I can't rename files or folders in my 'downloads '.

I'm unable to rename files or folders from my "Downloads" folder I ran various scans and a folder of the Microsoft fix it tool, but it came in fine. No error message, it just rename after I type the new name and press ENTER. I also checked that I have the folder owner and I am the only administrator (principal).

I have to move the files to another location, rename them and get them back. I can't find anything on this error anywhere else.

I found someone else who has this problem in 2011 with no resolution:

I use Windows 7 64-bit.

Why are you pressing on enter?

Right-click on the file, rename. and move your mouse. That's all.

  • Can I recover files and folders moved to the Temp profile

    Hello

    A user is logged on with a temporary profile on Vista.  They have seen their name in the start menu and assumed everything was fine.

    After having seen that their office was wrong, they went check 'My Documents', and obviously they weren't there.

    The user then crossed ' computer > C: > users and found their office and documents.

    Then they moved them (not copied) on the desktop and "My Documents" to the active profile.

    Now when they have logged off and back on, their original profile has been restored but their desktop and "My Documents" have been shortened just to the Temp profile.

    Is it possible to recover data from the user? keeping in mind that there is no backup of their data.

    Method 3:
    You try to perform a restore of the system to a previous point, when the issue was not present.

    Note: When you use System restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    To do this, there must be a restore point from the system in which the connection was successful.

    Hi mate

    I assume you are using Win7. Right?

    Cannot rename files (programs) that appear in the Start Menu.

    You can ONLY rename folders.
    If you click on all programs, then you should also see some folders there.
    Right click on the folder and you should see the option rename.
    Choose this option and then you should be able to rename the folder

  • Rename files in Lightroom 3 when importing (problems)

    I can trouble importing files into Lightroom name where I want to custom their name - sequentially. I import the data to a folder on my hard drive in the folder that contains all of my files in lightroom. I am able to import and rename files in folders with ease. Others said Lightroom 3 couldn't have their name. Why? If I try to import and rename in LR2 I have no problem. I'm basically a Nikon generated file, say DSC0001. NAVE and rename in Ireland 07-30 - 08.NEF. Lightroom 3 cannot do. Anyone know why? Thank you.

    I'm renaming all my during the import of the NAVE.

    Here's how:

    and it works very well.

    There is another problem with the import you might encounter. The actual files on the file system and records, he presents in the library do not correspond regarding the rental structure. Try to pass will result in an error message that the file cannot be moved because it is already there. If you run this as well, just let me know for a solution. Hope that Adobe fixes this annoying very quickly.

  • Windows media player is anyway to get media player to recognize a zip file? I get the error message the media player can't read file - unrecognized codec?

  • Rename files in sequential order

    original title: numbering of sequential files

    After spending many hours of editing and sorting photos from a recent trip I want to bring to a treatment for printing shop in a local photo book. Unfortunately their software performs a sort on the date modified date taken so they are out of use. I well I could work around this by renaming the files with sequential numbers, so every selected and renamed and it have been renamed as follows
    Europe (1)
    Europe (2)...
    ... europe (10)...
    .. .eourope (100)...

    Unfortunately the software in machine shops treats these numbers as text rearranges so files (when they are sorted by name) as follows
    Europe (1)
    Europe (10)
    Europe (100)
    Europe (2)
    Europe (20)
    Europe (200), etc., in other words, they are still didn't stop.

  • 'Read only' look for files and folders

    I think a virus entered in my computer and changed 80% of my documents and files in a 'read only' appearance, even if they are still available to make changes and can be saved with the changes. This has happened after the repair of the system by restoring to an earlier date.

    1. Why do you have this happen: was it really a virus?

    2. How can I go back to the previous 'typical' aspect of the documents and records?

    Hello

    What security program is installed on the computer?

     

    Method 1: Strange behavior could be due to the virus.

    Since you can now access files and folders, you can run the virus scan just to be sure.

    Here is a link that will give you information on how to perform a full scan of the system:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

     

    Method 2: You can also check:

    You cannot view or change the read-only or the attributes of system files in Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7
