• 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

  Hello

  What was the name of the program that you have installed?

  Log on as an ADMINISTRATOR - check the C:\Users\your old username to see if the files are still there.
  (or any drive records were on for example D :)

  Try these to erase corruption in the case where it plays a role.

  1. run DiskCleanup - start - all programs - Accessories - System Tools - Disk Cleanup

  2. start - type in the search - box COMMAND find top - RIGHT CLICK – RUN AS ADMIN

  Then do-, use the hidden administrator account to lower your user account (to the lowest level) APPLY/OK
  then go back and reset it to the Admin APPLY/OK - this clearly allows corruption. Do this several times. Do the
  same for other accounts that may be difficult. Then if necessary you can also reset your password
  in the accounts. Do not forget to leave your Admin account and the other to the desired level.

  Make another Admin account with your password and use it to fix the others if necessary. (just for
  repair, don't use regular account, not a safety valve) always keep a spare ADMIN account.

  DO NOT LEAVE THE ENABLED LSA OR USE DAILY. If it corrupts you are toast!

• Files and folders in root appear in my folder of Documents and office

  It probably happens on the Windows NT-based versions (has happened to me on a XP PC and a PC in 2000 that I intend to upgrade both of them soon). The files and folders of the program directory (C :) root Windows upward in the office and the folder My Documents. These files are not shortcuts and they show that they are located in the root of the drive, even if they appear on the desktop and My Documents. They can be handled then that mirrored to the root of the drive. I dropped a simple file to the root one test while it appears on the locations and then I deleted the file of the said test from the office and he left root. They don't seem to do anything when I click on them. It is not happened to me before. Does anyone know how to fix this? Is this a bug?

  That is some progress.  Normally the desktop folder works the same way, where he will have a "location" at the top of the Properties tab.  This is a feature you'll see normally special "shell folders" as this (shell being the part of the operating system that see you, or the user interface).

  If it has lost its distinctive feature, you can usually restore it quickly in the registry.

  1. First of all, make sure that you have a folder that is named "Desktop" in your personal folder 'username '. You will set the registry to use this folder as storage of office location.
  2. Keep Windows Logo type R to display the run box, type REGEDIT and click OK and give permission to the administrator if necessary.
  3. Navigate through the list of files (registry keys) on the left to find this place:
     HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
  4. Look for the "Desktop" entry on the right (registry value), and double-click it to change data to be:
     %UserProfile%\desktop

     The %UserProfile% is a variable that is everywhere where your current profile is stored.  Administrators and power users can use it to move their entire profile without having to define all those places individually.

  5. Click OK to save it, and then close the registry editor.
  6. Lot of windows completely and reconnect of re - initialize your user profiles and folder locations. Or just restart your computer, either way :)

  At this point, right click and properties of the desktop folder should now have the expected location tab (let me know if not).

  If you ever want to move these places, a little advice: make sure that you have specified a folder name.  In other words, do not place your Documents to store in just the G: drive. Instead, create a folder on the target drive and don't forget in the location (such as G:\Docs).  One last thing: don't try to define both 'special' folders to be stored at the same single physical location (do not set two in the same place).

  Here is a picture of this registry on Windows 10 location, but these steps are the same, all the way back to Windows 2000 (maybe sooner).

  

  Let me know how it goes, I hope that he gets all cleared up.

  I try to delete multiple photos and whenever I hit ctrl, hold down the key and left click on photos, remove, they breed

  and now I have more than 68 copies of less than 10 images, help!

  ==============================================
  Unwanted copies have file names with
  copy "prefix of"?

  Example: Copy of IMG_1455.JPG

  If_yes_maybe the following tutorial, I wrote
  for XP offers a few ideas:

  Also... There is a link to another method
  at the end of this tutorial.

  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.

  Oooops... multiple copies...

  Maybe the following will help:

  Sometimes most of the person who
  trying to select multiple by holding the CTRL
  or the SHIFT key down while clicking on the left to select the
  image files.

  Copies are created when you are unable to
  completely release the mouse button before
  you move the pointer to another file. When a group
  the selected file is dragged... even the slightest
  release the mouse button will produce a bit...
  copies of all the files previously highlighted.

  It's a little easier if you have your folder
  Options set at single click... that way you can
  select/deselect a file with just a mouse more
  and you don't have to click. For multiples you
  I have to keep... CTRL or Shift.

  Do not click on... no slip... no copy... maybe that of
  your solution. To adjust the click...
  Open a folder and go... Tools / folder
  Options / General tab... Check... 'single click '.
  To open an item"/ apply / OK.

  If you want to delete all the files in a folder
  You can try the following:

  Reach... Edition / select all... or type... CTRL / has...

  With all of the files selected... go... Drop / delete...
  or press your delete key... or... click on the
  Group and choose 'delete '.

  How do I find and remove unwanted 'copies '.
  of your image files.

  Open the folder that the images are saved in and
  on the left, click on the button 'Search' in your toolbar.

  (If you view the files from a montage
  program and do not know where the record is... right
  Click on one of the image files and the menu...
  choose... Properties. The path to the folder will be
  in the tab 'General' to 'Place').

  In the research pane select... "All files and folders".

  In the "All or part of the file name" field. Come in...

  a copy of

  Now... on the left, click on the search"" button.

  When the search is complete... go to... Edition / select all...

  Then go to... Remove / delete.

  You will see a dialog box asking if you are sure
  you want to delete the files, click Yes.

  Now... on the left, click on the 'Back' button in your toolbar.

  Now the remaining files should be your originals.

  If you delete the wrong files... recover from
  your basket now.

• Finding deleted files and folders

  I have a woman living under my roof, which has decided to delete the value for the year of my photos and my files into oblivion...

  Any way to recover files that were not only sent in the trash but empty from there?
  I tried to restore my system to a date earlier and all records were back, but they were all empty.

  Is it possible to recover these files and folders still intact?

  Thank you

  It depends on how your file has been deleted.

  If your file was shreded using third party software so it is not possible...

  If it was simply window option Removing guy then... you have a restore option... You have not installed or copied all the files etc in the same place has PROVIDED...

  The best third party tool, you can use is the recovery of the PC a third-party tool...

  If you copied or whatever installed to the location where the files have been deleted... then stop trying you Cann't get back them...

• Get Photos 'from files and folders"does not work beyond the letter 'G '.

  I have PSE - 7 is installed in Windows 7 64 bit. The program seems to work fine except for this:

  I have a very important folder; (141 GB, 2 500 files, 207 000 files) The command 'Get Photos from files and folders' stops working in the middle of the letter 'G'...!

  I have the same folder in a machine running Win XP, and both PSE 5 and 7 PES do not exhibit this behavior. Can I import from any letter of the alphabet...! (LOL)

  The catalog associated with this installation file has been optimized and recovered.

  This folder is located on the "G: /" drive (volume).

  HARD drive "G /: ' has been fully formatted (not a quick format).

  The only exception may be the way things should have been done, is that the catalogue was opened under the drive letter and the serial number of the drive.

  Using the drive letter, this catalog open immediately. Any ideas...?

  I learned that from the PSE 6, PSE uses the serial number of the HARD disk and not the letter of the reader to access the content. However, a catalog will still open and register correctly, using only the letter of the drive from it's previous machine. (Note that this is the same behavior as earlier versions of PSE, such as PSE-5, which depended only on the drive letter).

  --> When we say that the ESP is not dependent on the drive letter to access its content, it doesn't mean that the PSE will display the serial number of the HARD disk in the application. In this case, you have changed the drive letter from E to F, PSE media will not suffer.

  I'm usually import a whole folder. Until the letter 'G', PSE - 7 works as expected. The photos appear in the organizer and are accessible in all directions. After the letter 'G', it is impossible to select any folder inside the dialog box «Get the folders of files and folders» When the element is highlighted, the letters blink and change for other mailings, then selection resets nothing selected. After 'G', I have to use the, command "Get pictures by the research. This works as expected. Once the pictures are inside the Organizer, everything is as it should be.

  --> This is a known issue. Simply select "All Files" in the "File Type" drop-down list present in the import dialog box. After that, it will work very well.

  Just to sum up PSE6 or PSE7 are not supported under Win7 so you could face some issues.

  Hi aaz911,

  First of all, it would be nice of you if you post information on your laptop model and the operating system. This must be done always to get a detailed response.

  In any case, I never heard of this problem, but make sure that all files will be displayed:
  Start Windows Explorer > tools > Folder Options > view and enable the following options:
  -Files and folders hidden: display the hidden files and folders
  -Hide protected operating system files (this should be disabled > unbranded).

  In addition you will find these missing files by using Windows search?

  If this isn't the case, I suppose the files are deleted from someone or due to a virus. :(

• Qosmio X 505-Q892 Desktop files and folders endangered

  As indicated by the name of the thread I encounter a weird problem I've never seen before, I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem before where the files and folders on the desktop and files and folders within other folders just goes completely invisible are however still usable.

  Last night I had some strange lag on my computer so I restarted, everything loaded up just fine. I went to load Firefox and an excel spreadsheet to update on my spreadsheet work, and nothing went wrong. Save the file and went to open one that follows and everything in the folder disappeared. It's like everything just went invisible, I tried to move all my old files to the new folder on my computer from an external drive, and he said that all the files are still there. So I rebooted the computer again, and my entire office was empty except for my trash, so I did a system restore to see if it would be useful and done it in a way, but it only is half of the files and visible programs still. Half of my files are still invisible, the information is there and other programs can access the information, I just can't access it myself via records (if it makes no sense to me).

  Now, I know the difficulty more easy for this would be completely clean up the computer and start again, but I have no boot disks and that you don't have any idea how to get half of the drivers and all back, I'm decent with computers, but this part goes beyond the knowledge that I have. Any person in charge of helping a confused man? @. @ I just want to get my files usable again as they are normally...

  It looks like Windows 7 common bug where it is not refresh the list of files. If you press F5, you should see the files appear.

• Folder options - view the hidden files and folders

  Hello

  On this same laptop, there seems to be a problem with * Folder Options - Show hidden files and Folders.*

  Every time I have to 'see' this option to display - then I go back to check/confirm the changes - but the box is new 'unchecked '. Despite clicking on apply then Ok to save the changes. The changes are never saved...

  I have used other laptops of this same option and it worked fine.

  Please indicate if I need to apply or change other settings for this to work?

  Kind regards.

  A reasonable explanation from Microsoft for this?
  To be honest I have never heard talk about something like that. ?:|

  Since when you noticed this behavior?
  Have you tried to roll back the BONES to the bygone era? Maybe some update is responsible for this.

  I really hope that someone here will explain why this happen.
