• Duplicate files: I have a large number of directories and files dublicate in "C:\Documents and Settings".

  I have a large number of dublicate files and directories in 'C:\Documents and Settings\Jim\' and 'C:\Users\Jim\' after the upgrade of Windows Vistat Ultimate 64 bit to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. Why?

  The documents are really in the second folder, Documents and Settings is
  a junction point.
   
  In Vista and Windows 7, "Documents and Settings" is not a folder.
  Vista/Win7 uses a different file structure than XP/don't. Those who don't know
  the names of folders you can be used for, such as "My Documents", "Documents &.
  Settings', etc. are not folders in Vista/Win7. They are the points of junction,
  and are used for legacy programs that have been written to use the XP file
  structure.
  They will redirect the programs to use the Vista/Win7 equivalents records.
  If you keep hidden protected operating system files, you will not see them.
   
  In Vista/Win7...
  The documents & settings-> \Users
  My Documents-> \Users\youraccount\Documents
  My music-> \Users\youraccount\Music
  Application-> \Users\youraccount\AppData data
  etc.

• Windows 7 and bios sees not the hard drive, but when I connect the hard drive to the USB with an adapter, I see directories and files

  Please, I need pc

  Original title: windows 7 and bios does not see the hard drive. but when I connect the hard drive to the USB with an adapter, I see directories and files... Ive a hp Pavilion, what to do?

  Check the BIOS for hard drive setting.

  Make sure that you do not connect the drive to a SATA/RAID port.

  Old IDE drives - check the jumper on the drive (use "Cable Select" as a starting point), the BIOS must also be set in legacy/compatibility/IDE mode. Note: If you currently use the AHCI mode, then switch to IDE mode may cause Windows to boot.

• Need to backup all programs and files without the System Image

  Hi all

  Recently, I myself in a dilemma. I installed 4 additional disks with the intention of creating a RAID volume supported by the BIOS. To do this, I need to change the BIOS setting of the controller which includes all the volumes, including my boot drive (that I don't intend to RAID). The problem I have is that when I pass the UEFI to RAID controller, Windows Recovery will not use the System Image I did. He said that the volume was created under a different arrangement (Bios vs. EFI).

  What are my options? Is there a different backup setting, which allows to keep all my installed software? I am not concerned with the data that I can copy it to an external volume, but it would take several days to get all of my software reinstalled. I would like to avoid this. I guess I'll have to reinstall Windows Pro 8.1 and then use a backup program to restore everything. If this is the case, then I need to know which backup program will work. If there is a better way, I would like to know. I see my options in the form, get another backup program, get a map of controller for the boot drive or the RAID volume or just reinstall.

  Thank you

• Difficulty a user profile corrupt: impossible to copy and paste user\C:------directories and files; is locked a factor of State?

  I'm trying to fix my profile by following the instructions found here. It is well written and easy to follow. Except that I can't make it work.

  I copy everything except the ntuser files (do not know if they are completely copy) but when I go to the new user and click on paste, nothing happens. And when I check in a directory, say 'office,' my files aren't there.

  I don't know why but quite a number of my directories is locked, including the "desktop" and many in the appdata directory. I think that there is too much to try to take ownership and change permissions; I can't do that for all of these directories.

  Is there a way to get around this?

  Thanks much for any help.

  Promotion of all administrator-level accounts won't hurt.

  What you say sounds pretty confusing. It is not consistent with my knowledge of Windows and the file/folder permissions. Here are a few options for you to consider:

  • Take ownership of your folders of problem - see here:
    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753659.aspx
  • Ask a computer-savvy friend to help you.
  • Give me remote access to your machine.

• XP is slow after all service packs and updates. Is there a summary of Windows XP that includes all upgrades and runs FASTER?

  I reformatted my Dell 2.4 ghz pc (only 512 MB of ram) to the original state of xp. It was incredibly FAST.  But to run programs, I was forced to upgrade to service pack 2. Service this pack 3.  It is slower than molasses in January in Chicago.  Microsoft has an XP consolidated and updated that includes all the security updates and new features in 1 integrated fast program?

  Spin Norton - bought after that it came with the machine.

  Ah! Norton applications are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself. This gives a whirlwind:

  1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all Norton software (including LiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) via Add/Remove Programs.

  4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

  NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

  5. double-click on the file that you saved in #1 above to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  6. do a clean install of your Norton application, using your product ID & reboot: http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN

  TIP: Do not activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.

  7. manually and repeatedly run LiveUpdate until you get a prompt "no update more".

  8 test cycle.

• All Documents and files of Desktop/shortcuts will miss - restore but still - missing but the properties of the folder indicates the used disk space

  I use Windows Vista Home Premium.  I am the only user and gave me administrative prvileges.

  I was working on my computer when I decided to look at some of my data to the application.  I have come to C:\Users\MYPROFILE but don't see the AppData folder.  However, all my other files were there (office, Documents, etc.).  I have a click with the button right on my profile and click on the attributes Hidden and hit apply.  He took a few moments he went through all folders of files (you can tell by when it indicates the size).

  After this happened, I tried to go back in C:\Users but my profile was gone.

  I restarted and when the office came, all my desktop files had disappeared and the shortcut to IE.  When I click on my profile, it was empty with the exception of the default folders.  All default folders were empty of all my data.

  I did a restore system a few days ago and my profile came, but it was always empty.  However, when I go to c:\users and right click on my profile and press properties, it shows size 11.5 GB as well as the creation date of February 17, 2009 (which is correct).  However all my data are still missing.  Any ideas?

  Display your user folder by deleting a hidden file attribute can be set on the access property page when you right click on your user folder.  Let the net of new low for subfolders and files not hidden attribute when the option is available to you.

  To see the hidden files and system under normal circumstances, go to control panel / Folder Options / view and uncheck both options so that they are visible.  This is not your main problem, however, you must remove the attribute hidden in your user folder.

• Build specification does include all of the files for my VI.

  Hello!

  As part of a semester project, I have to build a VI to control a filtration unit. The VI works fine on my computer, but I control the next month and I need to send files to a person on the University. The problem is that even if I use the function 'Build Specification' (I use the 2011 LabView professional development system), the files are still missing when the program is started on the new computer. A warning in the project file indicates that the files are missing or removed to another location. A file named pid.lib is not found, and it seems that the path of each file is the same on my computer, but does not change the specification of build that adjust the new computer.

  I am a newbe LabView and I have searced this forum and help files to try to solve this problem by myself, but now my time is more limited. Can someone help me with this?

  Hi Henrik

  You can see what versions of LabVIEW and toolboxes installed in measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX). If you MAX Open and select 'my system'--> 'software in the menu of left, then you can see all installed software.

  

  If you click on the installation of LabVIEW. In this case, LabVIEW 2011, you can see all the installed tool boxes.

  

  When you run a LabVIEW project / application on another PC, LabVIEW will use a priority defined in the place where to load the files to. This is specified in Tools--> Options-->--> VI search path Path.

  For LabVIEW will be frist was trying to find the VI/VI library in your project folder and if the VI is not located there it will look like for her as a function of generation in vilib, userlib or LabVIEW instrlib files. These files contains VI and VI installed with LabVIEW libraries.

  In this case, as mentioned above you correctly do not have the same toolboxes installed on both machines. This is why the PID.lib is not found in the vilib folder as it should be, and so you get the error. You can check by looking at the installed modules, as mentioned above.

• How can I move the folders from Windows XP that contains "Live Mail" e-mail files to a different location than C:\Document and Setings\...?

  I just migrated my PC Windows XP "Outlook Express" to "Live Mail" and the migration went really well - the progress of conversion migrated without any human intervention my thousands and thousands of emails, my many Email of OE, my address book files.

  I have however a problem and are not top-of-now a solution for this.

  With Outlook Express, files of Windows XP with my emails were on another Partition of Disk Partition c.  It is important for me, for all the 'application data' (for example, all emails) stored in another partition of the disc the C partition. Because if trouble with newly installed software (for example a beta Version of the software), I can use a backup of my C Partition and restore it without losing the data of the application (for example without losing everything new emails).

  Question 1: With "Live Mail", can I keep my emails to another folder of Windows XP as the standard C:\Document and Settings\... file? If Yes: How can I do this?

  Question 2: Is this whole "C:\Document and Settings\nom of utilisateur\Local settings\application data\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail" folder that I can move to another location?

  Where can I get information on these topics?

  Thank you for an answer.

  My apologies. I was finally able to find a description on how to move the folder containg XP on the Web e-mail "Live Mail".
