Need assistance to find files

I don't know if this is the right forum to post this, because it's the first time I've posted on the Microsoft Community forum, so I apologize in advance. If it must be moved to the right forum, please do. Thank you.

I need help is as follows. I have a network with a file Windows 2012 server with for most of the clients of Windows 8. Users in Active Directory have their home records led to a path on the server (mapped drive 'sup' in the AD view of the user profile tab) and then their 'Documents' folder is redirected to the shared folder on the server (so their 'Documents' folder is in the same place as the drive mapped to "Sup"). In the past, the file servers have been replaced by the names of different server, so the home folder needs to be reconfigured to the new server path (in the AD user profile). Unfortunately, some users had not been reconfigured in AD and was still the now non-existent server path towards their local Documents"" folder. They could however, always open 'Documents' and edit and create new folders and files via a cache any. My question is where is the location of these cached files? What happens when the error is discovered and the path in their AD profile is redirected to the new correct server path, they lose all of their documents that were created and located in the local cached or the former location of server (of course, the user is not connected to the old server, just local computer stores the files somewhere waiting for a synchronization with the now non-existent server). They simply disappear. Where are these files that that are on the local computer (Windows 8) and they are recoverable?

I would like to point you to where you can get the best possible response to the server.  TechNet is the place

This issue is beyond the scope of this site and must be placed on Technet or MSDN

    I need to delete my aol files to a flash drive for storage. I tried to find the path on my pc but cannot locate. I need to know if it is possible? Also, I need to know if I'll be able to open the mails from the flash drive after I download, it is possible to download the flash player.

    You will not be able to move your emails of aol.com to your USB key (they are on a website, not your computer) If you are using AOL desktop, you may, but you will probably not be able to open them. In any case, it is a site of firefox support, not AOL, I would contact them.

  • I need help to find the correct version of the BIOS.

    As the title says I need assistance to find the correct version of the BIOS and now I have P02 - A2: 2011-10-31 and an Acer G3610 predator.

    I need an update is because I bought a new CPU and when I start the computer, it starts only for like 2 sec then turns off then on again one then it emits a beep of 3 or 4 times, then he is leaving and on but never goes Windows just a black screen so my guess is that I have an older version of the bios that does not recognize the CPU.

    Nope.

    I think they changed the revision of the motherboard, so you can't Flash this BIOS on your system.

    That's why you have a size mismatch error.

    So, you can not upgrade to Ivy bridge, sorry.

  • Cannot find files on clone super duper, I can restore from Time Machine backup?

    First of all, my apologies for cross posting.

    I hope I can explain my situation with enough clarity so that someone can help out me. I feel a little bit of panic.

    I've had a Mac mini that I sold so need to wipe. I first backed up using Time Machine on an external hard drive. Then, I used Super Duper to clone on a second hard drive. I didn't need a bootable copy of the training, but need access to data, applications, etc. on it from time to time. My intension was to access the data I cloned and stored on the hard drive of my current Macbook Pro. Well, that day came and I went to access my cloned copy of the mini and only see a list of users. I'm not able to find files, documents, and etc.even if I use spotlight to search for. So my questions are:

    1. Can I view the contents of the double machine differently to see more than a list of users? (that is WHERE IS MY THING?)
      1. I have error somehow in my approach?
      2. If I made the mistake with the super duper close, can I restore my time machine to the top of an external drive on another external drive? I want to restore my MacBook hard drive.

    Thank you!!

    I was running just an another SuperDuper! Clone.

  • I need to locate the file one by one?

    Normally, I put the iTunes media files on my external drive. But recently, it connects more.

    When I try to recreate a link to it, all the music in my iTunes shows "!" and cannot be read. I need to locate the file one by one to make them available again?

    There are more than 2,000 + music in my playlist. Are there other ways to locate the whole folder at the same time?

    Thank you very much

    It should connect if he did in the past. is it possible that you renamed the drive or folder in the path to the iTunes media.  This, ny the way, is one of the reasons why we suggest to keep a whole library on an external media player only.

    If you find an iTunes file should offer to find others as long have you let iTunes organize media in the past.  If this does not work then probably something got renamed on the disc.

  • I need to change a file type of processing to PDF, doc, html txtor. the site that I am trying to download a file he needs in one of these formats

    I need to change a file type of processing to doc, pdf, txt or html. the site that I am trying to download a file needs in one of these formats. THX

    A complete answer would require that we know what "word processing" you use.  However, one of the types of files that are acceptable as 'pdf', you can install 3rd party freeware "CutePDF Writer" on your computer:

    CutePDF: <> http://www.cutepdf.com/products/cutepdf/writer.asp >

    Note that you need to install CutePDF and Ghostscript (both on the site) on your machine.  After you do, you will find that you have another printer on your computer named "CutePDF Writer".  Print the file of word processing for this virtual printer.  When you do so, it ask for a place to store your PDF file.  Give it a name and location, and it will create a PDF file for you.   Excellent Freeware (among my top 10) and works with any application you can print from.  Especially good for saving recipes online so that you don't waste any ink/paper.

  • Help! I need to transfer my files from one user to another on your own computer. How can I do this?

    Please be very descriptive.  need help now

    Hello rokr676,

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft answers Community Forum.

    One of the easiest ways to transfer files is to use Windows easy transfer.

    Windows Easy Transfer is installed with Vista and is found under Accessories - tools system or by searching for "easy" (with the quotes).

    You can transfer files and settings using a network share, or transfer files and settings using removable media such as CD/DVD or external hard drive. Windows Easy Transfer does not migrate installed applications.

    Using Windows Easy Transfer, you can migrate most of the files and the program settings. The following table describes the types of data and parameters that can be moved.

    Data type
    Specifications

    Files and folders We can choose to be automatically moved all the files found in the folder My Documents, my pictures and Shared Documents. You can also add other documents located in other places. The messages and settings E-mail messages, contacts, settings, account and address books from Outlook Express, Outlook, Windows Mail and other programs. The program settings Programs that are compatible with Vista will have their settings transferred to the new computer. So that this works, the program must already be installed on the computer running Vista. User settings Desktop settings, color, screen savers, fonts settings, options Windows, printers, etc. Settings Internet Favorites, cookies, and Internet Explorer settings. Photos, videos and music The music files, playlists and album. Images (gif, jpg, bmp files) and personal videos.
    Manually transfer:
    Open a session with the new user account that you may have created. To ensure that this new user account has administrator privileges.

    Open Explorer > organize > folder and Search Options > view tab > check show the hidden files and folders > OK to save the settings.

    Now navigate to your C:\Users\(Old Username folder) and copy all the files and folders in the folder C:\Users\(Old Username) in the C:\Users\(New Username folder).

    If please reply back and let us know if this helped with your question or if you need assistance.

  • Why not Win 7 search easily or reliably find files from subfolder and file specified?

    I've been using Windows for a while now, since version 2.x. I am currently using Windows 7 64 bit. I need to find a file. Not exactly rocket science. Let's say it's fichier.ext. I know that one or more copies of filename.ext reside inside or under C:\folder\subfolder1.

    So I open C:\folder\subfolder1 in Windows File Explorer. I press {COMMAND} + {e} for the search box and type filename.ext, then {ENTER}. The search returns 99 items. Unfortunately, 98 of them are not named fichier.ext. It sucks, but whatever. 98 results for the most part irrelevant are sorted by ascending file name. UH... I know by running DIR/s that there are actually 7 files named filename.ext residing in these subfolders. But Windows 7 search gave only 1 of them. The resolution of the problems of research said that everything was fine. All seem to have file system permissions. So here I am with 1 relevant result and literally 98 irrelevant results. It sucks. The files are not hidden. ATTRIB shows that they hear only the flags of A (rchive). I can find no reason why search gave no relevant results 98, yet returned only 1 of 7 planned relevant results. No, I'm starting to do this just to write a rant on the search for Win 7. I wanted just to finish a task, which would have been relatively easy in all previous versions of Windows, I used.

    Given that the search for C:\folder\subfolder1 does not work, I try searching for C:\. Guess what. 43 items returned, and only 34 of the results are irrelevant. From C:\, search found 7 all the relevant files. It's a Festivus miracle! But how a top-level folder got no less relevant results, but most relevant results doesn't make much sense.

    16% of the relevant results are grouped because they are sorted by filename ascending. Now, the company, right? I want the full path and the name of each of the 7 compliant files that I know exist. Who do not ask too, right? Except that there is no way to copy the text in the column of the file. And the text in the folder column is absurd anyway. The folder column shows "subfolder5 (C:\Folder\Subfolder1\Subfolder2\Subfolder3\Subfolder4). Why on Earth is subfolder5 on the left? And there is no place I can copy the path. OK, no problem, I'll just do a right click and open the file location. In fact I use {SHIFT} + {F10}, {i} instead of Right-Click, but it's because I have old habits when there was usually effective ways of doing things in Windows using the keyboard.

    Thus, opens the folder containing my first relevant result. {ALT} + {d} which brings me to the address bar, where I already have the full path. Now I just type "\" and the first characters of the file name and it completes automatically. {COMMAND} + {a}, {COMMAND} + {c} and it is all copied to the Clipboard. Yay, I got my first string path\filename successfully, so I can really accomplish something. I launch an instance of Notepad and paste it in for later use. Now back to my remaining 6 to search relevant results... Hmmm... {ALT} + {left} does nothing. Focus changes often without apparent reason in Win 7 files and the Search Explorer, which prevents the work strikes. So I move the mouse and click the left arrow to go back to my 6 other relevant results. That's when I find that search threw all the results. I have to wait while it does search through each file under C:\. Ugh.

    In an effort to avoid having to search several times C:\ 5 times more unnecessarily for fichier.ext, I'm thinking maybe I can click the button start and try to type here, let semi-automatic paths as I type the content of the column of the file. It does not, because the start menu obscures my 7 relevant results. I later I knew that even if they are hidden, I could select the relevant 7 of 99 total results and the selection color stick while the start menu hidden items in the name column. But in the end, the fastest way to get the 7 paths was actually copy via the mode prompt QuickEdit on DIR /S FILENAME command. Results of the EXT. I mean, really?

    Windows search cannot locate surely known names of files in a subfolder that is known? Win7 search not only gave me 98 irrelevant results, but also failed to find 6 of the 7 specified files. How screwed is that? But DIR/s gave me no irrelevant results at all and find files with 100% reliability. Does this strike anyone as being a little... uh... bad?

    Find names of files specified in a specified subfolder does not appear as a rare user scenario. Simply how to find a record of a known file in a known subfolder name seems ridiculously too complicated in Windows 7.

    Now, there is a _ a lot of good things on Win 7. My favorite features are probably support for multiple processors, accident of insulation, and the incredible improvements in design and material compatibility layer makes this Win 3.x prey. But please, I seriously hope that someone will take a look at some of the pieces of this real scenario common and try to improve things in a future service pack or something? Pretty please?

    Noel, thanks for the great suggestion! I * never * would have discovered the ' file name: ' filter with the help of Windows.

    I had no idea that there was a search syntax. It seems totally weird to me that the add a drop-down list box filter search doesn't give IU for update and size filters. I think that corresponding filename deserves its own button there and something to direct users to this overview of query language syntax.

    It's really great to know adding "leader:" to restrict the results to only compliant file names. I am completely floored that it is completely impossible. I would * NEVER * have discovered that the link of query syntax. There is no link between the search Help topics. Windows Search 4.0 is somewhat a component name internally. As an end-user of Windows 7, I consider that the search for files to be an integral part of the operating system. I would have never thought to search for help on "Windows Search 4.0". FYI - I just went to the research, a help file topic or a folder and a suggestion to make a link to the news of search query to win 4 left.

    I fiddled with the columns, remove the folder column and replacing it with the much more logical folder path column. I was happy to find that the next time I opened a search for C:\, the path of the folder column persisted.

    When I search libraries, I have the search box offers some filters, like, Date of modification, Type, name, path, Tags. This never was told to the "queue:" filter that I needed. The "name:" filter only appears when searching for my libraries, do not then the research to another part of my drive. Research on "name:filename.ext" returns all files where {(extention == «ext») & (filename contains "filename")}, for example, returns 'fu_filename.ext', 'filename_bar.ext', 'fu_filename_bar.ext', etc.

    In the results, the context menu doesn't give me a copy as path option. The closest I can find is going to file properties, I can manually copy the contents of the location.

    Rest of questions that I hope THAT MSFT would consider to improve:

    1. "file name:" filter is totally impossible, causing in search of filename otherwise quick to take minimum two times longer, useless due to analysis of the content of the file.

    2. DIR /S C:\FILENAME. EXT runs twice faster than Win with essential Search but impossible ' file name: ' filter, often up to 8 times faster than without the discoverable ' filename: ' filter.

    3. DIR /S C:\FILENAME. POST do not clutter results with files whose content contains the string.

    4. DIR /S C:\FILENAME. Reliable EXT returns all the relevant results.

    5. I can copy each path of results returned by DIR /S C:\FILENAME. POST in a single step (with QuickEdit active guest).

    It's not too terribly demanding to expect a file search v7 o/s to at least on par with the performance and ease of use of a query of type MS-MS-DOS age 30 is?

  • find files in windows "local files".

    Hello. My Web site contains a number of folders and each time I need to change an existing, I sit and scroll up and down in the "local files" window

    Is it an easier way of find files? eg. the capacity of write some characters of a file et files are not eligible do not appear?

    for example.

    First of all, if my web site contained a lot of files that it is difficult to find, I would go on a site database. In this way you sick need just the minimum number of files for your web site.

    Second, if the site is not database, I'll put files in folders, i.e. a folder for each of the items of the main menu.
