  • How can I change the folder under Folders options browse to open each folder in its own window?

    No matter how many times I select "Open each folder in the same window", the files still open in a separate window. So I then several windows open in order to view the other subfolders. Also when I select "File Types" tab and I see that the extension of the file types: (folder) and (folder), they both show (none), which I guess is OK.  So when I click on the "Advanced" tab area 'Actions' watch [find] and [open] with Open being the DEFAULT action. But for Edit or delete buttons are greyed out! So anything that can be changed is the default action is open or find it.

    I just want to be able to open and view the folders in the same window! Do you think I have to reinstall XP Home Edition, running around SP3?

  • How to remove and reset the Contacts folder / files in Vista Windows Mail

    How can I delete the Contacts in Vista - and actually reset the folder so that windows treats the files ".contact" as - good contact and no text.

    Because what was going on, I decided to try to start from scratch - I just copied all the files in the folder of contacts to a archive and deleted all the files in the contacts folder.

    From Windows Mail - I am capable of was able to use the tool 'Add to contacts' and the Contact form (properties) dialog happens - but if I open the Contacts folder directly (Windows or Windows Mail 'button'), I get a window of the typical Explorer with a newlt created contact list (for example there are 6 in there now all created from Windows Mail) - if I try to open an existing contact - it opens in the Notepad - text - garbage.  (Same problem I had)

    I've been setting up with a Contacts folder corrupted since I bought my desktop with Vista in 2008 - I think I looked into the question of import then and there is no function of CSV to import the contacts (that I could find) - and / or the inport corrupted the file - so when I open a file of contacts I get the text of the file - it opens in Notepad - and not a Contact form.

    With more than 600 contacts in there, I didn't have to manually retype all data, but it's time to bite the bullet.

    Hello PaulJMoore,

    ·         Do you have just copied the contacts in archive and did not export them?

    ·         What is the extension of the contact files you copied?

    You should try to reset the contacts folder.

    1. in Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder C:\Users\(user name) \Contacts.

    2. right click on an empty space in the main pane of the middle of the window and click Customize this folder.

    3. under the type of folder do you want, click the arrow next to the model list drop-down list.

    4. click on Contacts to select.

    NOTE: Check apply also this template to all subfolders if you want to change all subfolders in the Contacts folder to the Contacts model as well.

    5. click on OK.

    The contacts created with Windows Vista are in the format of .vlc. When you try to open them to the archived location where you saved, he would not be able to access Windows Mail to open the contacts.

    First of all try to copy all the contacts in the Contacts folder on the \Contacts C:\Users\(user name folder location).

    If this does not work, try to import all the contacts that you have saved to the location that is archived using the import option from the Windows Messaging.

    You can read this article which will give you information on how to import contacts:

  • How can I remove the old Windows folder to a different drive?

    Original title: Old files Windows, Program Files, etc.

    I tried to use before Disk Cleanup and it worked, and I haven't run a complete installation.

    I'm having a problem now, this time, and I did a full install.  Disk Cleanup doesn't show any options to remove an old Windows as it did before.

    How can I remove the old Windows folder to a different drive?  I also try to remove the Program Files folder, as well as with an implementation since.

    It is showing an error message "I need to be in the Administrators group ~", and that TrustedInstaller is owner of the present.

    I have a question that "TrustedInstaller" has full authority on the file system, and 'Administrators' has limited access.

    I noticed that there are other three to make a total of four names of users who have all or nearly full access to the file system.

    Can it be fixed... it's pretty annoying to see this continue..., strictly through Windows Update.

    I look forward to your reply.

  • How to display the hidden files and folders even if I've already enabled "Show hidden files, folders and drives" to "Advanced settings"?

    How to display the hidden files and folders even if I've already enabled "Show hidden files, folders and drives" to "Advanced settings"?

    After I enabled "Show hidden files, folders and drives" in 'Advanced settings', I can't yet see in the folder but I know there is a file in this program of WinRAR folder form as pictured below where I opened the case both at the same time.

    Hope you can help in this case...

    It would be possible that the file is marked as a system folder (which is just a check box in properties such as the hidden check box). So in your folder options, uncheck the "Hide protected operating system files" and see if it will be visible.

    Or another thing to try: remonter back a level, hold down SHIFT while you right-click the complete file and choose "Open command window here", then type DIR to see if the file is listed.

  • Folder is hidden by default in a USB key

    Hi, I don't have any experience for the problem I have currently here. I recently inserted a USB stick containing photos and for some reason, the folder is hidden, and I wasn't able to view the folder until I changed the options to show hidden folders. I want to know is WHY this is the case meaning how did the folder gets hidden in the first place? Is this a risk to my PC?  Is there a way to make this normal folder?

    Hi Tsubasa,

    Sorry to know that you are facing this problem. I would be grateful if you could answer the following questions:

    1. Did you use your USB drive on any other computer to transfer files?
    2. The name of the hidden folder is different from the previous photo folder?
    3. What anti-virus program do you use?
    4. You get the error message?

    According to the description of the problem, it seems that the pen drive may be infected by a virus, or you might have copied the hidden folder that is visible from another computer.

    USB is an external data storage device and commonly used to move or copy files between computers, so connect to different computers make them more vulnerable to being infected by viruses.

    The virus can change the attributes of your pen drive files and make the data inaccessible to you.

    I suggest you to run the Microsoft Safety Scanner and check if it helps:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Warning: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    I hope this helps. If you need help with Windows, let us know and will be happy to help you.
