  You mean that other users do not have their own user accounts?
  They all connect to your own account?

  If they all have their own user account to log on, they can't see your personal files, unless...
  1. your files in public folders.
  2. they have your password to login to your own account.

  So, please clarify.

• Certain files and folders are not detected by Windows Explorer (XP).

  I created 15 files in a folder on a shared network drive, associated with another computer. My computer is running XP x 64 v. 2003 SP2, and the computer server (the one with the shared drive) has v.2002 XP Pro (32-bit) SP3.  When I open the folder in Windows Explorer I see only 12 folders. When I tried to rename one of the 12 visible files to match the name of one of the 3 missing files I get an error (file exists!). What is all too weird, when I select all and delete 12 deleted records and previously missing 3 appears.

  Has also had a similar problem with entire folders. The Explorer does not see the folder but when I create a shortcut by typing the path of the folder manually and click on the shortcut, the name of the file appears in Solution Explorer!

  All files and folders are visible when I connect on the 32-bit computer. There is no difference between the files/folders regarding the permissions or security settings are concerned. Other users have experienced the similar problem. I tested this on 2 other computers on the same network. On a 32-bit computer, everything works fine, but on another 64-bit computer, I get the same question of file disappears.  It seems to suggest some incompatibility between Windows XP 32-bit and 64-bit XP systems.  Any suggestions how to fix it? It's really frustruting...

  The files appear when you refresh the Explorer window by pressing F5 (or view-> Refresh)?

  If so, this article may help:

• 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.

• files and folders invisible after the attack of virus on the external HARD disk

  I have an external Seagate 500 GB HDD.
  Yesterday I plugged on my friend's laptop computer, but her laptop has been attacked. I didn't know it. so I just copied the files on my HARD drive.
  After connecting the HARD drive to my laptop, I've scanned several times, but only one file or folder is not visible in it. And I checked the properties, its display used and remaining memory on the HARD drive.
  Not what happened? I want historical data... How can I make them visible?
  Help, please...

  Hi Muralidharpattar,

  This problem normally occurs when permission for files/folders have been modified and may be hidden.

  Method 1: We will connect the hard drive and try to check if files and folders are hidden or not.

  Method 2:

  If the problem persists, I suggest you analyze the external hard drive to see if it is operated by the virus and malwares. If you have any antivirus program that is not built, you can run scanning using it. If this isn't the case, you can use the provided scanner.

  Step 1:

  Start your computer in safe mode and check the number.

  Step 2:

  Run a scan antivirus on your computer.

  Note: If infections are detected during the scan, there is a risk of data loss because infected files will be deleted.

• See 5.2 management "Files and folders excluded from the roaming" Persona of the wildcards and special characters

  We want to exclude the character of AppData\Roaming\test_*.doc or AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Flash #SharedObjects and we have added to the list of exclusions, but they keep ending upward in the repository. Other exclusions are working as expected. What we should expect?

  If wildcards work, it would also be nice to be able to exclude AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ * \minidumps

  Hi Eric,.

  Character does not currently support the use of wildcard characters in the configuration options.  For example, "AppData\Roaming\test_*.doc" and "AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ * \minidumps" will not work.  However, I myself have tested 'AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Flash #SharedObjects' with 5.2 and it works very well.  Please note that "Files and folders excluded from roaming" not delete all existing files in the remote folder.  It simply prevents the files in the remote folder to be created in the local folder during logon, and it prevents any changes in the local folder from replication to the remote folder.  This allows to turn off the setting and return the original data if you need to.

  Please let me know if you have any other questions.

  Thank you

• Can I recover files and folders moved to the Temp profile

  Hello

  A user is logged on with a temporary profile on Vista.  They have seen their name in the start menu and assumed everything was fine.

  After having seen that their office was wrong, they went check 'My Documents', and obviously they weren't there.

  The user then crossed ' computer > C: > users and found their office and documents.

  Then they moved them (not copied) on the desktop and "My Documents" to the active profile.

  Now when they have logged off and back on, their original profile has been restored but their desktop and "My Documents" have been shortened just to the Temp profile.

  Is it possible to recover data from the user? keeping in mind that there is no backup of their data.

  Any help will be appreciated.

  Thank you

• Files and folders created in the root of C: are deleted after reboot on computers with AppStacks attached.

  Users using Visual Studio had created the C:\work folder to store projects.  After the restart, whatever it is created at the root of C: had disappeared. Is this normal behavior or the result of one or more of installation contained in the C:\ root and thus managed AppStacks by AppStacks.    Is there anyway to tell that AppStack could be the cause in addition to test each individually?

  Thank you

  It's actually expected as the operating system behavior is essentially be virtualized when an AppStack is attached. All changes to the operating system are stored in a folder called SVROOT on the volume system (C :). This folder becomes "visible" when an AppStack is attached and therefore virtualization is enabled.

• 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:

• Hidden files and folders

  I have questions about the hidden files and folders. I hope someone can give me the right answer that will be only one of the four that I would ask.

  Q. hidden files or folders cannot be seen by any user?

  Q. is visible by the main user

  Q. is using by operating systems for its work

  Q. don't are not usually published directly

  The answer may be only one of these options.

  Hello

  By default, some files are hidden.  If some of these files are edited, moved, renamed, or deleted, you could damage your operating system. They are hidden for a reason.

  Q. hidden files or folders cannot be seen by any user?

  A. you can see hidden files if you wish. Here's how to display.

  1. Go to the start menu and type options records.
  2. Hit enter or click on the result.
  3. Go to the view tab.
  4. Under hidden files and folders, select display the drives, folders and hidden files.
  5. Optional: If you wish, you can uncheck Hide protected (recommended) operating system files.  I'd keep that checked if I were you.
  6. At the bottom, press apply or OK.

  Q. is visible by the main user

  A. If the user follows the instructions above, they can see it.  So the answer is no, everyone can see the hidden files and folders.

  Q. is using by operating systems for its work

  A. most of them is.  For example if you remove one of your hidden personal documents, the file is not critical for the operating system.  If you delete system32 (do not remove it!)however, Windows stops working immediately.

  Q. don't are not usually published directly

  A. the personal files (photos, documents, videos, etc.) can be changed.  Operating system files can not be changed.

  If all goes well, which erases any misunderstanding.  Please let me know if you have any other questions.

• How set permissions so I have access to all files and folders on my pc?

  I'm the only person using the computer, so I want to access all of the files and folders without changing the security setting in each case. How can I do this?

  The folder "C:\Documents and Settings\All users" is actually a symbolic link that was created when you upgraded from an earlier version of Windows (that would be a good thing to mention in the original post). You'll find its files here:

  C:\Users\Public\Desktop
