I bought a 128 GB Flash drive before reinstalling my windows. Can you please advise me how to use it to save all, My Documents, Internet explorer, Mozilla Firefox & Google Chrome I have many Favorites saved on all of these programs.

Thank you very much

Mr J R wild.

Open your user folder:

Press Windows key + R

Type: %UserProfile%

Press enter on your keyboard

Select view files and folders

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/show-hidden-files

then

Highlight all folders in your personal folder (press on Ctrl + A or click on organize > Select All)

(Press Ctrl + C or click arrange > copy)

Open the thumbdrive

(Press Ctrl + V or click arrange > stick)

When you enable Show hidden files and folders, it copies the AppData folder that copies your custom settings for applications like Word dictionary and bookmarks for applications such as Chrome and Firefox.

Go to the work computer, then copy and paste these files in the respective locations.

Don't forget to enable Show hidden files and folders.

    This question is perhaps out of bounds for this site, but as MS I thought I would give it a shot. Laughing out loud

    I tried for a while to use a flash drive to download mods and to my games on my 360 expansion packs. However, I can't make it work. According to the website of XBOX 360, it can be done, but after following the instructions, I had no chance.

    Anyone have any ideas here?

  • How to use a flash drive for HP Pavilion p6331 with Windows Vista for backup worki?

    Hello

    While I have a master's degree, my know-how is written the text, does not not with the computer functions that are new to me.  Whenever I try to my backup job, the default setting of my Media Smart desktop assumes that my files will be sent to some separate, newly purchased drive, drive E.  However, I don't have any drive E!  I bought some DVDs but they keep rejected and cannot be written above.  Seems cheaper solution was to buy a flash drive.  I tried to save, but the menu showed that drive new E or "insert DVD."  What I need to know where/how is insert (front of the back of the Tower?) flash player and the "selection" of this option.  Do I need to buy a special cable to connect this small Lexar Flash drive, 16 GB?

    Thanks for all the words of wisdom.

    Hello leathergirl. I checked the model number on the HP website and did not find a system with this model you listed.

    You can see the card reader in the E: drive when you try to back up your data.

    You should be able to navigate to any location (by car) which is able to accept data during backups. I don't recommend that you use the backup but just Windows copy and paste all data, such as documents, pictures, music, etc..

    Unless you use DVD +/-RW disc, the DVD disc can have that data written (burned) to them once. DVD +/-RW can be rewritten several times before becoming defective.

    The Lexar 16 GB Flash drive USB should be inserted into the USB port on the front and then recognized by the operating system and drivers must be installed by the operating system.

    You should be able to copy and paste your data to the Lexar FlashDrive using Windows Explorer. Lexar Flash drive must be placed in the list of drives on the left side of the screen when using Windows Explorer.

    I'm doing a back up on my laptop for the first time. I want to know how long does take to make it complete? and can I use a flash drive to put it on the back

    Yes, you can use a flash drive.

    It is conventional to use an external hard drive. Mine has a capacity of 1 TB of sub Canandian $100.

    As for how long, it varies. Depends on the amount of files to back up.

    I think that the first time I did it was an hour.

    The next backup would be shorter because he'll be increment backup... just save those who are new.

  • How to copy a flash drive to another?

    Original title: copy the USB

    How to copy a flash drive to another. It contains just ordinary excel data files only, no files or libraries

    Thank you

    Which removes the 1 Player files? (move rather that copy?

    Only one query: currently I more than 640 excel files on my USB key, I want to do it all in a single operation.

    None of the files or libraries currently in use on this USB key

    To avoid covering your desktop with files 640 +, make a folder for them, and copy them into it.

    When you drag files from one drive to another in Windows, it makes a copy of them. If you drag files from a folder to one another on the same drive he moves.

    If you actually want to move the files, you can use the right mouse button to drag and when let you go, it will give you a small menu of options such as move or copy.

    So, no, it will not erase the files from the first hard drive.

    HTH,

  • How to open the flash drive on mac?

    How to open the flash drive on mac? NOT IN THE BROWSER. On the desktop as windows. When I double click on windows icon, it opens a window where I can open my swf file by 'open'-> 'Browse' then choose my file and click on 'OK '. ON MAC, there is no freaking icon. I've been looking hours wasted because of bullshit like this. I tried the alternatives, but they open the games. They only open the videos. SO HOW TO OPEN THIS WINDOW ON MAC?

    I FINALLY FOUND IT. When you google flash drive brings you always in the wrong place. If you search for "adobe flash player" or "adobe flash projector" leads to a page that installs it as a plugin for your browser. If you want real flash drive as on pc you can do 'open'--> 'Browse' then choose my file and click on 'OK' download Adobe flashplayer - Debug downloads.

    Get off at mac and download 'To download the Flash Player projector'

    I hope this helps for the future people, man it was a fight
