  1. the first thing to do is to make sure that the computer is completely virus/malware-free. Googling around this error produced quite a few links where the posters were or had been infected with Spyware Protect 2009 rogue.

  Once the scanning is complete (do not skip the preparatory stages no more), if the problem persists:

  2. double-click on my computer, right-click the icon for your hard drive, click left to get its properties. If you see options to set Quota management make sure that they are disabled.

  3. in the case - BUT ONLY AFTER YOU ARE sure THAT THE MACHINE IS MALWARE/VIRUS-FREE - copy the lines between asterisks (not including the asterisks) below and paste it into Notepad. Save as undopolicy.reg somewhere, you will find. And then double-click the .reg file, that you have just made to melt in your registry. I hope that this will take care of the issue.

• Server 2008, XP roaming profiles and "cannot create a file when that file already exists"...

  Hi all

  I'm working on a Server 2008 domain with XP SP3 clients.  The question is: create a new user, their profile is \\server\profiles\%username% [where %nom user % is their new username!].  Security on the profile folder is set so that the administrators have full access and the user has read & execute, list folder content, read and write access.

  The user is able to login ok there is no problem with roaming profiles [otherwise, they would get a message on with a temporary profile loading] which suggests, but when they disconnect they get a message saying that some files could not be created [it varies], followed by "cannot create a file when that file already exists".

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

• Had to reload operating system and applications data, now can't get firefox to recognize the profile data

  My C drive (disk solid state drive), which held my operating system and data from the app crashed. I had it replaced, updated Win 7 to win 10 and have downloaded Firefox. I was able to restore my profile from a Mozy backup data and copied in the Firefox folder. But Firefox resolutely refuses to recognize. I tried using the recovery data from an old profile, but no advantage help page. Tried to use the Manager profile, but without success. When I go to Troubleshooting Information and click on file/Show profile, it comes up with a list of files (files starting with bookmarkbackups, which however is empty, down for webapps, which has the file inside webapps.json), then the files from addons.json down through xulstore.json and the file places.sqlite is 10 240 KB Although there is something in there, but Firefox resolutely refuses to acknowledge my profile, bookmarks, etc..

  I'm out of options and ripping my hair out trying to get all my favorites, in which I have a lot of information such as the authentication of data for many favorite sites. It is frustrating that all the information seems to be there, but Firefox ignore all.

  Can anyone help?

  Such a backup is perhaps a ZIP archive containing all the files into it if it is not a real file, but only one file.

  Note is that you replace the file places.sqlite with a copy of the backup that you have to make sure to remove existing places.sqlite - shm and temporary files to SQLite places.sqlite - wal.
  Ditto for the other SQLite files that you are restoring.

  Have you checked the application.ini file in the backup?

• cache and application data

  Can remove the data from the application of CS3 CS4 CS5's bridge cache takes up a huge upstream of the space.

  All PS versions use different versions of cache.  So, if you need to view images of CS3 or CS4 without having to wait for cache rebuild if you deleate the cache.  Not much really because most do not use older versions of bridge.

  If you plan to uninstall CS3 and 4. know that some users experience problems with file associations.  For some strange reason if you have installed CS5 and uninstall then CS4 file associations can return to CS4.  Unless you really need the hd space, it is best to let a sleeping dog lie.

• Roaming profiles

  I have a Server 2008 R2 x 64 server running on ESXi 4.1 class. I have Setup roaming profiles and a Grouppolicy to remove updates copies cached roaming profile. Whenever user1 disconnects a local profile is created it is to say, user1.domain.000, user1.domain.001 and user1.domain.002.

  The only thing in there is AppData\local\VMware\HGFS.dat. Someone knows why this is created

  This is a known issue. See http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1317 on how to solve it.

• Copies nested in the Application Data folder

  Running Windows 7 64 bit.  In my c:\Documents and Settings\All Users folder there is a folder of application data.  If I develop this folder I find what appears to be a complete copy of all the 'All Users' files, including another folder "Application Data".  If I develop this folder, I get another copy of everything, including (guess youe), "data Applications.  Extend only one, same thing... That's at least 27 levels.  What's happening?

  Bill

  Hello TucsonBill,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Forum!

  (a) are you referring to the application data folder?

  However we have folder AppData is hidden and Documents and settings can be found on the command prompt.

  Try to run an online virus scan to remove the malware running on the computer, please scan online by visiting the following link:

  http://OneCare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm

  In Windows Vista and Windows 7, the local settings and Application data have been replaced by a single folder, % userprofile%\AppData\Local.

  In order to accomplish the appropriate redirection, you need two junctions:

  (1) a junction of local settings, which will transmit programs going
  %USERPROFILE%\Local settings in the new folder.

  (2) the junctions of an Application Data * inside the new folder * that points to itself, to get the programs to access the data in % userprofile%\LocalSettings\Application.

  If you think about it, it makes sense... when the program accesses local parameters, it will get passed in the folder, it should be in, however, it also accesses a folder named Application Data * in the correct folder it needs * (since it has already been redirected by the junction of local settings), so the junction of Application data should point to itself that things are working properly.

  I suggest you check the security settings on your Application data junction (C:\users\yourname\appdata\local) (you will need to select display operating system files in folder options in Explorer window).

  Go to the Security tab, click Advanced, then change and make sure that you see a refuse permission for everyone on the list.

  If it is not a list, create a 'all' and check the box under Deny next of ' read the file / data list.

  I hope this information helps. Please get back to us if you have any other questions on this subject.

• Slow connection, non-persistent desktops... of roaming profiles?

  OK everyone I have a good, we use view 4.0.1 build-233023 and when we use no sticky Windows XP Pro 32-bit desktop computers, we run into the question of a slow connection during the period where Windows applies the user 'custom settings '.  The delay is not terrible, but it will cause colic.  I'm assuming that this delay occurs because the user does not have a profile on the newly created virtual machine.

  We experimented with roaming profiles AD and so far there is no help.  Does anyone have ideas to avoid the "custom setting event?  We would really like to non-persistent work stations, like those persistent management is not really feasible in view 4.0.

  Thanks for the help everyone!

  I had this problem and it took me about two months to get my picture gold until I was satisfied by the research, the trial & error and much rebuilt.

  I used a combination of non-persistent computers, folder redirection, of roaming profiles and I have disabled all the tricks of custom setting (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/238441) and now my pictures are very alive and work perfectly for my environment (school).

  I suppose that you have set records in your goldy and optimized it for sodomy.  Because before I did that my image has been sluggish on login.  The performance difference between my old image and the new image is like night and day.

  Good luck!

• Downloads of CHC in application data creates a problem with my roaming profile

  I have a roaming profile with a size of 150 MB limit in Windows XP

  CHC files are automatically downloaded to the application data folder in this profile

  I have remove the chc files to another location

  Can someone explain how I can inform the new location of the CHC files FlashBuilder.

  AND - even better - how to organize that CHC files are downloaded to the location of my choice instead of the folder application data?

  Hi Kunlob_1 - what are CHC files?  What you download to get these CHC files?  We are trying to help you, but do not have enough information to understand your problem.

• Launch of non-functional quick toolbar. Folder of application data for this profile accidentally moved to the Cookies folder, cannot move to the right place and make quickstart functional again.

  Toolbar start fast is the only app that has problems.  I can't start him because I have no permissions.  As this occurred, the Application Data folder somehow finished in the Cookies folder for this account.  It cannot be carried over to the location appropriate without disabling the Quick Launch toolbar.

  Hi lcynicl,

  See if the paths to the shell in the registry file is correct. If this isn't the case, you may need to restore those which is incorrect. Use the table here:

• A problem with the Redirection of folders and roaming profiles - Adobe Flash file

  This thread is in relation to a thread started for the Google Chrome browser.  Admins also suggested I have create a post here.  The link to the bug can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=97512

  This is the first post on the forums of Chrome:

  Here students use Windows 7 with redirection folders and roaming profiles.

  When in Chrome (any version) and they try to attach a file to an e-mail or upload a file to a site, a 'Find a file' window appears.  When they try to locate the file on their desktop or document file, Chrome hangs for a minute then prompt a user to enter their credentials. Even with the correct credentials prompt says access denied.

  If a local user without a roaming profile or the folder redirection tries the same thing that everything works as should.

  This problem does not occur in Internet Explorer (all versions) or Firefox (all versions)

  The "Search a file" window that appears resembles that of Windows XP, not the other from Vista or Windows 7.

  I also believe that I have posted here before on this topic, but can't seem to find the problem.

  Basically, right now I tell students not to use Chrome to download or attach data.

  I also confirmed AppData folder redirection to be a default/limitation in Flash Player 11 plugin... but only for Google Chrome built-in version of Flash Player 11 (usually located in the Chrome installation folder).  The version of Adobe (usually located in the Adobe installation folder) do not have this problem for me.

  Fortunately, Chrome allows you to install the version of Adobe if you want. I have disabled the plugin provided with Google Chrome and Google Chrome Frame, and my users were able again to use my Flash application:

  1. Google Chrome: type chrome://plugins/ in the URL
     Google Chrome Frame for IE: enter gcf: topic: plugins in the URL
  2. Click "Détails" to expand the list of plugin
  3. Scroll down to Flash
  4. If you have only one version and it is located somewhere in a folder of Chrome, then disable it, close your browser, reopen it, visit http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer and install the version of Adobe.
  5. If you have several versions, disable the version in the Chrome folder and try to use your Flash application again.

  It worked for me; your mileage may vary...

• Is there a way I can restore my backup profile that I took from a folder (for example Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\)

  Before re-installing Firefox 19, I took by mistake backup my profile in a folder - C:\Documents and Settings\garan14\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles and not from C:\Documents and Settings\garan14\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles.

  When installing, I chose option "Delete old profiles" and I don't see any old folder under C:\Documents and Settings\garan14\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles profile.

  However, I have a lot of important data stored under that profile that has now been deleted.

  Is there a way I can restore the old profile data? (PS: as stated above, I have a backup of the profile folder that is located under the Local Settings folder)

  I'm in a desperate need for aid. Pls reply as soon as possible.

  Firefox stores only cache files to the location of the local settings and not the files in the main folder of the Firefox profile.
  
  There is no need to save this place in local contexts in any case.

  The main folder of the Firefox profile is in "C:\Documents and Settings\ < user > change Data" on Windows XP.

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

  If you have deleted your personal data during the uninstallation of Firefox and do not have a backup then your only option is to use an undelete utility to see if you can recover this profile folder.

• It is a group policy setting that allows Silverlight store data for a roaming profile user limited account?

  We have customers that use our Silverlight application. Application off because errors that the software is not able to store data about user roaming profile folder. So far, developers have a setting which allows the application to be listened to, but that makes it real slow. We try to get out of that. So my question is there a group policy setting they are system administrator can setup to allow Silverlight to store data for a roaming profile user limited account? Maybe allow data to be written locally only to the specific folder that requires Silverlight?

  Thank you!
  Carlos.
