• Duplicated for desktop PC & Username document folder

  Vista Home Premium - Documents folder was only under "C:\Users\Home PC" (ie. me) but is now duplicated under the desk.

  The new folder has about 20 pieces also named Documents resulting. The last of these files to a double sub has the icon as the original folder Documents (correct).

  I can't remove it because it removes all the docs, and seems to come back. I also want to remove the view of the office.

  When checking the properties of good (?) Documents folder, the properties box identifies as "C:\Users\Home PC".

  What I've read elsewhere, it seems like good place & type that this properties box has 5 tabs - General; Sharing; Security; Location; Customize.

  The first new folder location "C:\Users\Home PC\Desktop" of emissions only has 4 tabs (not ' location').

• The target of the My Documents folder redirection

  Dear users,
  I did as I found for redirecting my documents to a different location on my 'C' drive and something strange happened (Windows 7 Home Premium)
  Went to Users\YourLoginName\Documents, properties, location, travel tab and chose him a folder target "Esteban" that I had created before.
  Now the weird stuff, the folder 'Esteban' was replaced by 'my documents' in the new location and is not visible.
  Basically, what makes Windows 7 is not only point to the new folder but replace it.
  This behavior, that I didn't see in WIN XP in which the record would remain even if my documents has done for her.
  I tried to go back and redo everything. I restored the default location of the folder my documents and now I noticed that the new folder which has been
  created before 'C' is always there and now she can not be cleared to return to zero.
  I'd appreciate your feedback.

• Problems loading a file in SkyDrive: "sorry, SkyDrive can't download files. Please download the files that are contained in the folder instead.

• After upgrading from Vista created a new documents folder and now ignores the original

  Last week I updated my computer (which I believe has an update of the graphics card and some windows stuff) using Windows update and left while he was closing. I guess what he finished close, but as I was leaving for the weekend, I can't be 100% sure and this weekend my house loses power at least once.

  As for the problem, at windows startup today made first time setup that works normally when you connect to a user account for the first time. Applications of Sidebar by default loading, the default value of the user interface (that I don't use, so it was the first sign), and I found that on the opera opening, all my favorites and settings were gone.

  At the opening of my documents, I found that they were completely empty of content, including all hidden folders where all of my settings the user should be.

  Navigation around the computer, I find that this will C:\Users\USERNAME\ my documents are still intact, but are ignored, with all the shortcuts leading to my documents redirect me to the 'new' documents folder, which means that for all purposes useful all my user settings for all programs that store data in the documents have been reset.

  Maybe someone has an idea of what may have caused this?  Personally, it's one of the strangest bug I've ever seen in any version of windows, and I'm not sure how I should go to deal with it.

  Update:

  To check the path of the 'new' documents folder, it appears as C:\Users\TEMP

  This means at least all of my original documents folder has not been deleted, but I'm trying to support everything up to an external drive where vista decided to replace my old documents folder entirely.

• No iCloud drive merger or double documents folder?

  I have two computers that I had of the SugarSync, sync.  In other words, the documents folder on both computers, through SugarSync, is synchronized and identical.  If I go into system preferences > iCloud and click Options to iCloud drive and turn on the desktop and Documents folders, be it synchronize (or fusion) the dossier of documents on two computers or it will publish two documents separate (and then more and more different) folders?  Thank you, in advance!

  I use iCloud Drive to synchronize the office and the three Macs Documents folder.

  Initially, the synchronization to create a folder for the documents of every Mac as subfolders of Documents and office, named 'old Documents - computer name '. Thus, there are essentially three separate folders of documents of each computer. I have to merge them on mine, if I want to.

  In my case, that doesn't matter much, because I started syncing with almost empty Documents and office on three Macs.  Any document that I add after the initial synchronization is now synchronized with the devices.

  

  In your case, where the records are already synchronized, you could simply remove a set of Documents on one computer, before you start the synchronization.

• How can I restore my time capsule documents folder?

  I use an iMac OS X El Capitan and support up to a Time Capsule airport running.

  One of our user accounts on the iMac ran into problems w access to the apple of the user ID (could not access iCloud preferences, etc.) before doing a clean reinstall of the OS X software, so I opted to try to remove the problematic user account (another account has no problems) and then configure a new user account. It seems (the jury is still pending on that) have toured and account is running normally.

  My question now is to restore a subset of the records of the time Machine to the specific user. Is it possible and if yes, can you give me instructions on how to do?

  Thanks in advance.

  Migration wizard does not have the granularity you need. It is simply not possible to choose more great lines.

  So, you'll need to do it via the standard recovery... method that looks like you have never used.

  This is the basic method of use Time Machine, you will need to learn how do.

  TM open via icon in the dock. If this isn't in the dock it from applications.

  All you have to do is open TM...

  Go to the date when the user has always existed.

  Now in the finder as the interface.

  Go to the user that you want to restore... I suggest that you actually just take the folder of any user.

  Sorry I can't take screenshots inside the TM... so if this is not clear look at a standard youtube video, of which there are hundreds.

  It's the old version... but it is clear and well spoken.

  https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=6bcf54aRBPk

  Restore now all the folder to somewhere else... maybe not even on your hard drive, but on a USB key or a convenient place.

  Once the entire restored user to a location, you can then choose say all the documents in the documents folder and copy it directly to the new user that you created, file documents... same thing for music, even for photos etc... the actual application should always be connected libraries... which will make you within itunes or photos, etc..

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

  You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

  Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

  -Click OK.
  -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).

• Win XP: Remove the 'System' of the 'My Documents' folder attribute

  Win XP: The 'My Documents' folder contains an attribute of the system. Now, I can't save file there. How can I remove the attribute "system"?

  If you look at the security for 'My Documents' tab, you will see that the system has access to the file, but it should not have attribute on the file system.

  Access special permissions and see who is the owner of the folder. It should be yourself. If this isn't the case, you may need to take ownership of the folder to get access.

  I hope this helps.

• Owner-opening documents folder

  When I click on the owner-Document folder, the folder opens and I see the files.  The green bar goes from left to right in the upper task bar.  When it becomes very close to the right, the program loops. CTRL/ALT/DEL and ESC does not work.  Stop down and restarting is the only solution.  If I try to click on My Documents, it says that I must be an administrator, but I'm logged on as administrator.  When I create documents it saves to the Document owner very well, but I can't open the file.

  I have no recent changes to the system.  No matter how to open the file, the result is always the same.

• Uninstalled all of the Documents folder - desperately need help

  Let me give you some information on this problem.

  I started trying to install a PC game on my computer, and it was recommended that I have a place outside of C:/Program Files, because Vista has been having administrative access errors and prevent the game to patch automatically. So, I chose to install it in the Documents, because I have a few other games installed in the Documents for various reasons. Well, by typing the path of the file, I typed the following text:

  Games\Documents of C:\Users\the contact

  I forgot to also add the folder with the name of the game to the end to give all the files that would be settled in their own folder. Therefore, I checked my Documents folder when I started to try to patch the game, and the game files were sitting just individually in the Documents and not their own folder. Rather than collect all the files and make a folder for them manually, I thought, forget it, I'll just uninstall and reinstall once more then this is a quick installation, this time by adding a folder for the files in the Documents folder. (that is, C:\Users\the boyfriend games\Documents\Europa Universalis III).

  So I started to uninstall it, everything worked, not reinstalled, no problem, although I noticed when I tried to install it in the Documents there was no other... strange subfolders. It installed very well and as I started patching the game even once, I went to the Documents, and Documents My horrifying discovery, was empty except for the folder of the game I did.

  I realized it happened instantly. When I choose "Uninstall" the game again, he chose to uninstall all the contents of the folder they have been stored in... sense to uninstall all files in 'Documents,' some other games, irreplaceable images and documents from the school.

  If you have stuck with me this far, I thank you. My question can be summed up by asking, what can I do to get all the files in the Documents that uninstalled? My basket is empty, but I didn't since this discovery other type of this message. I have not the computer shuts down automatically, installed another thing I understand is crucial in data recovery. Reliable, free software is one that can recover the data for me? I'll have to dig through the Interior edges of my computer files? Please answer as soon as possible and to help me, I lost a lot of irreplaceable data and not just "delete" and "empty trash".

  Thanks a lot in advance and have a nice day.

  You've done well not to do anything else on the computer since the discovery of the problem.  Which will maximize the chances of recovering your files.

  Download and run a program like Recuva file recovery.

• Links to the Documents folder suddenly broken?

  So I had learned about my computer to play a favorite game and was astounded to see that all of my saved games disappeared suddenly! After exploring a bit I found something even more weird - the link in the start menu in the Documents folder suddenly didn't work.

  After having studied more, I realized the two were linked - the files of game themselves had not been deleted - they were stored in a folder in the My Documents folder, the computer can see somehow is more (unless I went directly to her).

  How can I get my computer to correctly bind to My Documents folder again, please?

  See if this has something to do with it...

  Right click on the Start button > properties > start menu tab > customize > Scroll to Documents...
  A blue dot should be on the screen as a link. If this is not the case, do.
