Hidden files remain hidden

My wife has hidden some files on his desktop computer from Dell 755usff running Windows XP Professional SP3 and don't remember doing. When she opens a couple of his records, my photos / My Documents, she gets the following message.

This folder contains the hidden files. If you want to select these files as well, enable the display of hidden files in Folder Options Panel.

So we go to the control panel and activate the hidden file display option and... Get the same message when we open the folder again.

Any suggestions as to what she may have done and how solve us this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Sorry for the delay in responding. Registry was all fine and I got the files she had hidden using a recovery disk. She had hidden a couple of folders with pictures in there... :-)

Thanks for the answer anyway...

  • Previous versions CC and files remain after using the cleaning tool - anyone else?

    Windows 7 64 gb ram, dual Q4000 cards: update from 2014-2015 release - waited until I had finished projects on 2014.

    After the use of control panel to remove all the programs Adobe (including the removal of the predefined/prefs/plug-ins settings that I had saved), records containing all of the files and programs that dates back to CS6 remained on my drive C. I used Adobe as directed cleaning tool (option 3 - CC). However the old files containing programs, etc. STILL stay...? I then used the Adobe chat to ask about it. I was told then to use Explorer to manually delete the old files. WHAT IS PROPER PROCEDURE? I left a little confused the two uninstall through Control Panel AND cleaning tool really seem to remove older versions.

  • Snapshots files remain on the disk

    Hello

    A few days ago that I needed to remove some snpshots but 5 GB of free space on the disk was not enough, then the error message "cannot delete the snapshot" popped up, the snapshot in the Snapshot Manager had disappeared, but the files were still there. I created a new capture instant, deleted and all files have been grouped for my snapshot folder was returned to 0bytes, everything is beautiful.

    After continuing to work with my vm I created ss, deleted ss without error msg, but now there are files left in my folder of snapshots again without a corresponding section in the Snapshot Manager (VM 50 GB, Snapshots 7 GB).

    In addition, I am not able compact virtual disks (my virtual machine contains two system + data): when clicking on compact, the error "the system cannot find the specified file" occurs. File log says VMw seeks a vmdk in the root folder, but the file is located in the snapshot folder now.

    Creates a full clone of the files with correct sizes, 50 GB VM, instant 0GO, but I can not and do not want to create a clone every time I need to save space on my SSD.

    How to delete the files?

    Thank you!

    When cloning you will have only the different UUID and a different MAC address. The operating system did not get changed.

    With regard to the consolidation of assistance. To see (and delete) the snapshot in the Manager of snapshots, remove the line snapshot0.clientFlags = "1" of the vmsd file while the virtual machine is not open in the tabs of VMware Workstation (no file lck in the folder).

    I guess that you have a current backup of the files, just in case something goes wrong (which really shouldn't).

  • LCK file remains

    I think maybe it's a bug, but I thought I'd run it past everyone to see if there's anything I've missed.

    I have the Suite of Comm Tech 3 (FM 10, RH 9).

    Create file in FM, close.  Open RH, create new ones and a link to the doc of FM.

    HR open FM and creates a lock (LCK) for the FM doc file.  Doc does not (obviously), open just of FM.  I play in HR and save.  Close project.  Close HR.

    FM is not close.  It must be closed manually.  FM nearby.

    The locking file does not work, never, are deleted.  It must be deleted manually.  If I don't do the cleaning, the next time that I update or generate HR, FM load, fails, load copy 2 crashes, load copy 3 and hangs...  It ends by crashes the system as any of the versions is crushed to goes.  It requires a reboot to clear.

    The bug would be with the lock file, it should disappear, shouldn't it?

    FM must also close the closing of HR.

    [The rest is a leakage problem of memory/stability which will be more difficult to draw and should be the subject of another thread.]

    Comments before I post a bug.

    Do you need to use the network file locking?

    Agreed that FM should end with .lck correctly files, but if you don't need then I would look for the setting "use network file locking" file > Preferences.

    I do not think that FM deletes files of .lck until closing of FM itself, though, even if it says I've seen a lot of instances over the years where they are removed correctly.

    I could be wrong on this matter, but I do not think that any Windows application could possibly close another instance of the application that he had not opened, either because you manually open FM, first of all, you as "owner" of this body have "control" over him, not any other application.

  • Error delay after publication, the file remains locked but. LCK went

    Immediately after the publication of a page or cancel a project with 4 contribute or CS3, I get the error of file locking, "you can't edit this page now because you are already editing on another computer." Click here to make this page editable. "Other users have experienced the same problem.

It's almost as if Contribute does not immediately recognize the files disappeared, but checking a minute later is ok.

    I'm the admin of the site and have Dreamweaver CS3. Everyone uses FTP to access the site. It is a company running on IIS intranet.

    Everyone knows about this problem? Any ideas on how to fix? It's very boring and tedious. You wonder if this is a server configuration problem, a problem of configuration of contribute or some network permissions problem.

    Please notify.

    Thank you

    Alex

    Know the cause of the problem. Seems that using FTP is the question - there is latency in the FTP server where it does not recognize the LCK file as being deleted for a few moments. Noticed the same problem directly connected to the FTP server when I copied a file in a different directory, delete the original, then tried putting the file in the same directory. Received a message "overwrite this file", even though he had disappeared.

    No problem at all when you use Contribute with Local network as a communication option.

  • How to keep multiple databases in a physical file remains open?

    I want to store multiple databases in a single physical file. And I knew that the environment is necessary to do so. I open a database in an environment, set a folder in and retrieved it. Then a different database is open, I put a folder in as well as the return value showed OK (0), but when I try to get the record with some key, the return value is "DB_NOTFOUND. I intrigued me a lot.

  • Storage vMotion - remains vmdk file

    I'm trying to migrate all of our servers to a new data store and made vMotions of the old warehouses of data online storage to the new. The majority of servers are left without incident, but at least two of them have left the hard file. When I browse the old data store, I see \SEC-VMS01\SEC-VMS01-000003.vmdk, a 24 MB Date file last updated 30/06/2011.

    I watched the .vmx file and not to see any reference to this file. Here's what I found:

    scsi0:0. Present = 'true '.
    scsi0:0. FileName = ' DRY - VMS01.vmdk.
    scsi0:0. DeviceType = "scsi-disk" hard

    sched.swap.derivedName = ' / vmfs/volumes/4e00bf8d-99256f80-a7d0-001e0beda51a/SEC-VMS01/SEC-VMS01-2501554d.vswp '.

    scsi0:1.DeviceType = "scsi-disk" hard

    This server is running fine and previously had snapshots that have been removed some time ago. It seems to me that it is simply a file remains and should be ok to delete but I want to be absolutely sure and I am a hard time to make that decision. We are downgrading of this store of data at the end of the week so I need to be cleaned prior to that date. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.
