Rename a product folder "cannot find this item. By clicking on "Try Again" always works. Why?

This isn't the same problem as similar comments that relate to the inability to delete the folders that contain the zero byte files.

If I try to rename a file in my system, I get "Cannot find this item" with the choice of 'Try Again' and 'Cancel '. When I click 'Try Again', it always succeeds. -My system is not paralysed - but it is quite boring. I can even right-click on my desktop and choose 'new... '.  Folder"and type a name, and I get"cannot find this item ". What is interesting is that the name of the element changes even before I click on 'Retry '.

If I have a folder named "Folder1" and I rename it to "Folder2", I get the error "Folder1" could not be found - that is in fact true, as it is already renamed "Folder2".

Why Windows 7 looking for the old folder name after renaming it? I also disabled AVG live scanner without result.

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I finally got.

I used the same solution for the similar problem in Windows Vista. Once I got to my company laptop, I exported this 2 registry keys.

Hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\folderdescriptions

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\FolderDescriptions

Merged with my pc and this is!

The "shell" command also works again (ex: shell: staff opens the account folder)

I downloaded the reg file and you can get it here http://cid-fb5a28bc4a1cc9b6.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Public/Folder%5E_fix%5E_win7%5E_x64/FolderDescriptions.rar

This is for Win7 x 64. Use it at your own risk.

  • Impossible to rename files in Windows 7 "cannot find this item.

    Since the last batch of updates of Windows 7 (KB915597, KB3179573, KB3115475, KB3177723 and KB915597), suddenly I am completely impossible to rename the folders, even newly created. When I try, I'm greeted by an error message indicating:

    I clearly see that the file has not changed, and hit the "Try" button again makes the error message disappears for a split second before returning again.

  • "Cannot find this item" error when renaming files

    I have two Windows 7 x 64 machines which were normally front of patches from Windows Update Tuesday.

    After the patches I started having problems with computers, and now when I try to rename or move a file I get the error:

    This item is not found
    This is more in [path of the Director].  Check the location of the item and try again.

    A PC has six discs in and the other has two discs and I get this error when changing the name/move folders on any of the eight discs.  I tried to connect several different external drives and rename/move files on them, but I get the same error.  It seems to be a large problem system rather than the corruption of the disks.

    It seems that this bug has been around for many years, and the patches Tuesday appear to have triggered it in my two PC.  I've seen a lot of solutions proposed online but nothing worked for me.

    Someone knows how to fix this?

    Original title: laptop won't read the music files stored on external hard drive

    I have an old Compaq laptop Windows XP, so it was out of memory I transferred everything on a Portable Seagate (500 GB) hard drive and started to access it. It's worked well for over a year, but lately, began to stop playing my music files. Absolutely everything on the hard drive opens, however, images, files and folders, but when I go into Windows Media Player, it pops up with this error message:

    I have not modified parameters or anything that moved. I used to be just able to restart the laptop, or disconnect and reconnect the hard drive and it works again, but now it or not will be not at all, or it will cut off half way through a song and then not to play anything more.
    I can't find any support for this problem because the phone reads that the hard drive is there, and everything else works. Only the music doesn't. I tried to play music on a connected USB and it works fine. I'm so confused!

    I got this file from my friend got sent - is a word document, I had on their computer.  So I tried to use Disk Cleanup to delete temporary files, temporary internet files and files program downloaded.  Does not work.

    When I check the properties, there is no security tab so I can't transfer ownership in this way.

    I don't want to experiment using the way of the transfer of ownership command prompt as the name of the file is several sentences long.  I can't rename it either, of course.

    Windows 7, a week and I already have a stupid problem which has already lost an hour of my time.

    What I did was to create a Notepad file that was empty and saved in the same location as the file that won't go away.  Once registered.  I click with the right button on the new file and rename the exact name as the file problem.  Don't forget to change the file extension (ex: .doc)

    ex file problem: word.doc

    new file: word.doc

    as long as they match eachother exactly you should see the file problem disappear and once that's gone, you can delete the new file created.

  • Windows Media Player cannot find the file. If you try to read, burn or sync an item that is in your library, the element can point to a file that has been moved, renamed, or deleted.

    Lately I get the following message if poster every time that someone sends me an email with an attachment. I use to be able to display up to a few weeks before. the message is - Windows Media Player cannot find the file. If you try to read, burn or sync an item that is in your library, the element can point to a file that has been moved, renamed, or deleted.

    Does anyone have an idea on how I can display these attachments?

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi fredleon,

    · What is the email client or webmail you are using?

    · What is the attachment file extension?

    · How do you open the attachment?

    · Is it by double-clicking or you choose open with option.

    a. save the attachment to the office,

    b. right-click on the file and select open with the option to open the attachment according to their file extension.

    Example: If the .docx file extension, then it is word document or .pdf, it's Adobe.

    You can get the extension of a file by right clicking on the file and go to properties

    Also have a related problem about MS Maliciouws software removal tool. For download, but read in the KB that: in XP, the vacuum cleaner will remove the malware, but doing so may trigger the File Protection Win with damages to my operating system.  the tool will attempt to repair the damage, but to rehabilitate prior to infection, that I need to insert the CD of Win. As my computer came with Windows preinstalled, I do not have a disk and will not take the risk of damage, that I can't fix. Do I not download or not... ? Another solution... ?  I also fear that this tool could settle into the routine Win Update and need guidance on the prevention of this facility, if possible, or what to do if it cannot be prevented.

    It can have nothing to do with any of the foregoing. " I'm relaying only because it occurred during the same mission of update: had msg of error that Win Firewall has not been set as a default, which reset, but found this hidden file when searching for the Protection of the customer: "Win 32/Hackdef' - it was a config with the extension ini file and was deleted by Scan."

    ·         You have Microsoft Security Essentials on your computer?

    If you have windows installed on your computer security essentials, then you will not be able to install Windows defender. Windows Security Essentials has antispyware component installed.

    You get the error because you have installed MS Security Essentials, which has its own function to antimalware. You don't need or want to install Windows Defender, too. Leave MS Security Essentials installed and do not turn it off.
