Links to the Documents folder suddenly broken?

So I had learned about my computer to play a favorite game and was astounded to see that all of my saved games disappeared suddenly! After exploring a bit I found something even more weird - the link in the start menu in the Documents folder suddenly didn't work.

After having studied more, I realized the two were linked - the files of game themselves had not been deleted - they were stored in a folder in the My Documents folder, the computer can see somehow is more (unless I went directly to her).

How can I get my computer to correctly bind to My Documents folder again, please?

See if this has something to do with it...

Right click on the Start button > properties > start menu tab > customize > Scroll to Documents...
A blue dot should be on the screen as a link. If this is not the case, do.

  • Remove the link in the document

    This question may seem childish,

    is it possible to remove the links in the document and have all the images that have been placed in the document as static? (no problem if this increases the size of my indd file)

    This problem happen to me because I was using network resource to place the images in the document, once there does not exist a network connection / cannot access network resource, shows its impossible to get images high resolution from the link and it still image of low resolution.

    things that I've tried,

    I tried all the options in the import / placing the image, but of no use.

    tried to remove the link manually, not managed

    In the links Panel, there is an option to include the link.

    Another option is to have the package and the connected server your document to a folder on your local computer, which keeps the links without blowing up the size of the file outta proportion.

    Hi Jack,
     
    I would like to inform you that the exact location of the Documents folder in the C: drive is

    My Documents contains the same information from libraries as well.

  • Uninstalled all of the Documents folder - desperately need help

    Let me give you some information on this problem.

    I started trying to install a PC game on my computer, and it was recommended that I have a place outside of C:/Program Files, because Vista has been having administrative access errors and prevent the game to patch automatically. So, I chose to install it in the Documents, because I have a few other games installed in the Documents for various reasons. Well, by typing the path of the file, I typed the following text:

    Games\Documents of C:\Users\the contact

    I forgot to also add the folder with the name of the game to the end to give all the files that would be settled in their own folder. Therefore, I checked my Documents folder when I started to try to patch the game, and the game files were sitting just individually in the Documents and not their own folder. Rather than collect all the files and make a folder for them manually, I thought, forget it, I'll just uninstall and reinstall once more then this is a quick installation, this time by adding a folder for the files in the Documents folder. (that is, C:\Users\the boyfriend games\Documents\Europa Universalis III).

    So I started to uninstall it, everything worked, not reinstalled, no problem, although I noticed when I tried to install it in the Documents there was no other... strange subfolders. It installed very well and as I started patching the game even once, I went to the Documents, and Documents My horrifying discovery, was empty except for the folder of the game I did.

    I realized it happened instantly. When I choose "Uninstall" the game again, he chose to uninstall all the contents of the folder they have been stored in... sense to uninstall all files in 'Documents,' some other games, irreplaceable images and documents from the school.

    If you have stuck with me this far, I thank you. My question can be summed up by asking, what can I do to get all the files in the Documents that uninstalled? My basket is empty, but I didn't since this discovery other type of this message. I have not the computer shuts down automatically, installed another thing I understand is crucial in data recovery. Reliable, free software is one that can recover the data for me? I'll have to dig through the Interior edges of my computer files? Please answer as soon as possible and to help me, I lost a lot of irreplaceable data and not just "delete" and "empty trash".

    Thanks a lot in advance and have a nice day.

    You've done well not to do anything else on the computer since the discovery of the problem.  Which will maximize the chances of recovering your files.

    Download and run a program like Recuva file recovery.

    1. Press +R to display the race box, %nom user % and click OK (your user folder will appear).
    2. Right-click the Documents folder in the list and select Properties.
    3. On the location tab, make sure that it says this:

      Replace Hilary with your user account folder name. If you do not know your name of user account folder, go to C:\Users and note what is the name of the folder.

    I use a Dell PC and running Vista.   Recently (in the last two weeks) whenever I start the computer, log on to my office, the first thing that loads immediately is the My Documents folder.   I checked the items in my Start Up programs, but I don't know what I'm looking for.

    Thanks for any help.

    Hi JeffWinbush,

    Method 1:

    (a) go to control panel > appearance and personalization > Folder Options

    (b) select the view tab, uncheck the restore windows files when connecting

    Method 2: Run the fixit available in the links below and check if that makes a difference-Worth to try

    Diagnose and repair Windows files and folders problems automatically
    Difficulty of broken desktop shortcuts and common system maintenance tasks

    Note: FixIt would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular area.

    If the problem persists, this could be an activity of the virus

    Method 3: Run Microsoft Security scanner (MSS) to any threat and try to correct

    Note: Infected files can be deleted from your computer; There is a chance of data loss.
