How to MOVE the default location of Windows Fax and Scan?

We have recently added a second server (Windows Server 2008) to a domain AD., because the new server has more resources, we moved all the DOCUMENTS folder to users from the server (Server 2003) network share to address liked to a share on the new Server 2008 machine. After the move, all Windows 7 machines runs the utility of fax and scan can not find MANY DOCUMENTS folder as the utility constantly points to the old server (which took the OLD action of document already deleted).

I changed the location of DOCUMENTS in Windows 7 for Server 2008 sharing, but Fax and Scan keeps searching for the old stock 2003 server and I cannot find where to redirect them. Can I turn off Windows fax and analysis services to the title of printing and scanning and then restore? That will allow me to redirect to the correct folder? I have tried even to search the registry for references to the old stock but still can't seem to locate the old server to the MANY DOCUMENTS reference.

Can anyone help?

I solved this problem with a synlink

First to find the actual location of Library/Documents/scanned documents, make this scanned Documents to right click and click 'open file location '.

In my case he opened it (that I copied from the address bar):

Documents C:\Users\Tim\Documents\Scanned

What should I do now is to save the files in this folder, and then delete the "Documents" folder completely

Then click the windows key and type in run or search (or click the Windows key + R) and type 'cmd' and press enter

A black console should appear

In it, you must enter this command, I wanted that my scans to record in X:\Scans

MKLINK /j "C:\Users\Tim\Documents\Scanned Documents" X:\Scans

then press enter

This creates a folder (symlink, not a shortcut), who acts as a normal file, but is actually located in a different place, so when the scan software saves files in its default location will be actually stored in X:\Scans

  • Help with registration of the PDF when using Windows Fax and Scan

    When I use the Windows Fax and Scan, I'm trying to scan a document and then save it as a PDF file.  What happens is when I save it, it opens Adope Photo Shop and will not let me save it as a PDF.  How can I scan a document and then save it as a PDF in Windows 7.0?

    If you have Word 2007 or later, you can scan it, then save it as a PDF. Works fine for me. I have a Canon LIDE 100 scanner, I bought for $50, which will also scan directly to PDF.

    I hope this helps. Good luck.

  • How can I change the default location on Windows Photo and Scanner Wizard for registration?

    I have a machine that would save photos from an SD card in a folder the same name as the group by the name of photos. That is to say: I want to save a group of images as "Puppyxx", where "xx" is a sequential number appended to the file in the wizard. In the past, the wizard would create a folder called "Puppy" and put all the photos with the same group name in the folder of the puppy. Now, it is dumping all the photos at the root of the "My pictures" folder I'll have to go and manually move the images. We had a problem week last with server space and had to change the wizard to download the pictures on the C:\ drive rather than on the document server. How do I go about changing the default behavior of the registration wizard so that all I have to do is provide a group name, and the wizard name files properly and place them in the appropriate folder?

    Hello Geekgirl34,

    In the wizard, you can specify a folder, rename batch of images, etc.  I do believe however, that the wizard will automatically make a new folder.  You should see "options" or "advanced options", when importing photos.  You can create your new folder and change the name of the worksheet.

    See you soon

  • Windows Fax and Scan - what the appropriate use for the concurrent users to save to the network program?

    I'll try to keep this simple - as I already asked this on other forums without the answer. My environment - Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 32-bit client machines. A computer needs to scan patient documents to a network shared by a group of users folder. There will be many people who use this computer even through all day (several shifts - environment 24 hours/7 days).  This is why I need multiple profiles from windows to all save the scan to the SAME network location.

    Currently I am trying to achieve with Windows Fax and Scan and using the ' Scan 'option under 'tools' routing. "  There is a check box (once in this option) for "network location".  I am using this option, but its does not work and that's the whole problem. Its supposed to AUTOMATICALLY record each scan to the specified network location, but it does no such thing. The scan is not registered at all in fact it is just in the interface user of Windows Fax and Scan... double you click it, and then it shows you the image.

    Some information note for helping people answer this question (and any help is appreciated):

    (1) * YES * the network folder, I am trying to record is a valid network folder and * IS * accessible via my network of different devices

    (2) * YES * the user of this journal on the computer with the scanner * ALL * read/write to have rights to this location of the network folder

    (3) * file YES and printing sharing is already active on clients

    If you please if someone either knows how to solve this problem, or at this stage if you can even suggest a different (cheaper the better) application that will scan to a network location please let me know.

    One might think to a disabled feature labeled as "scan routing" and then a field for "network location", it would be simple as plugging in the network folder and checking a box - apparently it isn't.

    Thank you.

  • "How to remove scanners listed in Windows Fax and Scan App under 'Tools' - >"Scan Routing? '"

    My question is very simple: I believe!  How can I remove scanners listed in Windows Fax and Scan App under 'Tools'-> 'Scan routing?  This really should not be so dang hard when I do an install, and regedit, I looked at most of the places are to get rid of any residue.  However, when I get back in Windows FAX and Scan, inevitiably I see printers / scanners way back when I bought this laptop.

    I use Windows 7 Home Premium as my operating system.

    I think I'll try the following:

    Uninstall Norton & reboot

    Reinstall your HP printer using the latest version of the full software features on HP site, preferably in the usb connection.

    Test the printer or use HP diagnostics to test its operation, then uninstall HP printing via programs & features software.

    Then use the HP utility to completely re - move

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?CC=UK&LC=en&DLC=en&softwareitem=MP-49133-2

    If all goes well, that should put an end to this

    (With the help of uninstalling programs & features should remove the printer from the "Devices and Printers")

    Hi Ken King1961,

    You cannot create a PDF using Windows Fax and Scan.

    You will need to use a third party program to create PDF files. Use your favorite search engine to locate the PDF creators.

  • How can I move the default location of my PSE catalog?

    Can I move the default location of my catalog (currently: C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs) to another drive?  It turns out that I don't have the space on the C drive to perform a migration.  I have been using PSE for some time on my Windows system (Vista) and running version 9.  I recently installed version 10 and failed to install during the migration of catalog.  I went back to 9, repaired the catalog, provided to all media was found and repeat the attempt to load to 10.

    The system configuration:

    Drive (SSD) C - 7 GB free, default program location, the catalog size 18 GB

    D drive - media location, total size 36 GB

    Drive E - desired location to the catalog

    Any other suggestions?  I'm stuck here.

    Open the catalog and use the help... System Info to see the exact location of the catalog directory.  Use Windows Explorer to copy the entire catalog directory and all of its subfolders to your desired location.  Open PSE and use the file... Catalog to open the Catalog Manager and select "Custom location" and then navigate to the new location.

    I'd do it in PSE9, and once you are unsure that the new location works perfectly, you can use Windows Explorer to remove the former location of the catalog.

    Then you can try PSE10.

    If the problem persists, you can deactivate and then activate Windows Fax and consolidated expansion of print and Document services from the windows on or off check and option features if this solves the problem.

    You will need to disable the function, and then click OK. Now open Windows Fax and Scanand check. Yet once activate the Windows Fax and Scan and check if you experience the same problem.
