• "new folder" option grayed out

  I was organizing my files photo in year folders and subfolders of months on an external portable 1.5 TB harddrive. I've only used less than 1%, so I have a lot of memory still available. Suddenly my "new folder" option is grayed out. How can I get this working again? (The file is available, but I don't want this kind of file.)

  You format your drive Seagate for a Mac? It is delivered formatted for Windows and if you are wrong in the installation of the software on the drive, it will be read/write until the software stops, then you will be able to read the disc.

  Select the drive, then the get info (cmd - i). See if it says that the format is NTFS. If this is the case, it is formatted for Windows and OS X can only read the drive natively. You can install a third-party software to read and write, but it is apparently not well maintained and seems to fail to update to OS X.

  If this is the case, I would say you move the files to another drive and then format the drive as Mac OS extended (journaled), then move the files back.

• Downloads of Firefox 4.01 files but windows gray downloads on the 'open' and 'Open containing folder' options and I cannot trace files

  Three days ago, that I've upgraded to Firefox 4.01. I downloaded several files that were ok. Yesterday and today I downloaded a powerpoint file and a file *.dmg to apple.

  On the download window these two files, I can see with the total mb in size. However when I right click in the list of files in the download of the "Open" window and "Open containing folder" options are grayed out. What more I can't find these files anywhere on my computer when I use Windows Explorer to search for.

  It seems that this happened after I tried to download a Firefox Add the of http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/addons/64761/amazonassist-0.7.2.6-fx.xpi and my antivirus picked up the horse of Trojan JS/Kryptik.AK and put an end to the connection. Is there a link with the problem that I am facing?

  I use Windows 7 Professional, Firefox 4.01

  If these entries are grayed out, then it means that the files are no longer in the original download location. If you don't remove them then anti-virus software or cleaning may have deleted their.

• Folder options - view the hidden files and folders

  Hello

  On this same laptop, there seems to be a problem with * Folder Options - Show hidden files and Folders.*

  Every time I have to 'see' this option to display - then I go back to check/confirm the changes - but the box is new 'unchecked '. Despite clicking on apply then Ok to save the changes. The changes are never saved...

  I have used other laptops of this same option and it worked fine.

  Please indicate if I need to apply or change other settings for this to work?

  Kind regards.

  A reasonable explanation from Microsoft for this?
  To be honest I have never heard talk about something like that. ?:|

  Since when you noticed this behavior?
  Have you tried to roll back the BONES to the bygone era? Maybe some update is responsible for this.

  I really hope that someone here will explain why this happen.

  Hello moomiss, can you advise what operating system you are using?

  If Windows 7, you can use Windows Explorer and open a folder and in the upper right corner of the screen and searching Options tab and select the Details option. This should change the selection of detail screen. You would need to perform this procedure on each folder you open only once, and it should stay that way. It can change from time to time, due to Windows, unknown error recovery, but most of the time, it must remain the way which set you.

• Why MS never decided that the default folder options / "Hide extensions of known file types" should be active?

  original title: a Question about the names of file/folder options

  I have a generic question that apply for all recent versions of Windows.

  Why MS never decided that the default folder options / "hide known file extensions.

  types of files"should be active?

  If file extensions invisible brings no end of confusion to anyone trying to resolve anything.

  The first thing I advise in various forums troubleshooting

  must * allow * file extensions.  That is so my question - why MS never chosen

  Let them invisible by default?  It seems a strange decision - and cause no end of

  confusion.

  Because there are a few users who would be accidentally when trying to rename a file change or remove the extension and in doing so the file would not open.  If this post answers your question, click mark as answer .

• Why have I not Folder Options in the tools?

  I deleted Roxio from my PC but I still 7 "tentacles" in Add / Remove programs which, no matter what I try, I can't delete.  A Roxio Customer Care Rep gave me instructions by e-mail include [in the Windows Explorer window, select Tools--> Folder Options. * Select the display tab.]  I opened tools and that you don't have a Folder Options.  I searched Google Help and instructions are ineffective to allow the Folder Options.  Y at - there anyone here who has received instructions that work to activate the Folder Options under tools with the rest of the options under Folder Options?  I do not have a virus that I can access the registry, but I'm only instructions I printed that I'm not a PC geek and careful when it comes to the registry.  I followed some instructions to remove Roxio "tentacles", but they were ineffective.  Now I can't continue with the instructions that I got by Roxio because they include Options of folders and I can't access it.  Someone help please!

  Click Start-> Run Type & -> gpedit.msc-> User Configuration-> administrative templates-> Windows-> Windows Explorer components-online right locate him => removes the menu Options of folders in the Menu Tools-> Double click on it and select Disable.

  Click ok on all screens and restart your pc.

  I hope this helps.
