Problem with removal of duplicates in Windows Search.

I have a large collection of files and a lot of them are duplicates with different things on the end as (F) or (G), so I use windows search to find each other and then select all, then delete them so I have all these duplicates. the problem is when I'm looking for (F) for example, it shows the files with (F), but it also shows files with just a f in the name, but not the parentheses. Why is this happening?

It works like a web search engine.  Bing and Google did the same thing when you perform a search.

To search for a specific string, including punctuation, you can type it like this:

= filename: "(F) '"

I test here, and even if both files have 'F' in the name, the search results return only the one with the (F):

Don't forget that my test is Windows 8, but the Foundation research is still the same under Windows 7 and Vista, so it should always work.

  • I have problems with Adobe Photoshop CS4 and Windows 7 32-bit Professiol.

    When I open an image of the bridge, the photoshop Panel is locked on one side of the screen.  The onle way I can get out of it is CTRL, alt, delete.  The problem persists.  I tried to uninstall Adobe and reinstall with no luck.  I called Adobe and they think that there is a problem with the security system in Windows.  Help, please.

    Hey jrcjr,

    This could be attributed to several factors such as conflicts between device drivers, applications, settings of operating system, hardware, and corrupt elements in specific files.

    Basic troubleshooting

    1. make sure that the computer meets the minimum requirements for Photoshop.
    2. install all Windows updates. .
    3 re-create the Photoshop preferences file.

    Re-create the Photoshop preferences file to eliminate problems that may cause a damaged Preferences file.

    To re-create the Photoshop preferences files:

    1. quit Photoshop.
    2. rename the \AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Adobe Photoshop CS4 Settings\Adobe Photoshop CS4 Prefs.psp directory Users\ [username] Adobe Photoshop CS4 Prefs.old.
    3 launch Photoshop. Photoshop creates a new Adobe Photoshop CS4 Prefs.psp file.
    If the problem persists, the Photoshop preferences files aren't the cause. To restore custom settings, quit Photoshop, and then delete the new Adobe Photoshop CS4 Prefs.psp file and restore the original name of the previous Adobe Photoshop CS4 Prefs.psp file.

    Hi guys,.

    First of all... Here's the PowerCLI version I use:

    VDS's VMware PowerCLI component 5.1 build 1012428

    VMware vSphere PowerCLI component 5.1 build 1012428

    I'm having a problem with Remove-VDSwitchVMHost which is a bit frustrating. I have a script that I use to rebuild hosts in my environment when we upgrade versions. I recently changed my vDS switches. When the host is rebuilt, there is a phantom entry in the vDS for the old server. For some reason, I can't remove it with Remove-VDSwitchVMHost.

    vDS.png

    The two hosts in this group appear in the GUI. Esxt21 is the server, I just rebuilt and added to the vCenter.

    When you go through PowerCLI, it presents different information:

    vDS2.png

    When I get home: get-vmhost $vmhost | Get-VDSwitch nothing is returned. If I list the switch first, then get-vmhost, it shows data:

    vDS3.png

    Get-VDSwitch $vDSName | get-vmhost $vmhost | Delete-VDSwitchVMHost does not seem to work either.

    I can delete the host via the interface graphics, but which goes against the idea of a script

    Someone had a bit of luck with this?

    Thank you

    Got, it works now! Here's the code to work:

  • Problem with internet connection Wi - Fi Windows XP - very 'slow' packages

    Hi people, this problem has been driving me crazy for weeks, so I wonder if someone can provide a solution! Sorry for the long post, but I tried to put in as much information as possible.

    In short, I decided to rebuild an old laptop in Windows XP (2006) I (latest updates installed). I'm without audio (cannot find drivers), but this isn't so much a problem. The problem needs to connect to the WiFi.

    The internal WiFi card is an Intel (r) PRO/Wireless 2200BG (or, at least, it's the driver).

    WiFi is displayed as 'Connected' and ' Signal strength: Excellent "(as my laptop is sitting right next to the hub). Ethernet (wired) connection to the hub works perfectly. I have WiFi BT working connects perfectly with my Mac and my iPod, I know that there is absolutely no problem with the router.

    However, my laptop does not seem to want to connect WiFi, despite 'positive' messages above. All browsers (IE, Chrome, Firefox) display a message stating that they cannot connect to the internet. Nothing in browsers suggest that all DNS settings have been changed.

    I * think * the problem might be because the packets sent/received are still very low - if either enter three digits, I have a lot of luck. For now, they are stuck on envoys = 14, received = 3.

    So, what I have checked/tried is the following (all based on Google search) - none have worked:

    (1) I can confirm that the automatic Wireless Configuration is enabled, started and set to automatic, and that Windows is used to set up my network.
    (2) my wireless network appears in my favorite networks and is automatically connected to (or should be :-)) - I have added/removed the connection several times, check the wireless key, every time, without success.)
    (3) the TCP/IP menu is configured to obtain an IP address and a DNS service automatically.
    (4) type ipconfig/all at the command prompt seems to show that everything works OK:

    • The physical address is: 00-16-xx-xx-xx-xx (I removed the last few digits as it is an open forum, but is probably not a security issue)
    • DHCP is enabled.
    • Automatic configuration is enabled.
    • The IP address is 192.xxx.x.xx (as above)
    • Subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
    • Default gateway, DHCP and DNS server are all the 192.xxx.x.xxx (as above)

    However, IP routing is NOT enabled or is Proxy WINS. Node type appears as unknown.

    I tried the DNS, IP address in the command line (don't remember the command), hot flashes reset everything I can think of or have found via an internet search.

    I also tried the two separate Wireless USB key (only install the drivers - now deleted), which is not working.

    I am so right in thinking that everything seems OK, except the transfer of packages very low? Anyone who has any other control I can try - or better yet, a potential solution?

    Thank you!

    Hello c0ley,

    Have you tried to change the wireless channel that your router is running at? There may be interference that could prevent the internet connection:
    Take a look at step 6 in this article that give more details about it:
    If you need assistance to change the settings of the specific router, you will need to contact your router manufacturer or your internet service provider.
  • Problem with the new installation of Windows XP on the Satellite A100-259

    Hi all!

    I have a problem with the fresh install WIN XP on Satellite A100-259 (PSAA2E).
    I already deleted the partition, formatted (NTFS) and tried to reinstall from recovery disk that initially provided with the laptop. But whenever I try to install a problem is detected (for the most part it's 'page in the nonpaged area failure').

    I also tried to install the OS directly from MS Windows XP Home Edition SP2 CD - the same problem.
    I checked the partition using PQ Magic and discovered that there are ' partition table error #110 ".» So, what I did:

    (1) delete partition-> create new partition-> format (NTFS)-> reinstall from recovery disk-> has not yet;
    (2) partition delete-> install WinXP CD original by create and format partition option-> has not yet;
    (3) delete the partition (using the magic of pq)-> create partition (using the magic of pq)-> format NTFS partition for win xp option-> check partition-OK no problems don't-> installation of original win XP CD-installation without changes-> option failed even once
    (4) delete the partition (pq magic)-> create partition (pq magic)-> format NTFS partition for win xp option-> check partition-OK, no problem-> installation of the recovery disc-> has not yet

    Whenever a different error is detected, so I can't identify the problem. I don't know what to do. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Hello

    Seems that there are some problems with the standards of the partitions.
    A friend of mine has tried to install the OS on the recovery CD on the laptop that has been formatted with Partitions Magic 8 and the installation failed.
    It was very strange

    Finally, we have formatted the whole HARD drive using the CD original Windows XP Pro.
    We did not remove the partition but simply kicked this CD and after the configuration process spent, we formatted the whole HARD disk and install XP without creating all the partitions.

  • Problems with Outlook Express 6 in Windows XP

    Dear Sir or Madam:

    My friend has problems with his program of Microsoft Outlook Express 6 on Windows XP computer.

    He has saved all his program of Microsoft Outlook Express 6 e-mail messages.

    There are 2 e-mails corrupt in its Outlook Express 6 Inbox folder; He tried opening and remove these 2 emails corrupted in the Inbox folder, which causes the Outlook Express 6 program stops responding and freeze-up Windows XP. He had to click the end task to close immediately the program Outlook Express 6 is not responding in Windows Task Manager.

    It won't reinstall Windows XP on his computer from scratch.

    Please reply back soon.

    Thank you.

    Same question as above, except the deleted items that is now corrupted. Follow the instructions above, but this time remove Remove Items.dbx with OE closed.

    With all the corruption, you might want to consider a new identity that will give you all the new dbx files and a new registry hive.

    File | Identities | Add the new identity. Create a new one and try it. If all goes well, you can import your messages and address book from the old identity and delete it.

    Note: Do not use the main word in the name of the new identity.

  • Is there a problem with the latest update of Windows for Vista (January 13, 2016).

    After installation of 10 updates by restarting, through phase II and restart again my display driver stopped working so there is nothing on the screen. The disc did something for about 20 minutes, but there is no signal on the screen (yellow light instead of green).

    I had to do a restore, but Windows guard eager to make the same update, leaving me in the same position with no display.

    What should I do?

    Hello

    Microsoft gives sometimes you updates for the 3rd party hardware: graphics, network cards, etc.

    You should only get the latest drivers for them to real hardware manufacturer's website, as Microsoft normally does nor those have the most recent drivers available as Microsoft relies of the 3rd party hardware Manufactuer to provide.

    But unfortunately, the only way to know which is the update of the problem is to install them one by one, until you find the 'wrong' for your installation.

    You can do a system restore to get back until it has been installed (which is NOT the best way to remove an update) or follow this method:

    'Remove an update'

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/remove-an-update

  • Minor problem with the New Installation of Windows 7 on my Inspiron E1705/9400 - two entries for "Base system device" under "Other devices" with yellow exclamation point

    Hello

    First of all, let me tell you about my system.   It is of a laptop Inspiron E1705/9400 with the Core 2 Duo T7400 processor clocked at 2.16 GHZ.   It has 2 GB of RAM and a hard drive on the Hitachi Travelstar nine 500 GB (7200 RPM).   It also has the GeForce Go 7900 GS video card.    Previously, it had Windows XP Professional (32 bit) and worked well.   But, I have three computers in my home and Home Office and would they work better together on my wired home network, so I'm upgrading all three to Windows 7.   My two desktops (a Dimension XPS 420 and the other Dimension XPS 430) seem like they will be no problem to upgrade to Windows 7.   But, this laptop was not on the list of Dell Windows 7 compatibility.   However, the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor that I have downloaded and run seemed to say that it was OK to do a clean install of Windows 7 32-bit and he had only a few minor issues, where it says search the drivers updated from the manufacturer.   Initially, the laptop came with a 100 GB hard drive.   For my use, which becomes very small, so I decided to get the exact same 7200 RPM drive 500 GB size.   This will allow me to do a clean install of the 32 bit Windows 7 OS on the new hard drive and not have to wipe the old disk to do so.   I can just keep the old HD and paste it back whenever I need to get something out of it.

    So, here's my minor problem.   After the transfer of some elements off the coast of the old hard drive, I installed the new 500 GB drive and installed a cleaning of the 32-bit version of Windows 7.    I'm happy to announce that I have not had virtually no problems with installation and everything seems to work fine.   He seems a little more zippy than before and I have not met so far that doesn't seem to work.   I went through most of features and almost everything is superb.   But there is a minor problem, showing in Device Manager.   At least, I think it's a minor problem, but maybe someone can give me feedback to know if she is or not.

    In the Device Manager list, there is a category called "other devices" now and the icon shows a little white circle with an exclamation mark.    When you expand this category, you see two identical entries that say "Base system device" and the icon has a yellow circle with an exclamation mark inside.     I know from experience that it is not a good thing to see items in the device manager that have a yellow circle with an exclamation point.   I clicked on both of them and neither one really tells you what the device is, or who did what is site you would go to a driver.    On the general tab, it has the following information:

    -Device type Other devices

    Reference of the manufacturer- Unknown

                         Location     -         Bus PCI 3, device 1, function 3


    Under device status, it says the following:

                           The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)

    There is no driver selected for the item or a set of device information

    To find a driver for this device, click Update driver.

    Each of the entries seem to be almost the same thing... but not exactly.   The other has the location

    list PCI Bus 3, device 1, function 2... instead of function 1.   This seems to be the only difference.

    I tried the button to update the driver, but that doesn't seem to work.   No matter if you say it looks like your

    computer or to look for a new driver from the internet, it does not find anything.     As I said at the beginning,

    the system seems to work very well... but, given that I don't know what this device is or does, I might be missing something.

    He drives me crazy just have these yellow circles with exclamation point hanging out in my device manager.

    I could really use some help here.    Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    BTW, I just downloaded and installed the driver pack from this ftp location and it worked, even for Windows 8.1 - 64 bit.

  • Problem with the virtual store to Windows 7 basic, home

    Hello, I have a problem with Windows 7 64-bit home basic e-store. What happened is that I have a program that I use to make small electronic circuits and it was working fine until a few days when I noticed that the design I was doing seemed to be locked - I can open it but I can't open the second tab of the main window, which I should be able to do. After much research I discovered that the problem was caused by the virtual store of Windows - system registers my designs. I need to disable this feature because it prevents me from doing my work. I tried many things including turning off virtual store in REGEDIT and it doesn't change anything. I have another computer with Windows 7 starter and I have no problem there at all. I searched the internet for ideas and found two to this site http://www.askvg.com/how-to-tweak-user-account-control-uac-options-in-windows-vista-home-basic-home-premium/
