I was doing some photo editing and to my surprise some of my images are copied into the file of hundreds of times.  How should I do

==============================================
Unwanted copies have file names with
copy "prefix of"?

Example: Copy of IMG_1455.JPG

If_yes_maybe the following tutorial, I wrote
for XP offers a few ideas:

Also... There is a link to another method
at the end of this tutorial.

Here's how to reproduce the unwanted
copy of...

Hold down your CTRL key and select multiple files...

Place your pointer over the selected group
(holding the key ctrl) and left click / drag
the group even just the slightest bit... now
release the mouse button.

Oooops... multiple copies...

Maybe the following will help:

Sometimes most of the person who
trying to select multiple by holding the CTRL
or the SHIFT key down while clicking on the left to select the
image files.

Copies are created when you are unable to
completely release the mouse button before
you move the pointer to another file. When a group
the selected file is dragged... even the slightest
release the mouse button will produce a bit...
copies of all the files previously highlighted.

It's a little easier if you have your folder
Options set at single click... that way you can
select/deselect a file with just a mouse more
and you don't have to click. For multiples you
I have to keep... CTRL or Shift.

Do not click on... no slip... no copy... maybe that of
your solution. To adjust the click...
Open a folder and go... Tools / folder
Options / General tab... Check... 'single click '.
To open an item"/ apply / OK.

If you want to delete all the files in a folder
You can try the following:

Reach... Edition / select all... or type... CTRL / has...

With all of the files selected... go... Drop / delete...
or press your delete key... or... click on the
Group and choose 'delete '.

How do I find and remove unwanted 'copies '.
of your image files.

Open the folder that the images are saved in and
on the left, click on the button 'Search' in your toolbar.

(If you view the files from a montage
program and do not know where the record is... right
Click on one of the image files and the menu...
choose... Properties. The path to the folder will be
in the tab 'General' to 'Place').

In the research pane select... "All files and folders".

In the "All or part of the file name" field. Come in...

a copy of

Now... on the left, click on the search"" button.

When the search is complete... go to... Edition / select all...

Then go to... Remove / delete.

You will see a dialog box asking if you are sure
you want to delete the files, click Yes.

Now... on the left, click on the 'Back' button in your toolbar.

Now the remaining files should be your originals.

If you delete the wrong files... recover from
your basket now.

    If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

    Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.
    After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.

  • When I open a link that opens a new Firefox window, it opens 2 tabs instead of one. How can I stop this?

    When I open a link that opens a new Firefox window, it opens 2 tabs instead of one. A tab is the link that I opened and the second tab is just a generic Mozilla tab with links to 12 pages like Facebook, Youtube, etc. This tab opens on top too, so I always have to close to get what I'm looking for. How can I stop this from happening?

    Hello. Thanks for all the posts on this topic. I have the same problem, as described by the op. But, while I use Avast, I have NOT the add-on from Astromenda which has been mentioned. However, I have the SB installed toolbar, and it has been recently updated, 29/12. I suspect that it is the culprit, if this problem is in fact not caused by an update of Firefox (my tiles have recently been reset on new tabs, and I suspect that Firefox for this problem).

    I am ready to remove the toolbar from the SB, but prefer to keep it (Yes, I admit I'm stupid) If this annoying 'new window = 2 tabs with 'new tab' at the top' would just leave.

    Apart from the removal of the toolbar SB... does anyone have suggestions? I don't see that all recently added add-ons/extensions that I don't recognize, apart from the update of the toolbar of SB.

    Updated: 5 minutes after this announcement, I disabled the toolbar of SB and restarted Firefox. No change.

    I have just upgraded to Windows 7. But whenever I turn on my computer, he wants to support me on my user account name before completely loading windows. How can I stop this and simply load in thank you Windows.

    Hi UKuser7,

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forum.

    Automatic logon is disabled in Windows 7 by default for security reasons. If it is enabled, anyone who can physically access the computer can also gain access to everything on the computer, including the networks that it is connected.

    This setting is only recommended for cases where the computer is physically secure.

    To set up Windows 7 to connect to the desktop automatically, follow the steps below.

    1) click Start , and then enter the following command in the start search box:

    Netplwiz

    2) press ENTER.

    This opens the Advanced user accounts Control Panel window.

    (3) in the users tab, uncheck the box next to users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.

    4) click apply at the bottom of the user accounts window.

    (5) when the newspaper automatically on the dialog box appears, enter the user name for which you want to automatically connect to Windows 7. Then enter your password in the two areas where it is requested.

    6) click on the OK button.

    7) click OK in the window user accounts to complete the process.

    Thereafter, your PC at startup, Windows 7 will be automatically connect.

    Ticket back for your comments and concerns.

    whenever I have copy a windows 7 image makes an automatic copy. How can I stop this?

    This happens also with music

    I would say that a copy would be the first thing I want to stop doing,

    If you want to move a file, then move

    Make a right-click dragging you will offer choices.

    Left-click dragging does not.

    If you right click and select copy, Stop and use to cut,

    Or use Alt + E and move to the folder.

    Hi j1234567890j - and everyone else that repsonded to the post.

    I also have expierence this problem and as with all those who have responded to this post one lot others that makes me crazy. To make things worse, this problem manifests itself also on open or save file dialog boxes in any application that relies on the Windows file dialog.

    In my case, I also found that the behavior is inconsistent. Sometimes the problem, and sometimes it isn't. -C' is why it is difficult to focus on the behavior and some people are unable to reproduce the problem. So, I think other answers on different computers where this problem cannot be replicated. As a developer, I understand that, since we often have the answer: "...". but it works in my computer... "- and yes it does, because usually a machine of dev/support is implemented for ideal circumstances. I digress...

    Trying to figure out the problem

    I noticed a pattern, however. I found that if I have the folder in question the collapse and redevelop (double click), the browser moves again, this time exposing all the subfolders that are direct descendants of the record in question. I also noticed that if subfolders are too many to display them in the navigation pane, the selected folder is scrolled to the top of the Panel, expose as many records which can be consulted.

    I think the intention of the browsing behavior, it is that when the user develops the folder, it will show as much as possible under folders in view - but I also think it is where there is a bug - or at least where some other parameter has an impact on behaviour. -For some reason, when a folder is expanded the navigation pane only finds the first subfolder and that one--exposes so boring movement of the folder selected from the current position of the mouse pointer.

    Find an answer

    And yes - even if I think that I understand the problem - I agree with everybody elses user experience - this needs to be fixed!

    I'm not sure that a moderator will pick up what this message is marked as awnsered - even if it isn't in my opnion.

    But if someone the fact: I think that provide an option on the general tab of the Folder Options dialog box, a user can turn off this behavior and expand just the folder without attempting to present all folders visible in the navigation pane.
