• Windows XP sp3 can not find a file that I know is there

  Windows XP sp3 can not find a file that I know is there. I even copied the file to the desktop, but research still cannot find the file. He may not get indexed. But on a search for *.mp3, it will include this file. I've searched all files and folders, file name or name part and content, but the search is empty.

  The reason why I asked is that this *.mp3 IS a 'partial file name.

  If the file is an MP3 file (music), I doubt if you could ever find by searching for "contained in the file," then relevant chess is why it was not found using the complete file name or part of the name.

  If the file is not hidden, the only other thing I can think is that there is some special characters in the name of the file that is not obvious when you look at it.

  For example, there was quite a "Drunk Philly' in 1974 called hit"when will be I see You Again"by the three degrees. Let's say you have decided to appoint an this (3) .mp3 mp3 file. It would be a legal folder name, but a search for 3º.mp3 won't find it. This is because the name of the file, I used the 'degree' (Unicode 00B 0) symbol and the search string uses the symbol "masculine ordinal' (Unicode 00BA). These symbols are almost identical to the nekkid eye (can not use the actual word here), but not to a computer search engine.

  Replace any part of the name of the file, except the extension using the * wildcard would make the search works, but if you have used the 'partial' name, includes all who is this character, which could cause the problem.

  To test, I suggest renaming the file. See if research there now. If so, rename, go back to what you think it was--but use the keyboard, not copy and paste to get the name of "origin". Search finds now?

• When I do a file search he finds all files with the same keyword, I'm on windows 7

  File search only returns a file name in the search when there are several files whit the same keyword as I entered, this just started to happen.  When I typed a keyword in search it returned previously all files with the same keyword, now it returns only one of the files?

  Thanks for your suggestion, I'll give it a try and get back to you.

  I agree about the garbage, I got several questions on my HP Desktop & Windows 7.  My system crashed once, he took over at Best Buy, they told me my operating system has been altered, but could not tell me how to reload my OS unless I paid them $ 125 for the info.  In any case, I took my corrupted HP back at home plugged and it started as nothing is never past, sickening!

• Windows 7 says it cannot find a file, but I'm looking for good home!

  I have a folder on my hard drive that I can open and view the content.  However, if I try to open all files or do something for the record (move, rename, delete) it says "unable to find this article.  It is no longer in the music of C:\Users\***\My.  Check the location of the item and try again. "At this point, I want to just delete it.  Help, please!

  Hi trekds9,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.

  a. What is the name of the folder?
  b. what type of files are there in this folder?
  (c) where is it located on your computer?

  Try to delete the files in safe mode.

  To use the safe mode option, follow these steps:

  1. reboot your computer and start pressing F8 on your keyboard. On a computer that is configured to start to multiple operating systems, you can press the F8 key when the Boot Menu appears.
  2. use the arrows to choose appears in the Advanced Options in Windows Safe Mode menu and press ENTER.

  You can also use Disk Cleanup to clean all the files on your computer.

  1. open Disk Cleanup by clicking the Start button. In the search box, type and then disk cleanup in the list of results, click Disk Cleanup.
  2. in the drives list, click the drive you want to clean, and then click OK.
  3. in the dialog box disk cleanup, on the Disk Cleanup tab, select the check boxes for the types of files that you want to remove, and then click OK.
  4. in the message that appears, click on delete files.

  Hope this information is useful.
  Let me know if it worked.
   
  Thank you, and in what concerns:

• Windows XP, you see only not all files in Windows 7 shares

  I see an embarrassing problem that occur on two different sets of machines on different networks.  The initial symptom that led me to study was that software synchronization third laptop XP Pro SP3 computer a user has acted improperly, saying that some files in directories on a Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit computer were gone, but they really were.

  I traced the problem in several directories on the Windows 7 machine display incomplete content seen on the XP machine network.

  For purposes of explanation, //Desktop/Folder is a share on the Windows 7 computer, which has 167 files it contains.  If you open this share on a networked XP Pro computer, it shows only 140 files.

  For example, File1.doc and File2.doc are both in this shared directory on the Windows 7 computer.  However, on the XP machine, File1 does not appear in the directory.

  On the Windows 7 machine, File1.doc and File2.doc are identical regarding permissions and attributes.  The only differences are the size and creation date.  Look at the rest of the 27 "missing" files in this folder, the results are the same - I see no difference.  The files are not password-protected.

  I have reproduced this exact behavior with the same data on different machines with the same operating systems.  All machines are completely up to date with respect to updates.  There is no detected malware on any of them.  They are on the same workgroup.

  This change in behavior has happened apparently quite recently that the user had no problem with the synchronization software for laptop until last week.

  Can anyone suggest what could happen here?

  Thanks for your reply, Jonathan.

  I traced the problem to Avast (any flavor).  It turns out that it's a known problem, but not a single notice of too many people.  It is really so when you try to run the software of synchronization between two networked computers and directories that you synchronize are affected by the bug of Avast as the synchronization software performs a very detailed comparison.

  When I uninstalled Avast on the source (Windows 7) XP machine could see all the files in all the network shares.  When I reinstalled Avast, the problem returns.

  I have a ticket in Avast on this problem.

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• I installed windows 8 and can not find all my favorites etc. I tried to reset, but it did not help. How can I restore my old info?

  I tried to find my old firefox database files on explorer 7, but the old files I tried came because can not open or cannot be found. I tried the suggestions of mozilla help on what files contain the news but got the same results. I have reset but it did give me a few new things I've done since the installation of windows 8.

  Hello, have you installed windows 8, more an another operating system on a single computer and you have any form of prior backup available?
  one thing you might try is to search the whole file system (make sure to include also hidden sites) for the term bookmarks*.json - if all results appear with a date in the file name that is before installing windows, then you probably import them into your firefox profile.

• How to prevent the FF31 opening new window? I want to open all links in a new tab at the top of page.

  I think the following quote, below, for help on the page is my problem.

  I have a site that I use when I click on a link in the Web site it opens a new window with the tab down. In addition, when this happens, I lose the orange rectangle FireFox, bookmarks and navigation options. How can I define FF31 so that the link opens in a new tab, and I keep all my options? I use Classic theme restaurateur 1.2.3. I also note that, in the new window, I lose the ability to use some of the addons.

  I have two laptops and both are running FF31 and W7. One of them works perfectly and the other is having this problem. As far as I can tell they are both defined by the same. The only difference is that when I upgraded to FF31 they both had difference older versions of FireFox. I also read in the help forum that maybe I need to go back to FireFox 28 to accomplish what I am trying to accomplish.

  I noticed that when I'm going under: config that the version of FF that does not work unless options compared to the version that works. An example would be that the working version has 'browser.tabs.onTop' where, on the other computer laptop is missing.

  > > > open new windows in a new tab instead: this option controls whether links from other applications or from web pages which request to open them in a new window opens in a new window or a new tab in the most recent window.
  Note: If you have chosen to open pages in new tabs, Firefox will ignore this option and opens a new window from a link if the page author specified that the new window must have a specific size, because some pages cannot be displayed correctly to a specific size. < < <

  Thanks in advance for any help,

• Window display OpenExr playback Options for all files when generating thumbnails

  I use Bridge CC 6.2.0.179 x 64. I work a lot with the OpenExr files. All of a sudden bridge appears this little window of playback options (regarding the Alpha channel) for all OpenExr files when generating thumbnails, which pretty much makes bridge unusable when you enter a folder with many pictures. Is there a way to disable this option? I've never known this behavior before, so it seems to me that it was introduced with a recent update. Any help on this is much appreciated. Google did not until now, anything useful.

  Hello

  We published a new version of Adobe Bridge (CC 2015) on July 19, 2016. This update is available via the Adobe Creative Cloud application.

  We addressed the issue of "Open EXR reading Options Window" in this version. Please try the new version and check the number you have met.

  If you are not able to locate the bridge (CC 2015) on the creative cloud application, you will need to update application creative cloud and restart the machine.

  Thank you

• I bought Photoshop elements 12, it is installed on my Apple Mac, which I have now decided to sell.  Now I have a new windows pc and want to transfer photoshop on how I do this, I have the serial number

  Can anyone help, I bought Photoshop elements 12 and installed on my Apple Mac, I bought a new windows pc now and would like to transfer Photoshop on.  I have the serial number and tried to find out how to install it on my new computer, but do not seem to get anywhere.

  I understand (I do work for Adobe), it's that if you bought the BOXED version at a store there both install media and your serial number to work for Mac and PC

  If you purchased via download, you get a version only and must buy the other version you change Mac <-->PC

  Since version 12 is no longer sold, you can buy version 14

• How the tags are stored and then backed up?  Don't want to do all this work if a system failure and the need to start over with saved photos will be all the work of marking saved.  Or IIR/when Lightroom is so more suitable or an option as the next photo p

  Backblaze in particular, but it would be for any backup or future software I guess.

  Tags are stored in the file in your catalog. If you want to have them available after a disk crash, you should make regular, automated backups of your catalog on a different physical disk files. You can enable this in Lightroom via settings-> General-> Backup catalog. Note: you should always take backups of your photos, this feature in Lightroom doesn't have backups of your photos.

  If at some point you consider moving away from Lightroom, you can also write tags to the photos themselves (or in the case of RAW for the XMP sidecar files). This can be done by selecting all the photos and metadata-> saves the metadata of files (Note: this will take a lot of time if you have selected a large number of photos). You can also turn on the option to automatically catalog settings-->--> write metadata changes automatically to XMP. Any tags written via this method is readable by any other photo app that I know.
