Maintaining the structure of file/folder xp in Windows 7.

How can we get the structure of file/folder XP instead of libraries in Windows 7? We are a couple of older people who are very comfortable with the structure of file/folder from xp and I'd love to keep it in win 7, we find very confusing.

Hello

The problem is that there are a number of system of folder names that have been changed in later versions of Windows after XP.

Examples:

C:\ Documents and Settings is now C:\Users

C:\Application Data is now C:\Users\your name\AppData\Roaming

Parameters of C:\Local is now C:\Users\your name\AppData\Local

C:\All users now is C:\ProgramData

And there is a lot of changes in name/location.

To make it even more confusing, each of these folders that have been changes of name/location includes a junction , which is the original XP folder name, at the original location of XP. These junctions are used to redirect software more old programs installed that are hard coded to look for the old XP to a folder name. These junctions are recognizable by a shortcut arrow on the folder.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

  • I do not understand the structure of files in lightroom

    I use ligtroom for a little while now, and I never really took the time to try to understand the structure of files in lightroom. Looking at it now, I'm totally confused.

    I'm on vacation and take tons of pictures and their import to my laptop (and an external hard drive).

    Since my trip is coming to an end, I'm wondering how to transfer all these catalogs to my office when I get home. Without messing up all the files that are already there.

    So I start looking at my Lightroom folders in my documents, and I like lightroom 6 6 develop records, 2 6 lightroom develop files previews.irdata, which I am unable to open and have no idea what is in them.

    And I have a folder on my desktop called new lightroom 6, which has a file called lightroom 6 in which has all my latest pix.

    How to consolidate this mess when I know not what is half of the files because I can't open most of them?

    Small question is - how to get catalogs and collections of my computer laptop lightroom app to my desktop lightroom app?

    Thank you

    Lightroom does not really use a file structure, it's a database.

    The photos must be in a folder somewhere in your operating system, and when you import a photo into Lightroom, the location of the actual folder and file name is entered in the Lightroom database, so now Lightroom knows where your photo.

    Now, I don't know it that all of these folders on your computer that you describe. You'll have to sort this possibility, somehow, perhaps by opening each folder Lightroom (not in your operating system) to see the benefits. Now, when you look in your operating system, you must find all the folders that contain pictures of Lightroom (you just find these files in the previous sentence), as well as the folder that contains your catalog and presets and preferences file. The default locations for these things and instructions to move your installation of Lightroom to another computer, are here: How can I move a computer to a new Lightroom?

  • Find my temporary folder - NOT the Temporary Internet Files folder

    Where can I find the temporary files folder? I'm not looking for the Temporary Internet Files folder but the temporary file folder. I recently downloaded a digital purchase from a Web site on my computer. Normally, I can right click and select Save target as and select the folder where I want to save it. But, for some reason any this site does not allow me to do this process. So I have to click on the download button and it starts to save the file in my folder for temporary files. I'll watch the Internet Temp folder - package not there. Then, I noticed there is a folder Temp basic - but for the life of me - I can't find? I tried to do a search advaced on my computer to find the file - it takes hours. I don't have the time to sit here and look for the file - do not to seem pretentious - but it is taking my business time. 1 can anyone tell me where to find the folder for temporary files? and 2. Anyone know how I can change when the files are automatically uploaded? I know you used to be able to do it via IE and tools. But I do not see this option. Any help will be appreciated!

    The following article tells you where it is and how to clean it (if it's of any interest):http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/104637-temporary-files-temp-folder.html.

    As far as downloads go, everyone I did always asked me if I want to run the file or save it, and if I select save it allows me to access the location of my choice.  I've never had one who just downloaded without any warning to some place that he chose.  The following article can help you by setting a default value or revise the value default or the fixing of the problem presented no option (even if it is by reference to another article):http://unlockforus.blogspot.com/2008/07/how-to-find-or-specify-download.html.

    I hope this helps.

  • I keep the system of file/folder in Windows 7... It will change anytime soon (Windows 8)?

    There will be a choice/option to know if yes or no users will want to use the old system XP/Vista-folders/files in Windows 8? You are familiar with the old addage, "DON'T FIX it NOT... IF it IS NOT BROKEN! "The old system had its good and bad points and good high point was its ability to drop and drag... to fairly well set up their own system of folder/file in no time at all for me. Also, I have problems with the system of file/folder skip around in the Navigation pane. When I click on an element of the page jumps to the bottom of the window... pulling everyting from the top down. Work real irratitating. There is a way no possible way to organize the files or photos by drag - move. I was using either digital or the method alphabeticle of the organization... sometimes both and a reference. It takes longer now. A little longer. I could go on and, but you get the general idea. So, I think that a choice for those who are accustomed to the old XP/Vista method and those who must work with the newest Windows 7, would be grateful to have and enjoy the ability to have the choice between the two methods. It would be a great and welcome addition. Those who are accustomed to the folder/file system Windows 7 would not change. And those he wish they had the old system at their disposal would have this choice. Come on Ms... Eliminate the negative and add to the odf positive side of the new Windows 8. You asked for ideas...

  • The temporary Internet files folder

    How can I clean a Temporary Internet Files folder properties shows a 21.5 MB content but nothing appears in the tree of files?

    «.. . and says disk cleanup I could free 2 k of disk in dealing with internet Temp files. yipeee... »

    I agree, 2 k of cleanup seems not even the time it takes to run Disk Cleanup. Personally, I've never used the feature in private so I can't comment on that, maybe, someone experienced with it will post more information.

    Maybe the free version of CCleaner utility can help with your files not found. I use it on all my machines and have seen it recommended countless times in this forum as well as others.

    CCleaner
     http://www.Piriform.com/CCleaner

    CCleaner is very effective for not only erase the temporary Internet files, but also other temporary files, caches and other accumulated junk.

    If you decide to try, by default most everything on Windows and tabs Applications are checked to be cleaned. You must first carefully consider this list (it's compiled by what you have installed) and check/uncheck accordingly.

    Then, click analyze to see what will be removed (nothing is deleted when you click Analyze); When the scan is finished you can double-click on (or right-click and select view detailed results) none of the entries in the list to get more information.

    In the detailed view of the results, you can right click on options such as Add to exclusion list if you want the deleted item.

    Once you are completely comfortable with your selections you can click the Run Cleaner button, and then click OK to the warning before running the vacuum cleaner.

    CCleaner also has a registry cleaner, which I do not recommend the use - unless you are a very experienced user and understand the possible consequences and take the necessary precautions. Registry cleaners, either free or commercial, IMO expose a user to a very high risk of creating serious problems and, eventually, a system that won't start.

    The Tools section has also two useful functions, Startup and System Restore.

    The start feature is very useful in managing what programs start when Windows starts (although I personally prefer Windows Sysinternals Autoruns for Windows). However, no matter which boot manager you can use, it is always better to consider Options a program, preferences, settings, etc., to prevent them from starting at boot time before resorting to a Boot Manager.

    Autoruns for Windows

    CCleaner System Restore feature is excellent to remove older restoration that you no longer want to keep or need points. Sometimes this can free up a lot of disk space. However, it is not recommended to delete all THE restore points that you don't want in the future.

    Since you're under Windows XP SP3, there is one last point I want to mention if you try to recover hard disk space, it is the removal of the Programs uninstall of patches. This can sometimes release a significant amount of disk space. When Windows is selected in the cleaner section with the tab, you will see down under Advanced patches uninstallers.

    These files contain the uninstall information for each update of Microsoft that install. This means that you will not be able to uninstall the updates if you delete these folders. You can leave here unless you have need of available disk space. If your system is stable, and if you intend to uninstall an update is no longer, so go ahead and remove the $NtUninstall... corresponding records. Or you can move these files to another hard drive or burn them to CD before you delete the hard drive.

    The above is an excerpt from the next page, and it is recommended that these files be saved on an external before deleting as shown in the snippet above.

  • JPEG image is displayed in the selected image files folder

    When the discovery of the computer and selecting the image file folder - I use to get the small real individual images of each image in the folder without having to enter in the Windows Photo Gallery.  Now, I have only an icon, the same as that for each of the images and the only way I can see that the actual image is to select a specific icon and hope that is the image I'm looking for.  Can someone tell me how I can get all the individual photos in the folder of image file to display when I select that folder?

    Hi looking, advanced

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

    I first suggest you to change the display of the photo icons folder type medium or large icons and check if that helps.

    To do this, follow these steps:

    Open the photo folder. Click view > select icons medium or large icons.

    Make sure that default programs > associate a file or protocol type with a program, file types .bmp, .ico, DIBs, .jfif, .jpeg, .jpe, .png, .png, .tiff, .tif, .wdp file names must have the default program like Windows Photo Gallery.

    Otherwise, select the type of file name, click on change program and browse to choose as default Windows Photo Gallery.

    Additionally, set the global folder options

    To specify the global settings that apply to all folders, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Folder Options.
    2. On the general tab, click the options you want.
    3. In the view tab, click the options you want.
    4. Click OK.

    Note To restore the default settings for all folders, click restore defaults on the general tab or on the view tab.

    Use the same display settings for all folders

    You can apply the same view settings to all folders on your computer. You cannot apply the same view settings for all folders, images icons, toolbar settings or tasks folder. To apply the same view settings to all folders, follow these steps:

    1. Locate and open the folder which includes the display setting you want to use for all folders.
    2. On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
    3. On the view tab, click apply to all folders.
    4. Click Yes, and then click OK.

    Note To reset all folders to the default display settings, repeat these steps, but click reset all folders in step 3.

    Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

  • Elements of tags in Lightroom keywords AND maintain the structure?

    Hi, I would spend using elements to use Lightroom. While I realize that I can import my catalog and photos, which should also create all my keywords, I fear that the structure of parent/child of existing keywords/tags would be lost? They would be created as a single list contiguous?

    Can anyone confirm this is the case, and if so, someone knows how to move the tags through all retaining the original structure AND remains associated with correct pictures?

    Thank you

    The structure of the catalog has remained exactly the same.

  • How to export the library Photos Apple to Adobe Creative Cloud maintaining the original RAW files

    Hello community,

    I feel 'stupid' as I was on Adobe on my Windows system, then when I went to Mac, I used their Apreture and having migrated to their last Photos app, and affected by the many limitations of it, I try to export my library of Photos Apple together (two of them) in Adobe Creative Cloud.

    The big worry here is that if such a device exists on end of Adobe? And, personally, I spoke with support from Apple for the Photos app and I was told there is _no way_ to export their photos app original RAW files!  It's horrible for a photographer!

    Basically, just want to know if there is a way to migrate the library of Photos Apple (keeping the RAW digital files) on Adobe Creative Cloud.  I searched and not found an answer in the FAQ.

    Thank you

    Ramiel

    Using the Apple Photo of Unmodified Original export feature, it seems, the original RAW. CR2 file could export... so looks like I have to export as this manually and reorganize everything.

    Adobe really needs to have this feature/plugin.  Suggest this feature on http://feedback.photoshop.com and suggest others do as well.

  • How to reset the C:\Program Files & and/or C:\Windows folders to preset (? _)

    While working on the resolution of a virus problem for a friend on a Win XPSP2 system, I clicked on the link "view files...". "in one of these"protected"files and now the files are always visible.

    I want to give them to their protection status to avoid any pilot error by the users.

    At one point, there was an option to restore the default behavior, but I can't, for the life of me, find the option now that the problem is resolved and that the machine is updated for XP3 with all patches of security over the past two years.

    So... does anyone know how to restore these files 'special' to their original default behavior?

    OK... Nevermind; I figured out what to do.  If anyone has the same problem (ok, probably not), it's kind of simple.

    In the file (a/k/a Windows Explorer) Manager, I clicked on the (X) in the left pane (to close the folder list and implement

  • Disable the creation of files desktop.ini in Windows 8

    Hi all

    I want to know if this is a way to disable the creation of files desktop.ini, at least in the desktop system folder.

    I knew that under XP there was a DWORD key which should be created to avoid creating all the desktop.ini files in the computer.

    I don't want the desktop.ini file features (personalization of icon, remembering the last display in each folder options, etc.)

    So I don't want to hide the desktop.ini files. I want to remove them and avoid Windows 8 create again and again.

    If Microsoft has disabled this customization which was present in the earlier version of Windows and now is not available (to disable the creation of files desktop.ini) just say. If there is some other registry key to be created or modified, please advise.

    Thank you

    Pablo.

    Hi Pablo.

    I would like to inform you that the Desktop.ini is a system file that addresses common issues, such as downloads, Documents, photos and music etc. When a change is made in these files, Desktop.ini is updated.

    Deleting the file will cause problems with the operating system and it is not recommended to delete the files. The default desktop.ini a hidden system file and read-only attributes assigned.

    If you want to stop these messages, go to the files through Search Options, click settings and you will see the Folder Options, click on it and the view tab and scroll down until you see "Hide protected operating system files (recommended) and put a checkmark in the box."

    Hope that answers your query. You can write back to us for other queries/problems related to windows and we will be happy to help you further.
