Library disappears Win 7 folders

My win7 libraries files have disappeared and all I have left is file library-ms. How do I restore files? And where are they?

I am running Win 7 Home Premium Sp1 on a Toshiba Netbook NB305-N410BL model with 1 GB of mem. I think that the folders in the library disappeared after a Windows Update. I was busy with other projects and doesn't have a lot of attention to the libraries that I wasn't using them, and they have not been opened.

When the slowdown of work and other things, I found that libraries were messed up. I tried several suggestions on the web, but they were concerned about the files, not the files.

First of all, I use Win XP Pro Sp3 and have since XP came out. The Netbook is my experience of Win 7. I love it and get used to it. But I think his frustration the way MS cache things to users, to protect them. I have been using a PC since before the advent of the IBM/MS operating system and personal computer. It took me awhile to come to Windows. I don't have fear of digging in the bowels of the BONE, although it has gotten me in trouble and hard work at times.

I use the computer mostly for digital photography and business applications.

For any help or suggestion would be appreciated.

To help you to propose measures to solve the problem, I would appreciate if you could answer the following questions:

1. click on Start, click run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.

2. Select all the files in the folderand then click delete on the file menu.

Note You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

  • reorganize the library in Win Explorer but the library remains unchanged in Media Player

    I am using Windows 7 and when I reorganize the library in Win Explorer, the Windows Media Player library remains unchanged. It's a problem because I download CD books from the library (it is legal), but because the chapters mix, to listen to them on my MP3 player are problematic. Sometimes the player creates different authors or titles according to the CD. I can rearrange them but only with Win Explorer. Why doesn't the Media Player library reflect what the Explorer?

I down loaded and ran that and it worked. Thus, in a round point average, thank you for getting my problem is resolved.

  • Shortcut icons disappear - Win 7 64 Pro

    Recently, I installed Win 7 64 bit Pro on my PC with a new HARD drive that is partitioned C: for the system and programs and E: for data. HDD back, put in place in a similar way, has Win 7 64 bit Ultimate installed and did not have the problem described below.

    On my desk, I have many shortcuts for programs that are installed on the C: Partition, in addition, five shortcuts that refer to the library of records related to E: Partition of data. I have confirmed that these five icons are addressing their E: locations. They are not broken links. They may well sit on the desktop, is not used for several days, but it only shortcuts to the icons of programs.

    From time to time, these five specific icons disappear without apparent reason. Here today, gone tomorrow, kind of thing. No other icons are affected. I can't tie this action to a particular event, so I can't determine the cause.

    Can someone please provide a fix for this annoying problem.

  • files in the Documents library disappear

    When I select the document library, and I try to use "arrange by" to sort the files by something else that documents all files disappear and the library says it has 0 files. If I reopen the tab "arrange by" and select 'folders' everything reappears. If I go directly to the root directory and select "My Documents" then everything works fine. What is the point of a library, if I create a folder on the desktop to have sortable directories?

    Hi aguila7,

    To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start and then click computer.

    2 right-click Documents in the navigation pane, and then select delete.

    3. click on Yes if asked for confirmation.

    Note: Remove a library does not delete the contents of the included folders. However, you need to add or include your folders manually, if required.

    Then, in the Windows Explorer navigation pane, click libraries and click restore default libraries.

    This re-creates the library that was removed earlier. This option only restores the default libraries.

  • Widgets in the library disappeared

    Hey, all.  I bought two widgets Gain of Muse, and when I installed them, all the widgets pre-loaded in my library (those who are there when you install Muse, as the widget menu and other) everything has disappeared.  Now the two widgets in the library are the two that I bought. Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone know how to get back all those pre-loaded widgets? I've attached a screenshot of my library window so that you can see.  Thanks in advance!

  • How can I get back 5.3 library disappeared after I loaded from android to the first item 12?

    I recently upgraded to first items 12 and loaded my photos and videos of my android (4 G Samsung Galaxy) in the new program. Then when I went to my Lightroom 5.3 I found my files of entire library except a picture with a statement of missing file disappeared, disappeared. All gone but only one image. The original files are still on my hard drive, but can we recover them with my Lightroom changes that have not been saved? How can I do this? or are they all go?

    Are you sure that you open the correct catalog? Search the .lrcat files and if you find the good double click it.

    You have backup catalogs (do you not)? Open your most recent backup catalog and see what you have.

    I don't know about the first 12 items, but I don't see how that would be linked to lose your LR catalog.

    Massive rearmament of the hidden attributes can be done by right clicking the (my photos) entry in the folder tree section and select Properties, general tab, select the hidden check box and click on apply, this will change all files to hidden, click Yes, and then uncheck the hidden box and if applied, it will remove the attribute hidden all your files, click Yes and then save.

    Apologize for the delay. I though I had answered it.

    Based on the provided bundle, its clear that you use two virtual machines with its own virtual disks.

    You can add the virtual disk from one of the virtual machines as a secondary drive. When you start in windows, you will eventually have two drives (drives C and D). The D drive is nothing else than all of the virtual disk of the second virtual machine.

    For more information about adding virtual disks as secondary drive, please see following article
