How to rename the default folder names

When you open the file Explorer, 'This PC' records have default names such as 'Documents' and 'pictures '. I prefer to call them differently (say, "Robert's Documents" and "Photos of Robert"). How can I change the names of these folders?

Hello

Use the file Explorer

Navigate to their location under your username - click right on - rename.

C:\Users\"your username.

or while it is highlighted in Explorer - under the Home tab - click on rename

  • How to get the right folder name/location during import?

    I can't get LR 3.x to import into the desired folder structure, as I used to do with

    LR 1.x and 2.x.  I am trying a structure that looks like this:

    http://content.screencast.com/users/jfriend/folders/Jing/media/2e238e71-feda-4a1d-adb1-65124c611838/2011-02-26_2200.png

    I want LR to automatically create a folder with the timestamp in it and find the right year and then let me in the last part of the name of the folder that identifies the object, prior to importation.  So far, all I can get is the name of the file generated automatically by date with no ability to edit or a folder name completely custom where I locate correctly and typing the entire name, including the date.  In LR 1.x and 2.x, it was really easy.  LR suggest the name of the folder (or multiple folder names if the images extend over several dates) with the date in it, and I could double-click it to add the additional designation prior to importation.  Could not find any way to do in LR 3.x.  Does that mean, that I have to do the import, wait it ends and then go back and manually rename each file that it created.  It's especially a pain when there are several folders (through multiple dates) or when my backup program has already hit and made a backup of the date generated automatically until I come and rename it manually.

    So my question is, how do I get LR for the right folder name based on the date in the folder location good auto suggestion and I would like to add something on the end of it before importing?  It was very easy in the import of LR1.x and 2.x.

    He slipped under the radar when again the new window import. If all goes well, we will get it back in the next major update. In the meantime. You can add the importation of additional text in right click on the folder name and then selecting rename in the context menu.

  • How to restore the default folder of "Vidéo" in the folder owner?

    Hi all and I am currently using Vista Home Premium (language: traditional Chinese)
    I accidentally deleted the default "Video" folder in the folder permanently owner
    I used some file recovery software to restore files inside
    but the files could be restored while the default folder could not be restored
    so that applications that allow to download online videos cannot be saved in this directory
    so I would ask how to create / restore the default folder of video (with the icon that is different in the common files folder)?

  • How to rename the report server name

    Hello

    I would like to know how we can rename the report server. We have dev and environment in the same network of prod and it seems that the name of the report server must be unique.

    I followed the following link and also changed the $OH\sysman\emd\lastupld.xml file.
    How to change the name of report server?

    When I try to run the report, it still doesn't seem to work. Then, in the 'Application Server Control', I am unable to see the renamed server name.

    Please provide any information.

    Thank you

    Perhaps.

    If you talk about the forms Dev tool there are several ways to do so. I could try, it's find and replace SQL inside forms to see if the report server is hardcoded.

  • How to change the default folder to scan hp 4680

    Hello

    I want to change the default destination for the scans folder.

    Hi aohp76 ,

    What printer do you have?

    I think that you will have to save the destination for each default shortcut location.

    Example: Photo to create the file save location.

    Saving photo location create e-mail.

    After that they were recorded for each shortcut, software should be failing at this default location for saved.

    If you still have problems with the default location, recording does not, on the Sava to the window Options to save file, check 'interrogate these Options at the time of backup. This will allow at least allows you to select the new destination.

    Most likely, if the software is not to keep the settings by default, the software might has been corrupted.

    Uninstall and reinstall the printer software.

    Please let me know the results.

    Thank you.

  • ~ How to set the default folder to the bookmarks star? ~

    I would like to change the location of the folder of bookmarks created by star.

    I don't think that there is a built-in way to do it.

    To call the dialog box with the Menu bookmarks instead of Unsorted Bookmarks, you can use one of these methods:

    • CTRL + d
    • Right-click on an empty area of the page, then click the star on the shortcut menu
    • (menu bar) Menu bookmarks > bookmark this Page

  • 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.

    Windows Vista Junction Points:
    http://www.Svrops.com/Svrops/articles/jpoints.htm

    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 restore the default permissions (for example, the users folder) in windows 7?

    Dear windows users,

    Recently, I messed up the permissions of the files. What happened is that I took my laptop hard drive (win 7 64 bit system) in a USB external hard drive case. Then I get the USB into another windows office 7. I went through the users (perhaps of other files) folder in the hard disk of laptop on the desktop via a USB connection. It is very likely that the Office has changed the permissions of the files.
    I put the hard drive to my laptop, but some applications gives error like access denied messages.
    Is there a safe way to fix them? How to reset the default permissions?
    Thank you.
    BTW, have you worked with permissions of folders? Do you know what happens if permission to c:\users is messed up?

    When permissions in a subfolder in the users folder are confused so the user will not be able to run some programs, to create, modify or delete some files. The folder property affected, followed by assigning appropriate permissions, is usually sufficient to solve the problem.

  • How to choose a default folder to save the files?

    For a long time, a chosen folder previously remained by default until this that changed.  In a recent "improvement" of the reader, the file previously used to saving a file has been forgotten. So for the number of files that I get to mark each day, I have to enter the same folder name each time.  What created a waste of time and energy to Adobe!

    With this new iteration, Adobe saw sense and created a sticky for the to do folder option?

    You change the name in the first field in the first page of the wizard and the file to generate. It must be a folder on your hard drive.

    You change the publication record in the last page of the wizard. Wherever you want to.
