  How to recover files deleted from a removable storage device (memory stick)? the only folder to recycle bin is on my network drive, there is none on my memory stick.

  "Deleting" a file does not actually delete it marks just the space
  also available to be used. There are third-party programs that can
  sometimes recover deleted files. The problem is that the space used by
  the file is likely to be replaced very quickly, and it makes
  the unrecoverable file.

  So your chances of successfully recover this file are decent if you
  Try it again immediately after the deletion of it and go quickly
  downhill from there if you write other files on the device.

  But if the file is large enough, it's still worth a try. Stop
  written on the memory stick immediately, if you did not
  already. Download an undelete program (and here's one:)

• How to block other users to access your folders in user name?

  For my own personal safety

  How can I block my user name folders of other users on my computer and my network without my account corrupt on me?

  I tried to do for some time now, and somehow something always corrupts on me.
  First of all, I went into my username, properties, security and denies access to anyone else, but then I somehow, it corrupt on me.
  So I have that challenge by creating a new account and transferred all my data on the
  Then I have my new username of another user account click right and shared with anyone...
  but then I couldn't access it either so I unstapled who.
  Now, I'm at square one...
  Can someone help me please?

  Unfortunately, they are admins and Yes at the start they received rights but is there a way I can cancel that...

  and that is how should I go about setting up as the encryption?

  Third, they don't go as deep into the search for something. The problem is, if its there they go out. If not, no probs. So, how can I block em to get addition by clicking on properties and set the folder that hidden?

  If they stay admin users, nothing you can do other than encryption technically.  And if they go poking around and either don't know what they do (or do and are cruel) while they could spoil encrypted files you have and your ability to access them once again (unless you are wise enough to save the external encryption key).

  All you have to do is enter and change their user accounts to Plains old standard users instead of administrators (account type).  They will no longer be able to go anywhere on the computer, they will not be able to install things - the scale of the system and it is possible that some things might stop working for them depending on how some programs installed.

  If it were me - I create two administrative accounts, password protect and remove all others of the Administrators group.  No one should use the computer every day as an administrator.  (Why two?  In case one becomes corrupt or something else happens).

• How can I transfer downloaded internet files firefox 'downloads' in the menu to another file or removable storage device.

  Many of my internet downloads went to "downloads of firefox" and I do not see how to transfer them elsewhere.

  Hello

  In the "Downloads" one window entry right click and choose 'open containing folder '. This will open the folder where the downloaded file is stored and you can copy it to the desired location / device.

  Choose "Tools" > "Options" > "Général" you shows the path to the folder where Firefox is save the downloads, but does not open the folder itself. You can see the downloads folder path near the entrance "save files to" around the middle of the window. If the full path is not visible, click "Browse". Here you can also change the location where Firefox is save downloads. For example you can replace your removable storage if the unit is installed and always available.

  Registry warning:

  Sometimes, this problem is due to two Windows that have been corrupted registry entries. To resolve this problem, you must use the registry editor to remove the damaged registry entries.

  However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

  5. Insert the compact flash card.
  6. the computer does not recognize removable storage (that is, it is not assigned a drive letter and does not appear in disk management).

  The only way I can get windows to recognize the drive is to restart my computer. How can I get windows recognize the drive without having to reboot?   This problem does not occur with USB flash drives.

  Windows Vista Hame Premium, 64-bit, Service Pack 2 operating system

  UPDATE (04/03/2010):
  I have more information, I hope this helps to reach a solution.

  -J' repeated the steps above 1 to 3, with open Device Manager.  In step 3, in the Device Manager window, the icon for the question USB mass storage device becomes the exclamation point in yellow triangle icon.  Check its properties on the tab "General", in the "Device status" box, it says: "Windows cannot use this hardware device because it has been established for"safe removal", but it has not been removed from the computer. (Code 47)  IX this problem, disconnect the device from your computer and then reconnect it.  Click on 'Search for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available. »
  -J' then removed the card and rest of the error state.
  -J' I re inserted the card, and rest of the error state.
  -J' I then tried to update the driver by accessing the tab "driver", click on "Update driver", click on "Automatically search for an updated driver", and the result was "the best driver for your device is already installed."

  I found the solution on this hp web page:

  Basically, it says NOT to use the function "remove the device safely.  Instead, just right-click on the drive in the Solution Explorer, then choose "Eject".  Works perfectly.

  Some excerpts...
  "Memory card readers are devices that use the icon remove the device safely in the notification area in the taskbar). Do not click stop in the window, remove the device safely. Doing so can disconnect the card memory reader for Windows. In this case, restart the computer to reset the memory card reader. »

• hard drive internal, now recognized as removable storage device?

  everything was fine until I updated my motherboard drivers. I have an Abit NF-M2SV (Nforce 405) and after the updated drivers (chipset, storage, etc.) and my second hard drive which is SATA, arose in the removable storage as if it were a memory stick. If I stop the device it tells me to unplug it now, but it is internal and the system is always on. Anyone know what may have caused this?
  Thank you

  chris1991,
  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.

  If this happens when you updated your motherboard drivers, then you need to contact the manufacturer of your motherboard to see if they have a fix for it.  In the meantime, you can try restoring your system to a point in time before you updated the drivers from the motherboard.

  To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:
  Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
  In the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.
  In the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.
  Click Finish.
  The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

  If this does not work, you can try to roll back the motherboard drivers, but it's very risky, so you should back up your system first.

  Thank you
