Overloaded in pictures: how to handle shortcuts?

In windows XP, I'm managing a very large number of photos in the shared pictures. I inadvertently duplicated a number of images which are now saying 'shortcut '. Others say "copy". I'm that shortcuts are useless without the original image, which I fear I've lost. Any suggestions on a. recover the original image, or b. How to avoid these problems in the future. My goal is to be able to download and view the pictures without the delays that I have now. Thank you!

================================
If left clicking the shortcut opens the original photo...
You can right click on the shortcut and go to... Properties /.
Shortcut tab / target field and see the path to the picture.

If to the left by clicking on a shortcut does not open the photo...
the original has been deleted or moved.
If the originals have been moved... it's anybody's guess
where are they now... maybe a search for .jpg
some of them would be.

In Win XP context menu that appears when you
right click on a file... Create a shortcut / delete and
Rename... are in the same section. I would suspect
the shortcuts have been created accidentally
When the intention to delete or rename a file. In any case...
You can delete the shortcuts if you no more
wish.

Copies appear generally when multiple selection
and the selected group is dragged before releasing
the mouse button. A search for Copy Of should find
all unwanted copies.

Just as an experiment, try the following steps:

Here's how to reproduce the unwanted
copy of...

Hold down your CTRL key and select multiple files...

Place your pointer over the selected group
(holding the key ctrl) and left click / drag
the group even just the slightest bit... now
release the mouse button.

  • How to handle the onTriggered many ActionItem created dynamically

    Hi, I created the ActionItem dynamically using (loop)

    because data is from webservice

    How to handle the onTrigerred?

    If my code is like this:

    for (int i = 0; i)< alist.count();="">

    {

    My page page * = iRoot-->findChild ("SpecificObject");
    ActionItem * action = ActionItem::create () .title (aList [i] .name);

    bool res = QObject::connect (action, SIGNAL (triggered ()), this, SLOT (handleAction (())); what I'm confused because I don't know what action is triggered
    Q_ASSERT (res);
    Q_UNUSED (res);

    my page-> addAction (action, ActionBarPlacement:efault);

    }

    MyClass::handleAction() Sub

    {

    aFunction(); This parameter of function required of aList, said user.user aList [i]

    }

    Do I need to create handleAction() as well as added actionItem SLOT

    But I don't know how much action added because it is dynamic server

    Thank you

    There are a few options:

    Create a single location and connect all the signals. You can then call sender() into the slot to retrieve the object that sent the signal and go from there. You can also use a QSignalMap that maps each signal to a value and send this value to a single location. You can also use QSignalMap::sender() to get the sender object.

    I used the QSignalMap to do something similar for handling created dynamically successfully drop-down lists.

  • How add us shortcuts of applications downloaded from the app Store? (RT surface)

    Original title: App shortcuts

    Hello

    How add us shortcuts of applications downloaded from the app Store? (RT surface)

    For example: Skype shortcut on desktop

    Hello k0mrade,

    You can create shortcuts on the desktop for versions of the apps Web page, but not applications, in the strict sense. The version of the app Web page often has more features and options.

    The example you give is a good thing. If you go to the Skype Web page, you can do this Web page a favorite in user IE10 or IE10 Desktop interface. It also works with SkyDrive, Hotmail, Outlook.com, or any Microsoft service available on the internet.

    Once the favorite is created, open the Desktop IE10, then open Favorites and drag the symbol from the Web page Favorites and on the desktop. It becomes a shortcut on the desktop to this Web site (but will most likely open on the side of the user interface).

    In addition, if you use the same Microsoft account to connect to Windows RT, that you will use to connect to the Microsoft Web pages, when you open the shortcut that you'll already be connected.

  • I got my computer back on the first day and now I lost all my pictures how do I get those photos back

    I got my computer back on the first day and now I lost all my pictures how do I get those photos back

    From Internet Explorer

    Original title: C:\Users\%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\Storage Folders\Deleted items

    Backup, backup, backup, this is something everyone needs to do, and if you had you would have had your photos. Now that being said, you can get them at the root of your c: / in a folder named Windows.old. Good luck, but I'm afraid that this may turn out to be an expensive lesson.  Hope this helps and if you need another post to help and we will be happy to help you.

  • Inactive Contacts - how you handle the?

    We currently have XXX, XXX (there is no way I'm telling you, in fact) of contacts in Eloqua, which is not just whatever be done in a VERY long time. We have recently acquired another company who does not use Eloqua and working on their integration in our system. Now I'm sure that like Eloqua me just buy more space, I work on a project to clean up the deadbeats and leave room for shiny new customers. The program that we run has three points of contact, and if a customer engages in any of the steps they got out the program and will be left in the system. In the last step we let them know that if we do not hear back from them within 10 days, we will assume that they are super busy and we will remove them from our database. Also, we are ignoring those who joined in the last 12 months, because they can always be interested in reading some of our materials and have not gotten yet around him.

    This seems to be an Amir of a program and will surely cause our stats boost then because we send is more people that never open anything.

    How you handle these kinds of people? Do you agree with our approach?

    Absolutely!  It is a perfect process.  In my life earlier as someone who was directly in the marketing of opps, we did this process manually about every 3 months.  Automating this process with a campaign and send to the PB to automatically remove contact looks a perfect nurture automated.

    You can even include the verbiage in the last email, if they "do not" provide this mail they will be removed from the system.
