In Vista, application data file paths are not displayed properly, example C:\users\skywatcher\appdata\local\application data\application data\application data\application data\application data\

I have a problem with a directory of the user.

The path is C:\users\skywatcher\appdata\local\application data.

Application directory data are hidden.  However, by using the command "dir / ah" will show the directory as a 'carrefour '.

The problem is that this directory is the directory even inside himself to the seemingly infinite nesting.

in other words.

C:\users\skywatcher\appdata\local\application data\application data\application data\application data\application data\ etc. until that the path cannot be displayed below.

A problem with an app I'm trying to run it.

Y at - it a cure?

Thank you

These nested application data files contain any data?  If so, is it the same as that contained in the original folder?

I would like to treat this situation as a corrupt user profile.  To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.  If that is the only available Administrator Profile (you need to be an administrator to fix this), enable the Hidden Administrator Account (HAA) using http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?&lang=en&cr=US&guid=&sloc=en-us&dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_accounts_passwords&p=1&tid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055&mid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055.  If you don't remember the password, try nothing because that's probably what you (or seller) did during the installation.  Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.

When he is in the process of copy on the old profile files and folders, I first copy the folder of Application data to another location, just in case the change it causes unexpected problems - just make a copy and put it in your Documents folder for now (you can remove it later if everything works as expected). Remove the nested application data folders (unless they contain information are not not in the main folder - then I would probably copy it in the main folder, and then delete).  This, so that there is only one Application data folder.  Then copy it to the new profile.  You may have problems to access these records.  If Yes, click on properties, advanced security and check if all the user has denied access.  If so delete this entry and you should be able to work with the folder.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

  • File extensions are not displayed in my windows Explorer

    I use Windows XP SP2. Since I do on this specific computer software development, being able tp see file extensions in my window of the Explorer would be very useful.

    It is a big problem for me because when I need to do something with executables of the application that I've done, I have to guess which file is good.

  • file names are not displayed under thumbnails

    CS 5

    Mac os 10.6.7

    no update available for cs5 or mac os x.

    It was working fine until today.  then poof - no file name - they show if I highlight a thumbnail - in selection on the left side table and in the area of meta etc. data - but the text and notation etc under the thumbnails from the main area disappeared.  I tried different readers (to see if 1 cache is maybe corrupted)... and restarted the bridge and the Mac... I checked all preferences and display settings - nothing of what I see to disable file names / sides. I also made that the theme has not been changed.

    any help would be appreciated.

  • Offline files indexed are not displayed in search results

    I've recently updated my PC and now have Windows 7. I want to be able to search for files on a PC on a network (Windows XP).

    I set the folders as "always available offline" and rebuilt the index, but when I search the offline files do not appear in the results.

    I did the same configuration on another new PC on my network and research shows the offline files. So, I don't think that there is a problem with the settings on the XP PC.

    I hope I missed something obvious, any ideas appreciated.

    How does outward indexing? If you are having problems with the search, such as unusually slow searches or incomplete search results, run the troubleshooter of search and indexing to see if he can diagnose the problem.

    ·         Open the troubleshooter of search and indexing by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type Troubleshooting, and then click Troubleshooting. Click view all, and then click on Search and indexing.

    Depending on the severity of the problem, the resolution of the problems of search and indexing may have to restart the Windows Search service.

  • Network paths are not displayed when you create a new reservation, but due to storage

    I want to create a new reserve of vsphere with a new endpoint vCenter that I just added (our 2nd point endpoint vCenter).  Storage of the paths appear fine in the "resources" tab, but on the tab network shows the network paths.  I have validated that there are 3 groups of ports distributed that appear in vSphere client to web, so I know they exist.

    Has anyone seen this behavior?

    Hello

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite P200 with Vista home premium

    A few weeks ago that some pages on the web incorrectly displayed as e bay, face book, Amazon I did a virus check etc. no joy.
    I did a diagnostic test and results said "failed test network!

    I looked in Device Manager and under network there is a driver called ADAPTER ISATAP on right click that says that it is working properly.

    It seems that this could be the problem. Could I delete this driver and download it again?
    Could someone offer advice on this subject any comments would be more useful

  • When you try to install Internet Explorer 9 in Vista, got code 80070017 error, SFC/Scannow shows the corrupted files that are not resolved

    I had a lot of trouble with my vista system (the most recent is an error code 80070017 when you try to install the update IE-9).  I ran sfc.exe/scannow and have a CBS file with several currupt files that are not fixed.  I'm over my head from the experience now.  Can someone help me?  Thank you!

    Original title: Vista files corrupt

    Try to run in safe mode.

    If there are files corrupted again after that, you can mount the image file .iso for the same version of Windows, you probably Vista SP2 - OR - put the disc in the drive.

    (Make sure same version x 86 or x 64 also!)

    Then use 7zip to look in the file \Sources\install.wim for files without a problem. Copy and paste from here directly on those on your HARD drive.

  • Search duplicate files which are not linked to Active Folders

    I have several duplicates in my iTunes. Most of the duplicates is more related to active records. I can find how to find duplicates and I can find how to remove them, but there is no sort option that detects files that are not in my current records.

    I don't know what you mean by "linked to active records. Do you mean that you have files in folders that are not related to iTunes, or your library entries that are not related to the files?

    iTunes can create duplicates if the same content is added several times from outside the media folder when it is about to make copies of everything that is added to the library, or is added from an external drive that hosts the press kit that was disconnected during the launch of iTunes.

    Official notice of Apple on the duplicates is here: find and remove duplicates in your iTunes library. This is a manual process and article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as the lost coast and membership of playlist, or sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library as well as a removal and recycling the file will break all the others.

    Use MAJ > display > show items to reproduce exactly to display the duplicates because it is normally a selection more useful. You must manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sort the list by Date added can make easier select appropriate tracks, but it works better when executed immediately after the dupes were created.  If you have several entries in iTunes connected to a same file on the disk hard then don't not send to trash.

    Use my DeDuper script (Windows only) If you are not sure, do not want to do it by hand, or want to maintain ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this background thread , this post for detailed instructions and Please take note of the warning to back up your library before deduping.

    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to temporarily view or CTRL + B to keep displayed.)

    The latest version of the script can put away the dead links as long as there is at least a double live to merge his stats and membership of the playlist and must deal wisely when the same file has been added through multiple paths.

    In its current form the script processes only the files that are added to the library. If you have orphaned files in the media folder these could be added to the library before you start deduping.

  • DW CS5 file names are not in the window files?

    Hi everyone, it's absolutely makes me the wall now, but when I go to download files, it does not display the file on my remote server name in Dreamweaver CS5 (files window) in some cases! The only way I can locate a file is first find the date/time last modified, make a note of it and find it. It's very embarrassing. Why DW does not display the name of the file in some cases. Thanks much for any help.

    PS. This occurs when the files are in a folder, in a folder, in a folder, it is the third file in the folder of the site.

    When records are deeply nested, the column displays the file name is not wide enough. You must make the column wide by dragging the separator in the title at the top of the files Panel bar.
