Restore 'My Documents' and 'Public records' alias after moved folder

I moved my folder "Documents" of the user, as long as the public 'Documents' of my boot drive to a new drive for storage of files, I added.

To do this, I opened the properties of the folder, the location tab and used the move... button to direct to the new location.

After, my "Documents" library entry shows two folders 'Documents '.  Before the move, these folders have been listed with the alias "My Documents" and "Documents", which was a welcome orientation for the scope of these two files the same name.

How to recreate these aliases at this point?

Well, it's good. It is a common mistake for people to hurt set the new location as D:\ just for example, which means the entire root of the drive's "documents folder" (not exactly the end of the world, but it is difficult to undo and even harder to explain).  Anyway, you avoid this pitfall.

The word "public" shown is not actually part of the name of the documents folder (not the 'my' on your own file).  It covers based on the presence of a text file inside the folder that told him of the special Act.  The folder itself is still called 'Documents' (complete actual path of C:\users\public\Documents), but the folder icon shows "Public Documents" because there is a file with hidden text in the file called desktop.ini telling him to see it.

This part is pointing shell32 is just to find the English version of "Official Documents".  You could do what you want, such as:

The folder looks like that it's called "Public things", but we call it actually still just 'Documents '.  The name is set according to the text of Desktop.ini.

So in short, just to put this text file in the folder, mark it as a file system / hidden, and it will allow you to set the name of "presents itself as" to anything you want.

  • All Documents and the missing photos after a system restore, what happened, and how can I recover my files?

    Hello
    All of my documents and photos are missing after a system restore. Here's the story. A virus called "Windows Recovery" popped up earlier and I did a system restore to get rid of him. To restart the computer, all my files and photos were missing. I used the system restore in the past in similar situations and have never had any problems. I opened MS Office, and I found some documents in the recent documents list. They open up fine and I saved them, but is only some of the documents. I can find the files in my documents when I do a search on them, but they are empty, when I open them. I also find some pictures and documents when I do a search for them by name, but I remember only a few file names, so I can't retrieve many files this way.

    Can someone help me out here? Thank you

  • I lost my documents and settings to windows 7 how folder to restore?

    I accidentally deleted my documents and settings folder in popular 7 How do I restore or take another?

    1. check that the Documents & settings is actually deleted, rather than simply hidden from view. Windows Explorer, Union, file & search options, view tab to view hidden folders and clear the Hide protected operating system files [a few lines below the item in the list of hidden folders].

    2 - made command prompt right click on the command prompt entry into all programs, accessories, and select run as administrator.

    3 - this procedure system restore returns the system files to the State they were at the time of the restore point was created.  But I have never seen a report of anyone removing the Documents & settings before folder so I don't know that the restoration would correct this particular problem.  This comment also applies to running sfc / scannow.

    4 new admin - account when I created a new Admin account, all existing programs were available, and it is the behavior, I expect in all cases.  You won't see any desktop shortcuts because they belong to each account, but programs should be in the Start button, all programs lists.  You can get access authorization in the administrator account to access your existing user account & copy from there, desktop shortcuts if you wish but you must a first full backup or your next routine backup of user account will consider each unique as user data file being modified.  After you change the permissions, you can then run [I think you need a command prompt to run as administrator again] attrib - a/s of your folder my documents [check syntax using attrib /?] to reset all the data user file archive bits & therefore prevent everything back up again.

    5 reinstaling the OS solve the missing documents & settings folder.  I've seen discussions in this forum about putting on another partition data files, but you will need to pick up this topic because I never paid much attention to it.  Before doing [and this is just speculation], try to run then by saving a file from your older pre-Win7 application to see if Win7 itself can recreate the Documents & Settings folder when an older application that calls a configuration file or a backup procedure.  If it works, it would save you a lot of aggravation.  Alternatively, since the Documents & Settings folder must be called on what using an old pre-Win7 application, if your older application may perform & record properly without it then don't bother doing a re-install at all.

    Good luck with everything cela - and once more just to avoid misunderstandings, I've never seen a report on the Documents & Settings folder has been deleted, so I can't give advice without the benefit of a direct experience.

  • How can I copy restored c:\documents and settings\myusername\favorites\bookmarks at tab bookmarks Firefox bookmarks?

    My computer crashed and I had to restore it to its condition of purchase (2008). I had backed up all my data on Mozy. After the restoration of 12 GB of files, the 'Favorites' folder is in C:\Documents and Settings\myusername\favorites. The old shortcuts are in the folder, but I can't have them at my bookmarks Firefox tab. How can I do this?

    You can't do it this way. Those are the Favorites of IE and Firefox can't handle these files. You need to export your IE Favorites in bookmarks.htm format so that you then import this file into Firefox.

    In Internet Explorer:

    File > Import/Export - Export to HTML file

    then in Firefox:

    Bookmarks > show all bookmarks-> import and backup - import HTML... = HTML file

  • Is it possible to move documents and settings to a new hhd folder as you can do with the folder my documents?

    I have a 12g and a 180g hhd. my 12g holds my bones and im running out of room on that. was wondering if I could move the documents and record setting as well as all the files into it without having to copy my operating system on a partition on my disk with greater capacity.

    There is a way, but it is risky and unsupported by Microsoft.  If you try it, make sure you have a good backup of your system and know how to restore a system that won't start plu with it.

  • How can I restore my tabs and groups of tabs after a update to version 36.0?

    I work with many tabs when I use Firefox. I keep classified in groups of tabs, which helps to separate the different children to work I do and interests I have. I have been using this environment for years. When I started my job today, Firefox updated to v36.0, and noted the following behaviors:

    1. There is only one group of tabs when you try to display tabs at Panorama, as opposed to a dozen groups;

    2. normally if the hidden tabs (tabs in the same group as the startup group, and not the default page) downloading of content to what the user clicks on, icon, if any, and the name of the page will show on the tab currently, the tabs display 'New tab' and no icon. It seems, however, the number of tabs that exist across all groups of tabs, but are now ghosts this default value, a group of tabs. I must add, however, I do not count the number of tabs, so I can't be exactly. When you click on it, there is just a blank page. It is so strange that Firefox knows they are there but cannot simply attach the address.

    I tried to restore the following files from my backup of Windows Home Server to the folder AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ .default < gobbletygook >:

    1. in the sessionstore-backups folder, I replaced the files previous.js, recovery.bak and recovery.js (not all of the upgrade ~) with the files yesterday and the day before yesterday.

    When that did nothing, I replaced

    2 sessionCheckpoints.json

    I do not see any file with a recent date that seems to be the one that I have to restore. I should add that I don't see hidden files. I thought about the restoration of the whole of the batch, but didn't know how it would affect the program v36.0 and the profile on 35.0.1 files.

    I have deadlines this week and must immediately restore my environment in order to make these possible. I have no address list on my Web pages to work in IE or other. Any help would be much appreciated.

    On a second note, I had been wondering recently if this tab group environment is an appropriate way to maintain my work environment. Sometimes, during the opening of Panorama, I would get an error saying a script takes too much time, but if I clicked on continue, it would display the groups in a few seconds. I considered bringing it in bookmarks, but it would be tedious and more difficult to access and open several tabs. Initially, I tried tabs groups thinking it was just a matter of maintaining a table of addresses (in tabs) with a name or an ID of tab group. How that might go wrong? Well, there, so it is obviously more complicated than that, and I did not know that upgrades would affect the data of a personal nature. That I should abandon the use of tab groups?

    With the help of information from the user, ptressel, in a post here on the existence of sessionstore.js when version 33 was released, I could easily get my tabs and groups of tabs as follows:

    1. close Firefox and, perhaps, wait a few seconds (30 years?) for any final closing of files;
    2. Check if you have a sessionstore.js file in your profile folder, named as I documented in my original post above.
    3. If this is not timestamped before the discovery of your problem, open the sessionstore-backups folder.
    4. Check if the recovery.js file is properly stamped and, if not, the recovery.bak.
    5. At this point, you are likely to find that none of them is before your problem occurring. If so, open your backups from this folder and go through steps 2 to 4 to find a file before your problem occurring.
    6. When you find a file, copy it to the root of your current profile folder and name it, "sessionstore.js.
    7. Open Firefox. Mine opened upwards as you wish.

    It is a solution for Windows. Sorry I can't comment on other platforms, but I'd bet it's just a copy of file and change of name, it is likely even.

    For Windows users, you can find you must sign out and sign in as administrator in order to access backups. You must not logoff your standard account, but do have Firefox closed as described above.

    Hope that helps.

    Hi Nikki,

    Are a. When you facing this problem?

    B. What is the error message when you try to open the word document?

    If you can't find a file you're looking for, it could have been recorded in or moved to a different folder than you expected, or the file had been sent to the trash.

    You can start the search for the file by using the search folder, but you can also get the file by inspecting folders where you think the file is likely to be.

    Win7 HP SP1

    These files appear in 'Documents', but do not appear in 'My Documents'

    They appear in "Public Documents".

    How can I merge the records of theses and never save in "Public Documents".

    Most is the user created, some files are program files.

    I have a profile of the 'public' on my computer when I connect, but I never use it, unless the office staff has a lot of programs open and I want to watch a movie

    or something I can change user to ease up on the use of the RAM.  Not sure if it is effective.

    examples of FLE: crashdump (empty)?, funny, auction sales of goodwill, agreements of music songs,.

    NativeFus_Log (empty)? , Tango (1The, a download of a messaging application), telescope, Youcam (program)

    There is also a 'my images' and 'Public Pictures', not sure why.

    Thank you!

    Right-click in the document library, click Properties.  Choose here, whether you want the public location to not use (or you can even remove it completely).  You can also choose which location is used as the default save location.

    Monitoring is done through your audio device, no hearing. When you updated your PC, playback of the audio device settings would have been reset. One of them includes the follow-up of the input jack, and that's what you need to restore. Since we do not know which audio device you use, it's all that we can tell you, except that if it is a device internal, you will need to open the volume control options and he change it. It depends on the good OS versions...
