• Remove the lock on all files and folders...?

  There has been a lot of questions on how to remove locks on folders and files on Windows 7. Those I've read on this site worked and the lock can be removed easily.

  ... However, you cannot do a folder/file at once. I have a lot of items on my desk, and more than half of them have these locks on them. How I removed the locks on all files and folders on my user account. There are only 2 accounts on the computer. Mine and another person. Mine is set to the administrator account, the other is just a standard user. I started by ignoring the locks for months, then I tried to get rid of them by myself, and frankly, I have no idea what I'm doing. Please, I beg you. If you know of a way, share it!

  If the locks would not constitute an obstacle to operations, why bother?

  And BTW, it; s no need AT ALL to run as an administrator on a daily basis in Windows 7. Forget everything THAT you have learned about XP - Win 7 is much more advanced.

  You realize that the built-in Administyrator account is disabled by default, and if it is possible for him, that may be beyond what you're comfortable with?

  Create another Admin account, call the Admin or Tech or similar and give it a password. Let this accouynt for the elevation of access and privilege of emergency and activate your account for daily use in a Standard user account. Your computer will be safer that way.

• How can I get full control of all of my files and folders

  I really hate this version of Windows. but in any case, I would like to take full control of 'All files and folders on my computer' for access at any time without having to ask permission whenever I want to access. I installed a few programs I want to delete but I can't

  because he says I don't have permission. and when I try to take control of it that I can't, it said access denied or error you can't take control of this file.
  I have 2 computers with windows 7 Home premium 64-bit, and they are both worthless because I can't access any of my own OS files or
  Save a photo then I comes to him, I tried this authorization Busters works from time to time, but its a tile so that I have to do this every time, but it usually says I don't have permission to Board approval. It's the only hostile most Microsoft OS user has ever done
  I was told there was a command, you can enter in the command line that will remove all these lock.s of permission but it is said to do a right-click on the command prompt and then select Administrator, but it's not here, on my command prompt. If someone could tell me how to open the prompt as an administrator who would also be very useful.
  Thank you for helping me with this.

  Hi Mark,

  Thank you for keeping us posted.

  I wish that you copy and paste the commands in administrator mode-

  TAKEOWN /F the type in the path of the folder that you want to take access>

   

  ICACLS type in the path of the folder that you want to take access> grant administrators: F /

• Cannot change show Hidden files and folders option, continues to come back to hidden

  Original title: activate the hidden files and folders. -Registry problem! Windows 7

  I had a meeting with a virus, which had a game with my registry so that I cannot view hidden files and folders. Whenever I click on "View files and folders hodden" and then click on folder options, it is by default to "do not show hidden folders and files". I've been browsing around, find people who give advice and I have seen some changes, but it STILL keep diverting back to do not show.

  I am running Windows 7 Profesional x 64

  There are a few default values and checked in 2 subfolders in the shadow folder.

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden

  Any help from people who know a little more about the registry that I do, would be greatly apprechiated.

  Thank you.

  Nick.

• files and folders invisible after the attack of virus on the external HARD disk

  I have an external Seagate 500 GB HDD.
  Yesterday I plugged on my friend's laptop computer, but her laptop has been attacked. I didn't know it. so I just copied the files on my HARD drive.
  After connecting the HARD drive to my laptop, I've scanned several times, but only one file or folder is not visible in it. And I checked the properties, its display used and remaining memory on the HARD drive.
  Not what happened? I want historical data... How can I make them visible?
  Help, please...

  Hi Muralidharpattar,

  This problem normally occurs when permission for files/folders have been modified and may be hidden.

  Method 1: We will connect the hard drive and try to check if files and folders are hidden or not.

  Show hidden files

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/show-hidden-files#show-hidden-files=Windows-7

  Method 2:

  If the problem persists, I suggest you analyze the external hard drive to see if it is operated by the virus and malwares. If you have any antivirus program that is not built, you can run scanning using it. If this isn't the case, you can use the provided scanner.

  Step 1:

  Start your computer in safe mode and check the number.

  To start your computer in safe mode

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  Step 2:

  Run a scan antivirus on your computer.

  Note: If infections are detected during the scan, there is a risk of data loss because infected files will be deleted.

• Deleted files and folders in Dreamweaver keep reappearing

  Help! After that I deleted files and folders in my Dreamweaver sites, they come back! This has happened for the last few weeks and I don't know why!

  I've deleted coming from within Dreamweaver, deleted from the Windows Explorer of Microsoft (on a PC - Vista) even the trash and when I click on a site in Dreamweaver, a small box appears real quick and they all show upward.

  Boxes say: link info from cache... and the other cargo box pops up and says: looking for new or changed files. You can safely stop this, if you have not modified files outside Dreamweaver... 4800

  Could it be and how can I disable this?

  I have Dreamweaver CS4 and CS5.5 and happens in both. Thank you!!!

  1. Open the Site Manager to the top, and then select your Web site.
  2. Click the Advanced tab and local information to the title of the category.
  3. Uncheck the box "Enable Cache". Yes leave it off, it is more of a resource than an asset hog.
  4. Go to the bottom of the list of the Remote Info category and uncheck the "Maintain synchronization information" if it is enabled.
  5. Go to the bottom of the list of categories in Version control. Are you using and control solution version which could be the last recorded together rebuild? Solved? Isn't it? Continue.
  6. Under category, select Design Notes. Uncheck the box keep the Design Notes and then click on the button "Clean up...". ». Leave unchecked.

• Not able to vacuum large files and folders from Recycle Bin

  Recently, I took a few big files and folders because there is not enough available disk space. But these files are not getting deleted from the Recycle Bin.

  How have you tried to remove them?

• Re: Qosmio G - hidden files and folders is not displayed

  Hi people, I have a few hidden files and folders, which I was able to access the front and I used to click on the "organize tab" display, advanced settings, display the files and folders to hide or show hidden files.

  Unfortunately, there seems to be a problem, I just can't access my hidden files and folders, even when I go through this method.
  someone help me please as soon as possible...

  Thank you

  Hi aaz911,

  First of all, it would be nice of you if you post information on your laptop model and the operating system. This must be done always to get a detailed response.

  In any case, I never heard of this problem, but make sure that all files will be displayed:
  Start Windows Explorer > tools > Folder Options > view and enable the following options:
  -Files and folders hidden: display the hidden files and folders
  -Hide protected operating system files (this should be disabled > unbranded).

  In addition you will find these missing files by using Windows search?

  If this isn't the case, I suppose the files are deleted from someone or due to a virus. :(

• Qosmio X 505-Q892 Desktop files and folders endangered

  As indicated by the name of the thread I encounter a weird problem I've never seen before, I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem before where the files and folders on the desktop and files and folders within other folders just goes completely invisible are however still usable.

  Last night I had some strange lag on my computer so I restarted, everything loaded up just fine. I went to load Firefox and an excel spreadsheet to update on my spreadsheet work, and nothing went wrong. Save the file and went to open one that follows and everything in the folder disappeared. It's like everything just went invisible, I tried to move all my old files to the new folder on my computer from an external drive, and he said that all the files are still there. So I rebooted the computer again, and my entire office was empty except for my trash, so I did a system restore to see if it would be useful and done it in a way, but it only is half of the files and visible programs still. Half of my files are still invisible, the information is there and other programs can access the information, I just can't access it myself via records (if it makes no sense to me).

  Now, I know the difficulty more easy for this would be completely clean up the computer and start again, but I have no boot disks and that you don't have any idea how to get half of the drivers and all back, I'm decent with computers, but this part goes beyond the knowledge that I have. Any person in charge of helping a confused man? @. @ I just want to get my files usable again as they are normally...

  It looks like Windows 7 common bug where it is not refresh the list of files. If you press F5, you should see the files appear.

• Folder options - view the hidden files and folders

  Hello

  On this same laptop, there seems to be a problem with * Folder Options - Show hidden files and Folders.*

  Every time I have to 'see' this option to display - then I go back to check/confirm the changes - but the box is new 'unchecked '. Despite clicking on apply then Ok to save the changes. The changes are never saved...

  I have used other laptops of this same option and it worked fine.

  Please indicate if I need to apply or change other settings for this to work?

  Kind regards.

  A reasonable explanation from Microsoft for this?
  To be honest I have never heard talk about something like that. ?:|

  Since when you noticed this behavior?
  Have you tried to roll back the BONES to the bygone era? Maybe some update is responsible for this.

  I really hope that someone here will explain why this happen.

• problem with the Finder - files and folders displaying incorrectly

  After acquiring a new iMac, I noticed a problem with the Finder - files and folders are displayed wrong (see table).

  This is what happens always after the files have been transferred from one folder to another. I was reminded of my days of using Mac OS in the 1980s when automatic setting of files was not so "automatic." I use Mac OS for decades and I don't remember the last time I had to think about GUI problems like that.

  Other problems in the graphical display of files and folders were introduced, such as when you have hundreds of files in a single folder, you end up deleting about 30 to 40 of them say in a particular section, and you end up with gaps of the ChartSpace where files used to be, that is the remaining files automatically rearrange themselves (fill in these gaps) - never. A week later, you open the folder, and the gap of GUI is still there.

  I decided to do a clean install of the operating system but nothing works.

  Is there some setting in Prefs I'm missing?

  

  Hi there highland99,

  Looks like your folder icons are not accommodating themselves automatically you plan to do. To me, this indicates that you have organize by the None value in the view menu. You can change the way files and folders are prepared automatically by clicking on view > reorganize by and selecting how you would like that fixed.

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.
