• Impossible to rename folders: restores the original name

  Original title: file rename rename my computer won't let me not rename folders. Can I rename the files, but not files. I click with the right button on the folder, click on "Rename", enter a new name, press the "enter" button, but nothing happens. The record is just instantly is the old name. What's most frustrating is that this problem only occurs on the profile of the administrator, not the standard user profiles. How can this be repaired?

  Create another admin account > this new admin login > try to rename a folder.
  If you are able to rename a folder in the new admin account, your old admin account is corrupted.

  Note: You must have at least three user accounts on the computer to perform these operations, including the new account that you created.

• I am suddenly unable to rename folders. Insert the cursor, but it does not respond when I type characters, or even when I hit him back out. Know a simple fix?

  After cropping of a photo with Photoshop I discovered that I was unable to rename.  I soon found out that the same thing is true when I tried to rename main folders in My Documents.  I am able to insert the cursor, but it does not respond when I type characters, or even when I hit him back out.  Know a simple fix?

  Name change is a directory operation.  It would seem that you have read and write access to your directories, but you do not change access.  This highlights a problem with file permissions.  How is 'Simple' the fix depends on which version of Windows you have to a certain extent.

  Windows XP Pro (with "Simple file sharing" turned off) using the security"" tab. When you right-click on a file or a folder and select 'Properties', then click on the 'Security' tab to view and change the permissions.

  Windows XP Home Edition is a bit more complicated.  You can start safe mode and log in as administrator for the 'Security' tab as above, or you can open a command prompt window (start-> Run-> "cmd") and allows you to display the 'cacls' command or change the permissions of files and folders.  You should check that your username has permission to ull 'F' for your records.  Not pretty, but it works.

• Impossible to rename folders on Vista Home Premium 32-bit

  I can create a new folder in Explore, but impossible to rename.  My research indicates this is probably an error in registry, would have been in this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENT
  VERSION\EXPLORER\FOLDER_DESCRIPTIONS.
  When I Open regedit, it seems that this key exists in my registry, however.

  I tried to fix it through all the following options listed in my search:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/949109 
  http://www.Winhelponline.com/blog/unable-to-rename-or-move-folders-in-Windows-Vista/ 
  http://www.WinVistaClub.com/T46.html

  None of these worked, even after disarming system keeps McAfee to ensure that he was not interfering.   Interestingly, I don't get the error "the file does not exist" typical that most relate to this problem.  In addition, I CAN rename new files on an another user account on the same PC, but not in the original administrator account.

  Any ideas what to try next?

  You have found most of the items good for repair this type of problem when it is the problem.  Maybe the problem is not the process of change of name, but with your profile (especially if the process works by using a different profile).

  Your administrator user profile can are damaged.  To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.  If that is the only available Administrator Profile (you need to be an administrator to fix this), enable the Hidden Administrator Account (HAA) using http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?&lang=en&cr=US&guid=&sloc=en-us&dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_accounts_passwords&p=1&tid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055&mid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055.  If you don't remember the password, try nothing because that's probably what you (or seller) did during the installation.  Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.

  Good luck and I hope this helps.

• Save as dialog box slow to create, rename folders

  When you create a folder in any window save as with any program the interface stalls for about a minute. In fact, even right click in ANY other window that Windows Explorer itself causes the program to stall. So, whenever I want to create a folder when you save a file, or rename a file or folder, I must first of all open the Explorer and then back to the desired program and browse to the new location.

  She did not used to be the case. I turned Windows Search because I thought that indexing could be the cause of the problem but nothing helped.

  What could be the problem and how can it be solved?

  Think about the answer given does not address the issue, I've seen this phenomenon and seen it discussed in several forums.

  A good suggestion is the "stall" is probably caused by what you're asking to do... i. e the list of folders in which you can save the machine, and usually causes the access time of network volumes or drives slow to take more time for a list of cached directories.  In addition, a mapped drive that is not available will cause a very long time and is the cause of this behavior. If the delay you see is probably caused by the application that attempts to find for caching records available.

  Click Start--> computer and remove the network grows with a red 'X' or go to tools (press the alt key if you do not see the menu) and select network drives disconnect and then select them (those with the 'X' in red) and disconnnect the one at a time

  If you can not remove the network here try drive then via the command prompt start-> type CMD in the search field and hit back or in the line to run in XP etc...

  NET use h:/d

  where, instead of "h", you specify the drive that needs to be deleted.  Then restart.

  A more radical approach would be to leave a cmd prompt

  NET use / persistent: no

  but I think this removes all of the shares of persistent network at the next reboot.

  I'm still looking, but it may be a way to change the registry so that it does not cache directories of network share, or you can alterantively does not map directories.  In both cases, try this and I think you should see an improvement in the Save in dialog box.

  Either way, if you get an error that it cannot remove the share you specify you must always restart, it should have restarted.  If not, well you have a new problem in google, bing, altavista, etc using the search engine of your choice.

  Good luck and stakeholders MS, please make greater efforts to meet your users... you really think that msconfig is where you want to send your users first?

• Right click mouse to drag and drop or rename folders and files does not work

  For a few weeks now, I had problems with the right click function to drag - move files and folders, or rename files and folders. This happens when I use windows Explorer or access to the computer and click thruogh for a feature. He can't go to all the folders and files, but many. I can't right click on these folders or files to change the sharing because explore closes and restarts on the desktop with a right-click. Manifest error "appcrash" reason. I have Norton Security suite installed and neither Norton or your fix program detects a problem.

  Please notify.

  Have you installed or removed/uninstalled all hardware or software or drivers since just before the start of this problem (if so, exactly what - name, version, device, whatever)?  Norton take any infection, although it is said that he cleaned their since just before the problem started?  If so, you know the names of these infections?

  Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.  It's been a while so I'm not sure that you have a fairly old restore point but it is possible - hopefully.

  Are these files and folders in your user profile?  If Yes, your user profile may become corrupted (in fact, if can still be corrupted if the folders are not there).  To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.  If that is the only available Administrator Profile (you need to be an administrator to fix this), enable the Hidden Administrator Account (HAA) using http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?&lang=en&cr=US&guid=&sloc=en-us&dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_accounts_passwords&p=1&tid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055&mid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055.  If you don't remember the password, try nothing because that's probably what you (or seller) did during the installation.  Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.

  We will check some of your system files and hard drive for ccorruption that may be the cause:

  Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

  Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.  Try to put all the corrupt files here so that we can see if they can be repaired with good copies of the installation disc (unless there are too many).

  While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  She might want to plan itself to start at the next startup.  Okay, then restart so that the program can run. It will scan and attempt to resolve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a potential cause.

  Please checkwith the manufacturer to find out if there is a mouse driver updated (software or firmware) available for your make and model of mouse and your version of Vista.  Download and install to update the driver to the most recent available and see if that solves the drag and drop problem (even though I know that this will not affect the question of the name change).  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.

  If it doesn't (or if SFC detects corruption it cannot repair), we you will need to do a repair/system upgrade using the Windows Vista Installation disc authentic (you own or that you can borrow from someone).  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html.  Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side. You can have a lot of updates to re - install (including all you need to remove service packs).  If the version of the system came with SP1 or SP2 preinstalled and the disc is an earlier version, then you will need to make a record of slipstream as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/151606-vista-sp1-slipstream-installation-dvd.html.

• Problem too Long way destination - Item not found to rename folders

  I searched an answer in the world to this question and it seems that none of the '' correction '' that people have had success with worked for me, so I write my own question in the hope that someone can help me, and in turn anyone who stumbles on this problem will find this thread and be helped as well.

  My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium SP1

  Here's the problem:
  For a few months now, I was not able to make a new folder and rename it with windows Explorer (I have to go to the command prompt and do it this way)
  It gave me errors "Destination path too Long", despite the path doesn't exceed NOT the limit of 260 characters. Even if I rename the folder '1' or 'a' it gives the error. I have files that were created before the problem that are fine, but they can't really be renamed with windows Explorer.

  It also gives me the 'path of destination too long' error when you move files in other folders, thus making the Organization of difficult cases.

  I tried to uninstall the update "kb980408" as other threads have said... and it did nothing for me. I tried to delete the reg files as indicated on multiple threads to try to solve the problem that some people had success with... I have not the case.

  I ran chkdsk, several malware scans and viruses which did nothing.

  I had not initially installed SP1, so I tried to see if it changed anything. He did. Instead of the "destination path too long" error, I then go "object not found" when you try to rename a file or move a folder to another folder. If I hit "try again" on this box, then it would actually rename the folder or move the folder successfully. Well, not being able to live with the stupid error that appears when I want to simply create and rename a folder, I searched for a way to get rid of THIS problem that brought me to remove these registry keys once more. After reboot, back to the error "destination path too long" and not rename/move the files once more.

  Anyone had any experience with this problem and you can guide me in a solution that does not involve a clean install?

• From LR6.1 to LR6.3: rename folders created are based on the date of importation rather than the date of shooting!

  I started using LR with version 2... My import workflow was even up to 6.1 and all my files are organized in the same way for more than 10 years.

  I went on LR6.2 given the changes made in the import dialog. But upgraded to LR6.3 think the problem has been resolved.

  But now I noticed that all my photos are renamed and placed in folders corresponding to the date of importation rather than the date of shooting... I rename my files from custom and is gone in this dialogue, but has not as how to restore LR import my photos using the date of shooting. This creates havoc on my hard drives and in LR. I use the date of shooting a lot to find my photos, since I often neglect to add keywords.

  I really need to be able to get the date of shooting on the behalf of my photos and have copied them in the folder the correct date.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  BTW: something has changed in the way the forum appears. Research is not very powerful... it has not brought something, yet I know that the import dialog has been at length when 6.2 was introduced. In addition, I see no browser passed a few more recent messages. I don't like the new interface.

  Well, I answered my own question. Yes, I was looking for settings in the destination Panel... There is a line that shows what would change the name... and it showed the date of importation as the new name... but actually... It was only to show you what the name change would look like. Because I had a selected image, I thought it would show that the change of name for this image. But it is not related to the image... The import worked as expected... My apologies for disturbing him. .

• How to rename folders on a regular basis?

  iMac 4K 32 GB running LR CC by subscription.  Latest version of El Capitan.

  I have a hodgepodge of folder names. I've created a unique record for each session in the Finder, but then started allowing LR to create records. Now, my folder name system is all messed up. Problem is I can't rename them by LR.

  All my images are in an external drive in a folder named NIKON. Lightroom Import creates a new subfolder in the folder that I nominated for entry. This subfolder is the year, and then it creates a subfolder to the one with the date as 2015-11-07

  Records are displayed in LR as in this example: 2015-Nikon/OklahomaCentennialBotanicalGarden the name and the path of the folder in the Finder is Nikon > OklahomaCentennialBotanicalGarden > 2015

  This garden has been renamed in TulsaBotanicGarden. I need to rename the folder.  When I right click on this folder in LR named 2015-Nikon/OklahomaCentennialBotanicalGarden, the input renaming area has only '2015' in it. I tried to type the full name like this: 2015 - Nikon/TulsaBotanicGarden.  Now, it appears in the Organizer folder as TulsaBotanicGarden and there is no '2015' in front of him, so it appears at the bottom of my list, rather than with the other shoots of 2015. The attached picture shows the two ways records are listed in the menu Organizer LR. My choice was on the "2015 - NIKON/family" folder and you can see what the area looks like rename the folder when I right click this folder.

  Rename files in LR is somewhere between confusion and irrational. Otherwise, I am an experienced user of LR since V1. Is there a control that displays the folder hierarchy in LR as well as in the Finder?

  Thank you.

  Problem is I can't rename them by LR.

  I'm curious to know why, as you are!

  In my LR Folders pane, I simply right-click on a folder, choose 'Rename', type the new folder name as I want.

  Control Panel folder in Lightroom shows records as they exist in the Finder.

  Control Panel folder in Lightroom displays only records that contain images that you have "imported".

  The name that you have a folder in Lightroom is the same as the name of the folder in the Finder.

  Moving folders in the Control Panel folder Lightroom moves also in the Finder. (But never move or rename in Finder!)

  The 'Collections' Panel has no relation to the folder structure whatsoever (unless you maybe create collections to import)

  An example - I want to change the name of the folder 'My photos photographers' to a new name-"PHOTOGRAPHERS".

  

  So I right click on the folder - and choose "Rename...". »

  

  Type new name-

  

  And Lightroom displays the new name - just like the Finder (in my case is Windows Explorer)

  

  Note the folder 'GROUP' that appears in the file Explorer, but not in Lightroom-it does contain all the images!

  And -.

  If you want to reorganize the structure of your file by moving the files to the appropriate places - do it all in Lightroom. (Slides &)

  And you can also change the format of the files in the Control Panel folder by right click on the [+] sign in the file header-

• Help! Can I recover my Lightroom changes after re-synchronization and rename folders sources?

  My source files were a mess, I went and about organized, creating folders and sort by type. I thought I could just re - a link to the files offline in LR.

  In Lightroom, I clicked on my photo of root folder and chose 'synchronize the folder"- what I didn't, is it seems to have deleted what I had and it re-imported again. So my problem is that all my Lightroom changes on these files are now gone. All I have are raw photos, intact.

  I backup on a regular basis. Is it possible to restore my changes? All the underlying file names are the same.

  I hope so...

  3.6 Lightroom

  OS x 10.6.8

  OK, think about it. Here's what I did, in case anyone has the same problem in the future:

  • Open the catalog in the menu file. Chose my latest backup (since last weekend).
  • He closed my catalogue in force and loaded the old a. This means that I went to a ton of grey tiles with '?' icons, because it cannot find the files in the original location.
  • I clicked on the first '?' icon. LR says: "cannot find IMG_3843" for example. I clicked on "find" and pointed to the new folder. All images in this folder appeared then, which is really nice because I didn't have to do photo by photo. Only by folder. Who saved a ton of time!
  • The pictures seemed still unpublished, but when I click on one of them, it loads the changes that I made in LR.

  All back to normal! Phew!

  Go through this process, I had an extra appreciation for the elegance of the design of LR.
