Impossible to rename files in Windows 7 "cannot find this item.

Similar Questions

• Rename a product folder "cannot find this item. By clicking on "Try Again" always works. Why?

  This isn't the same problem as similar comments that relate to the inability to delete the folders that contain the zero byte files.

  If I try to rename a file in my system, I get "Cannot find this item" with the choice of 'Try Again' and 'Cancel '. When I click 'Try Again', it always succeeds. -My system is not paralysed - but it is quite boring. I can even right-click on my desktop and choose 'new... '.  Folder"and type a name, and I get"cannot find this item ". What is interesting is that the name of the element changes even before I click on 'Retry '.

  If I have a folder named "Folder1" and I rename it to "Folder2", I get the error "Folder1" could not be found - that is in fact true, as it is already renamed "Folder2".

  Why Windows 7 looking for the old folder name after renaming it? I also disabled AVG live scanner without result.

  Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  I finally got.

  I used the same solution for the similar problem in Windows Vista. Once I got to my company laptop, I exported this 2 registry keys.

  Hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\folderdescriptions

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\FolderDescriptions

  Merged with my pc and this is!

  The "shell" command also works again (ex: shell: staff opens the account folder)

  I downloaded the reg file and you can get it here http://cid-fb5a28bc4a1cc9b6.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Public/Folder%5E_fix%5E_win7%5E_x64/FolderDescriptions.rar

  This is for Win7 x 64. Use it at your own risk.

• "Cannot find this item" error when renaming files

  I have two Windows 7 x 64 machines which were normally front of patches from Windows Update Tuesday.

  After the patches I started having problems with computers, and now when I try to rename or move a file I get the error:

  This item is not found
  This is more in [path of the Director].  Check the location of the item and try again.

  A PC has six discs in and the other has two discs and I get this error when changing the name/move folders on any of the eight discs.  I tried to connect several different external drives and rename/move files on them, but I get the same error.  It seems to be a large problem system rather than the corruption of the disks.

  It seems that this bug has been around for many years, and the patches Tuesday appear to have triggered it in my two PC.  I've seen a lot of solutions proposed online but nothing worked for me.

  Someone knows how to fix this?

  I finally found a solution that works here:

  http://www.techjawa.com/2010/05/01/guide-fix-Windows-folder-renaming-could-not-find-this-item/

  Looks like Windows Update has been trigger this bug for a while.  Would be nice if Microsoft would fix it.

• Error message: "cannot find this file" and songs seem to disappear from Windows Media Player 11.

  Original title: my songs seem to disappear from windows media player 11

  I make a playlist and some of the songs come with a "cannot find this file" dialog box I click on 'place to open the file' and the song is there but will not play. Help, I'm losing songs at an alarming rate.

  Hi Akledge,

  1. this happens only for songs with a specific file format?

  2. What is the full error message that you receive?

  3. have you made a recent software or hardware changes to the system?

  Method 1:

  You can try to start the Windows Media Player (WMP) Fixit from link and check if it helps:

  Solve the problems of Windows Media Player video and other media or library

  For more information, see the article:

  Error message when you type the name of a file to play with Windows Media Player: "Cannot open file."

  Method 2:

  If the problem persists, you can visit the article to rebuild the WMP library and check if it helps

  You cannot view, add, or delete items in the library of Windows Media Player 11

  Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

• Error message when you try to download Windows Defender: "first remove Microsoft Client Protection." Cannot find this file through the Add/Remove, search, including hidden or Win Explorer.

  Original title: trying to download

  WinXP SP3, Security Scan run and d/ld: error message when you try to download Windows Defender: "first remove Microsoft Client Protection." Cannot find this file through the Add/Remove, search, including hidden or Win Explorer. What to do now would be much appreciated.

  Also have a related problem about MS Maliciouws software removal tool. For download, but read in the KB that: in XP, the vacuum cleaner will remove the malware, but doing so may trigger the File Protection Win with damages to my operating system.  the tool will attempt to repair the damage, but to rehabilitate prior to infection, that I need to insert the CD of Win. As my computer came with Windows preinstalled, I do not have a disk and will not take the risk of damage, that I can't fix. Do I not download or not... ? Another solution... ?  I also fear that this tool could settle into the routine Win Update and need guidance on the prevention of this facility, if possible, or what to do if it cannot be prevented.

  It can have nothing to do with any of the foregoing. " I'm relaying only because it occurred during the same mission of update: had msg of error that Win Firewall has not been set as a default, which reset, but found this hidden file when searching for the Protection of the customer: "Win 32/Hackdef' - it was a config with the extension ini file and was deleted by Scan."

  Thanks a lot for any assistance.

  Hello

  ·         You have Microsoft Security Essentials on your computer?

  If you have windows installed on your computer security essentials, then you will not be able to install Windows defender. Windows Security Essentials has antispyware component installed.

  You get the error because you have installed MS Security Essentials, which has its own function to antimalware. You don't need or want to install Windows Defender, too. Leave MS Security Essentials installed and do not turn it off.

  You can turn on or turn on the firewall in Windows XP, please see the link below:

• Vista error lance when the mdb Access 2007 file is "double click": Windows cannot find this file (the file clicked)

  File mydatabase.accdb contains a startup with this VB Code form:

  Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
  Application.Quit
  End Sub

  When this mdb file icon is "double click", Vista throws the error message "Windows cannot find this file...". ».
  Right-click on the icon of this mdb file and 'Open' is selected, Vista get error "Windows cannot find this file...". ».
  Right click on this file mdb and 'Open with' icon is selected, and then Access 2007 is selected, the file opens in Access and closes normally.

  No amount of sleep before or after that Quit has any influence on behavior.  However, copy the following code:

  Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
  MsgBox "Stop".
  Application.Quit
  End Sub

  will open the file normally, vomit MsgBox with the string 'Stop' and closes normally when "OK" is selected.

  It worked on Access 2003 on Windows XP.

  It's rock solid reproducible (on my Lenovo T400).  It fails in the same way when Vista arrives in a "clean boot".

  Any ideas?

• Cannot delete the file. Says "not not found could not find this item check the location of this object and try again."

  Cannot delete the file.  Says "not not found could not find this item check the location of this object and try again."

  I got this file from my friend got sent - is a word document, I had on their computer.  So I tried to use Disk Cleanup to delete temporary files, temporary internet files and files program downloaded.  Does not work.

  When I check the properties, there is no security tab so I can't transfer ownership in this way.

  I don't want to experiment using the way of the transfer of ownership command prompt as the name of the file is several sentences long.  I can't rename it either, of course.

  Windows 7, a week and I already have a stupid problem which has already lost an hour of my time.

  What I did was to create a Notepad file that was empty and saved in the same location as the file that won't go away.  Once registered.  I click with the right button on the new file and rename the exact name as the file problem.  Don't forget to change the file extension (ex: .doc)

  ex file problem: word.doc

  new file: word.doc

  as long as they match eachother exactly you should see the file problem disappear and once that's gone, you can delete the new file created.

• Flash the disk errors "cannot find this point, located more in the computer.

  OK, I'm trying to copy a file to a flash drive.  It crashes when you try to copy and then gives me the error message "cannot find this point, located more in the computer.

  I tried to drag and drop several different files and file types, and I get the same error message.

  I tried several different flash drives and I get the same message. All flash drives that I tried on this computer work on other computers and I can drag and drop files on the flash drive.

  I've tried several different USB ports on my computer and I still get this message.

  Thus, the issue is not with my flash drive or the files I'm trying to copy because I tried several types of files and several different flash drives. I deleted the USB driver and reinstalled with no resolution.

  I use Windows 7 premium x 64

• Windows Installer cannot find the "Crusher".

  How can I get rid of these annoying errors on windows install, impossible to find the "Crusher?

  The first message appears usually when I try to start a program or shut down the computer, 'Shredder.  Error 1706.  Valid any source not found for the mill product.  Windows Installer cannot continue. "If I click OK it starts a series of Wintows with"Please wait while we configure Shredder. "Come then:"the component you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or another removable disk that is not available.  Insert the disc of "Destroyer" and click OK. "(I have no such disc.)  and "the path '1' is not found."  It's the bottom of the rabbit hole and I click on CANCEL.  No harm, no fault.  I learned to, click CANCEL has the first appearance of this embarrassing sequence of messages and as if I knew what I was doing.

  If someone out there REALLY knows how to "fix" this?

  Proudcon.

  Its caused by a third party utility that you have installed, possibly a maintenance utility
