• I have two folders in the same subdirectory with the same name. How to remove the extra folder?

  I have 2 directories "documents" located in the same directory. They are as well located in C:\Documents and Settings\ [user_name]------directory. Duplicate folder is automatically updated with the same file names when I add files in the original folder. It looks like a pointer to the original folder, when I try to delete the duplicate directory. I get the following error message.

  Can't delete My Documents: it is used by another person or program.
  Close all programs that might be using the file and try again.

  I deleted all files in the directory, rebooted the computer and attempted to delete the now empty folder and I get the same error message. Can you help me remove this duplicate folder.

  Note:
  ------

  I am not able to rename the duplicate folder... If I try to rename, the original folder is renamed... But not the duplicate. Also the duplicate folder becomes empty (since it runs a pointer to the original folder, when the double original of renowned gets is empty)

  In Windows XP, all user folders were located under the C:\Documents and Settings folder.

  In Vista , all user folders are located under the folder C:\Users .

  Vista Documents and Settings folder is not a real file it's a junction folder that points to the Folder C:\Users.

  A junction is as a shortcut that points to another file, that is why these records have a shortcut (arrow) overlay icon. In Vista, the only reason why the Documents and Settings junction is for the old installers who are looking for a Documents and Settings folder. When they try to access the folder Documents and Settings, the junction in silence re - runs Setup to the C:\Users folder.

  The default permissions for the Documents and Settings junction is access denied, even for the administrators of .
  
  The only way that a user can access this file actually is if the access permissions have been changed.

  For a more detailed description of this topic and a list of all the junctions see the following Web site.

  I recommend that you move all your files and immediately stop using the Documents and Settings folder to avoid more problems.

  If this just started recently, I recommend that you use the system restore back to a point before the documents and settings folder was first access.

• How to remove the JUNK folder

  My folder of JUNK gets more and wider - now about 2.5 GB. How can I empty it?

  Hummmm, the only references I can find to "case" (.shs) files are related to versions of Word and Excel 97 or even earlier. Do you still use such a product? If you are I would say move your original post on the forum of bureau for better support. You can click on change on your original question and then change the drop-down lists to move your question to a place where the people with experience of specialist office hang out.

  Follow the advice of John John for the removal of a file if you are absolutely sure this is what you want to do.

  .shs files and a 'JUNK' folder are outside my experience.

• where to save the files under options the file name is duplicated how to remove an additional folder with the same name

  Under Options in Firefox, I clicked on save the files under downloads, but the file name twice and an additional file with the same name is created in the folder, i.e.:

  G:\Akbar's Songs\HAMARA DOWNLOADS\HAMARA FORUMS DOWNLOADS FORUMS

  As you can see the file repeats, how can I fix it?

  Also the music files, I download from a site of downloads as a WinRar file and I need to open it. Y at - it an option where the file opens automatically in the folder I chose?

  Thanks a lot for your help.

  Hi Akush, when you install 7 - zip, make itself the default application to open .zip and .rar files. So if you double click on the .rar file, it should open in 7 - zip. If you prefer to decompress immediately, right click the file and look for new 7 - zip items in the menu. I can't think of a way to do this automatically, however.

• How to remove triplets (taskbar folder divider) dotted in the Win7 taskbar.

  So, in an effort to make my Windows 7 taskbar looks like on-screen Windows 8 start (come, it looks great) I added 'Metro' icons in my taskbar and created a "folder to the taskbar" so that I could push in 3 or 4 rows of icons. I did and also took the title of the file (right click and uncheck the show's title), but now I want to take it a little further. When you create a folder to the taskbar, it creates a thing of divider of dotted line you are using as a cursor to control the position of the record. What I want to do is to delete it, and I'm ready to do a registry tweak if someone of you now how to do this. So if anyone knows how this could be done, I would be very grateful. Thank you!

  Nevermind, I fixed it. It turns out that all that had to be done was to lock the taskbar (taskbar right-click, tick "lock taskbar".

• How to remove a file/folder with force?

  Friends, including at - it a command to remove with force a file or a folder in Windows, as what we have in Unix, i.e. "rm - rf"?

  Thanks in advance.

  Best regards, Kumar

  You can start the command prompt and do a Delete "folder name".  If the folder is marked read only, system, or hidden, you may need to use the ATTRIB command to remove these attributes.  Question the Attrib /? command for syntax.

  To access the command prompt, press F8 all the seconds until you get the menu and select Mode safe mode with command prompt.

  Good luck.

• Windows Vista Mail - Unable to remove deleted items folder

  I show 894 messages in my deleted items folder.  When I click on this folder I don't see any messages.  When I right click to empty deleted folder, I get an error message - some items in the folder "Deleted items" may not be deleted - an error has occurred.

  What I see - when I go in the folder items that are removed in the lower left corner, it says "0 0 messages reading".  If the folder is empty, but how can I get rid of the number in brackets - 894?

  Also would help compaction?  If so, please tell me where to go to do it.  Thank you.

• How to remove the Unsorted Bookmarks folder

  I tested FF 6.0 beta and when you click on bookmarks there is something called "Unsorted Bookmarks" at the bottom of the list (column).

  If you right-click to delete you can't do.

  Someone has any idea how to remove this option?

  I'm not on my FF 5.0 or not has I saw on another browser of FF until now.

  My modules are IE Tab2 and status-4-Evar

  The Unsorted Bookmarks folder is where the bookmarks are created if you click on the star on the address bar to bookmark the current site.

  You cannot delete this folder, but you can hide this menu entry in the bookmarks menu in the Firefox App menu with code in userChrome.css

  Add code to userChrome.css below @namespace.
