• Cannot move public folders to another location

  Original title: I encounter a strange error while moving the public folder?

  Hello world!

  I encounter a strange error while moving the public folder, although I've done it before without any problem.

  

  

  Thses files that are located in the Public folder in its original volume:

  

  and as you can see this folder "music" is available in the source "C:\users\public".

  That these two folders within the Public folder have been moved to the new location D:\users\public

  

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  However, when I moved to: C:\Users\Public via the command prompt and run the Dir command. I noticed this "Music" folder, but it is not "public music. After that I applied the last command, but instead of running this command:

  "robocopy /MIR %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\Public D:\Users\Public.

  I have run this command with the setting 'music' "Public"

  "robocopy /MIR %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\Public\Music D:\Users\Public.

  And the music folder moved:

  

  But I am quite sruprised that in the first time I did that I only work "robocopy /MIR %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\ D:\Users\PublicPublic .

  "In addition, as you can see that there is no ' Document Public" and "Public Desktop" in the output of the command "Dir /" via the command prompt. However, records two moved with the command "" robocopy /MIR %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\Public D:\Users\Public "without any problem.

  ------------------------------------------------------

  These steps, I made a request to transfer:

  This can be done by a directory connection that can redirect to a new location of the Public folder.

  First create a new folder on E:\ and maybe you want to call it Public.

  Go to Cmd prompt as administrator.

  All copy existing public folders to the new folder created using the command
  Robocopy /MIR %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\Public E:\Public (or any name that you used for public folders on E :)

  You need robocopy as it supports the hidden files, etc., especially if you haveRecorded TV public folder.

  Once the copy is transferred, you must remove the existing public folder and create an ajunction in his place. To do this, start mode safe mode as an administrator and remove thepubliccontents and folder, and then start theCmd as an administrator command prompt. To remove the Public folder:

  rmdir /s /q %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\Public

  After you have created the new folder location and deleting the existing publicfolder, now is the time to create a directory Junction forpublic folder with the following command:

  MKLINK /J %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\Public E:\Public (or any name you named the folder opublic on E:\)

  for example: mklink /d C:\Users\Public E:\Public

  Now, all that is intended for the original Public folder gets directed to the new location.
  I hope this helps.

• Win7: How can I move user folder to another drive

  (with all its tentacles of registry supported)

  Related to this issue but a little different (using Win7 RC)
  I would like to move the folders from the user for all members of the family to E:\
  What is the best way?
  When I cut and paste, I am warned a bunch of system folders. In addition, I don't see the LOCATION tab when I click on properties.

  When you create a clean installation, using the combination of a system SSD drive and a conventional disc, such as a data reader, there is a way to 'move' the users folder (normally, C:\Users) and the hidden ProgramData folder (normally C:\ProgramData) for the conventional disc, or the data reader, using an answer file, or an unattend.xml file for an unattended Setup, as mentioned above.

  For a person making a unique, one-time Setup, trying to figure out how to create an answer for fully automatic, just installation file to accomplish this small one, is average, far too much trouble.  It is also not necessary.

  It is possible, during an installation of conventional and interactive disc installation or USB thumbdrive, to enter what we call, 'Mode of Audit', until the computer is called or a created user name and perform the necessary reallocation.

  (1.) a conventional facility.  If you are using an SSD, at the point the installation process where you are asked where you want to install Windows, you must use disk Options to delete all partitions on the SSD drive, before you select the SSD drive as a target.  Do not manually partition or format the drive before installation.  Windows 7 will do and must do, because Windows needs to align the logical format with the characteristics of the physical drive, and, also, Windows wants a small system partition for its own purposes.

  2.) when installation stops, waiting for you to give a user name and a computer name, the computer are not!  Press Ctrl + Shift + F3, and the computer will restart in... (wait for it!) "Audit mode '!  Basically, Windows create a disposable administrator account and log in, as this disposable administrator.  Hurt you, with regard to this temporary user survive complete the installation, but the computer works normally, and you can install the drivers and software.  Every time that the computer starts in Audit mode (you are allowed to restart), a version of Sysprep.exe GUI will pop up, offering to restart the computer in OOBE (out of box experience).  OOBE is where you were a moment before - that is to say, where you create a username and computer name and installation is complete.  Do not restart in OOBE, until you are ready to complete the installation.

  3.) he should know what drive letter (or the location of the folder) will be assigned to your disk Datadrive.  So, it's time, in audit mode, to understand this.  If you need to partition or format the datadrive, do so now.  On the Start Menu, right click on "Computer" and select Manage from the context menu, go to the computer management console.  In the management console of the computer, storage/disk management, you will find tools to change drive letters, partition, etc.

  4.) you need only a minimal answer file.  It is an xml (text file) file created in Windows System Image Manager application.  You can call what you want.  I would say: folders.xml.  Here are the contents of a folders.xml file, which is re - locate users and ProgramData to D:\

  
  
     
         
             
                  d:\Users
                  d:\ProgramData
             
         
     
     
  

  I'm going to imagine a scenario where you make this file on another computer, and transfer to the computer when the installation is done using a USB key, which, when it is connected to the computer in Audit Mode, is attributed to the extra drive letter:

  You could probably just copy the text above into Notepad and save it as a text file with the .xml extension and be good to go, as long as you wanted to use d:\Users and d:\ProgramData as your Datadrive locations.  (I used this answer file, with success; I do not guarantee that it will work for others.)

  5. to use the folders.xml, located in the root directory of your flash drive, plugged and visible under U:\ form, you must open a command prompt, access c:\windows\system32\sysprep and give this command:

  Sysprep.exe /audit /reboot /unattend:U:\folders.xml

  This will cause the reboot of the computer, but you will end up right back in Audit Mode.  As long as you're still in Audit Mode, re-location of these dossiers is not complete, because the temporary administrator useraccount still has his stuff in C:\Users and there are still a few active databases in C:\ProgramData.

  6.) now, you need to say goodbye in Audit Mode.  Remember that a graphical interface for the use of Sysprep to initialize the OOBE appears whenever you re - boot into Audit Mode.  "So after restart you 5.) you will have your chance to run it.  (If it comes to your personal computer, do check the box "Generalize" in the GUI of Sysprep).

  7.) finishing your Windows installation, create a permanent user name and giving the computer a name, etc.  When you're finally running, go get to C:\  C:\Users should have disappeared.  C:\ProgramData is probably still there, but it is normally hidden, so you won't know, until you go to Folder Options and check Show hidden files and folders.  D:\Users and D:\ProgramData (hidden) must also exist.

  8.), I like the idea of using junctions to intercept any program crazy enough to hardcode to c:\users or c:\programdata you will need to delete or move C:\ProgramData, before creating a junction to C:\ProgramData pointing to D:\ProgramData.  The command line tool, mklink, is useful here.  Open a command prompt, and then type mklink /? to get instructions.  If you want a right click GUI tool, you can check:http://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/hardlinkshellext.html

  After you create junctions, I think you could use regedit to edit the ProfileList key to the locations of origin C:\.  Folders.XML will have changed the Folderlist key, so that everything points to D:\ instead of %systemdrive%\ or C:\   I'm not sure what would be the point, but you couldn't.

• How can I move the OS to another drive.

  I have a HP Pavilion Elite HPE with Win7 Pro as my OS and a single 1 TB HD.  Is it possible to move my C and D partitions to a smaller drive?  If so, how do I.  (I realize I have to buy another drive... (LOL).

  Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions, C ;-)

  Hello cindy906, you should be able to add a smaller hard drive to your system and use the restore disks HP recovery that you should already have, while leaving the current hard drive installed.

  There is a question that you would need to know. If you leave the current hard drive cables connected and use the Recovey HP restore to reimage the new hard drive, when you start the installation of the Windows operating system, the installation program (System partition) can be changed on the current hard drive. If you install Windows7 SP1, the Boot Manager will be changed and make the current version no longer starts.

  Windows 7 creates a configuration (System) partition when it installs hidden. When there is already a system on a system partition, Windows 7 will be find and replace it with the new OS when you update to Windows 7 SP1.

  Once the new disk has been reimagee with the game to restore HP Recovery disks, and the operating system has been installed, you can then reconnect the cables on the current hard drive and use it as a backup drive or delete it if you prefer.

  You would not be able to move the current hard disk to another system, for legal reasons and problems of compatibility with the already installed drivers for the HP computer, unless you formatted the hard drive and deleted the C: and D: partitions and the hidden partition of 100 MB.

  If all three partitions are formatted, the reader could be wiped clean and could be used on another system.

• Impossible to share public folders, printer & external drives

  In the network and sharing Center sharing pubic records and printer sharing are off and when I try to change them, I get the above error msg.

  I tried to log in as an ADMINISTRATOR, same problem. I even tried allowing all Services but again same problem.

  Another problem is the drive C has no restore points and I am unable to create manually I get a msg of error: DISK WRITE PROTECTED but can write, record & copy files, etc. on the disc.

• How to move public folders

  move a public folder under proprties, it is a function move address line, but it won't change

  move a public folder under proprties, it is a function move address line, but it won't change

  1. you do not move a Public folder. You place what is inside of the Public folder.

  2. why went to properties to move a folder?

  Open the Public folder > select the subfolder that you want to move > drag and drop the file to the desired location.

  A better way is to use Move To or copy to options in the right click context menu.

  Open the Public folder > select the folder that you want to move > right click it > click Copy To > navigate to the folder/location > until it clicks > click Copy > go and make sure if the folder is copied to the new location. If Yes, you can remove the Public folder (if you want).

  If you do not Move To and copy in your context menu, use this tutorial:

• Remote access to public folders - password

  On this HP Pavilion HPE h8-1020 desktop computer, I want to access the public folders to another system that connect wirelessly to the network. However, I would like to restrict access to the only people who have a password. I was able to enter 'Network & sharing Center' in the 'advanced sharing settings' section and deselect the password option, which allows the connection of a computer to another, but would also allow someone on the street to access these "public" folders These records contain information that is not really public. How can I determine the user name and the password to use when I re - select the password option?

  I have not implemented 'users' on each machine. Maybe it's the access protected by a key. ???

  This issue has been resolved by my realization that the Wi - Fi protected by, only those who have permission can also access these "public" files Since only those who authorize have access to this same address wireless, it is unlikely that others would be able to view these files.

• How can I move the public folders default location to a new drive?

  I'll put up a brand new machine with Windows 7 pre-installed and a big 500 GB hard drive.  I partitioned the drive into 2 logical drives C: and E:

  Wherever possible I want to store all user data on E: (I know is not possible for all the parameters of the user to move - mores the pity).  I have not yet copied across all the data from my old machine so I just empty folders to play with at the moment.  I moved all the My Documents/pictures/etc files for the e: drive by changing the location in the properties of the folder.

  However, I can't do the same with public folders.  If I right click on the folder, click Properties, then location, it's like I can't change C:\Users\Public\... but it does not change

  No idea why, or how I can get around this?

  This is possible thanks to a Directory junction that can redirect to a new location of the Public folder.

  First create a new folder on E:\ and maybe you want to call it Public.

  Go to Cmd prompt as administrator.

  All copy existing public folders to the new folder created using the command
  Robocopy /MIR %Systemdrive%\Users\Public E:\Public     (or any name that you used for public folders on E :)

  You need robocopy as he takes care of hidden files, etc., especially if you have the recorded TV folder in public folders.

  Once the copy is transferred, you must delete the existing public folder and create a junction in his place. To do this, boot into Safe Mode as an administrator and remove the public content and file inviting again by running Cmd as administrator. To remove the Public folder:

  RmDir /s /q %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\Public
  
  After creating the new folder location and remove the existing public folder, now is time to create a Directory junction of audiences with the following folders:

  Mklink /J %Systemdrive%\Users\Public E:\Public                         (or any name you named the folder opublic on E:\)

  for example: mklink /dC:\Users\Public E:\Public   

  Now, all that is intended for the original Public folder gets directed to the new location.
  I hope this helps.

• How do I remove, rename, or move files or folders in another program, that I can't find?

  Im running Windows 7 Ultimate edition. What should I do to solve this problem: too often, when I try to delete, rename or move a file/s or folder/s so on my desktop, documents, library, or anywhere with a typical, it should create a custom folder, I get an error message telling me that I can not remove this file or folder because it is open in another program. It drives me crazy because I don't know what the heck, or when the devil this folder doesn't exist anywhere else on my laptop. I tried to look for programs and files to determine if there are duplicate areas where the file can share with another path, but nothing. I also looked at the properties of the file/folder, but it does show me nothing relevant, even if I uncheck the read-only box. I am the only user/administrator of my laptop. I created a profile of the privileged administrator I use only, nothing else. I run a home network with 5 computers and treat various problems in the past, but this problem started recently, after I upgraded my network of Windstream modem 4220 + linksys wrt600n to Windstream wireless all-in-one router. The new router was a piece of * so I've not unhooked it and reiinstalled my original Windstream modem 4220 + linksys wrt600n devices. I had a few problems, but everything is now back to how it was. I can only think that this may have something to do with the share on the network? Correct me if I'm wrong (please), but there seems to be too many titles listed under users? It's whats listed under users: administrator, Classic .NET AppPool, default, default AppPool, (my username) and Public. In any case, please help % @#! I think I may be fubar had my network configuration after uninstallation and reinstallation of the windstream (local phone/internet provider) facilities and added a printer wireless capability (which does not). and may have caused the problem that I can't delete, rename or move files or folders in another program, that I can't find? If yes or else, HELP!

  When you have the problem that happens, open the Task Manager.
  Then, you can view the processes that are open and see if the program or file is open by another process. If so, then select end task.
  Then return to Windows Explorer and see if you can remove the file now.

  You may also be able to delete the file in Mode without failure.
  To access Safe Mode:
  (a) restart your computer and start pressing F8 on your keyboard. On a computer that is configured to start to multiple operating systems, you can press the F8 key when the Boot Menu appears.
  (b) select an option when the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, and press ENTER.
  (c) when the boot menu appears again, and the words "Safe Mode" appear in blue at the bottom, select the installation that you want to start, and then press ENTER.

  If you run a Web server, you can see the AppPool under users.

  An application pool is a group of one or more URLS served by a worker process or a set of worker processes. Application pools define limits for the applications they contain, which means that all the applications that are running outside of a given application pool does not affect applications in the application pool.

  Hope this has helped answer your questions.

  Thank you!

  Hello

This will create an impact for end users in terms of access, permissions, data loss and it? I do any precautionary measures agreement to move?
