Search of files in system folders fails
Although signed as an administrator trying anything I can persuade Windows Explorer to work!
Checked the settings:
Folder options - show hidden files and folders - selected
Hide protected operating system - unchecked files
But the Windows Explorer search finds nothing!
I know that the files is because:
Start, type in the program, for example "MRT".
MRT.exe appears, select, right click, properties
Select "open file location".
It's in "C:\Windows\System32".
So what's the problem?
Windows 7 Professional, all updates
Is that what you all records archived indexing options? By default, search will check all records

Search for files after system recovery
I had to do a system restore on my computer and when I did the description says that all my files would be in a separate folder (photos etc), but after that I did the cover I can't find the files anywhere... Any ideas?
Your best idea would be to contact the manufacturer of the computer for which you used the recovery process.
Ask them where these files are normally saved during / before their recovery process.And you can try looking for a windows.old folder.
See if this applies to you:

Search for files using scripts?
Is it is possible to search for files using Photoshop scripts?
I'm looking for "cat_picture.jpg" but I don't know exactly which folder it is in. Are there commands that will search for and return the path of this file for me?
Thank you
I had copied the functions of xtools/xlib/stdlib.js and munged some of the changes. This is a test version that works:
function getFolders(folder) { if (folder.alias) { folder = folder.resolve(); } return folder.getFiles(function(f) { return f instanceof Folder; }); }; function findFiles(folder, mask) { if (folder.alias) { folder = folder.resolve(); } var files = folder.getFiles(mask); var folders = getFolders(folder); for (var i = 0; i < folders.length; i++) { var f = folders[i]; var ffs = findFiles(f, mask); // files.concat(ffs); This occasionally fails for some unknown reason (aka // interpreter Bug) so we do it manually instead while (ffs.length > 0) { files.push(ffs.shift()); } } return files; };
Use:
var f = findFiles(Folder('~/Desktop/PSE9_CIB'), '*.psd'); $.writeln(f);

I have a folder of files in local folders that keeps reappearing after that I erase it. I tried to fix the folder several times. Any suggestions?
This is the name of a folder? Who will be in a file name in your file system. Given his situation, is it possible or likely that the total path length exceeds the limit of the operating system?
For example: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/file-names-extensions-faq#1TC=windows-7
This is not to talk about any other limit which may be inherent in the way that Thunderbird uses names of files internally.
In your position, I explore the Thunderbird profile and check paths, as they appear in the file manager. You should be able to remove all folders that are unwanted here also.

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.

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.

I need to have access to system folders and get message 'access denied' at every turn, even when I try to change the access permissions to folders. (I am the only user and therefore also the admin on my machine). Specifically, I need to access C:\Documents and Settings\MyUserName\Application data and subfolders and files under that. I would like to have instructions step by step on how to do it. It used to be a fairly simple process in XP, but no more!
Hi Nlightenup,
My suggestion would be (if he allows) take on the folder and its contents.
To do this, following the instructions below1. right click on the folder or file.
2. click Properties, click the Security tab3. click on the advance tab
4. click on the owner tab (you will see an option where it shows a change in ownership)
5. click on the Edit tab and find the user you want to be the owner.
6. turn the user highlighted, click on apply, OK
7. click on OK and then OK again.
If this does not work, try the following article and see if two method: manual works elsewhere.
