How to pin folders and files to the taskbar?

I have a few updates from XP to Windows 7.  How to pin folders and files to the taskbar?  I got a lot of these in my XP Quick Launch bar.

Mike

PIN Windows Explorer in the taskbar and you can right click to get your recently viewed files.

You can also add toolbars to the taskbar.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows7/add-a-toolbar-to-the-taskbar

A toolbar can be any folder in Windows Explorer. So you can put any selection of files to a user created folder and access these files quickly thanks to a simple icon in your taskbar.

However, don't go overboard you can quickly run out of space on the taskbar. My toolbars are interspersed between the program pinned to the taskbar, tasks and links with the Noification area to the right. The section of the program will go to a second line below according to the needs and so you can limit the space allocated to programs if you wish.

  • Easy transfer Windows spilled all my folders and files in the C: OS drive.

    I don't know if I've done something right or if it is a real problem. I used my wired network and Windows Easy Transfer to transfer files and folders of old readers logics partioned 5 XP to my new family Win 7 Premium 64 bit, also with a hard drive partitioned. Transfer all the folders and files placed in the new Win 7 C: OS drive. What a nightmare! I had to return the computer to factory settings (out of the box) and all over again.

    I should have been smarter. After all, how a stupid machine knowledge where to put each logical drives and folders without receiving instructions. But then it should have been a warning that the machine is not do miracles.

    Caution: do not use Windows Easy Transfer if you have a partitioned hard drive.

    Hello

  • I have a laptop running XP pro with office 2003. All of a sudden all the folders and files in the folders have read only attribute applied.

    This make all folders on the computer and all the files stored inside. The individual files are not performed. If I remove read-only folders and files and click OK, reopen the file and the attribute has been applied.
    Any solution to this problem s.

    Dave

    It's not a problem... it is a feature.

    At a time in the past, Windows has decided that the read-only attribute means nothing, because it applies to files, so Microsoft 'solved' this bit to indicate to whom the file has been customized.  There are other methods available if you really don't want to do a write-protected file.  The details are explained in the following Microsoft KB article.  I recommend reading the article in full to understand what Microsoft did...

    "You can not view or change the read-only or the attributes of system files in Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7"

  • Dreamweaver ignorant CS6 not hidden folders and files on the sync, why?

    I have a site with the file "crmcwed" with subfolders img1 and img2 img3.  On the site of the remote server, the corresponding folders (img1 and img2, img3) are filled with hundreds of files JPG photo.  I chose to not have the same files in the corresponding img1 and img2, img3 files in local files.  I've marked these 3 files hidden in the remote and local files.  The parent folder "crmcwed" is not hidden locally or remotely.  However, when I ask to sync 'together... Site"," put newer remote files to ' and check "Delete files remotely not on the local drive", the result is that synchronize wants to remove virtually all the photo files in remote img1 and img2, img3 files because they aren't in the local files.  The cloaking seems to be quite ineffective.  I tried to remove and reapply the cloaking and have rebuilt the cache several times.  (If I do not check "Delete files remotely not on the local disk", synchronize reports that the site is fully synchronized).

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Thank you Nancy.  It's a pretty daunting position, while I respect your experience.  I used formerly synchronization with cloaking successfully.  However, I'm trying to get my site hosted on a different server to speed.  It is now hosted on a GoDaddy shared hosting Linux Server (previously I had a Windows Server), and for the first time in my experience, it has an SSL certificate installed for the domain.

    With my new site, I had set Dreamweaver to download using SFTP and Port 22.  With this setting, downloads work fine, but I get the faulty synchronization that I have reported.  I just discovered, however, that if I change to ordinary (non-secure) FTP, using Port 21 and specify servers > basic > more Options > use the FTP mode passive = verified, that synchronization is working properly and concealment is now effective!  (The passive FTP mode if it isn't an option for SFTP). Don't know what to conclude except that there seems to be many gears that have to mesh together to get this all working, and DW interacting with my Linux on GoDaddy website doesn't seem to be a happy marriage.  But who is to blame?  I have no idea.  I don't see why you don't want to use synchronization.

    Thanks anyway, well my comment offers you the "solution", I searched for, it is a workaround undesirable to lose download secure SFTP.

  • I moved the LR5 files by dragging them to a new location. Why the LR5 keep folders and files on the source drive internal Mac?

    my 1 TB drive iMac is full.  I bought a LaCie 3 TB external and moved from 2012 to 2014 to the new drive records.  I did carefully by renaming in year-mo-date__topic in the records of LR.   Then, I used LR5 to drag files in front of the Mac the LaCie external HD.   Successfully, everything installs and turns and usable LR5 since the 3 TB LaCie drive.  The Mac HD is no longer displayed in LR.  In Solution Explorer, I still have folders 2012, 2013 and 2014, but it is still consuming most of my internal drive.

    Why LR5 did move all files instead of what seems to be the copy?

    Hello, on a Mac, it's Finder rather than explore...

    On a Mac, there is no movement when the transfer between discs only copies. It is a large safety factor so that accidents can be overcome for example a power failure during the transfer.

    All you need to do (after saving two disks) is to move files on your internal drive to the trash and empty it then. That will free up the space.

  • What folders and files contains the sites?

    I had to do a reinstall and lost my sites. I guess that there is a *. XML file or *. STE file which contains sites but can't seem to locate it. Someone knows how can I restore my sites?

    It's in your Windows registry.  If you export your STE previously, you will need to manually create new site definitions.

  • I have problems keeping records and files of the administrator and the user separate in my laptop (HP Pavilion dv6700) under Windows Vista Home Premium.

    I have problems separating records and files of the administrator and the user. My computer is a laptop (HP Pavilion dv6700), used as a home computer only by myself, I like to keep the two distinct roles, but am unable to as Vista seems to be considered as one and the same. This scenario has arisen as follows:

    Initially, when I bought the laptop - approx. 18 months back - Windows Vista Home Premium was preinstalled, with the name 'Administrator' as an administrator. To customize the operating system and to use safely, I installed a user 'Renault', as a Standard account user.

    After awhile, I changed the name of the Director of "Renault", for reasons I have can not remember now. This caused Vista to combine folders and files of the two "users" in one, I found difficult to deal with, that I could not operate my laptop as just a Standard user, but is still considered the "administrator." On the one hand, this greatly increased spam in my email accounts. So I tried to reset the name of the administrator as 'Administrator' itself and keep my user name as "Renault", as originally the case.  But Vista me has failed to create a new user under the name "Administrator". So I created a new user under the name "System administrator", with administrative privileges. This has been accepted by Vista.

    But I forgot to change the user account for 'Renault', on the Standard account, so there was BOTH administrator accounts at the same time on my laptop! I realized that now only. The net result was that all the files that I created under the system administrator user were still being displayed under the user account of Renault. A few days back, I realized this and tried to separate the files correctly, but it has not been possible. No matter what I copied the account of the user in the files under the system administrator account, the files have been copied on account of the user himself.

    I tried to fix this by changing the name of the user account in something very different, AND as a Standard user. but this also does not work, as all folders and files under the administrator account system shows it as being under the user account of "Renault" only!

    Then, I deleted the user 'Renault' from the list of the user, but he was not yet of any help. Whenever I tried to create a new file under the system administrator, Vista responds with the message, "C:\user\Rajaram folder is not present. Will I create a new? ", which defeat the same purpose of my tent to isolate the administrator account and the user account.

    SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE WITH A SOLUTION, - OTHER THAN REFORMATTING MY C:\ DISK AND REINSTALL VISTA AGAIN - TO GET OUT OF THIS MESS, IT SEEMS TO ME YOU HAVE CREATED AND HELP ME TO HAVE AN ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT AND OTHER UNIQUE STANDARD USER ACCOUNTS PROPERLY ISOLATED.

    I would be always grateful for a quick and helpful response.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your reply. It was very helpful / sorry your proposed solution has not solved my problem. Kind regards. -Rajaram77

    Better to delete the user account except the one that was built in the administrator account that you renamed. Before this backup all your data files of these user accounts.
    Then rename the buil into account administrator as 'administrator '. Then you create another administrator account and use it and never the user built in Administrator account and leave it alone.
