would be appreciated.

    See you soon.

    The problem is the result of a mixture of case-sensitive and case-insensitive between how files within the .oam are put into interaction with and what is written in the muse_manifest.xml file during a re - download full compared to an incremental download.

    -J' I manually open an image.

    -The script will look for a file with the same name in another folder that I've specified.

    -The script will then select the channel CMYK of the second file and copy and paste it into the first file.

    -The second file is then closed without saving the changes.

    I have problems with the part where the script searches for a file with the same name as the opened file. I would really appreciate help. Thanks in advance.

  • Server data store will automatically get updated when the new file (with the same name) is placed in the landing area


    Hi guys,.

    The data store server-side will get automatically updated when a new file with the same name is loaded in the landing area?

    for example

    1 data store created for server-side get the file named UK.xls (he has 5 rows)

    2 snapshot created for the above data store

    3. created with the snapshot process

    After that if I remove 2 lines from the same file and load again to the landing (with the same name). So by re-running the process will take the last file OR do I need to reload the file in the data store every time when there is a change in the file. We also tried with option to work but the last file was not picking up.

    Any help will be really appreciated.

    Please lets us know your updates.

    Please advice

    Thank you

    VT

    Hello

    When you create a snapshot, you create a snapshot whose task (provided that you use a data store server-side) can be run from a job. To refresh the data, run the snapshot in a job task. If you create a task at the time the snapshot and the processes that use it, they will automatically connect and will be 'upstream' data through the snapshot in the process. You can then choose whether it would be appropriate to write the snapshot or not (for the effectiveness of performance if you want to do the straight through processing) by activating or deactivating the bucket of data staged that the snapshot written to. The snapshot in the work task means that the data is refreshed.

    For the work of design to the Director, you can refresh the snapshot by running again it manually in the context menu.

    Kind regards
