Files & folders not visible on the desktop or My Documents

I use my computer with Windows XP for the first time in a month.  My folders & files I had saved on my desktop are missing.  When I looked in My Documents, those that were also missing.  My entire office profile had been changed to the default «Dell» wallpaper

When I go to my computer - drive C:Local - Documents and Settings - MyName are all visible under the office folder and the My Documents folder.

How can I get my computer to where it was?

you could try running a system via the windows system restore point restore functionality and see if you can restore the computer to a time before that you went on a break

  • Creation of Mobile link is not Visible on the desktop browser

    I hope this makes sense.

    I have a mobile site with a link to my site Office. I also want to add a link to the mobile office site visitors back to the mobile site. But I don't want this visible link on a desktop browser... is visible on a mobile browser.

    You can see an example of this by going to tipb.com on a mobile device, scroll to the bottom and click on the "switch to regular theme", then do scroll down on this page, you will see a "switch to the Mobile Version" is not visible on a desktop browser.

    Hoping that it is quite simple.

    Thank you

    Hello

    For the moment I can think of two possible ways to do so, (there probably more).

    1. Use javascript of php to make the device 'sniff' and the relevant site with the link server, or a ssi to include the link for if you use php.
    2. Use of the media queries with the display of the corresponding link to visible/hidden as it fits the size of the screen.

  • Impossible to rename the files, folders or icons on the desktop... no error message

    System is Windows 7 on a laptop HP G70 (self installed) with Service pack 1.

    I'm unable to 'right click' on any file or folder or the desktop icon to rename.

    I began to restart the computer in safe mode and ran sfc/scannow the result was without error

    I rebooted and I still had the same problem. I removed the latest windows updates and rebooted.

    I can't rename it yet. I can delete files and create new files and copy the existing files.

    "I also have another odd question, my USB mouse work very erratically," click on "answers" fast light and tend to cause double windows to open.

    The two problems may be related.

    I'm not under any AV software, and I have installed a new software for more than two months before this problem which took place the 2014.03.03

    Any ideas or suggestions would be most appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello

    This problem could be related to the mouse settings. Try to change the speed of the mouse buttons and check if it helps:

    It will be useful. If you have additional questions on the computer, please ask your question about Windows and we will be happy to help you.

    Hi Rohit... Thanks for your reply.

    However, the problem is with the mouse itself. I went there with a mouse to another system of windows desktop 7 I and problems went away.

    Here's the weird part, I naturally assumed that I would see the same problems on the desktop.

    Much to my surprise the problems did not "transfer"!  the mouse that failed on the laptop is now working very well on the office... so I'll attribute it to the 'EMI of sunspots";-)

    Thanks again

  • My profile files are not visible in the Finder (OS x 10.10 &amp; previous). Can I fix?

    Mozilla help site instructions often start by locating the Thunderbird profile files. I see these from within Tbird and with a Terminal command, but not with the Finder. Why not? I think I have the message index corruption, but I can't delete the file index as directed.

    When you select help/troubleshooting information and click on "View file", doesn't the profile folder open in the Finder?

    Rather than delete the msf to index, you can rebuild them by right-clicking on a folder in the folder Repair, TB, properties.

    You store the mail belonging to "a folder for each email account" in the profile?

    In other words, have you changed the "Local Directory" setting for these accounts?

  • Can I transfer my file to outlook express on the desktop?

    I currently have outlook express on my laptop.  I recently purchased a top of desktop with Windows 7.  Can I transfer my file to outlook express on the desktop?

    Windows Live Mail is the replacement of the so-called for Outlook Express and Windows Mail for Vista. Personally, I can't stand it and use Thunderbird, but it's my preference, and who knows, you might like WLMail.
     
     
     
     
    Support for Windows Live Mail can be found here.
     
     
    Others include, Pegasus, Eudora, Opera and much more.
     
     
    If you go with WLMail, here are the instructions. More detailed information is available in the forum WLMail.
     
     
    Transfer of data from Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail:
     
    For Messages:
     
    Copy the * ENTIRE * OE message store folder to a flash drive. (Folders.dbx must be included). Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail. Open WLMail and: file | Import | Messages | Microsoft Outlook Express 6, and the point where it was saved.
     
    Location of OE message store:
     
    In OE: Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.
     
    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.
     
    For addresses:
     
    Open the address book in OE and file | Export | Address book (wab) and save it to the desktop. Copy it to a flash drive. Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail.
     
    Open the Contacts list in WLMail, (go |) Contacts in the Menu bar) and the file | Import | Address book (wab) Windows and the point where you saved it.
     
    Note: If you use a CD or a DVD instead of a flash drive, after placing on the new machine you must remove the read-only attribute in the properties before you import.
     
    For the account settings:
     
    In OE: Tools | Accounts, select the account and export it to the desktop. This will be an .iaf file. Copy it to the new computer and WLMail desktop: tools | Accounts and import the settings from the location you saved the.

     
  • Can be restored to shared folders "not shared" in the world?

    After the opening of Windows Movie Maker (not 'Live' verson, but that came as part of the Vista operating system), most folders and files under Documents, photos, music and videos now appear as folders and files with the images of the two men little superimposed above icons of folders and files.  Is it possible to restore these folders and files inside the way they were before; that is, simple icons?  Even the icons .jpg and .pdf are overlays.

    If I right click on a folder, select "Share" and then "Stop sharing", a box comes up and says that the process will take several minutes.  A few minutes later the box indicates that the files inside are still shared, how I then select all the files and start the process again.  After several minutes more files are not shared, but the record is back to be shared again.  So I do the process to file a second time, but after a few minutes the box indicates that the folder could not be shared.  Help!

    Finally, I realized that for me.  With Windows Explorer, click a shared folder in the left pane so that all shared files are visible on the right.  Select (highlight) all the files, then right click on one and when the window opens, click on: "share...." ».  Then click on: "Stop sharing" and to sit back and wait a few minutes.  I have no idea why, but it takes for-ev-er to run the "stop sharing".  Once the files 'no sharing', then you right click on the folder and do the same thing with her.  Be prepared to spend a lot of time to exercise, according to the number of files shared.

    Always start at the lowest level (deeper?) and backward from there.  You can not cancel sharing a folder until all the files inside are shared.

    Yet once, which required all this simply opened the program Windows Movie Maker comes with Vista.  Of course, it goes through your hard drive and share all the files that could never have no interaction with the Movie Maker program... same word .doc and .pdf files.

  • Share photos added to the photo library via the menu are not visible on the Photos

    Hello

    I started using DxO OpticsPro 10 to process Raw files. When I used the share menu in this application to "Add photo" pictures are exported but not visible in the Photos app. I see that they are in the photo library (Show Package Contents > Masters), but they are not visible in the Photos in the Photos app. However if I use "Export to Application" instead of "Add photo" in DxO OpticsPro the Photos app opens and the image is visible.

    You can't always do and changes directly to the photo library - you must use the program of Photos to import photos - adding photos to the library has no positive effect (and may even cause problems)

  • File are not accessible by the system

    There is, I had restored my computer using suite recovery of my computer.  I backup all before starting the process.  After when the process was done and I had everybody works very well, I went to remove my files of backup for the space, but I have a really stubborn file/folder.  I'm going to remove it and I get a message saying that the file is not accessible by the system.  From there, I tried going through safe mode to delete, taking possession of the records, using prompt command to remove and even using Unlocker.  None of these methods was able to remove this darn folder.  Now, I don't know what to do next.  If unlocker failed to remove the folder, then I don't think that there many options remain outside to wipe the drive.  and it's something I don't want to do.  So, I ask, what should I do next?

    Increase size, play with the numbers until the darn bac actually works the way it should be.

  • computer Vista Home network is not visible from the XP computers

    I have a home network with 4 computers. Both run Windows XP, Windows Vista is running and
    It works in Windows 7. Each group can see all the others and can access shared files and printers
    with one exception. Vista computer is not visible from the XP computers. It is visible from
    the Windows 7 computer. I guess that there is a setting somewhere on the Vista machine
    That I need to change, but I'm not.

  • iCloud backup after iOS 10 - some files were not available during the last backup

    HI - we are a company with about 350 users of iPhone and iPad.  I put this in the iCloud in the community section, but I've seen other users have the same problem in this section, so I thought I would add here.

    In order to stop users add their own e-mail accounts on the iPhone that lock us the device through restrictions - deactivation of the accounts section.  It stops and then access the iTunes settings.  In the test of iOS 10.0.1, we have one of the devices (a 16 GB 5 s, who had been a backup at 7:20 that morning), improved 9.3.2 that went well with no obvious problems, then, after a few days to leave the handset to the function, we have lifted the restriction and the backup on iCloud to find any backup not occurred since the upgrade and a message 'some files were not available during the last. backup"in its place.

    If all our staff upgrade their phones (we gave says not yet) then the backups look like they stop.  It is easy to fix, as a manual backup, will complete the process, but you have to remove the restriction to do this.

    We tested on iPhone 5, 5 s, air iPad iOS 8 to 9.3.5 and all have this problem.

    I have exactly the same problem, 16 GB iPhone 5s as well. I plan on raising at my Genius Bar appointment today.
