    In Windows Vista and 7, make changes to the files in Program Files is strongly discouraged.  It is possible, but requires a security change / property rights.  Well-written programs should look to the folder tree of data program for these kinds of things, or sometimes the user Appdata folder.  There is not another location course serve this in Autocad 2010?  There should be.

  • How to restore a folder and subfolders using Time Machine (TM)?

    I need to restore a folder and all its files and subfolders, with the latest at a specific date.

    I'm running Yosemite (10.10.5) and plan to upgrade to El Capitan, shortly.

    To the restored file, includes everything I have he would have seen that day.  Some folders/subfolders may not have changed for a long time (years).  Others may have changed recently.

    An example of this is the Evernote database folder.  In order to recover some of the notes that have been deleted or modified, I need to restore my folder of Evernote completely because it was on a certain date.  It must include all files/folders that I've had to this date.

    How can I do this?

    I did a lot of research, a lot of research, read many documents (including Apple) on the use of TM, and I can't find any information that explains how to do this.

    If TM can do, there's another backup system which can, would you recommend for this?

    Thanks for your help.

    I suggest that visit you Time Machine FAQ of Pondini helps with Time Machine. See in particular http://pondini.org/TM/15.html and http://pondini.org/TM/16.html .

  • How to move a folder w / files on USB?

    "What are the details?" a folder to USB...
    ex... National League of nursing!

    Hello

    Way the easiest is to put the flash drive in and make sure it works - possibly Windows Explorer
    Startup - if not use Start - computer or Windows Explorer.

    (Note: do not copy too many files in the root of the Flash Player, this is limited.) Instead
    If you have a lot of individual files (or groups of them) put in a folder and subfolders on the
    Flash drive. You can copy as many files and folders as needed as long as they are not all in the
    root of the flash drive, of the capacity of the drive.) Make a folder on the USB Flash drive-
    Right-click in the pane right and NEW.  If you COPY a folder on the drive hard drive then all its
    content must also be copied if after you paste them on the flash drive, you need to check.

    Copy using Start - computer or Windows Explorer

    Right-click on the files or the files (you can select more than one at a time) and COPY them.
    Then go to where you want to click on them and right and PASTE. COPY you from HDD
    drive such as C: and STICK it on the Flash drive

    When you use this method the folders and files exist on the hard drive and flash drive
    as copies double until what change you or remove any other.

    ----------------------

    TIP:

    In a folder, you can HOLD SHIFT then click on a file or folder in the right pane, then click on the
    Finally, in a sequence, and each of them will be highlighted - right click on the highlighted area and
    COPY. Go where you want - click right on - PASTE.

    To select a group of files or folders not in order, hold DOWN the CTRL key and click on each file or folder
    that you want to copy - right click on the highlight and COPY area. Go where you want
    Put them - click on - DOUGH.

    Two of these tips also work on subfolders or files at the same time.
