  How can I copy the folder my documents in my iCloud drive and then I sync the two after that?

  You can simply drag in iCloud reader, but I pass and move documents in their files app instead. It will probably take a while to download all documents.

  It is not a way to sync without some third party software that synchronizes folders, or learn how to use rsync in the Terminal.

  Instead of synchronization, simply use the iCloud drive in the 'Documents' folder after you move the files.

• Files and folders in root appear in my folder of Documents and office

  It probably happens on the Windows NT-based versions (has happened to me on a XP PC and a PC in 2000 that I intend to upgrade both of them soon). The files and folders of the program directory (C :) root Windows upward in the office and the folder My Documents. These files are not shortcuts and they show that they are located in the root of the drive, even if they appear on the desktop and My Documents. They can be handled then that mirrored to the root of the drive. I dropped a simple file to the root one test while it appears on the locations and then I deleted the file of the said test from the office and he left root. They don't seem to do anything when I click on them. It is not happened to me before. Does anyone know how to fix this? Is this a bug?

  That is some progress.  Normally the desktop folder works the same way, where he will have a "location" at the top of the Properties tab.  This is a feature you'll see normally special "shell folders" as this (shell being the part of the operating system that see you, or the user interface).

  If it has lost its distinctive feature, you can usually restore it quickly in the registry.

  1. First of all, make sure that you have a folder that is named "Desktop" in your personal folder 'username '. You will set the registry to use this folder as storage of office location.
  2. Keep Windows Logo type R to display the run box, type REGEDIT and click OK and give permission to the administrator if necessary.
  3. Navigate through the list of files (registry keys) on the left to find this place:
     HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
  4. Look for the "Desktop" entry on the right (registry value), and double-click it to change data to be:
     %UserProfile%\desktop

     The %UserProfile% is a variable that is everywhere where your current profile is stored.  Administrators and power users can use it to move their entire profile without having to define all those places individually.

  5. Click OK to save it, and then close the registry editor.
  6. Lot of windows completely and reconnect of re - initialize your user profiles and folder locations. Or just restart your computer, either way :)

  At this point, right click and properties of the desktop folder should now have the expected location tab (let me know if not).

  If you ever want to move these places, a little advice: make sure that you have specified a folder name.  In other words, do not place your Documents to store in just the G: drive. Instead, create a folder on the target drive and don't forget in the location (such as G:\Docs).  One last thing: don't try to define both 'special' folders to be stored at the same single physical location (do not set two in the same place).

  Here is a picture of this registry on Windows 10 location, but these steps are the same, all the way back to Windows 2000 (maybe sooner).

  

  Let me know how it goes, I hope that he gets all cleared up.

• Arrangement of Documents in the folder 'My Documents'

  How can the documents in the folder "MY Documents" appear in chronological order, i.e. According to the date of each document created?

  Entered in chronological order? Do you mean to read in their chronological order?

  There is more than one way to sort the display of documents, but the
  more easy is to fashion Details, then click on the header of the
  field to sort on (Date). You can click it a second time for
  change the ascending descending, or vice versa.

  Hello Tiffy.T,

  Thanks for the return of the response.  If this happened recently, I suggest to perform a restore of the system to a point in time before you rename the folder.  Please let us know on this status.

• Error message: cannot create the folder C:\Documents and Settings\Marlon\Local Application BVRP Software\NetWaiting\MoHlog.txt Settings\

  I recently had a problem with the virus 'Restore Windows'. I was able to get rid of it with Malwarebytes antivirus scanner, but when I turn on my computer I get this error message.
  Cannot create the folder C:\Documents and Settings\ of Settings\Marlon\Local Application BVRP Software\NetWaiting\MoHlog.txt
  
  
  I'm no expert, but I feel that my C drive disappeared, or at least has been hidden. My documents, pictures and music files are all empty. My programs (start > all programs) have been removed and deleted the shortcuts on the desktop. When I go to my computer, my personal and shared document files are not accessible. Under the description it says that they are hidden. My local disk (c) is also empty, but there is still very little space which suggests that programs and files have not been deleted.
  Is it possible to recover my files?
  Thank you

  Hello

  MoHlog.txt file is related to the software of modem on the computer, you can uninstall and reinsta it check if it works.

  Also scan your computer for any infection by virus still present on the computer using any scanner online.

  You can also try the system restore to the point before that the computer has been infected by the virus and check if it helps.

  Good luck!

• Windows 7 users / locked the folder my documents (junction point)

  I use Windows 7 and have just loaded Microsoft Office on a new laptop computer and when I try to set as default file locations in "Word" it tells me that I can't access name / my users/user documents, when I look at the way it shows a lock on the file. I looked a few answers to this problem but do not understand.  There are two users on the laptop and everyone can see other files, but not their own, in other words when I am logged in, I can see other users ' users / folder my documents but not my own and vice versa. " The result is that when I try to save a document using "save under" it comes up with access denied to folder. I know that I can choose where I want to save my colleague he needs to record simply in his papers when she was on but not save must start looking for the complete path.

  Location in C:\Users\registration by default defined \Documents.  Do not use the 'My documents' folder - it is a junction point and should not be modified or used by users in some way.

  If you have any other questions on-site Office, please post on the Forums of office to the:http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/officeinstall/threads , where the experts at the office will be happy to help you.

  I hope this helps.

• Folder my documents opens at startup and log on

  Folder my documents is opens at startup and log on how to stop why it behaves?

  See if it works (I'm not your configuration): Command Options Panel\Folder.
  Select the VIEW tab, uncheck the RESTORE PREVIOUS FOLDER WINDOWS at the CONNECTION.

  Here's another option to remove this problem: http://www.technize.com/my-documents-folder-opens-at-windows-startup/.  Make sure that you are in the registry and I would only delete the Documents folder reference rather than all - but it is up to you.  I would like to make a registry backup system and the restore point before starting this procedure to be on the safe side.

  ==================================================================================================================================

  Here is another similar option worth a try, if others do not work (same for system restore point and registry backup):

  Click Start > run Regedit > move > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ logiciels\ Microsoft\ Windows NT\ CurrentVersion\ Winlogon In RHS Panel, change the value of "Userinit" to: C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe

  Now, go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ logiciels\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ advanced Explorer\ In RHS Panel, change the value of "PersistBrowsers" to 0

  Reset.

  Click Start > run Regedit > move > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ logiciels\ Microsoft\ Windows NT\ CurrentVersion\ Winlogon In RHS Panel, change the value of "Userinit" to: C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe

  Now, go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ logiciels\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ advanced Explorer\ In RHS Panel, change the value of "PersistBrowsers" to 0

  Reset.

  Click Start > run Regedit > move > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ logiciels\ Microsoft\ Windows NT\ CurrentVersion\ Winlogon In RHS Panel, change the value of "Userinit" to: C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe

  Now, go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ logiciels\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ advanced Explorer\ In RHS Panel, change the value of "PersistBrowsers" to 0

  Reset.

  Click Start > run Regedit > move > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ logiciels\ Microsoft\ Windows NT\ CurrentVersion\ Winlogon

  If this does not work, go tohttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx and run Autoruns and click all.  You are looking for something, with the documents folder, and when you find it, uncheck the box to prevent it from starting at startup (it probably isn't there because it uses a different process to open it, but it's worth a try since different processes was the one before this one and if you are here it means that you did not).  Check the entire list as there may be several entries.  When you're done, click OK and restart.  The file should no longer start.  If by chance you find explorer.exe listed there, then try disabling that and see what happens.  This can cause a lot of problems, so be ready to CTRL-ALT-DEL and file run Explorer.exe to restart the program and then go back and check the box - it sure is not the solution.

  If this does not work, try a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.  If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem.   Follow the procedures described in the article.  Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall.  Once remember to put Vista in normal status, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• I can't locate the contents of what was in the folder 'my documents '.

  I recently upgraded to vista XP, I can't locate the contents of what was in the folder 'My documents' anywhere. When these files is passed or they deleted in the upgrade?

  In the Security tab, add you in its own right. Go to advanced and control who has access.  Add yourself (if not there) and delete all others.  Then come back and go to the tab of property and take over the case.  Here are a few tips and information on permissions and provides which may help.  But take courage - it seems that we have to fear that found the lack of file and it should be as a matter of time before we can access despite the problems affecting permisions them.  You will have to perhaps give you all the rights and take in hand the folder of the user himself access - but let's see if it works this easier way first (or if it does not, we invite you to try to change the property on the users folder and the permissions, even if she is used to.  In this case, do remove other USERS from the permissions section.

  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.)  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/.

• Invisible - Missing FOLDER - C:\Documents and Settings (not will appear in Explorer) in Windows 7

  Re: Invisible - missing FOLDER - C:\Documents and Settings (not will appear in Explorer) in Windows 7

  Hi all

  I have a stable working version of Windows 7 Pro.  (Yes sfc/scannow and chkdsk are 100%)  BUT here's my question and the problem...

  Recently, all of a sudden - my file C:\Documents and settings folder (and of course all of the many folders and files it contains) is no longer present in the computer of Windows / Explorer.

  Yes - I removed the skin system files in folder options (I'm relatively warned these basic commands) and all my other system hidden files appear perfectly.

  Moreover, I KNOW that this directory and the files are still there on the drive, and Yes, they are immediately, when I use the command line (back of the old black box window) in administrator mode.

  Once again all the folders and files in C:\documents and settings are always there (using the cd and dir/p orders) when you use the editor command line (cmd).

  I even tried to change the parameters of security using Icacls and delivered successfully as Administrators security settings: F and system: F but nothing appears in the Explorer.

  I also tried to change the command attrib to this directory with my very basic command-line skills.

  The computer still works fine - as many of you probably know the C:\documents and settings folder is really an older and former OS directory now used for programs inherited, replaced by C:\Users... etc.

  But why have - so MS put in the OS. There are of course good reasons so - I want show back again.

  I tried a system restore but I only got one and it can also have been corrupted since it took me a day or two to notice.

  In summary, when a directory and files 'all of a sudden disappear completely' use widely and all days 'window of windows Explorer normal 7' you know that something is badly broken in the operating system.

  BTW - Yes all Windows 7 updates made and successful... (no easy feat)

  Any ideas out there your technical assistants.

  Thanks in advance

  They do, but I do not really recommend yet.  But I at least trust him more than any 3rd party.  It is not a download if it is an online as part of the Windows Live Safety Scanner scanner.

  And as I went to look for a link, it seems that safety.live.com now re - headed the new scanner, which is a download :)
  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
  I don't think that this news has a record cleaning component.  But as I said, is never necessary.  The invalid entries in the registry do slow down your startup time, or cause any problem, unless of course, you get an error message because another program tried to use an entry invalid.  But automated scanners are much too aggressive.  He thinks that an entry is not used, doesn't mean some program, somewhere, some time want.

• Install the folder my documents and libraries on data instead of SSD disk

  So, recently I bought a new SSD, installed and put Windows 7 Home Premium on it. After the installation of the OS, I installed my 500 GB HARD drive. I have planed for the SSD for any operating system + some apps I want to open faster (Visual Studio, Unity3D, etc.). All of this worked properly, except that the folder my documents is on SSD, but I want that it is located on the given HARD disk drive. How would I be able to move these folders?

  Thank you

• How to save a pdf file in the folder my documents when you are printing from Explorer?

  I often need to print Web pages to PDF and save them in the folder my documents.  Until a few weeks ago, it was no problem.  About three weeks ago I started getting the following error message every time I print a Web page in Internet Explorer when the selected printer is Adobe PDF and when I try to save to the folder my documents: when printing to PDF on a Web page in Internet Explorer, I can not save to my documents folder.  I have an error message "you don't have permission to save in this location. Contact the administrator for approval. "Now, I must save the new pdf to my desktop and then transfer it to the documents folder, which is a waste of time and that clutters my office.  How can I fix it?

  This problem does not occur when printing to pdf from other browsers, but I have to use some Web sites that work best with Explorer.  Even if in the Solution Explorer, I can print to the Microsoft XPS Document Writer, and save the document to the my documents folder without this error message.

  OS is Windows 7

  11 the Explorer

  Adobe Acrobat Pro X

  Try disabling Internet Explorer protected mode and let us know if that suits him.

  To disable the protected mode:

  1. open Internet Explorer

  2 - go to the top gear icon on the right

  3 - click on Internet Options

  4. under the security"" tab.

  5. uncheck the box that says "Enable Protected mode"

  6. click on apply and OK

  

  Thank you!
