• How can I download multiple files or documents in the same folder of destination without redirecting every time?

  I often download 20 or if another company system files and save them in the same folder on my hard drive. Is there a way to "fix" the destination for files or documents folder when I download?

  Hi BruceBear,

  When you download files, Windows usually saves in the downloads folder, which is located under your user name in the users folder on the drive where Windows is installed (for example C:\Documents and Settings\nom of utilisateur\Mes Documents\Downloads).

  When you save the file, you can choose to save it in a different folder. By default, some file types are saved in different folders. For example, if you right-click on an image on a Web page and then choose Save picture as on the menu, the image will be saved in the default photos folder.

  You cannot specify a particular folder to be the destination for downloads.

  I downloaded a third party application in windows 7. I did change the location on the save location. Now I don't see the application and some newspapers for the application files. Is there an equal path from Windows Vista (C:\users\\Local) to Windows 7?

  Hi xoxo.ciao,

• What is the file deleted the files in the main folder, and can / should I remove it?

  What is the file deleted the files in the main folder, and can / should I remove it? Is it too much room, I could use?

  This file stores a list of files from previous version of Firefox that are no longer needed or supported in the current version of Firefox. This file is only a few KB and it is best not to delete files in the Firefox program folder to avoid update problems. If the required files are missing or modified with a update Firefox will download the full version (approximately 10 MB) instead of a small incremental update which is usually only a few hundred KB.

• Help! What's the trick to delete several files simultaneously in a folder. I have dffculty and as you can imagine it's very frustrating and begins to decrease the duration of my life.

  I press on and hold down the CTRL key, and then select each file to remove, but often find that my computer is copy them at the same time. I believe that to succeed when you delete individual files.

  If you want to select a single file at a time, click the 1 file / hold down SHIFT when you select / click on the other files. The other files will be featured

  Then you can delete them (press the delete key)

  If you want to delete all the files in the folder (the shortcut is - hold CTRL and press A).

  This will highlight / select all the files in the folder, and then press DELETE

• Can't see hidden files to delete in the folder C:\Documents and Settings\William\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

  C:\Documents and Settings\William\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files folder there are more than 135,000 files; nearly 2,000 cases and close to 3 GB of data. These files do not display and I can't remove them by deleting temporary Internet files. When I try to see the files to help to locate hidden files, only three very small files appear. How can I delete these files? Can I delete the folder and create a new one?

  William

  You can also enter your options Internet Explorer (via Control Panel), on the general tab, in the browsing history, there should be a settings button, once there, you should be able to select Show files in the temporary Internet files section.  Who will open the file for you and you can do CTRL + A (select all), and then delete.

  Some of the files in the folder may be used, and if they are in use, you will not be able to remove them.  You will need to know what is their use, cannot be used, then delete them.

• Cannot delete a file in a folder that I can see his name in the list of directories

  Help

  I can't delete a file that I can see in a folder and a list of directories of files.

  The name of the file is "000" without visible extension.  Don't know if there is a hidden extension, but it isn't.

  I went into the same folder using the "Command prompt" window

  However, to enumerate the files in the command prompt window, the file name is not visible, but the forlder report indicates that there is a file whose size is 15 bytes.

  The file is not readable in a normal DOS window or text editor, which means that a file such as 'Crimson Editor' Editor opens the file, but there is no visible ASCII character.

  How can I delete this file?

  It is a virus, and if so, how can I delete?

  Best regards, Roy

  Try using one of the following free products to remove the file.  Assassin http://www.malwarebytes.org/fileassassin.php of files (with or without forcing the deletion: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/12/27/force-delete-cannot-delete-locked-or-in-used-files-or-folders-with-fileassassin/) or Unlocker to: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml.  These programs often work when normal functions remove Vista not work correctly.

• can I delete old files from the version of the download folder?

  Original title: Deleting files from the download folder"

  I have improved my bit in Windows Vista, there are a large number of files downloaded into my download folder, can I delete the old version files?

  Hello

  Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

  If I understand correctly you want to delete the content in the folder downloads.

  Things that you download are actually Setup. Beams compressed files that are checked in the folder programs.

  If after installing the program these installation files have no real use because all the content has been extracted and copied.

  So you can delete them. But I suggest you keep a backup, because in case you want to reinstall them they will be very practical.

  Hope this information helps. Response to help you further. We are happy to help you.

• can I delete the files from the backup.backupb folder?

  I'm trying to restore a backup time machine on a hard drive that is smaller than the backup. It is safe for me to delete unnecessary files from the backup.backupb folder?

  Actually, no. Deleting files directly from the sparebundle will lead to file corruption.

• How can I delete a file named [Torrentreactor.to]

  000000

  We could use more information on the way in which the file came to be on your system and what program to assign you it.  In addition, it would be useful to know why you want to delete this file and where it is located (to see if we can learn more about it and its function and perhaps why, you find it difficult to do).  But I'll give a few suggestions based on certain assumptions that I'm going to do about the situation.  If you get error messages or the program starts to him alone without want you to do it, then please tell us that (and are exactly what that error messages and when the program starts).

  If it is part of a program that you no longer want, you need to uninstall the entire program rather than deleting its files (as suggested above by Bruce)- otherwise the pieces of the program will remain in your system files and in the register (and perhaps elsewhere) without good service (and be VERY difficult to find and safely remove later if you want to clean your machine).  If Vista uninstall does not work, try Revo to: http://www.snapfiles.com/reviews/revo-uninstaller/revouninstaller.html , who sometimes works when Vista standard uninstall programs does not work.

  Maybe you do not have permissions or ownership to delete the file (you should receive error messages - if yes, what are they).  Here's how to fix that:

  To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

  To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product.)  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  If it is an unknown file that you do not know how it got on your system and you are unable to delete in the normal way (which is I guess the case since you posted the question here), can carry by using one of the following free products to remove the file/folder.  Unlocker to: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml or file Assassin http://www.malwarebytes.org/fileassassin.php (with or without forcing the deletion: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/12/27/force-delete-cannot-delete-locked-or-in-used-files-or-folders-with-fileassassin/). These programs often work when normal functions remove Vista not work correctly.

• Accidentally deleted the file from Lightroom. Can't re - import and catalog is still full?

  So I may have to learn something of the hard, but hope that there may be a solution. I was storing my folder structure when I went to remove a folder empty and accidentally deleted my pictures of main root folder. I do not support upward as as much as I should and are now afraid I lost all those images of the catalouge. However, as you can see on the photo my catalouge said still there 22033 photographs in, and if I click on the catalouge all my photos are indeed there with the changes attached to them they are just not in a folder structure. In addition, when I go to re-import the root folder all images are grayed out and I can't select them, even if I uncheck the import suspected duplicates box. How can I get my file structure back or I'm in trouble?

  Thank you
