names of files and folders have been changed

I now have many files and folders with the same name I have not changed. Running XP Home Edition and Norton 360. can I cancel this change to the original file names?

You might have to right-click and choose Rename one at a time.

Moreover, this forum is for Windows 7, XP.  See http://answers.microsoft.com for Windows XP forums.

    All my files and pictures have been deleted and all my settings for my computer after the update of windows. I need some answers! Microsoft you need to find something to say to me. WTF! Your update has ruined my computer

    Shawn,

    I think this isn't the Windows update that caused this problem. It could be something else the cause. Windows Update never removes any of your files and folders stored in the computer.

    You can try a system restore to a previous point when the computer was working properly.

  • Change the name of files and folders in data warehouses

    Is it safe while a virtual machine is running to change the name of the VMDK files and folders in a data store?

    I discovered that a VMS VMDK files have a different name for the virtual machine itself, then someone changed the name of the virtual machine after you have created the records

    I had to do it a few times, will try to document the process that I follow.  If you have many warehouses of data, then make a note of what data store, the machine is in.  The next step is to unregister the virtual machine from vCenter / ESXi

    Then, you need to enable SSH on your ESXi host

    Use Putty or something similar for you connect to the ESXi host

    Run the following commands (in italics)

    cd vmfs/volumes / that is, if the data store that contains the virtual computer is named datastore1 then you would run cd/vmfs/volumes/datastore1

    Then run ls to verify that the virtual machine file is here

    Rename the folder by using mv

    Change to the folder with cd

    Rename the nvram, vmsd, vmx and running again is to say the mv

    MV 1234.hlog - oldname newname - 1234.hlog

    Rename the vmdk with vmkfstools EI oldname.vmdk newname.vmdk

    Edit the vmx with vi newname.vmx

  • Is it possible to change the font color in the names of files and folders?

    There are a few directories in my C:\Windows\system32, blue font color.

    In general, blue file/folder names mean that the files or folders are compressed by Windows to save disk space.

    Before I upgraded to Windows 7, I had a wonderful program on my XP machine called Xentient labels, which have changed the windows explore interface so I could have any icon file or folder on any drive highlighted in any color I want, as with Macintosh.  As a blind person it is very important to me and helps me organize and find things faster.

  • In Windows 7, signed as an administrator but get access denied to certain files and folders

    I just started my new computer, set up my user profile and installed Quicken. He would not open the Ouicken backup file I had brought my old computer so I started looking for a solution and found that a number of files and folders have been marked read-only. Then, I started to change the file attributes to allow free access everywhere where I found them marked read-only. In some cases, there was an error message saying that the file could not be changed, so I ignored these files. In fact, my question is, why am I like the only user of this computer, being denied access to any file or folder? I gave myself (duh) administrator-level privileges, but Windows 7 does not recognize me as an administrator. Is there something that I missed when you set up Windows for the first time? Just a mess by changing the file attributes? Thank you.

    In fact, my question is, why am I like the only user of this computer, being denied access to any file or folder? attributes? Thank you.

    There are at least two issues here. First, Windows 7 uses a structure of different folders for pre-Vista versions and while there are files and folders whose names are the same as those used in XP, they are NOT records in the true sense of the word - they are JUNCTION points to which any user has not access - there is no point. Documents and Settings is one of these junction points - this is to allow existing applications that use the old pre to win 7 folder structure to run in Windows 7. See here for more information about junction points:

    http://www.Svrops.com/Svrops/articles/jpoints.htm

    Secondly, I think you will see that the records that you have thought we have read-are not only in fact. A folder with the read-only BLUE box is NOT dead, and it's the standard attribute for folders in Windows 7. A read-only file or folder has a CHECKMARK in the read-only box, not a blued outlet box.

  • File names have been changed to the GUID

    Yesterday, three different actions on our servers had their folder names, replaced by what looks like GUID / their subfolders are unchanged and the files are in tact. Only root in sharing folders have been changed. Windows Server 2008.

    Other than manually, how can I get back them?

    Hi John,.

    It is usually the cause of these cryptographic records when there is an update. But nothing to worry because they do not affect the actual content of your files.

    We suggest that you try to rename them manually.

  • Change the properties of files and folders

    I recently changed the computer name and administrator, but I can't delete properties of former directors, i.e. name of files and folders. How can I do this?

    Where in poperties are you talking about?  Here is the list of authorized users - security and if you are looged Admin everything you need to do is click on edit and select another administrator, and then click on delete and it's done.  I don't think that this deletion process can be done throughout the world - and if is not necessary as this other account administrator is no longer eistss or has been disabled.  You should already be added to the Administrators group so that your username does not need to be added for access.

    If this isn't security, where are you talking about?  What are the 'properties' belong to the former administrator.  I don't understand.  Could you please further explain and tell me exactly how to get to the screen you are talking about?  In addition, please explain what you are tyring to accomplish by doing this - what is the problem with the other 'properties' of the administrator that you need to remove the name and I guess only to insert your new name?

  • My files and folders was hidden, but the capacity is still got it!

    Hello members! I had a very big problem.

    When my friend has borrowed my USB Flash drive to use and inserted, he saw my files and folders has been detected and changed everything in folders and shortcuts files. I was surprised and security he took.

    I returned home, I turned on my netbook and I inserted just now used, I cleaned only had viruses, worms and Trojan horses with the help of 360 Antivirus (Chinese version). After that, when I open my USB Flash drive, it is EMPTY! I was very sad and I saw he still have in the capacity bar! I think it was hidden all of my files and folders, but I activated the hidden files and folders to see and always empty! How do I do?

    Pls help me! I really want to solve this problem!

    I tried to unchecked "Hide protected operating system files (recommended)" and it works! I saw all this including my files and folders. Thanks riri! : D

    And I got a question too. If my files and folders are doubly hidden, how do I remove it to normal as disable 'Hidden' in the properties of files and folders? I have seen that the 'hidden' was unable to check/uncheck in the properties.

    Open a prompt (cmd.exe) window

    Assuming F:\ is the USB flash drive, use this command:

    ATTRIB S H R F:\*.*

    Press {ENTER}

    This will remove the SYSTEM, HIDDEN AND READONLY attribute affects all files in the root directory of the USB stick.

  • I changed user names, but the files and folders show again old name

    I got my sisters computer and changed the name of user (jb-administrater) account, but when most of the programs have access to my files and folders that they are still called jenifer documents, how can I change this?

    Hello

    ·         Where have you changed the name of profile?

    This is normal in windows, and unfortunately, we would not be able to change.

    When you rename a user you just change the user account, not the files and folders associated with the user. Let's say you have USERA. USERA has also a C:\USERS\USERA folder that is associated with the user account. When you rename the user account to USERB, USERB has an C:\USERS\USERA folder that is associated with USERB

    Step 1: I suggest that you create a new user account and check to see if it helps:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/create-a-user-account

    Step 2: Copy the data to the new user account by following the link below:

  • Cannot change show Hidden files and folders option, continues to come back to hidden

    Original title: activate the hidden files and folders. -Registry problem! Windows 7

    I had a meeting with a virus, which had a game with my registry so that I cannot view hidden files and folders. Whenever I click on "View files and folders hodden" and then click on folder options, it is by default to "do not show hidden folders and files". I've been browsing around, find people who give advice and I have seen some changes, but it STILL keep diverting back to do not show.

    I am running Windows 7 Profesional x 64

    There are a few default values and checked in 2 subfolders in the shadow folder.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden

    Any help from people who know a little more about the registry that I do, would be greatly apprechiated.

    Thank you.

    Nick.

    P.S. is there a tool to repair/reinstall just a specific part of the registry? aka. Replace the folder hidden by default?

    c. click the SHOWALL folder in the left pane and check if the CheckedValue element is present in the right pane and if the value set on this is 1.
    d. If CheckedValue element is missing in the right pane, and then right-click in the empty area in the right pane, click New-> click on the DWORD (32 bit) If your computer is running 32-bit Windows, 64-bit by clicking another value.
    e. name the item that you created as CheckedValue.
    f. double-click CheckedValue element and type 1 in the value data box, and then click ok.
    g. close the registry editor and restart the computer.
    h. turn on hidden files and folders to see if it works.

    a. visit the Scan of viruses online
    b. click full service scan and complete the scan.
    c. restart the computer once the analysis is complete.
