  • How to move the FILE from one place to another and keep "Indexing" have to move to the unknown location so you can't discover its full file path? Windows instructions provide information wrong re: how to do this!

    Make a bunch of audio files, placed in a folder on my desktop. Files initially sent to RealPlayer to burn, but when finished burning CD and went to read a CD, folder got seized by Media Player, 'Indexed' and disappeared from the office. I'm a relatively new computer user, and I need to learn more about file paths, how to view the path FULL of a file on my computer and how to type (create) full path when I need to. The "Indexing" feature seems to erase this lesson for me, and after having spent four hours trying to find Vista instructions on "How to move the file from one place to another", I gave up! Windows 'Help and Support' on my computer gives wrong directions. It states that if I right click on a folder > properties, a dialog box opens with a tab by which I can move my account. There is no tab location here. I found locations tab when right click on the "Mobile" folder, but still no option to "move file". No idea what is the folder "Roaming" or why it's on my computer. I want my audio files in the My Music folder, but this place is "access denied." Don't know how to get the audio file it in any case, but if anyone has any advice, I would be very happy! Thank you. PS - I had no problem moving folders in XP. I don't like the idea that a computer is to decide where to put my files. I want to control where I put my files. I don't like the way search works under Vista. I liked the XP search companion better because, for a computer fool like me, it was really easy to organize and find files and folders and had an option specific to find audio and video file TYPES.

    Here is an article on how to move your personal folders in Vista: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/moving-your-personal-data-folders-in-windows-vista-the-easy-way/.  If you're talking about the special folders (such as photos, Documents, office...), then here is an article on how to move: http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/95/1/How-to-move-the-special-folders-in-Windows-Vista.html.

    If you have trouble with the search after you move the files, then rebuild the index: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2103/vista_rebuilding_the_search_index/.  Here is an article on how to use Indexing Options in Vista that may be useful for you: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/69581-indexing-options.html.

    If the above does not help, your problem seems to relate to the image of the files/folders and their interactions with Media Center (which operate on different other folders).  Please repost your question in images and video Forum at: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistapictures/threads where the people who specialize in issues of the image will be more than happy to help you with your quesitons.

  • How to move a file to the rear using the Terminal

    Hello world

    I just recently started to learn how to use the terminal in OS X I learned how to move files from one directory to another, but I don't know how to move a file back again. Here is an example:

    (I'm already in the Desktop directory) In my office, I have a folder named "music" and a file called "algo.rtf". In order to move the "algo.rtf" file in the "music" folder, I type the following command: "musica algo.rtf mv / '. That works perfectly fine, when I check, the file is now in the new folder.

    But what happens if I want to move the file "algo.rtf" which is now in "musica" on the desktop? I can't understand. I tried the following:

    'cd musica' (so now I'm in the folder where the file is) and from there I typed: "mv algo.rtf Desktop /" (but then it is said; no such directory not found)

    I understand that he says no "found" because it is looking for a folder named "Desktop" in the folder named "music" and this is why it does not work.

    But that still doesn't help me much because I still don't know how to bring it back to "Desktop". If anyone knows how to do this, I would be very happy for your response!

    Thank you.

    Use:

    MV algo.rtf...

  • How to prevent users from installing new programs in Windows 7

    Hello

    I need to prevent users to install (and download) of new programs in Windows 7. I am responsible for three computers. They are not on one network (other than the internet, of course).

    I read the article "How to prevent users from installing new programs in Windows 7" but I'm not sure what choice to make when I get to the choice of Windows Installer. I'm also not quite know how to cancel that so I can install the software when I have to. I've never done this if I want to be very careful.

    Can anyone help?

    Many thanks,

    Are their accounts 'Administrator' or 'Standard' user level?

    If they are directors of the machine, and then create a new Admin account (only you know the password) and then lower their Standard user accounts. If they attempt to install programs now it should be prompted to enter the Admin password that they won't.

    User accounts - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2663817

    Also see http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/299-user-account-control-uac-change-notification-settings.html for info UAC - and adjust the required level.

    If their accounts are accounts administrator and for some reason must be a competent user, then will probably be able to undo everything you put up anyway.

  • How to move iTunes to support SSD drive on secondary disk files

    Hello

    I think the title pretty much everything said. My SSD drive app fills and although I have three drives in my desktop Mac PRO somehow the artwork & mobile apps are like 20 gigs. The music files are in a secondary drive. What is the best way to move all the files to support the HUGE secondary disk so I don't understand all of a sudden the dreaded exclamation point?

    Thank you

    Enio

    10.11.4 running

    In essence, you must keep the support files in the folder as the iTunes music files, then let iTunes knows where they are located.

    It is better than the iTunes folder everything will be moved to the external drive, not just the music and media files. The link below is instructions on how to do it properly. You "partially" here, but you should still be able to follow them, to make the move.

    But in the SQL server data files will register in C drive only. But we have to back up the files in drive E.

    Configuration of data source interface has failed in the Configuration of EPMA.

    Please suggest the best way to make this scenario.

  • How to move or libraries folder C drive to another drive of card

    It is probably a "no brainer" for most.  But I would like to book my C drive strictly for Applications and operating systems.  How do I move/card my existing libraries folder (Documents, music, photos, videos &) on to another drive?  Is it as simple as 'cut & paste '?

    But with the contents of libraries, then settled how include you these files during a routine backup of Windows? I backup on a NAS drive.

    Thank you

    John B.

    Libraries are virtual folders. A library gathers files from different locations and displays them as a single collection, without moving them from where they are stored.

    You can store files on the other disk and include them in your libraries. Links for more information:

  • Noob question: how to move a file to a virtual machine to BACK?

    I have an old piece of software that I still need to run under DOS. (Believe it or not).  I managed to create a virtual machine with 6.22 running BACK.  AND, a few months ago, I managed to move files on the disk "C:".  But, it seems to me have forgotten one, and for the life of me I don't remember how I moved the files.

    So, I have a file on the host computer that I need to pass to the guest computer.  I traced the virtual disk to a drive letter on the host computer, but whenever I try to move my file, I get an error.

    What is the right way to do this?

    Thanks in advance!

    -Spencer

    Another easy way is to write the missing files in an iso and iso power of the virtual machine

    probably even easier, then using flps - like everyine is an application that can write CDs so creating isos is trivial

  • How copy/paste or copy/move a file to another folder in Windows XP

    I need to copy/paste or copy/move the files from one folder to program existing to another folder.

    Use the movement commands to copy do?

    Hi Jimmyjack1941,

    I suggest you to read the following articles for more information.

    These are the items if you use the Windows Explorer to perform operations:

    To copy a file or folder

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/windows_fcab_copy_file.mspx?mfr=true

    To move a file or folder

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/windows_fcab_move_files.mspx?mfr=true

    You can follow these commands to move and rename the file or folder using the command prompt:

    Moves files and renames files and directories.

    To move one or more files:
    MOVE [/Y | /-Y] [drive:] [path] file1 [,...] destination

    To rename a directory:
    MOVE [/Y | /-Y] [drive:] [path] dirname1 repert2

    [drive:] [path] file1

    Specifies the location and name of the file or files you want to move.

    destination

    Specifies the new location of the file. Destination can consist of a drive letter and colon, a directory name, or a combination. If you move a single file, you can also include a file name if you want to rename the file when you move it.

    [drive:] [path] dirname1

    Specifies the directory you want to rename.

    repert2

    Specifies the new name of the directory.

    /Y

    Deletes the request for confirmation that you want to replace an existing destination file.

    Y

    Causes of request for confirmation that you want to replace an existing destination file.

    The switch /Y may be present in the COPYCMD environment variable. This can be derived with / y on the command line. Default value is quick to replace unless is running of command MOVE within a command script.

    Example:

    move c:\windows\temp\*.* c:\temp

    Move the temporary directory c:\windows\temp files in the root, this is of course assuming you have the windows\temp folder.

    Note: Microsoft does not move the files/folders installed application.

    Hope this information helps.

  • Windows Movie Maker - How to move video files already in a project

    OK so I have a number of video files that have been 'imported' in Windows Movie Maker from my USB drive. Now, I did my project already and am almost complete with my film. However, is there anyway I can move the videos on my computer so I don't have my USB connected whenever I'm working on the project?

    In other words, is there a way to move a clip from one folder to another and did not Windows Movie Maker lose track of it?

    Here:

    http://www.windowsmoviemakers.NET/tutorials/HowToSaveProjects.aspx

    recommend the folder beforehand. But now, of course, it is too late.

    So come on Microsoft, I'm sure that you have no more to watch this...

    You can open the file .wlmp with a text editor. Here, you can clearly see the full paths to the videos of the project entry.

    Copy all of the video files to where you want, and then manually change the paths in the .wlmp file to match their new locations.

    I can't say I've tested this, but it worked on a few projects without problem.

    WLMM should have a possibility to do it within the program.

  • How to move audio files of the program in the time line?

    All of a sudden I can't move audio files of the program in the time line - I read that Adobe said in previous forums click with the right button on the A1, but nothing in this discussion has helped me solve this problem. It was working before. I am a beginner user, so I could be missing something really obvious. My time scale is in blue. I noticed in some tutorial videos that it was yellow.

    Hi lauranoel,

    The reason is due to a bug, explained here: FAQ: why no audio or video will not at the track where I drop?

    Next time, just remove and In or Out to mark, and then drag the clip.
