• How to copy a directory with all permissions and intact junctions?

  Is it possible to copy a directory with junctions in there and have it copy as junctions, not the contents of the junction?

  I'll try to make a long story short, but I just spent a few hours cleaning after robocopy and junctions hidden Windows 7.  I have Windows 7 installed on a spare HD so I can play with it, adjust, test things and figure out how I want to set up before taking the plunge and the replacement of XP full time.

  Just as an experiment, I wanted to create a new user account, but put its directory of the user on another drive and use a symbolic link to point to her to C:\Users.  I created a new user account called Test, connected so that its directory was created and then disconnected.

  I discovered that the moving or copying the files, either in Explorer or a command prompt does not move or copy the directory junctions.  I then tried Robocopy because it contains options to copy all security, owner, and audit information.  There is also an option "copy symbolic links from the target."

  The exact command, I used was:
  Robocopy C:\Users\Test/e/COPYALL /R:0 /SL D:\Users

  First of all, there will be no even to copy permissions, the few records he did copy inherited permissions from the parent directory to the destination, and he added a strange permission that I'll get to in a minute.  It was not long until he stopped with the error.  I don't remember the error because I restarted several times since then, and I don't care to try again just to get the exact error message in order to post here.

  What's happened, it's that there is a directory hidden in C:\Users\Test\AppData\Local junction.  Junctioin name is "Application Data" and it links to C:\Users\Test\AppData\Local (the same directory that is).  This caused his keep copy the folder "Application Data" on itself until the max file name length has been exceded and he stopped.

  When I tried to delete the directory, I kept getting an error that it could not delete the directory because it was not empty.  I had total control over the directory, but I still have the error and the directory (from what I could see) was empty.

  Here's the strange authorization occurs.  For some reason, copies of the "Application Data" directory were defined on system / hidden and everyone had group ' the folder list / reading data "permission set to deny, that's why I couldn't see, even in the administrator command prompt.

  Once I got the permissions sorted, I could not delete the directory because the name was too long.  Windows told me to rename so it was more runs, then try again.  I finally managed to delete by renaming the directories in a few 'Application Data' to 'a' and then by moving the part of it to another directory.

  Not for the faint of heart, but it's doable if you combine two tools in a Powershell script

  I think that the simplest approach would be to use the http://pscx.codeplex.com/ Powershell Community Extensions to find source of junctions and create new ones to target. Then use SetACL http://setacl.sf.net/ to save the ACL from the source and then restore them to the newly created junction.

  Should not be too many lines of code :-)

• How to use the AVMenuItemExecute() with an external window

  Hello

  I am using the AVMenuItemExecute() function in an external window. I mean I have a document open in another window (to aid

  AVDocOpenFromASFileWithParams or a feature like this).

  In fact, the problem is that the AVMenuItemExecute() is running on the windows of Acrobat that is emplty in my case, because I opened the PDF file in another window.

  Do you know if it's possible or not? Whethet it is possible how can I do?

  Thanks in advance,

  Joel

  Sorry, but you can't: (.)

  As you can imagine, MenuItemExecute() is on the menu... running items these does ARE menu items that in Acrobat/Reader and NOT in any application based on an external window.

  What menu item you try to run?  Perhaps there is another way to access this feature?

• How can I protect a file with a password?

  Original title: password

  Please, tell me how can I protect a file with password, folder, a CD, or a DVD. Is there a suitable and reliable and verified software? Please, give me web comments on sites where to find necessary software. I need in order if my CD or DVD discs will be stolen by a stranger or to reach people I did not trust. I need only for private use. You see, I don't have an iron safely to the place I live. I hope that you will understand me. Thank you in advance. John

  Hello, Tommy Stanley. I realized from your questions that you can imagine that I will earn money selling the CD protected by word or DVD discs telling buyers the password. No, I'm not a sales man. Only for me on the extreme case, that my disks will be stolen or to reach people, I do not trust. I guess that to set a password that is easier then encrypt disks. But I wonder to know how to encrypt CD or DVD discs and that means encrypted drive. Through what she may be to read? Please, I explain my situation (I live in time with people that I don't have confidence). Please, give me some reliable advice concerning my question. Now, for me it very seriously. I hope you understood me. Thank you in advance, Shenan Stanley.

  I think you read things in my simple questions that weren't there.  I asked because if it is stored on a single computer/use on one computer by one person - the solutions are simpler and more readily available than if you plan to send this information to someone else so that they treat.

  I recommend you read this:
  http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000705.htm

  If this isn't a shared computer... (It is yours, you can use only.)

  I suggest that you see if you can lock the computer closed (with a physical cable/lock).  You add a password to your system SETUP or BIOS so that no one can change the settings of operating system and maybe even a STARTUP password so it can not even start without enter you a password.  Also change the BIOS settings so that it will only start from the hard drive installed in the machine.  With the Setup/BIOS password, you can change back to something later.

  AxCrypt and TrueCrypt are free and good encryption tools.

  Regarding the CD/DVD - you don't encrypt the media - you encrypt everything you would write for them and you will probably need to copy off the power and check that the files on them are not read-only before you can decrypt in most cases.

  By the way - physical security outweighs almost all other types of security.  Which means you need to physically secure the computer before you bothder same thing with another.  Locking the computer case closed and adding the password after changing startup opportunities, I would consider good physical security in your case.
