  • I recently did a factory reset on my computer and saved all my files on a flash drive when I load them onto my computer, they look all as internet files explore instead of dreamweaver files, please, help?

    I recently did a factory reset on my computer and saved all my files on a flash drive when I load them onto my computer, they look all as internet files explore instead of dreamweaver files, please, help?

    They probably had the IE icon because Windows automatically associate with IE html files.

    It is of no consequence for your work in Dreamweaver, but you can change this association if you wish.

  • GetFirstFile and GetNextFile while searching for files

    In LabWindows 7.0 "C" I use a wild-card building to search for files in a folder called "PAT_DISKS" below as shown:

    strcpy (work, "c:\\DEVELOPMENT\\PAT_DISKS\\? MS? _DSK_PAT");
    is = GetFirstFile (work, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, name);
    is = GetNextFile (name);

    There are at least three folders corresponding to the criteria of 'PAT_DISKS', but "GetNextFile" are not.

    Is this a bug in LabWindows CVI 7.0?

    Thank you, your answer helped me to find the problem.   As usual, it's between the keyboard and the Chair.  Without realizing it, I was pointing to another folder that I created earlier for debugging purposes.  There was actually only a subfolder so "GetNextFile" function work properly.

  • Deleting files from the Flash drive

    I have a Sandisk Cruzer Edge 16 GB Flash Drive.  I use it with two computers, an iMac and a Macbook Air, both using OS X 10.8.2.  Recently, I loaded about 10 GB of files on it.  I have now deleted these files.  However, Finder always shows the Flash drive as carrying 10.8 GB of files and having only 5,2 GB of available.  When I try to record a 10 GB file on the Flash drive, I get a message saying that there is not enough available space.

    How can I delete uploaded files from the Flash drive so that I can reuse the whole 16 GB?

    I don't use a Mac, so I'm going off the coast of the memory of what I read here before, but I think you need to empty your trash, while the disc is still connected to your Mac.

  • a way to not search for files in windows xp?

    Is there a way to not search for files in windows xp?

    You try to use the Windows Search 4.0 on your Windows. It accelerates the research and you will find the option to omit certain folders or locations where you do not want to search the files of Windows.

    You can download Windows search through Windows updates, or you can download it from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/desktopsearch/default.mspx. More information about windows search, you'll have thie site and some more available under it liks.

  • search for file names with tilde character

    trying to locate all the file name containing the tilde (~) character. It is obviously special for the search as a search looking for files with this character corresponds to each file. I can't find the mechanism to quote the tilde so that Windows will search for files containing the tildes in name literally.

    You expect to be easy to find the answer, but then I found others asking the question. I can't find the answer.

    See the following article on research in Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/75447-search-options.html.  I ' ts faily basic and probably does not cover what you need to know to make the research you are tyring to do.

    I hope this helps.  If not go back and I'll try to find more resources or attempting to do myself to see if I can understand how do.  It seems that Mr. Wizard answered the question before I coulld end my post. The anwer to the 'why' is probably contained in the above items.

  • Search for files based on the flow

    Hi, I would like to be able to search for specific files mp3 and m4a files based on their bitrate, IE search for files with a bitrate to 128KBit.

    I don't know, but is it possible under Windows Vista, or do I need another tool to do?

    Thank you

    Hello trotskyicepick,

    Windows Search does not include a searchable property for the bitrate, but Windows Explorer can indicate the rate on view Mp3 files.  For example, you can sort and filter the search results by bit rate and group your files in this way.

    For example, if the files in question are in your folder of music and its subfolders, click music in the left pane of Windows Explorer.  Now paste this query into the search engine:

    ext:MP3

    Now, right-click on a column heading in the right pane and add the property of spleen in the view. Click the bitrate column header to sort the display rate.  Now click the drop down menu on the same header and choose "near CD quality' in the list.  This filter the search results so that only files recorded to 128 or more appear.

    Unfortunately, the Vista does not support the M4a format, so speeds of transmission of these files are not visible in Windows Explorer.
