• How can I find several duplicate files and remove the using Windows Explorer

  Somehow I see several duplicate on my computer files.  I can tell when they arrived as all the duplicate files ' _10-Mar-15_1. ' " However, I don't know how they arrived.  I think that Google Drive was the culprit, but I can't be sure.

  How we (me) use Windows Explorer to find all files with "_10-Mar-15_1." and delete them all?

  I am using Windows 7 64 bit

  Thank you!!!

  Windows Explorer can do no such thing. To remove recursively a certain file is easy - see below. To identify duplicates and remove some of them is much more difficult, because:

  • Are two files duplicates because
    -They have the same name?
    -They are the same size?
    -They have the same file date?
    -They have the same content?
    -Everything above?
  • When they are, which ones should be deleted?
    -The oldest?
    -The most recent?
    -The batch?

  Here's how to remove a certain file to recursively. Assume that they are in the folder "C:\Users\BHunter\Documents".

  1. Click the start planet.
  2. Type cmd. exe and press ENTER.
  3. Enter the following command and press ENTER:
     dir/s/b/p 'C:\Users\BHunter\Documents\_10-Mar-15_1 '.
     This will show you all the files whose name above.
  4. del /s /q "C:\Users\BHunter\Documents\_10-Mar-15_1."
     This will permanently delete all files with the name above. You cannot restore them.

• Is it possible to find the two sentences into one pdf file? For example, I know the words 'Here' and 'the answer' occur more than once in my document, but only once on the same page. I'm looking for this page.

  Is it possible to find the two sentences into one pdf file? For example, I know the words 'Here' and 'the answer' occur more than once in my document, but only once on the same page. I'm looking for this page.

  I tried to do this by using the search but it will find only them, if they occur as a long chain, that is to say "Here's the answer" rather than how they occur in the document it is to say "Here 's" a bunch of information that leads you to 'the answer'. The search feature so standard did not help.

  Then I tried to do this by using the tool to delete (obviously not the application of writing!) because it allows me to search for multiple words or phrases, however it is not highlight what page both are found. I tried to turn on the preference to enable deletions of comments and even if it meant that I could then go through all the comments, it's still not faster than my document is more than 1,000 pages, which meant there were too many total comments for me to be able to easily identify which page had both.

  Any ideas?

  There is no built-in way to search for two strings and limited to show only the results that appear on the same page.

  It can be done by using a custom script, however.

• Is it possible to find the location in the bookmarks of a bookmark?

  From time to time, it happens that I strongly suspect that I saved a bookmark, but I do not remember exactly where, and I maybe changed a category or subcategory description bookmark in the meantime.

  I usually remember something on the bookmark that allows me to find breast show all bookmarks, but it does not give me the option to rename or re-file the bookmark, category or subcategory.

  View all bookmarks, looks that the field called 'Location' (of a bookmark) should be called "URL" and that there should be another field called 'Location' which tells you where the bookmark is breast show all bookmarks.

  Is it already possible to find the current location of the current bookmark in view all bookmarks?

  If this isn't the case, I ask it is possible.

  The text that appears in "Troubleshooting information" seems not very relevant to my question.

  Without the use of an extension cord, you can click on that bookmark to open the link in a new tab (you can also do offline), and then click the star highlighted at the right end of the address bar to open the dialog box "edit this bookmark".

  Hi KAD Rebar,.

  1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
  2. When was the last time it was working fine?
  3. Are you having similar problem with all the files you are trying to move or remove it from the computer?
  4. You have security software installed on the computer?

  Method 1

  See the link below and run the Fixit tool available, check if it helps.

  Diagnose and repair Windows files and folders problems automatically

  http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_file_and_folder_diag/

   

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails, then I suggest that you start the computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists.

  A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222

  If the problem does not persist in safe mode, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

  How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State

  Reset the computer to start as usual

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

  (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

  (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

• Restore failed image because of the message error "system cannot find the specified file (0 x 80070002). Is my file of the backup OK folder structure?

  I had to reinstall clean Windows 7 64-bit because of the failure of the RAID 1. I have a picture of my original installation system, but I can't restore it; everything I try, I get the message "system cannot find the specified file (0 x 80070002).  I work through a number of possible solutions, without success so far.

  According to the kb/951002 (that is for Vista but I can't find an alternative for Win 7) I made sure that the SYSTEM account has read permission for the backup folders and subfolders.  However, the file structure of the specified in the above article backup folder is different from my image file structure.  Specifically, article specified a structure of 'N.zip' file for the backup files but mine are a mixture of XML documents and VHD - i.e. no "zip" files Also, my GlobalCatalog file does not what kind of file, for example, it wouldn't ".wbcat" required file type specified in the article.

  The differences above could explain the inability to restore the image and if so, any ideas on what to do about it?

• "The system cannot find the specified file" error when you try to install a hotfix/cab package using the DISM tool Package Manager

  I'm testing the integrity of the addon ".cab" packages and patches by installing using the Package Manager (pkgmgr.exe), or alternatively, the Deployment Image Servicing and Management Tool (DISM.exe) for Windows 7.  To do this, I am aware that I have to call a tool through the command line.

  In the Package Manager, I use the syntax

  Command prompt > pkgmgr.exe /ip /m:C:\Test\test.cab

  Otherwise, I might add the path in quotes:

  "Command prompt > pkgmgr.exe /ip /m:"C:\Test\test.cab.

  The error returned in pkgmgr is:

  Operation failed with 0 x 80070002.  The system cannot find the specified file.

  My first impression was that my syntax is incorrect, although I can't have room for error.  The path points to "test.cab" which is a renamed windows addon that contains the necessary file "svcpack" and the file "entries_XX.ini".  I used several different ".cab" file, that which some I know to be genuine, hopefully exclude the possibility of a corrupted or incompatible file.  I also tried this procedure on different computers and received the same error code, so I doubt that the tool pkgmgr istelf is corrupt.

  Finally, I tried an alternative Windows 7/8 DISM tool to try to achieve essentially the same task by using the following syntax in a command prompt:

  "Commnand prompt > DISM.exe / Online /PackagePath:"C:\Test\test.cab Add-Package ".

  This produces a similar error:

  An error occurred trying to open it - C:\Test\test.cab error: 0 x 80070002
  Error: 2
  The system cannot find the specified file.
  The DISM log file can be found at C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log

  I'm really not sure why I produce these errors.  Any idea is appreciated.

• Error: The system cannot find the specified file (0 x 80070002), when you perform the backup of Windows.

  Original title: missing for InputPersonalization file

  I used the Windows 7 backup utility for several years and recently it has begun to generate the following error:

  Backup has encountered a problem during backup of the C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\InputPersonalization file. Error: (the system cannot find the specified file. (0 x 80070002)

  I checked with Windows Explorer and confirmed that this file does not exist in this way. Instead, the file exists in the path under my local account.

  How can I stop this error? In addition to a clean backup, I like to keep the overall system as clean as possible.

• I have to remove the duplicate files, but having problems by selecting more than one file in the player at the time.

  I have to remove the duplicate files, but having problems by selecting more than one file in the player at the time. How can I select multiple files at the same time so I can just delete them. I used to be able to do this in previous versions of Media Player, but this function seems now blocked or unavailable. The problem is this: through previous use of media player, it plays all my multimedia files several times whenever a device support has been added. He would try to save the files on my main drive, but since there is not enough room this would save the files somewhere else. This happened several times, I suppose, because when I upgraded my computer and a media scan was conducted he found duplicates of all my media various times of at least 6-8. I've consolidated since my plates on 3-disc multi to, but have now records duplicated hundreds and thousands of duplicate media files. Previous versions of Media Player would allow me to select all files and then delete them both of the reader, but also from my hard drive. So now I'm stuck with more than 300 GB of duplicate media I have to search line by line through all my hard drives to find each duplicate both, unless I can get media player to do what it can. Any help in this area would be appreciated.

  Hello

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  2. is Windows media player files in double creation during playback of music files?

  To delete duplicate entries, click on another feature tab in the drive (for example the current playback), and then click library.
  
  If this does not remove duplicates from your library, you can use the Add to library dialog box to search computer to analyze a file on your computer the duplicate entries not valid-pointing. The player will remove invalid entries in your library that point to files that no longer exist in the folder.

  Complete the steps above for files that are stored in the hard disks.

  Method 1: Use the add to Library dialog box search for computers

  (a) start Windows Media Player.
  
  (b) press F3 on your keyboard to open Add to the library of the find computers dialog box.

  (c) click the Browse button to locate the folder on your computer so that your library contains invalid entries. Specify the location of the folder in the box look in.

  If you are not sure what duplicate in your library entry is not valid, you can add a path column to display in your library. Specify the folder on your computer that corresponds to the path not valid file displayed in your library.
  
  (d) click on the Search button.

  The player will search for digital media files and playlists in the folder that you specify and remove invalid entries in your library that point to files that no longer exist in the folder. If not valid in double entries point to other folders on your computer, repeat this procedure, specify a different folder every time.

  If only a small number of duplicate entries exist, you can delete those invalid manually by right-clicking on the invalid entry, and then clicking Delete .
  
  For large double-number of entries in your library (or if all your library is duplicated), it might be better to create a new library and delete the files.

  Method 2:

  After you remove the duplicate entries, run the troubleshooting of Windows Media Library settings to solve this problem.

  Open the troubleshooter in Windows Media Library

• Can not find the downloaded file

  I regularly download files, and they will 'always' in the same directory. Now, I downloaded fedora-live-workstation-i686-22-3.iso

  Since the switch to Photos for Mac, when I double click on a thumbnail to enlarge, a large percentage of my photos have a message that the original file is not found and gives me a chance to find the missing file.
