Open the file by using wildcard characters

• When I download something on the Web, the "Downloads" window opens, but that the window remains empty. Before it used to show at least the name of the file and I was able to open the file in the "Downloads" window Is it possible to recover this feature?

  I am running Windows XP that is updated to the latest version (which I think could be Service Pack 3, but not positive.) Mozilla Firefox is version 5.0. I tend to use Google as my search engine, so most of the stuff I download comes through sites found through Google, which is also updated.

  At some point in the past (there are maybe a few versions) when I want to download a file from the Internet, the "downloads" window opens and in the window would display the name of the file I got was download or came from download. I think I used to be able to then click on the file name and opens the file (or the Setup file if necessary to launch the new program). I am currently using Firefox 5.0 (screen "On Firefox" said that it is up to date) and when I download a file or document, the "Downloads" window appears on the screen as it has always in the past, but it remains empty, that is, nothing is displayed in the download area. I don't remember to make configuration changes, etc., that may have caused the window to remain a Virgin, but I could be wrong. I know how to find the items I downloaded (My Documents / downloads) and can generally guess what might be the name of the downloaded file, but it was much easier when something (anything) appeared in the downloads window.

  I'd like someone to tell me about a simple solution for this. I'm ready to be pretty embarrassed that I did something I should not have.

  In the Firefox Options / confidentiality be sure 'Remember download history"is checked. To see all the options on this Panel, "Firefox will be" must be set to "use the custom settings for history".

• Cannot open the document because the file is locked. Use the 'Properties' command in Windows Explorer to open the file.

  I am a member of the Administrators group on my computer.  I have a folder full of files and other folders that I denied access for administrator users.  Not sure when it appeared that I had gone for the holidays, but now I am unable to open the files located in this folder.  I can delete, move, and rename at will, but can not open.  I tried all the resets of permissions I can think as well as read all knowledge base articles I can find but still not get these files to open.

  I've recently updated MS Security Essentials, do not know if this has a any correlation.

  At one point, I saw the certificate and it ranked as not approved.  How would this change?  Would this impact my ability to open files yet again let me move, delete and rename?  If so, how can I solve?

  I restore to a restore point previous and not yet open - also received an error message telling me MS Security Essentials would not work properly.  So I undid the restore.

  Thank you in advance for any input.  PatrixUSA

  In fact, it starts to make a lot of sense today.  The files that you have problems with have been encrypted with EFS.  EFS is closely related to the NTFS file system.  As long as you move files encrypted in the same Volume, it is not a problem, because a move is an operation of directory and the directories themselves are not encrypted (only the files that are there).  Whenever you move an encrypted volume to another file, the file must be decrypted, transferred to the other volume, then re-encrypted to destination.  Thus, the destination volume must be a NTFS file system to keep encrypted files.  If the destination is not a NTFS volume, then the copy would result in a file that is not encrypted at the destination and you will be prompted as to whether or not to allow the operation.  In all cases, a copy of volume-volume requires decryption of the file and any operation that requires a decryption error of access for you - more your inability to open a file normally indicates that you no longer control the certificate to decrypt the file.

  Backups are another matter.  If you are using Microsoft Backup utility (NTbackup), so he recognizes the encrypted file attribute and it backs up as - is without decoding.  Other 3rd third-party backup programs may not recognize the encrypted files and simply read and write to the backup media.  When this happens, the files are automatically decrypted to read (assuming the user certificates requires archiving) and writings of backup to a file unencrypted.  This would explain why you can retrieve an archive and it is not encrypted.  DVD and optical bands do not use NTFS, so a decryption of the original file is required to save in these environments.

  The private part of your (needed for decryption of files) EFS encryption certificate itself is stored encrypted on your computer.  To decrypt, Windows uses your SecureID, password, and other things of which I'm unaware.  If your password is not reset in the normal way (i.e. by entering your current password and your new password) such as an administrator, then your certificate is not re-encrypted to your new password and your access lose him and with him, access to your EFS files.  Other forms of corruption can cause you to lose your certificate, but it seems that at some point you have lost access to your certificate and therefore cannot access files that have been encrypted under this certificate.

  New files that you write in a directory that has been activated with EFS will notice that you have a valid certificate and then automatically generate a new certificate that will be used to encrypt files from right now.  That's why the new files that you add to this directory appear to work well.  The only real mystery what I can't explain is the reason why a system restore to a time where it wasn't a problem does not allow you to restore access.

  If you want some heavy reading, try this:

  "Encrypting file system in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003"
    <>http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457065.aspx >

  Personally, I'm not fan of the EFS because of problems like this.  I prefer the freewareTruecrypt which is just as safe, but I myself manage keys (in the form of password) instead of Windows.  Also, it hides the names of files and can be used safely on a connection in network and backup from windows volume is encrypted little matter how they are done.  I have not lost all data encrypted in more than a decade.

• Shortcuts to programs, EXE files does not open (you will be asked which program I want to use to open the file)

  My system has developed a strange (and annoying) issue that no longer allows me to double click on the shortcuts of programs or EXE files.  When I do, I give myself a menu asks me what program I want to use to open the file, as if I was trying to open a file with an extension that is not associated with.

  The only way to get all the programs to run more is to right click on the shortcut and select "Run as Administrator".

  Right click on the shortcut also reveals a new 'momentum' (Yes, spelled with one S tiny) option in the menu.  I have not tried it works, in my view, it could be related to some false recently-removed security software that appeared out of nowhere last night.

  Any help to remedy this situation and get back to normal functionality would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

  If program shortcuts are not no longer works, you will need to use a procedure special difficulty fo files .lnk (similar to the one used above with .exe files).

  Go to http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/22/reset-and-fix-broken-windows-vista-file-ext-and-type-associations-include-exe-com-sys-zip-lnk-folder-drive/ and select the .lnk and run it.  That should fix your shortcuts.  Or you can use the link provided above by Michael Murphy - it does essentially the same thing.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• How to use wildcard characters in the filter REMAINS for subscription items

  I've followed this documentation:

  String columns filters

  Support the % operator (started by).

  Support * operator (contains).

  Can't stand (trimmed) operator.

  Examples:

  Name = service *.

  Name = * g *.

  Name = * g - unauthorized

  URL OF THE REST:

  http:// /RequestCenter/nsapi/serviceitems/serviceitemsubscription /=

  I can get the filters to work without wildcards, but have had no success in using ' *' or '%' characters  Please provide an example encoded URL appropriate for

  ServiceItemTypeName starting with "virtual".  I was not able to get all the data returned when using wildcard characters in a filter.

  Here is what I tried:

  ServiceItemTypeName = instant virtual server

  http://10.8.0.46:8080/RequestCenter/NSAPI/serviceitems/serviceitemsubscription/ServiceItemTypeName=virtual%20Server%20Snapshot

  answer: 200

  literal works as expected

  ServiceItemTypeName = virtual %

  http://10.8.0.46:8080/RequestCenter/NSAPI/serviceitems/serviceitemsubscription/ServiceItemTypeName=virtual%25

  Request-Type = application/xml

  answer: 200

  expected result not returned

  ServiceItemTypeName = virtual *.

  http://10.8.0.46:8080 / RequestCenter/nsapi/serviceitems/serviceitemsubscription/ServiceItemTypeName virtual = *.

  Request-Type = application/xml

  Hi Dan,.

  I don't think you can use wildcards here.

  Please see the integration Guide to 9.4. Section: "REST API-> Quick Reference.

  You will find a table of what features are supported for resources exposed by the API. There you will find a line for "All Service elements", and you will see that: get all the, sorting, paging and all filters are supported; Search for names of wildcards are not...

  When I came across this situation, I guess I'm trying to do a generic name search here... and it is not supported. This, however, works for the other columns (Designer if created), which is what, in my view, that documentation is trying to describe. (Although, personally, I feel that it is a bug).

  Deleted file recovery can recover incomplete files, i.e. the part of these files may be missing.  Recover deleted files is much more reliable if recovery of a backup, instead of using recovery software.

  These things depend on the operating system and the file system.
