• Error message: cannot create the folder C:\Documents and Settings\Marlon\Local Application BVRP Software\NetWaiting\MoHlog.txt Settings\

  I recently had a problem with the virus 'Restore Windows'. I was able to get rid of it with Malwarebytes antivirus scanner, but when I turn on my computer I get this error message.
  Cannot create the folder C:\Documents and Settings\ of Settings\Marlon\Local Application BVRP Software\NetWaiting\MoHlog.txt
  
  
  I'm no expert, but I feel that my C drive disappeared, or at least has been hidden. My documents, pictures and music files are all empty. My programs (start > all programs) have been removed and deleted the shortcuts on the desktop. When I go to my computer, my personal and shared document files are not accessible. Under the description it says that they are hidden. My local disk (c) is also empty, but there is still very little space which suggests that programs and files have not been deleted.
  Is it possible to recover my files?
  Thank you

  Hello

  MoHlog.txt file is related to the software of modem on the computer, you can uninstall and reinsta it check if it works.

  Also scan your computer for any infection by virus still present on the computer using any scanner online.

  You can also try the system restore to the point before that the computer has been infected by the virus and check if it helps.

  Good luck!

  Hello Tiffy.T,

  Thanks for the return of the response.  If this happened recently, I suggest to perform a restore of the system to a point in time before you rename the folder.  Please let us know on this status.

• Can't see hidden files to delete in the folder C:\Documents and Settings\William\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

  C:\Documents and Settings\William\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files folder there are more than 135,000 files; nearly 2,000 cases and close to 3 GB of data. These files do not display and I can't remove them by deleting temporary Internet files. When I try to see the files to help to locate hidden files, only three very small files appear. How can I delete these files? Can I delete the folder and create a new one?

  William

  You can also enter your options Internet Explorer (via Control Panel), on the general tab, in the browsing history, there should be a settings button, once there, you should be able to select Show files in the temporary Internet files section.  Who will open the file for you and you can do CTRL + A (select all), and then delete.

  Some of the files in the folder may be used, and if they are in use, you will not be able to remove them.  You will need to know what is their use, cannot be used, then delete them.

• How to redirect the user account to the correct folder in Documents and Settings?

  Under XP.  One of the user accounts seems to have been directed to the wrong user folder (the one that has been somehow created) in Documents and Settings.  Start menu, My Documents, etc are now empty, but they used to be OK.  The (desired) exact content is always in a folder user, but it is apparently not accessed.  I looked and looked and can't find how to reset the pointer (for example, identify the correct folder for that user).  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

• Missing administrator in documents and settings from win xp w/sp3. How can I place?

  Missing in a computer. appears in 2nd computer. do I need?

  Hi SteveJWv,

  Thanks for posting. Documents and records of the administrator configuration will be unavailable if you have not connected to the computer as an administrator. To solve this disable the fast user switching and to log on to the PC with the administrator username and password, you have provided. This will create the profile on the computer with the files you are looking for.

  I hope this helps!

• Signs missing in the history and snapshot, not found in the drop down window

  My history and snapshot of the missing panels (LR5) suddenly, and only appears in the window > panels menu.

  This * may * have occurred when I was trying to show my collection of target (control B).  I must have accidentally hit the key or some other, because all of a sudden I was taken to the last folder I was in.

  I'm afraid to close LR and reopen it, in the case which exacerbates the problem.  I really want these back panels!

  You go back and forth between library and develop?

  Because there is no other situation where you should be able to "recover files, but snapshots and history have disappeared", files will never be with the snapshots and history

• Where can I find the Documents and Settings folder or the folder on Vista?

  I need to find a Real Player file file so I can delete it, but am unable to find the floder Documents and Settings.  I need to delete a file called treestate.dat but am unable to find... Help, please!

  In Windows Vista user profiles

  In Windows XP, 2000, 2003, user profiles are stored in c:\Documents and Settings. In Windows Vista, the profiles are now stored in c:\Users. You will see a folder c:\Documents and Settings in Windows Explorer in Vista, but you will also notice the shortcut icon on the folder, and you will not be able to access this folder. c:\Documents and Settings is now a junction Point. You can use the random dir command to see where c:\Documents and Settings point to or use the table below.

  The following table lists the old profile path and the new path under Windows Vista.

  Old path	New path
  \Documents and Settings	\Users
  \Documents and Settings\Default User or %LogonServer%\NETLOGON\Default user	\USERS\DEFAULT or %LogonServer%\NETLOGON\Default
  \Documents and Settings\\My Documents	\Users\\Documents
  \Documents and Settings\\My Documents\My photos	\Users\\Pictures
  \Documents and Settings\\My Documents\My Music	\Users\\Music
  \Documents and Settings\\Favorites	\Users\\Favorites
  N/A	\Users\\Contacts
  N/A	\Users\personal
  N/A	\Users\\SavedGames
  \Documents and Settings\Change Data	\Users\\AppData\Roaming
  \Documents and Settings\Settings\Application Data	\Users\\AppData\Local
  \Documents and Settings\\Start Menu	\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\ start Menu
  \Documents and Settings\All Users	\Users\Public
  \Documents and Settings\All Users Menu	\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start menu
  \Documents and Settings\All Users\Bureau	\Users\Public\Desktop

  Records to take note of here are the folders in the path of all users. Many legacy applications that use outdated methods to solve the system folders, will solve the railways under C:\ProgramData when looking for common places. For example, the joint office can be resolved as C:\ProgramData\Desktop, however; This is actually a point of junction for C:\ProgramData\Users\Public\Desktop. A random entry in the C:\ProgramData folder dir reveals the following Junction Points:

  Path	Points to
  Data \ProgramData\Application	\ProgramData
  \ProgramData\Desktop	\Users\Public\Desktop
  \ProgramData\Documents	\Users\Public\Documents
  \ProgramData\Favorites	\Users\Public\Favorites
  Menu \ProgramData\Start	\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start menu
  \ProgramData\Templates	\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Templates

• Why is the 'Documents and Settings' folder hidden and inaccessible?

  I used PC backup for backing up my XP files.  When I restore the files on my Windows 7 computer, I tried to bring it back to the "C:\Users\name\Desktop\test".  There is now a "Documents and Settings" folder hidden and inaccessible in my "C:\Users\name\Desktop\test".  How can I view/delete this folder?

  Short answer:  Because there isn't actually.  Please do not try to access it, you will help break your operating system if you try, and you will lose the ability to run several programs or worse.
  
  
  Why?  The tale:
  The Documents and Settings folder does not really exist in Windows 7.  This is only to fool the bad programs by redirecting to the right place (the Users folder).  Apparently he also deceived you.  It is not a real issue, do not try to access it.
  
  
  Or if you prefer, here's the long Version:
  First of all, the Documents and Settings folder came into existence in Windows 2000.  In order to shorten the path name (there is a limit to how many long letters we) as well as to create other languages of the operating system for use throughout the world, this folder has been renamed a few users in 2006 with the release of Windows Server and Windows Vista.
  Programs built the right way, that is not the real name or spelling (or language) of the book by fine user path, because they use the variable %UserProfile%.  However, many programs have been built the wrong way.  They are absolutely dependent on the existence of a folder called "Documents and Settings", spelled in English.  This program will crash if they do not find the file they want.  So to keep these plant program, Microsoft has created a record of false (called a junction Point) that redirects these programs on the folder of the user.  So if a program think he saved a file in c:\documents and settings\joe\desktop- the file will actually be saved to c:\users\joe\desktop.  The program never knows that he cheated.
  What you need to do:  Go to your Folder Options, tell him to Hide protected operating system files, and then use your computer normally.

• Why have I not 2 folders of paper? We are in c:\documents and settings and the other in c:\users

  I have 2 files in Windows 7 and they appear almost the same. One is c:\documents and settings\name\Mydocuments and the other is c:\users\name\MyDocuments. Can I move all the files the c:\users folder and then delete the folder c:\documents and settings?

  They are the same file.

  C:\Documents and Settings\ is an alias used to ensure the compatibility of older programs.

  This name is hidden if you are using the default options in the Folder Options > view. Unchecking "Hide protected operating system files" causes the file name to become visible.

• Why don't I have access to the files in the documents and settings, etc.. How can I change this?

  Original title: Documents & Settings

  Hello

  Since Windows XP, in the last several versions of Windows, there are many changes for the names and locations of some Windows system folders .

  To ensure compatibility with older programs, these older cases have been replaced by The junction Points. A junction Point is designed to redirect programs more alumni who are hard coded to look for the former name of folder for the new file name and the location in Windows.

  An example is the C:\Documents and Settings folder. The new name and the location of this folder is C:\Users. In Windows 8, you will see a folder C:\Documents and Settings , but it should be noted that this record contains a shortcut arrow on the folder icon. He identifies it as a junction.

  Junction points all than its guarantee of value everyone = access denied.

  Note: Do not attempt to modify the security settings on a junction. This can cause programs to stop work and possibly corrupt the file system.

  Let us know if you have any other questions.

• Windows.Old does not list the "Documents and Settings".

  I installed Windows Vista Ultimate on my main hard drive of workstations.  I looked online and saw a lot of messages on many sites saying that all my old documents of the previous version of Windows (XP that wouldn't start) should be available in the Windows.old folder, in a subfolder called Documents and Settings.  The only folders that are weProgram Files and Windows.  I tried to take possession of the entire record and made sure that Windows displays the hidden files and folders.  My username has the administrator capabilities.  I'mREALLY hoping that the files are not entirely lost.  All that I'm missing?

  Hello
  
  Documents and settings folder must exist inside the windows.old. Check if the file is hidden and also check the Recycle Bin folder is deleted by mistake.
  Or you can also use windows search to search for any document in this folder to track the location of the folder.
   
  I hope this helps.

• Deliver the profile of the user - My Documents folder moved to C:\Documents and Settings\TEMP. I can't view or access this folder to copy My Documents back. Help?

  XP Home SP3 on my laptop (no not in network - independent).

  After an Adobe Reader 10 X installed, there is a reboot, and when I logged in the profile that appeared was not mine - it was as if it was a new installation. I looked for my personal documents under My Documents and did not find them. So, I looked for them on the C: drive, found (no not noted where), and copied My Documents to what seemed like the name /my Documents /. After that, I could access my documents by clicking Start-My Documents online. I did another reboot. Now, after login, my old profile is displayed, and the My Documents folder is empty except for the value by default my pictures, my music, my videos, and favorite - and these are all basically empty.

  I then ran a program Search and Recover to find my documents - they were found under C:\Documents and Settings\TEMP\. Unfortunately, I can't seem to see that to explore (I have it configured to display the hidden files and folders). Is it possible to go to this folder and the moving my Documents back to my profile?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You can view these methods:

  Method 1:

  Check to see if the problem exists in Safe Mode, if the computer works as expected in mode without failure, then we can solve the problem in the clean boot state.
  a. refer to the article below for the procedure safe mode in Windows XP
  A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222

  b. it is a possibility that there is a startup program that is launched with a command line and it appears.
  You need to perform a clean boot to find the program that is causing and then disable or remove.
  How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353/en-us
  Note: When you are finished troubleshooting, follow the steps as explained in the article to reset the computer to start as usual.

  Method 2:

  System Restore takes a "snapshot" of critical system files and some program files and the registry settings and stores this information as restore points. If your computer is not working properly, you can use these points to return Windows XP to a previous state when your computer was working properly restore. It can also change scripts, batch files, and other types of executable files on your computer.

• Is it possible to move documents and settings to a new hhd folder as you can do with the folder my documents?

  I have a 12g and a 180g hhd. my 12g holds my bones and im running out of room on that. was wondering if I could move the documents and record setting as well as all the files into it without having to copy my operating system on a partition on my disk with greater capacity.

  There is a way, but it is risky and unsupported by Microsoft.  If you try it, make sure you have a good backup of your system and know how to restore a system that won't start plu with it.
