Shortcut on the desktop opens the wrong file

Hey guys, unusual problem.

I have two files, then we'll call it A and B.

The folder is located on a shared network drive and I have a shortcut on the desktop to him.

File B is that an outdated copy of the file a. file B is on my office only, not on the shared drive.

Somehow, the folder was lost. I can't explain this, so let's focus on what happened after having lost the file has.

Without a file open, the shortcut on the desktop a file from A now opens file B.

How? I know that you can manually change the path of the shortcut. It is possible that the shortcut automatically changed somehow, because of file B either has a copy of the file? That another person to access the computer outside of myself and I find it doubtful that she would know how to change the path of a shortcut.

I appreciate any idea.

It is possible that the shortcut automatically changed somehow, because of file B either has a copy of the file?

I found that this will change if the file has and B files have the same name. Here's a test case, I just ran.

I created a text document, Memo.txt.

I placed a copy of the Memo.txt to a folder on the D: drive. In this file, I typed, "I'm on D:.

I placed another copy of Memo.txt to a folder on the encrypted drive N:. In this file, I typed, "I'm on N:.

I created a shortcut to the Memo.txt about N: by double-clicking on the file and choose "create shortcut". I cut and pasted this shortcut to remove it from the folder on N: and place it in the folder on D:. Now, the shortcut of N: was now in the same folder as the Memo.txt on d: I looked at the properties of the shortcut to make sure that the target field still contained the path to the folder on N:. He did.

With n: unlocked and therefore accessible. If I double-click the shortcut, and he opened the Memo.txt on n. I know because the text file that displays said, "I'm on N:. I then closed the encrypted drive N: by restarting the computer. This fact: is not accessible. I double-clicked the same shortcut, and to instead open the Memo.txt on N:, he opened the Memo.txt on D:. I know because the text file that appears has said, "I'm on D:. In addition, I looked again on the shortcut properties and the contained target field now the path to the folder on D:. In other words, he had been replaced by Windows.

I have Windows Pro 8.1. I know that in Windows XP, if the target of the shortcut has been moved, Windows would make an attempt to find the new location of the target. I suspect it's still done in Windows 8. And there not much to look at from a file with the same name as the target is located in the same directory as the shortcut. In this case, the difference is that instead of the target being moved, it was simply is no longer available because the drive is on, was no longer accessible.

I moved the documents in the wrong files can I go out and drop them in the correct file

I did a daily newspaper and accidentally creates a different file for each month but penetrated some day diarys bad monthly files. How can I remove them and move them to the right file

The use of the words 'documents' and 'files', I may need more information. A document (for example you can create with a text editor) is a file. The various documents (files) are stored in folders (icon for them looks like a folder of files in an office filing system).

If you have saved a file (document) in a wrong folder, you can go using Windows Explorer (generally you press start and then select "Documents" in the list on the right above the Start button) and navigate to the folder where the file is. Once you've found the file you can right-click on it and select "Cut" (or "Copy" If you want to be sure), then move them to the folder where you want the file and right click in an empty area in this folder and select "Paste". (If you used the copy rather than the option of cutting option, you will then have to go back and delete the file in its original location).

Another way to do the same thing that can be easier would be to open start > Documents and navigate to the folder where the wrong file and then open a second window by clicking Start > Documents again (a second window will not open unless you have navigated to a different location from the location of the opening in the first window). In the second window, navigate to where you want the file to be. With two windows open just click and drag the file from where it is in the first window to where you want it to be in the second window.

If you really did not on folders, please answer with what application (program), you used to create the diary.

import 1 file to the wrong file. How to correct?

First of all, make sure that you have backups of all your photos before doing this.

In Lightroom, drag the folder in the Control Panel folder to the new location of the file where you want it to be.

Another method: in your operating system, COPY (and not move) the photos where you want them to be. then in Lightroom with the right button on the folder and select the folder location of updated and point to the new location of the photos; Once this does not work, delete pictures from their original location using your operating system.

UAC Trust shortcut creates a shortcut in the wrong folder

The first thing after installing windows, I suggest all of my folders profile on the second disc (although properties).

Now, when I try to create a shortcut with UACTS it creates shortcuts in the default (% USERPROFILE%\Desktop) folder, if it exists.

If there is no (for example I delete)-UACTS invites an error message: Please come on a 'name' for the shortcut and program "path".

Windows 7 Ult x 64 Rus latest version of UACTS.

I used a built-in method to move these folders: properties-> Placement-> Move (I'm not sure about titles, I have a Russian version).
Each program works well with it.

You can get the correct paths in the registry:

sqlldr runs, but all data is moved to the wrong file

1235, stove, 1200
1236, gas, 1900

> for openers, you define five fields, but I only see three in your data.

Probably because it attempts to fill two of these fields with a sequence NEXTVAL, SYSDATE.

Because the OP isn't read five columns of data, the FIELDS CANCEL line may have to be this:

fields ended by ',' trailing nullcols

See if this simple change helps. Otherwise, include the run log as noted in Ed. And in case it would be important, include your version.

Edit: Added this additional comment:

May also need to rearrange the columns in your list, does not match the table but to match the order of the data. Changed "calculated" fields Something like this:

fields ended by ',' trailing nullcols

(product_no,

product_nam,

price,

bill_no "seq_mr.nextval"

bill_date "sysdate")

See you soon,.

If I chose the wrong file as defaulf for downloads to go, how can I change?

I use the Download Manager. I hit Yes when asked if I wanted to make the folder indicated by default for next downloads of this type. I didn't do that. How I change the default folder?

Hi belladonna82,

You should take a look on articles where to find and manage downloaded files in Firefox and the Knowledge Base of Startup, homepage, tabs and download settings . They will give you all the details you need. Unless you're talking about the default action and not the download folder? If so, you should look at the Panel Applications - define how Firefox handles different types of files.

Hope this helps!

Downloaded the wrong file type

I just downloaded this image that is labeled ' stripes of Zebra print vector ", but the file type is actually a jpeg file. I hate losing a download on a flat jpeg when I really need vector because it was poorly labeled.
Advice or can download image again appear so I can download the vectorized version?
Thank you!

Hello

I see that this image already mentions the type of file in "JPEG".

While searching for the vector, you can simply select the vector option and then click on search.

Hope that helps!

Lightroom deletes the wrong files! -WARNING

http://regex.info/blog/2013-06-10/2268
WARNING WARNING WARNING
One thing I don't like is a bug related to publish very dangerous which remains in the final 5.0, which can bring you to remove your master images without even realizing account!
The problem is thatindicated in a publication rack selection can be not the real game of selected images, and so when you intend to perform operations (update metadata, delete images, export, etc.) on what you see as the selected images, it might not happen... a completely a different set of images may be affected (updated, remove, exported).
I noticed a similar problem when sending images more in PS. but since the library view.
I select images in LR and send their PS. I edit in PS and close them.
then I go back to LR and select different photos 'try' send them to the PS... instead the SAME images I selected before (and are now disabled) must send to the PS
Thank God I did not remove one of my photos. But if I had deleted the selection-> puff.
of course, I have backups... but this does not alter the seriousness of this bug.
It doesn't always happen. of course not... these nasty bugs happen randomly.
Stay away from LR 5.

Let's stick to this topic please, personal insults are not acceptable here.

Yes, there is a bug that is being investigated, and it's good for people to know about it, so they can avoid it, but let's be cautious and scaremongering. It seems he has been around for a long time.

Save my pictures worked with adobe photoshop 9. keeps telling me unable to open, the wrong type of file and it says it's a "file 2" - How can I change this please

How can I change the type of file it becomes an adobe raf or raw file, it worked with the camera but the pc is save them as files of type 2 and photoshop 9 does not open these. I have a fuji s2 pro if it's any help, thank you.

You can use the free DNG Converter from Adobe, download the file above.

DNG is digital negitive and it's open in Camera Raw Editor.

This converter supports more than 500 different types of camera.

If someone sends you a raw file and your Raw editor does not support this type of camera, you use the converter.

Once converted, you can open it.

The list above shows FinePix S2 Pro, RAF file type,

http://helpx.Adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html

The list above shows Photoshop Elements 9 comes with the Camera Raw plug-in version ... 6.1

Compatible with Camera Raw-plug-in, thanks to the version... 6.5

http://helpx.Adobe.com/cfusion/search/index.cfm?loc=en_US&term=elements%209%20raw%20update

The list above shows that there is an update to Camera Raw in Photoshop Elements 9... 6.3 or 6.5... 6.5 it is better.

It also shows an update for first items 6.4.1 9 If you who also have.

You can also get updates through the app.

However you do not have these updates now since your comes with the version is 6.1 and the

Plug in Camera Raw minimum required version is 1.0

OK... so it shows your camera has not been defined to take RAW images or you downloaded the wrong file in Photoshop.

Most cameras that take RAW images have a framework for Raw images only or adjustment to take RAW images and regular at the same time.

Test your camera again files for RAF types and if you do not check your settings of the camera again.

You can not save or convert a regular image as a type RAW or DNG file.

Need advice - shortcut on the desktop, security warning.
I went through tons of stuff from igor, nancy, jsmith, Weaver, jasper, giles, etc...
I'm just a designer in my team, but we had just started using javafx 1.3 when 2.0 came out last year.
We have our application running javafx2 in the browser or by the start of the Internet link, but a user experience I really want the app to slip to drop on the desktop browser, close to create a shortcut on the desktop action back.
We had him in fx 1.3 but the programmers tell me that it is not available in fx 2.0.
Is this true? I can't get a shortcut created more? or perhaps have not thought of another work around them?

Also since I was attention, we always get up to security warning popup "digital signature of the application cannot be verified" at startup.
I'd love to get rid of it. If I read correctly, even if we pay for a certificate, he appears always just with our name.
We persist info request as the theme users and we allow to paste into the text boxes, but that's all.
I read that we cannot run in the sandbox if we use the "local file system" or "Clipboard", but I want to make sure that that's why we get the warning.

Thoughts?
Creating a shortcut worked for me JavaFX 2.1b16, JDK7u4ea

I generated a jnlp and an html for a NetBeans 7.1 project file.
NetBeans placed the item shortcut in the wrong place in the jnlp, so I moved it in the sub node.
I also set the update policy and check them both forever rather than background to help test.

Can not read the text file: 7 error file not found

Hello

I read a (header.txt) text file that is placed in the same directory as the vi. I use winXP & Labview 8.6. The VI reported an error:

Error 7 open/create/replace the file in OpenTextFile.vi.

However, I copied the path of the file at the end of the error message and pasted into the address bar of IE, and I found that IE can open the file.

Why does this work?

Thank you

The file you connected, Windows 7 vmxf, isn't the .vmx config file and does not have the file, you should be editing! Remove your Windows 7 vmxf file changes and edit the .vmx instead.

Froze on the wrong track

My e260 is having a bad day. I don't know if he's upset because I had a view or what, but this is the problem. There is a bad track on the e260. So I went to plug it into the computer to delete the file. However it is now frozen on the screen "bad track" does not stop and you will not connect to the computer. So how to force a reformat or fix it from here?

Currently, he is in mtp mode as I let someone borrow it and they rocked it.

Thnx for any help

Riley

You should be able to stop by pressing and holding the power button for 15-20 seconds. Just keep holding it. It stops eventually.

If you have a v2, you can force the MSC mode by sliding the HOLD switch on top towards the socket for headphones (orange list), and then pressing on & holding the REW |< button="" while="" at="" the="" same="" time="" plugging="" the="" cable="" into="" the="" bottom="" of="">

Now you should be able to run ChkDsk on it to find and correct the wrong files. Which ' be sure to slide the HOLD switch when finished.

#9 & #12 in the FAQ covers what interests you.
