  • Start the list of all menu Programs - folder accidentally moved to the desktop

    I just got a new computer with Windows 7.  I accidentally dragged a folder in the "all programs" list in the start menu on the desktop.  I just wanted to create a shortcut, but accidentally moved the folder instead.  How do I restore the folder to the list of "all programs"?

    Hello

    That is not a problem and it is easy to retrieve.  You are going to want to go where the files and folders are stored in your Start menu and the best way to do this is to open your Start menu, go to all programs and on another folder with the right mouse button and choose explore.  This will put you in the location wherever the folders and shortcuts are stored.  From there, just move up a level and move the backrest to the workstation and you should be good.

    For more information, there are 2 folders that make up what you see in the menu start, a common (or public) and a private.  Both get merged to give a smooth.

    The common (public), one is to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start start\program

    and the private sector, one is C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

    Files above are below hidden folders so you will need to first enable the option to view hidden folders and files, but the right click Explore method is the best way to get there anyway.

    Finally, if you want to create a shortcut to a folder on the start menu, find it and then right click and choose "send to".  Under this menu, you will see an option to create a shortcut on the desktop.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck & enjoy Windows 7

  • Four fingers sliding between the desktops?

    What happened to the ability of sweeping four fingers between desktop computers (Sierra)?  Is it gone or just hidden somewhere?  I looked in the trackpad system preferences and I see is the ability to scan to four fingers between apps fullscreen.  I used four-finger drag to move between desktops countless times every day, I hope that this feature did not go away or I'll be a frustrated Mac head.  If it disappeared (shouldn't be), how the hell move us between workstations?

    OK, I stumbled accidentally on a solution.  I have reset my desktop image and four fingers sliding between the offices came back.  Phew!

  • Icons cannot be moved on the desktop

    I just changed my desktop image.  I noticed the trash moved to the side left (he was on the right side at the start) in line with my other icons.  When I try to drag the icon to the trash to another area on the desktop, it jumps to the left side.  What I've done wrong?

    It seems that "Auto arrange" has set in motion.

    Right-click on an empty space on your desktop, then:

    Organize the icons in-> uncheck "auto arrange".

    "Icons disappear or that you cannot move icons on the desktop".

    I would take my stuff graphics and photography with me so I can work on it during periods of downs at work. Desktop computers are iMacs. Not ready to switch to a laptop again.

    You can not install the creative Cloud Desktop application on an external drive.  You could install creative cloud on both computers and use the synchronization feature to access the files on both computers.

    Please see the FAQ section of this link: download and install apps Adobe Creative Cloud.

    Although Adobe indicates that you install the application on the main drive, it is possible to change the destination of the installation of creative cloud app preferences. Please note that there will always be shared resources stored on your primary drive.  In addition, temporary files will be created on your main drive during the installation process. The Adobe Creative Cloud desktop application will remain on the default drive.

    Synchronization of files:

    You can synchronize files from your computer to creative cloud and access them from anywhere. The files are instantly available on your connected devices and computers and your Creative Cloud Files page. To synchronize files, download and install the desktop creative cloud application on all computers.

    To synchronize files, do one of the following:

    Copy, paste, or move files to a folder on your computer or the Creative Cloud Files directory.

    You can open the creative Cloud Files directory or the file of the creative cloud desktop app by clicking the Active tab, and then the files Panel, and then Open the folder.

    In an application, choose file > save or file > save under and navigate to the Creative Cloud Files directory or folder on your computer.

    The original files are still on your computer or device. Files are synchronized via CC to all connected devices.

    You can view your files online on the page creative resources of cloud. Once the files are synchronized, you don't need to be connected and you can view them in the designer Cloud Files directory or folder on your computer.

    For more information on the use of the downloaded files to creative cloud, see files and manage Active.

  • Navigation pane completely screwed after Parent folder library moved to the desktop by mistake

    Please someone help me! I was at the own temporary file last night and somehow in the process I need to have done drag the folder of libraries under the desk on the Navigation pane. So I had Office appear under Favorites and then as one of the bureau which had libraries in it as well as Documents, music, photos and videos. I found a suggestion of support that says right click on libraries and then "restore default". However, this does not work. I then found another suggestion of support under another question posted and he said to go to your username and to restore by default and now ALL my files are appearing under the second office. (First Office is always appear under Favorites.) When I watch the office itself there is no shortcut to libraries. I just like my tree organized as the default Windows Navigation pane. I am petrified to do more on mine because I don't want to make one delete a folder and lose anything! On top of that, I have Sync of sugar which is on my old laptop and my other I'm talking about now. I had taken two laptops for "Geek Squad" to have everything transferred on another and explained that I had a storage cloud sync program. They said they knew all about who and how to get all the data on the new laptop. I told them that I didn't need to use the cable to transfer mobile to mobile. HOWEVER, when I picked up the laptops, they HAD used the cable and all the folders have been duplicated! I didn't know how to get rid of duplicates (not knowing which was the record 'original' and who was the double, so I left it alone.) At least I knew how to find my stuff! I wish I could post a screenshot of what it looks like now, but I can't understand how to do it anymore. I press prt sc to copy it to the Clipboard and then try to paste here, but it does not work. Sorry this is so long and hiking but I wanted to try to describe what happened. I'm desperate! Any help is appreciated!

    Well good to remove the nine, just right-click and use 'delete' or 'delete' (varies according to the place where the icon).  Without prejudice to the because you can always pick up something from the trash if you accidentally delete.

    What I would say is just first TreeViewImageSet.Custom to folder Explorer all values by default in order to boot from a fresh install by default.  To do this:

    1. Click on organize at the top left of the folder, choose folder and Search Options
    2. Click 'Restore defaults' on all 3 tabs, and then click OK.

  • Catalogues moved between the drives in the library.

    I have all my photos on external hard drives, that I imported by Lightroom. Until that currently when I pluged them they wher on-site.

    Suddenly something happened and the swiched of files between hard drives in the library and so are absent with question mark.

    Drive E contains the folders of the drive F and F contains records of drive E, that is not the reality. Files are in place, but Lightroom is a gap between them, and they are not accessible.

    It happened in the past and I managed to be it resolved by restoring the computer to a time before the event.

    now I have new computer with Windows 10. I transferred the catalogs successfully, but it happened again. The new Board of Windows, it is difficult to find how to restore to a date frewious at the time. When I found it, it does not give a date prior to the event.

    I don't know why this is happening and what it runs.

    Here are a few screenshots:

  • Moving between the keyboard shortcut Documents: Acrobat Pro DC

    Since the update to version 2015.009.20069 of Acrobat Pro DC on Mac Pro (end of 2013), I am unable to use any keyboard shortcut to navigate between open documents. Before the most recent update to Acrobat Pro DC, it was possible to navigate between documents open by using the keyboard shortcut. So, what has changed with the keyboard shortcut?

    Paul

    Hi Paul,.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I think you want to open several documents (e.g. 3) in acrobat and then switch between them (i.e. the document 1 document 2 and so on).

    Since version 2015.009.20069, several documents are open as tabs instead of Windows of Acrobat.

    You can use Ctrl + Tab to switch to the next tab and Ctrl + Shift + Tab to switch to the previous tab.

    You can use the Add-on Firefox Sync. Just take into account that the extension will soon be obsolete, because, as you know, the synchronization is incorporated into the latest version of the browser, Firefox 5.

  • Why the phone Version appears as the desktop version when it is online

    I designed a website in Adobe Muse. I also did a layout of the phone. The site is now online. On the phone, the site opens in the phone, layout, but after the use of navigation, the site was moved to the desktop version, which is not readable on the phone.

    What can I do to make the phone work properly?

    Looks like you need to update your navigation so that the buttons link to versions of the pages rather than the office phone those?
