How do I alphabetize the files/folders on my computer window?

I don't find a way to prioritize alphabetical 'My Computer' window. Everything is mixed, and I have to search line by line to find what I'm looking for. Certainly there must be a methodology to classify all items listed alphabetically.

Right-click | Rearrange icons by | Name.

Would it not easier to access your documents via My Documents?

    Hi team, support

    I'm using windows 7, 64-bit and Office 2010 operating system. I want to save web files(e-invoices) in .tif format.

    Because the tif format is only way to download web files(e-invoices) in the download system.

    Please tell us how can I save the files directly in tif like Window XP format.

  • How can I recover the files and programs before a system restore? my document folders are all empty and my programs will not open!

    How can I recover the files and programs before a system restore?  my document folders are all empty and my programs will not open!

    I know they are there and hidden somewhere, but this restoration took my settings of the computer to 2004! We lost all our data, our software that we use to operate our company at home, our quickbooks that has all our financial data, family photos, videos, Outlook will work not so no e-mail, all turned in time and 6 years ' worth of documents have disappeared.

    What happeneded was that I was trying to upgrade to quickbooks software when I got an error, I cancelled out of the facility, then restarted and that's when I got an error hal.dll something? I thought about a system restore would allow me to go back in time to just before when the error occurred, but he basically took my computer back to factory settings, so all the programs that I installed and paid hundreds of dollars for the past six years has disappeared, Microsoft Office and very expensive construction estimating software that we wil have to pay once AGAIN for If I can't get this program working properly.

    I am a fool! I can't believe what's happening.

    Someone at - it instructions on how I can retrieve either the programs and data that I need specifically or how to go and seek shade from the files I read online on and restore my computer for about 12 hours ago?

    Thank you all!

    Looks like you did a system rather than a system restore recovery.  If you have inserted a disc supplied with your machine and booted from it, you probably erased the disc and installed the original operating system provided with your computer.  Usually, a step in this recovery is to do a full format or quick of your drive.  If you did a full format, your data is permanently lost.  With a quick format, your data may still be there, somewhere but inaccessible by normal means.  Applications must generally be installed, in order to recover the files probably will not help unless you have the original installation media.  Your other data files (images, videos, financial data) may be salvageable, but at this point, it would be advisable to take your computer or your disk to a business/professional who is experienced with data disc recovery.  It will be cheap and there is no guarantee.

    Impatient, remember investigate you a backup strategy for your computer and critical data.  Hard drives can go wrong with little or no warning.

    The four basic methods to organize how your files and folders appear in Windows 7 include organization, sorting, grouping and changing your display. Understand the differences between these options will help you customize and combine them at your leisure.

    I ask you to refer to the suggestions in the article below:

    Libraries should show only the files that are contained in the files that you add to this library.

    Example:

    In Windows Explorer, select the Document library.

    In the window display on the right, click the link x sites in the top/left of the window.

    This will open a dialog box displays all the folders that have been added to this library.

    By default, the Library of Documents should show the folders My Documents and public records .

    If there is other records showing that you don't want in this library, Select the folder and click on the Remove button.

    You can also right click the documentslibrary, in the Part of Navigation and select Properties. At the bottom of the Properties dialog box, click on the button by default is restore to remove all additional files have been added.

  • How can I change the file permissions that are made in the other operating system on the same machine?

    Hi all

    I installed 2 operating in two different drives (drive C & D) systems in the same laptop.
    Recently I have re-installed the Windows7 operating system on drive C. And formatted the D drive. Now, I have a BONE in my system.
    Now the problem is, I can't open some video files (the names are colored in green) who says that you have no permissions.
    I found that "Encrypt contents to secure data" is enabled in advanced of this specific file properties.
    When I go to turn off this option, it says that you have no permissions. It shows the name of the owner as a previous user of the operating system
    in the other disk drive D (that I already formatted)
    How can I get out of this problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    If encryption is not involved (if you do not encrypt the files originally) and is just a file permissions problem - simply take possession of the files first and then change the permissions when your account has full permissions on the files/folders that you need.

    If you do not backup your encryption certificate and key encryption is involved, then the data are almost lost to you.

  • Response of local folders looks like the answer to the discussion group. No signature or formatting options. How can I change the local folders meets regularly?

    Please see image attached. Responses from the eyes of local folders as responses to the discussion groups. No signature or formatting options. How can I change the local folders meets regularly, as they are in the Inbox?

    I don't think that the format of replies to the messages in the local folders are linked with focus groups or to individual account settings. As local folders can contain messages between several accounts or identities, it is more likely that formatting uses the setting of the account or identity appearing in the: field when you reply.

    This is how I think it should work. How this works in practice may be different.

  • How to print all the files in a folder without having to open each one?

    Hello

    Can someone tell me how to print all the files in a folder? I often need to print multiple files in a folder and it would allow me to save a lot of time!

    Thank you!

    I've done some testing, and it seems that Windows 7 allows print several files when they are all the same type of file.  So, for example, you can select and print 15 Word documents, but not a Word document and a single PDF document.

    To work around this limitation, you can print each file type separately.  For example, to print PDF files in a folder:

    1. Type *. PDF in the search for top-right box.
    2. For 1-15 files, press on CTRL + A to select all the.
    3. For 16 or more files, select 15 of them (click on the first, SHIFT + click the last).
    4. Click any file, and then click print .
    5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 as needed.
