My programs and my files are gone.

Original title: is possible to find my programs and my files. They're all gone.

It appeared that a security program that I'm not familiar with (something like x cloud) took over the windows security and now my webroot security and all other programs and all my files are gone.  How can I safely retrieve them and get rid of the invader?

In truth?

    Hi GeneVachon,

    1. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

    You can try a system restore to a previous point where you have not experienced the problem.

    Note: When you perform the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    To run the system restore, you can consult the following link:

  • Creative cloud - "Unable to load location Sync" and unable to access cloud files and local files are gone

    I continue to receive messages that the creative cloud is unable to synchronize files with my local folder.  The only thing that has changed since it was working yesterday is the creative cloud update installed today.  He keeps creating new "Creative Cloud (unknown) Files" folders in the folder it's supposed to be synchronization of files with.  I can't go to my projects because it is currently impossible to load the location of the synchronization.  I need this fixed ASAP so I can get working on my project.

    Creative application cloud seems helpful with 'Open the file' or 'View on the Web' buttons - but they don't do anything when I click on them.  In preferences, I am told it is impossible to load the sync location and the "Contact customer support" does nothing when I click it.

    What gives?  I need to go to work

    Customer support can be reached and it works again.

    The Fix: Delete the Coresync folder and all Adobe processes in the Task Manager and restarted creative cloud.

    I recently bought a new camera from Sony a7 - ii.  the first time I tried to import raw images taken with it (with a. Suffix ARW) the program says "Preview not available for this file" and then "files are not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom" I have the most updated version, I think as 5.7.  What should I do to get these files imported as raw files?

    Hi Bobsirkus,

    The camera you have is compatible with the latest version of Lightroom, which is Lightroom 6/CC.

    Please see the list of the camera supported by Lightroom: supported by Adobe Camera Raw devices

    You can use the DNG Converter, converts images and then import them into DNG in Lightroom.

    Hi, I have just reset my Firefox and he lost ALL the TABS at the top. Bookmarks, history, leadership, Edit and Options tabs are GONE. I don't know that I named all right, but they ARE GONE. Please tell me how to get back them. Thanks, Chris

    Edit: removed your email address from the public view, since the only thing that will attract are spambots. you will be notified by email whenever someone replies to the thread, because of a bug in the forum unfortunately with a slight delay. (philipp)

    The toolbars are still on display in your browser?

    If you still have the address bar, right click on any part that is not a text box or the icon, or if you do not like that of any space right click on the three horizontal lines on the right side of the address bar window. This should show some options, click on 'Menu Bar' and the tabs you are missing should appear.

    As a side note, usually if these options are missing, your icon of firefox in the upper left corner of the window should look different (being a rectangular button itself as opposed to an icon), and the 'file', 'Edition', 'Bookmarks', etc., are found after clicking on this button.

    Hope that helps.

  • I downloaded pictures from my camera and now they are gone... where could they be?

    I just downloaded MOED photos my camera and now they are gone.  I've looked everywhere.  I do not remove them.  They moved from my camera as well.  What to do next?

    • How did you download them?
    • What is the extension of file for these photos? If you do not know, download a photo of test to find out.
    • Do a search for the file extension. Enter it in *.jpg or whatever the extension is.
    • As a last resort, you can search for photos with this tool.

  • Risks of IE settings: launch programs and dangerous files - enabled for Web Sites

    Hello

    Could someone share with me knowledge about security settings in Internet Explorer?

    The parameter name is:

    Launch programs and dangerous files

    I wonder what the risks are when this setting is "Enabled" for the Internet zone.

    Our client has suffered recently with security warnings when you open a local shortcut. Targets of shortcuts even to local building Windows applications such as Wordpad. And it does not matter where the shortcut is present, whether on office files or local like c:\temp

    The security warning is of type: publication could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this software?

    The problem only started after the installation of Internet Explorer 11. Customers with the old version of IE does not suffer from this issue.

    We have confirmed two work solutions:

    1. launch programs and potentially dangerous files - enabled for the zone Internet

    2. Add the registry entry:

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Associations]

    «LowRiskFileTypes "=".avi;.» beats;. com;. cmd;. exe;. htm;. HTML;. lnk;. MPG;. MPEG;. MOV;. MP3;. MSI;. M3U;. rar;. Reg;. txt;. vbs;. WAV;. zip; »

    But we would need to know the security risks for the launch of programs and dangerous files - enabled for the Internet zone.

    Somehow, I'm not able to find a good article that describes this feature and risk.

    Or can you suggest an alternative? Could this be caused also by a patch?

    Thanks in advance

  • My office and my files are empty.

    My office and my files are empty. When I tried to replace some files, I was told that they already existed as it seems they are always there, but they are hidden and I can't get back them. No one knows what happened or what I can do to restore?

    Hello

    A handy utility to view all the files on your PC is called Commander free of charge, on the link below, because it displays the files that the operating system normally hides and has a search function.

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/PHP/download.php?id=107872&a=7122339&tag=601108&loc=10

    It is a zipped file.  If you do not have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip , which can be used to open it so that you can run the Setup program.

    When it is installed, run Commander for free and see if your missing files are now visible.  If they are, right click the folder they are in and select Properties, clear the check box of the "Hidden" box and click on apply to save the changes.  Then close free Commander and check if the folder and the files it contains are now visible in Windows.

    Kind regards

  • All My Documents, pictures, videos and music files are does not

    All My Documents, pictures, videos and music files are does not and I can't access the files and I did nothing to them but when I try and click on it, it says "music.library - ms no longer works, the library can be removed safely from your computer.» Records that have been added will not be affected. I understand that they won't be affected, but how am I supposed to recover all my files?

    Hey Kwame,

    I understand that you receive an error saying music.library - ms no longer works.

    Please answer:

    (1) did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    In the libraries folder, you will notice that the icons of the folders have changed to something else. This clearly indicates that Windows 8 libraries are no more work and corrupted.

    To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

    (a) press Windows + E to open Windows Explorer, and then click library.

    (b), select all the libraries with which you are faced with a question and select Delete.

    (c) click Yes to confirm.

    (d) after the deletion, right-click on the icon libraries in the left navigation pane and click on restore default libraries.

    (e) in the first attempt, default icons have been restored but if you are unable to access the libraries of Windows 8, delete and restore again to go back to work.

    Note: Deleting of a library does not delete the contents of the included folders. However, you need to add or include your folders manually, if necessary.

    Kind regards

  • .mp4 and .mov files are just BIG

    Sorry, without posting the details of encoding, is there an obvious reason why my .mp4 and .mov files are ~ 10 x the size they should be after the SOUL? I'm talking about 300mb.mov and 30 MB .mp4 before later files. If you need details, I'll post. Thank you.

    File size is determined mainly by only two factors - length and bitrate.  The used codec, resolution, frame rate, etc. all have little or no effect on the size of the file.

    Length and bitrate.  If you want a smaller file, one or other of the people must be reduced.

  • My program and other files on my C drive & external drives seem to be "deleted", but the virus scans show that the real files are still there...

    I use Windows Vista and the antivirus software Kerpersky internet on my Dell laptop. A virus 'seems have wiped my desktop and programs files and the directory of my document files, and index on my C drive and my external drive which was attached when you save.' .. that is the index of the two drives is empty shows that no file already exist...

    Kerpesky worked at the time, but he could not stop the attack. However, Karpersky himself was apparently not affected, and when I run that s Karpersky it scanning readings missing files on the C drive and the external drive as being there but appears to any threat of threats...

    I managed to get my office back in a configuration much earlier using a Windows roll back feature that resets the list of programs and some very old directories and older files, but I can't see the previous desktop, nor my current "desktop", or a 'my document' content etc.

    When I jump into Excel and pick up the last file used, that has been saved on my desktop, it chose upward and able to be re-registered, but if I try to view a list of files via Excel or MS Word, none are found.  Another problem is that my backup disk has got so touched.  I am concerned to recover all my files and also not to overwrite anything on my C drive in the meantime. What are the best tools to solve this problem?

    Thank you

    Peter

    Problem has been fixed.  I had a breakthrough last night when I did a bit of research to specific directories and found that files and directories 'lost' were just 'hidden '. I used the Windows tools to display all the files and directories hidden in the C drive and HARD drive and were able to view each of them to solve my problem.

    Thank you very much

  • All my programs files and personal files are missing

    All my program files are missing (menu start - click 'all programs' - and it shows 'empty'... but if I taper type in an .exe application, then right-click and run as administrator, it works.)  In addition, all of my documents and photos disappeared.  I went completely through the computer and they simply went (value years of family photos).  Winundelete tried and it did not, so I guess that they are not simply deleted.  Any help?  I'm really confused.  (for the only system restore restore point before that the problem does not help)

    Have you seen evidence that you have been infected by malicious software recently?

    In an Explorer window, click on organize, select folder and Search Options. On the view tab, select Show hidden files and folders and apply them.

    You can also use the unhide.exe program, which is located towards the end of tis section.
