Folder that does not exist on the desktop

It is the first time I saw this problem in all my years of using all versions of Windows. I have a folder on my desktop. It is empty, so I tried to remove it and got a message saying: it cannot be deleted because it isn't here. I tried to rename it with the same result. I did a complete search in the register the name of this folder and it came negative.

I opened the folder and was able to add a file to it. Then I searched my C drive for that file and is found, but the search does not find the file. So I can't delete, rename, move or copy this folder.  Anyone know how I can get this file on my desktop?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

You may have a problem due to the use of some not printable or other special characters.

Open a command prompt, change to the directory where this folder is located, and type

dir /x {Enter}

That should show you the "short name" (i.e., 8 characters) for the folder.  Your file should show that

ELITTL ~ 1

Now, make an order of RD using the short name:

RD ELITTL ~ 1 {Enter}

  • The Apple showing in the page settings of ICloud ID does not go and watch my old email address that does not exist as an Apple ID.

    ID showing in the page settings of ICloud Apple won't and watch my old email address that does not exist in the Apple continues to him I identification code is required to sign in this old apple ID, but when I try to reset the password of the site Web of Apple tells me that this 'old' email address is not a piece of identification If that makes sense. I tried to disconnect from ICloud, but always keep asking the password sign to find my Ipad.

    I know my good Apple ID and password and have checked the details on Apple's site that shows the Ipad on the list of devices.

    The Ipad will connect has WiFi and I took it at John Lewis today where I bought it and they think that the problem is being caused by this problem of ID.

    Another that take it to the Apple store, anyone have any suggestions please?

    Welcome to the Apple community.

    If you are unable to remember your password, security issues, do not have access to your address of rescue or are unable to reset your password for any reason, your only option is to contact the Support of Apple ID, to speak to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID This way you can be attributed to the assistance, even if you do not have an AppleCare plan.

    You will need to be patient with the process and to be ready to prove without doubt that the account belongs to you. Do not expect access to be restored immediately and if you are not the owner of the Apple ID saved to the device the account will not be reset.

  • Satellite L300 - peripheral USB need drivers that does not exist

    Satellite L300 race Win Vista 32 bit, connection of new devices (for example the card reader USB Signalex), I ask for a device driver that does not exist on the computer or on the Web and should not be necessary.

    How to do this? My previous laptop under Vista did not ask this.

    Hi Greenman,

    Have you tried other USB devices such as a USB or disk external DRIVE with USB interface? Normally you n t need additional drivers for most USB devices except printers for example.

  • [SOLVED] Backup Windows 7 gives an error message 'file ignored' for a subfolder that does not exist in Documents

    I am running with "Backup and Restore" backups in Windows 7 Professional and constantly get this error in the logs:

    Backup has encountered a problem during the practical C:\Users\Tim\Documents\Blender file backup. Error: (the system cannot find the specified file. (0 x 80070002))
    "Practical Blender" is a folder I previously removed documents and backup should not be looking for it. I tried to remove the job from the scheduled backup with Windows Task Scheduler and create and execute a new backup job, but the problem goes away. It is only this specific file gives me this problem. I deleted the other folders of Documents before and since it was started without any problem of backup.

    Is it possible that I can stop backup to find this file that does not exist?

    What happens when you recreate this folder?

  • error packaed and launch: Oh, Snap! Build request failed with the message: [ERROR] an archive or directory does not exist in the specified path:

    Hello

    I get this error when you try to run the sample of cards on the corrugation Simulator:

    Oh, Snap! Build request failed with the message: [ERROR] an archive or directory does not exist in the specified path: "/ Users/Calgacos/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Extensions/cnijnnaimeaacneklcndcafbnkeicckh/0.9.16_0/services/node/node_modules/rbd/Packaged/Maps.zip".

    The .../rbd/Packaged folder is writable and the Maps.zip will be created in the folder ~/RippleSites/Maps/Packaged.  With the help of Mac, the latest versions of everything.  The application runs in undulation ok, but I can't throw on the SIM BB10.

    Someone else have this error and know why?

    PS the Maps.zip does not get created (or copied) in specified folder, of course, but why?

    PS try another application and it worked but is too has not put its zip file into the folder... rbd/Packaged.  I guess it should not but leaves me clueless as to whats wrong with cards.

    Thank you

    The two directories (in the extensions directory and maps project directory) have permissions to 777.

    But you gave me an idea...

    It turns out that simply by putting

    "Packages".

    in setting output wasn't enough, I need the full path

    for example: "/ Users/username/RippleSites/Maps/packed."

    and presto, now it works!

    Thank you!

I don't know how windows take to put inside of the frequent. With waiting for that appears automatically, is there a way we can pin an item that does not appear in the jump list frequent list?

    The answer depends on what type of element you want to pin.  The only type of element you mentioned being a folder, you can easily do what you're wondering now and does not need to wait for a later version.

    In the 8 Windows desktop, when you drag an executable file (or shortcut) on the taskbar, a message appears that says "PIN to the taskbar.

    If you drag a document file (or a shortcut), the message will say "pine [associated application]"-in other words, "[name of the default browser] pine" for a html, "Pin to Notepad" file to a txt file, etc..

    For a folder, File Explorer is the associated application.  Therefore, if you open a file Explorer window, look for the desired folder and drag it to the taskbar, the message that appears is "PIN to the file Explorer."  Just click on it, and it will appear in the jumplist FE, above the frequent places, in a separate section called "Pinned".  You can drag things and down from there to order at your leisure.

    (The Control Panel, even if it is displayed in FE as 'File system', only let you pin on the desktop, for not not FE jumplist.)  There may be other special cases like this; I don't know, but it works usually as I've described, including for other system folders.)

    Just to be clear, I am a new user of Windows 8, far from being an expert.  I only know how it works because I heard today by trial and error.  So there may be more to what I can't help with.
