Recent items in Vista does not update correctly

I have a problem that the recent items on the Start Menu is not updated correctly.  There are a few documents out there, but there are many who don't are not who should be.  If I right click on the recent items and choose explore I can see a lot more files in the C:\Users\Pete\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent folder.

For example, there are few. XLS and. DOC files that I opened recently but don't are not.  However when I explore the folder I can see a shortcut to the directory that contains the missing files.

I tried many combinations of physically erase the folder, by activating / disabling the option elements recent etc, but nothing helped.

Thanks in advance

I had the same problem. I fixed it by deleting all entries, except the default entry, in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RecentDocs in the registry. There are a bunch of other entries which are numbered for each of the files in the list of recent items. and the entrance to MRUListEx. Delete it all. Unfortunately, there is no file name but only entered, HEX numbers and letters. After doing this, Windows has started listing the files in recent Articles that were not show up there before.

I found that the problem has followed a couple of files that were present in recent Articles when I cleared the list a few weeks earlier. After these files are not present in recent items, but rather the shortcut to the folder appears. Also, I've found that the problem was with the actual files, not the folder. I opened the 2 files, Excel, and a Word document and choose Save under and added a 2 to name the document, save an exact copy of the documents. Each copy has appeared in recent and open items without any problems. Copies of rename the original name and overwrite the originals, reduced the problem. I searched the registry files to see if there's information about save them in a special place, but nothing found. They were only listed in the MRUlists for each of their applications, showing other open documents recently Excel and Word.

Since I had made changes to the documents and saved the changes in copies that end in 2, I chose save as once again and replaced the original files with updated copies. Now my original files, with the update of information, see and open from the list of recent items.

  • XControl does not update correctly

    Thus,.

    I am writing an XControl which works fine by itself and does what I expect it to do, but as soon as I test and put it in a small program with a while loop, it is not properly updated its appearance more. To be more precise:

    So this is an example for the switch to a camera. If she runs and the switch is set to TRUE, the camera is initialized and the indicator turns TRUE and a small status message is produced and send to an another XControl, which just prints some text (and works very well, I wrote a test program). The initialization of the camera still works, the light changes to green and the correct status message is printed. But the shutdown process does not work:

    Although its quite similar. So I tested a) initialization and the stop screws, they work fine. (b) the output information xcontrol that works very well, too. If I run the XControl by itself, it works as expected, too. Just in case I place it in a test environment fails. Any suggestions?

  • HomeScreen icon does not update correctly

    I'm trying to update my HomeScreen iconwith copy the following code:

    UiApplication.getUiApplication().invokeAndWait(new Runnable() {
         public void run() {          HomeScreen.updateIcon(IMAGE_NEW,0);
         }
    });
    

    It generally works well, with one exception: on the Storm, if the home screen is in this limited view where it shows that two or three rows of icons, the icon is not updated until the application icon focus is changed, or if the orientation is changed to landscape mode. Is there something wrong in the way I update the icon? It works fine when I'm in the mode where all the icons are available (i.e. after hitting the button menu).

    You do not have something wrong, that it is a limitation of the current home screen API.  Our development team is aware of this problem.

  • Recently changed my Apple ID and now does not update apps

    I know that this happens to a lot of people and I searched the forums to find someone with the same problem who received the help of the community, but I have not found the post again so I decided to make my own.

    I had to change my apple ID because I got hacked. I don't have a new brand, I changed the email of the Apple ID, I already had. Everything seems fine, except that now does not update my apps on my iPod touch. I know this is because applications are no longer associated with the correct email and this is most likely the problem, but I'm not sure how to fix it.

    I made sure that I disconnected all my accounts (Apple store/iCloud/choice of account) on all my products apple (2 pounds of Mac and iPod) and has signed all the accounts mentioned previously with new Apple ID. No progress, which makes sense because the applications are linked right old Apple ID?

    So I deleted all my apps thinking I could redownload them. But they are associated with my iCloud it seems... so I tried to disable my iCloud on the iPod so that apps would show 'get' instead of 'download' in the Apple store (basically doing my iPod are realizing that it is a new Apple ID and I want to get the apps for "the first time"), but that no longer works.

    My last attempt was to remove an application on my Macbook, in the hope that "get" appears instead of "Download", but in a way that no longer works. I even connected to my iCloud with my new apple ID and none of the apps show on my iCloud. I'm quite confused. Someone at - it insight, ideas, or suggestions on how I might remedy other that go into an Apple store or do a factory reset on the iPod? Does anyone know if the factory reset would even work?

    Firefox seems to have recently developed seemingly random usually do not remember bookmarks, particularly when the pc does not stop correctly. Thank you

    If Firefox detects that the places.sqlite database is corrupted then Firefox can create a new database file and import bookmarks from a JSON backup that does not contain the most recent bookmarks (a new JSON backup is created when you run Firefox for the first time on a day), then you may lose the bookmarks in such a case.

    You can check for problems with the database places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.
