Impossible to rename all the files on my desktop

Hello
When I create a new folder on my desktop and rename it, the name does not change and it remains as 'new folder '. When I go into the properties of the particular folder box 'read only' is a blue square. So when I try and turn off the blue box is clear, it stays on and it will not turn off.
I am the administrator and I have full control of the folder according to the scutiry tab in the Properties menu. I am running Windows Vista Home Premium with a 200 GB hard drive and 3 GB of RAM and a processor clocked at 2.66 ghz.
Any help would be appreciated since I tried other responses on various forums and am no - where.
Thank you

Sooty1892,

I'd like to experience for me to better understand the potential cause for what you are experiencing.

What we will do is create a new folder in your user profile directory and test the availability of renaming.

We also create a folder on your desktop and attempt to appropriate to see if we can then rename it.

Here are the steps to do this:

Click Start-> click on your username at the top right of the menu.

In the new window, click on organize-> then new folder

Check your ability to rename.

From there, double-click the desktop folder.

Take the same steps to create a new folder, test the name change.

Then, on an issue that you cannot rename, test this procedure:

To take ownership of a folder:

Right-click the folder for which you want to set permissions, click Properties and then click the Security tab.

Click Advanced to open the security settings advanced for the dialog box .

Click on the owner tab, click on change. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

In the new security settings advanced to box, the change in ownership to: field, select your username and check Replace owner of subcontainers and objects. Click OK, repeat for the other boxes. (If your username does not appear click on the button other users or groups to add your account).

Try to rename the folder.

Once you are complete with tests, you can delete the folder created by right-clicking on them and selecting Remove.

View the results of your tests.

  • In all projects, all the files are locked (cannot change, delete, rename or move), file system is given

    Hi all,.

    Today, I started my JDeveloper and was rather surprised that I can't edit any file in any project that I opened. All files have a small lock in the upper left corner.

    screenshot-area-2015-06-12-085052.pngHere is a screenshot of the indication.

    I use git as my vcs. Git does not support file locks, but a svn. Maybe something gets mixed upward...

    Anyway that it blocks all the files in the projects that do not use the vcs.

    Thanks and greetings

    Thank you.  What I discovered yesterday, it was that after the project SVN on my local machine to test the command line build process, somehow some of the FPJs was missing!  Because the folders containing the missing FPJs were empty, I guess GUI HR could ignore and compile correctly.  It turns out that I have somehow missed tried all FPJs in source control.  Once I got all the archived FPJs, when I refresh svn at the local level, the construction of the command line worked well.

    Kind regards

  • All the files

  • My PC crashed. Restored on a new record and a new installation of FireFox. I can still access all the files. How do I take the old bookmarks if there is no backup?

    My PC crashed. Restored on a new record and a new installation of FireFox. I can still access all the files on the old drive. How do I take the old bookmarks if no backup exists, or has been completed? Does not save bookmarks of FireFox auto? If, then what is the file name and where is normally stored by FireFox?

    In fact, it can be easier...

    If you have the old drive connected as, say, drive E, go to:

    E:\Users\username
    

    Then click in the address bar and paste it after this and press ENTER to open it:

    \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    

    Normally, you have only one file, which has a random string followed by "default." In this case, click on this file and find the subfolder bookmarkbackups.

    If you find multiple profile folders, look inside to find the most recently updated backups.

    To restore the backup files, see: restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer

  • How to save all the files associated with a Web site?

    I'm an administrator (but not the creator) of a Web site that I am responsible for the update. I don't have the documentation that I need to do some of my tasks. So I thought that I could find enough simply to save the site from Firefox.
    The last time that I have this (several versions of Firefox there is), there is a command "save under" which would save the main HTML file in your selected folder AND save all the subsidiary referenced files in a single subfolder, so built a local version of the site.
    When I tried this today in v20.0.1, the two options "Save As" only created a single file of the current page with all the original references links on the left.
    Is there another way to 'dumping' of the entire application on my hard drive?

    I initially save as "Web Page, complete"? , but the hrefs all mentioned on the real web site, not to any local versions.

    I also tried the Scrapbook addon. It does not seem to do what I want, but I can't find where it stored all the files. I'll be back with the author of the album.

    PS. Why can't I find setting controls in shape when you enter a question?

  • How can you save dead MacBook using FireWire for iMac? I can view all the files on iMac, but don't know how to back up before, I reinstall MacBook.

    My MacBook Pro doesn't start then you want to erase and reinstall iOS. Before doing this I want to back up all my files. If I connect to imac via FireWire I can view all the files, but how can I save it it?

    If your MacBook will start in target disk Mode, follow the instructions on how to set up and use...

    Share files between two computers with target - Apple Support disk mode

    But you do not want to share files, just to save them. You can make a "clone", using disk utility. For cloning utility purposes use a program likeSuperDuper! or double clone.

  • How can I erase all the files on my iPod Nano (6th generation) and start over?

    I can sync is more manually all the files that I need on my iPod Nano (6th generation) to my Macbook (OS 10.6.8) because it is full.  Instead of delete folders and songs about the Nano, which would take forever, I'd rather delete it all and start by cleaning up the folder that I keep in my iTunes library (11.4), then by loading all on the Nano.

    How do I:

    (1) delete all music from the Nano?

    (2) see how many in the iPod folder in my iTunes library Macbook so I know what to remove?

    I know this must be a simple process, but it's been a long time I did!  Thanks for any help out there.

    When your iPod is connected to your MacBook, open iTunes, click on your iPod in the sidebar and in the 'Summary' tab, click 'Restore iPod.'

    If you don't see the sidebar in iTunes, go to the view menu in the menu bar, and then click see the sidebar.

  • I have about 14 000 songs in my library, about 4 copies of each of them. Try to remove duplicates, but can only do one at a time. I spent many hours, check all the files I want to delete only to find out that I can't delete them both?

    I have about 14 000 songs in my iTunes library, but really there are only about a quarter as much because there are so many duplicates. I don't know how they got there in the first place, and try to remove them is infuriating! I have already spent several hours going by checking all the files I want to remove (thinking that I would delete then all files at once) - only to find out that I still have to delete them one at a time. There must be a better way! Help, please.

    If you don't know that you want to delete all checked the songs in your library:

    • Create a new smart playlist with the following rules:

      This will show then checked all the songs in your library.
    • Select all the items in this playlist (Ctrl-A)
    • Hold the SHIFT key and press DELETE - follow the prompts to remove songs from your library and (if necessary) your PC media files

    In case of problem, you must back up your library before you do just in case the results are not what you expect - see tips to the user of turingtest2 on your iTunes for Windows with SyncToy to backup library for a suitable and recommended method.

    There is no 'simple' way to reliably remove duplicates from a library, but see the intelligence in this threadon the use of a scripted for removal of duplicates (for example).

    Long-term, try and avoid adding anything in your iTunes library that already exists in it - that's how arise the duplicates (unlike an opinion apparently dispersed, iTunes not of is duplicate anything in normal operation).  I've seen several comments suggesting here a few users to correctly copy their library from an old computer to a new one and then add the content of its media files - guaranteed way to finish with a copy of database entries or media files.

  • I deleted all THE files of rendering but have still 1.5 TB of unidentifiable used disk space. I don't have FCPX libraries on my 3 TB drive. Total area of libraries: 650 GB still Get Info says I use 2 100 GB! Any ideas? Thank you.

    I have deleted all THE files in my libraries FCPX rendering but have still 1.5 TB of unidentifiable used disk space. I don't have FCPX libraries on my 3 TB external drive. The total size of my libraries is 650 GB (when I add up the individual), but when I click on read the information for the reader, it says that I use 2 100 GB! It does not show that everything is on the disk. I went in each library individually in FCPX and deleted all THE files of rendering.  Reducing the total size of several concerts, but there are still almost 1 500 GB difference.

    I tried to copy all libraries on another drive and they occupy only 650 GB (with no unidentifiable used disk space). I'm a bit confused.  Someone at - it ideas?  I would like to release 1.5 TB that starting to use the new hard disk with only 650 GB and reformat the drive, but if there is some kind of hidden, important files on the original drive as FCPX needs to work properly I won't ruin the hundreds of hours I spent on editing. I hope that all makes sense. Thank you in advance.

    What version of Windows you want to transfer is irrelevant. What
    you need to do is just transfer to another computer.

    There are several approaches to do this. What is the best for you
    based primarily on the amount of data you transfer. Here are a few
    choice:

    1. transfer on diskettes.
    2. transfer to CDR or DVD.
    3. by email from the old machine, and read e-mail on the new
    one.
    4. the two computers on the network and simply copy the files on the
    network.
    5. temporarily (or permanently) install the old computer's hard
    drive in the new computer and just copy the top.
    6. use a USB
