New Microsoft Data Link.UDL just appeared on my desk. What is it? Can I delete it?

After having searched for information on the web, an icon appeared on my desktop namved new Microsoft Data Link.UDL.

What is it?

Is this a form of 'spy '?

Can I delete it?

There is a link used by an ActiveX data object that is used to access a database.  It was probably put there so that you can access a database on a web server.  Just delete it and make sure to run an in-depth analysis of the AV/anti-malware on your machine.

  • Can I delete the folder titled "Old data from Firefox" which appeared on my desk?

    About the old folder of Firefox that strangely appeared on my desk - then - I delete it? I like a clean house. Didn't read where someone asked this question and got an answer. He has been there since March 10, according to the properties button. I just noticed it. But I don't want to delete something where I can lose the extensions or something else. If it is just a backup, can't just get rid of him. I don't know what to do with it anyway.

    If you have not noticed any missing data after reset of your, you can delete this folder, but I think that it would be better to archive somewhere where it doesn't bother you. Perhaps to create a balance of things folder you will empty on new year if you don't need then.

  • I just upgraded from Lightroom 5 to 6. Can I delete 5 and keep my fotos?

    I have now two versions on my PC.

    Hi janhem,

    Greetings.

    Yes you can, but only if you decided to not use LR 5.

    I personally suggest you to keep 5 LR for a few more days until you familiarize yourself with LR 6 and once you have your hands on practice with LR 6 get rid of LR 5

  • Photoshop "scratch disks" appear when photoshop is open, and I can't delete them?

    I've been struggling with this for about an hour now. I walked into photoshop this morning and he said my "scratch disks" was full, so obviously, I started to search the hard disk for them.

    I can not the freakin ' find.

    The only time I was able to locate one is when photoshop itself was open and I was unable to remove it. I guess that's because it's the one attributed to the program that is open. My problem is that, although he is not able to find temporary files to remove, still failed to open all the files in photoshop because it is always telling me that the disks are full. I would really like to know what to do. I have searched the 1 million different ways on my PC, used all the methods I've met. I can't find the. Aren't there? I never deleted them in the year or so that I've had this computer. They need to be taking up a ton of space on my C: drive, but I can't seem to them! Help!

    I just upgraded to a pace 5268AC router and can connect is more to my Airport base station. The base station does not appear in Airport utility. Any suggestions?

    Whenever you change the modem or modem/router to which the airport links... or... change your Internet connection process, the airport must be reset to the default settings and then set it up again to work with the new device.

    Your message did not mention if you did that, but if not... to perform a Hard Reset on the router of the airport would be the first thing to do, to follow in setting up the airport once again, just as you would if the airport was new and connection to your modem/router for the first time.

  • New icon named "Office" suddenly appeared on my desk after update 13 Aug

    Right now (August 13, 2014) after monthly automatic refresh of today, a new icon called simply 'Office' appeared on my desk. It wasn't a link to something else, but a text file that I hesitate to remove from the hand. The content of the file was/is:

    [. ShellClassInfo]
    LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21769
    IconResource=%SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll,-183

    That is - what, why do I have it cluttering up my desktop? What happens if I delete just the thing?

    Thank you.

    Desktop.ini is one of these files which stores the information of software. I have
    believe the content of this file go to the place where, if the desktop folder
    It appears in a window of the Explorer, it would have the desktop icon. (I
    do not mean a shortcut, I want to say the icon of Windows 7, which represents the
    desktop computer.)
     
    This file, marked as 'hidden' and 'system', is considered in several files
    and is used to store settings file, like the one I described above. He has been
    designed to be used with Windows Explorer, then you probably would not see
    too often than other technical users.
     
    Your office is managed by Windows Explorer. It is clear from the Windows Explorer
    parameters and above your file management application settings are
    independent, why you were probably confused about the part .ini.
     
    I think an update done probably a kind of maintenance that
    noticed something was a little off (in this case, the 'missing'
    Desktop.ini file) and thought he was doing the right thing by putting
    it there, as I saw these files desktop.ini apparently randomly reappear
    from time to time (at least at times, when I had the hidden system files + showing).
    However, as I said above, I too ask how it happened all of a sudden there.

  • How to reference the Javascript data link data?

    Hello

    I have a specific question-

    I have a PDF template I design in Livecycle Designer ES2. Data binding is the XML schema. For one of the fields, I need to link data with formatting.

    For example: if my XML (based on the schema) is as follows

    .

    .

    .

    < name xml:element = "EffectiveDT" value = "29/01/2011" / >

    < name xml:element = "ExpirationDT" value = "29/01/2012" / >

    .

    .

    I want to connect a tabled text named "term" on the model of PDF to be set as < EffectiveDT > - < ExpirationDT >

    I couldn't understand how to bind it in the binding for the text field tab, so I thought that maybe I can have a JavaScript code that can make me to be concatenated to the TextField and I can let the empty link.

    Is this possible? What would be a good solution for these use cases? If we can go way of JavaScript, could someone please share a snippet on how to access the element of JavaScript data binding?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    Is the expression field will be used as a label, or the authorized user to update?  If it's just a label so that you can use a text object with two floating fields related to dates.

    If you do not want to use a TextField object, you can use JavaScript as follows, where initialization;

    this.rawValue = parent.dataNode.resolveNode("element[0].value").value + "-" + parent.dataNode.resolveNode("element[1].value").value;

    This code assumes that your xml file looks like.

    And that the the TextField object has a parent subform, which is bound to the element xml:term (so the parent.dataNode resolves to xml:term).

    Also, I found also that it can cause problems using element and attribute names that are in conflict with the names of the XFA objects.  Normally, I would have written the resolveNode argument used above something like;

    parent.dataNode.resolveNode ("element. ("(name) == 'EffectiveDt'] .value ') .value

    But because the object XFA representing the element also has a name property I never found a way to refer to the attribute called xml name in JavaScript.

    So the tricky part will be if they can update the values and you can then update your xml file the fields manually, not which in fact updated it is hard, it's going to be analysis of the new value that will be difficult.

    Hope this helps,

    Bruce
