Shortcuts to my pictures, my music and my videos is locked?

These "Access denied" shortcuts appear under Libraries\Documents\My Documents in two administrative accounts on an old computer with Windows SP1, newly installed at home since an OEM Setup disk.  (Usual folders my pictures, my music and my videos also appear directly under Libraries\Pictures, Libraries\Music and Libraries\Videos and * * are available.)  One that is inexplicably locked administrators is C:\Documents and Settings.  These locked folders/shortcuts appear or not hidden files or system files are enabled in Windows Explorer/Tools/Folder Options/View tab.  These two seem to be driven by check the box "Refuse" to "the folder list / read data" under Properties/Security/Advanced/permissions/edit the permissions/all the world/change. These locked elements do not, however, appear in a Standard user account or no hidden files or system files are activated.  I have not tinkered with the NTFS permissions on the volume C:\.

I also have a newer computer, installed in OEM WIndws 7 SP1 which does not show either [correction follows:] locked shortcuts or the C:\Documents and Settings folder.  Although locked shortcuts are probably not a problem, I used to look in the folder C:\Documents and Settings of an administrator account in Windows XP.

Are these from manifestations of a deeper problem, or must they be ignored?  They can / should be corrected?  If so, how can it be done safely? -JCW2

No, those are shortcuts of compatibility.  The 'Documents and Settings' for example, which is not really a folder.  It was at the time of Windows 98, but now it's just 'users' (to make it easier to translate, the shortest path and remove spaces that are annoying when writing scripts and coding).

But some programs do not have a variable name, they want a real spelled exactly 'Documents and Settings' folder and these bad programs crash if they can't find it.  The same programs usually crash when they ran on a different language of comptuer, because obviously the name of the folder will not be stated this way in another language.

So for compatibility, a redirection of folder called a junction is placed instead.  You see access denied, but if a program tries to 'write' in this folder, it will be automatically redirected to the proper place.

You can hide these junctions of compatibility by defining your default folder Options View tab.

  • I use Windows XP SP3 and cannot open My Documents, my pictures, my music and my computer

    Original title: can not open files

    I use Windows XP SP3 and cannot open My Documents, my pictures, my music and my computer. I get no errors, but nothing happens when I click on one of them.

    Hello

    Thanks for the reply. I managed to solve the problem before you receive your advice to defragment my hard drive. I had the problem on / off power for about six months and defragmentation has not always been successful success so when it happens then I will go through the procedures that you have listed. I have installed and uninstalled various applications in the last six months and suspect that the register is not in optimum condition... I have a problem during a shutdown or reboot stop where I get an error of tfswctrl.exe I close and the system then hangs and requires a medical examination. Is there, by chance, a Microsoft utility that cleans up the registry for applications that have been uninstalled, but be persistent pieces that shouldn't be there?

    Thanks again for your advice.

    iCloud is a synchronization system, not a storage system. If you delete photos/videos on your iPad, they are removed to iCloud. To increase the available space, go settings/iCloud/Photos and select optimize iPhone/iPad storage.

  • Audio setting on the music and the video track separately?

    Hey everybody. I am a new user of first old clip and I didn't open the app on my phone for a while. I really appreciate all the new and improved features. One thing I had a lot of trouble to determine is if I could change the volume of a music track discreetly of the audio in the video track itself? Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but I played a bit with the audio settings and found them a bit confused.

    Thanks a lot for your time!

    -quin

    Hello Quin,

    Welcome to Clip you can both edit your soundtrack and audio video independently.

    To adjust the volume for your soundtrack, press the icon of music on the top of your screen. Once in the menu of the soundtrack, move the Volume slider to the desired level.

    To adjust the volume of a video clip, select the item in the sequence, press the speaker on the bottom of your screen icon. From there you can mute or increase or decrease the volume using the volume slider.

    I hope this helps!

    Best,

    Hello! After returning from standby or locking screen, a process called 'Receiver of Thinkpad messages for shortcut shortcut keys' begins to use about 30% of the CPU.

The end in this way, once it restarts even if I use sleep or lock the screen. Need help with this!

    I bought some songs from itunes, but I can't pull them up to the computer so that I can use on my slideshow.  I also need to convert a video from my camera in a format so that I can use in the creation of dvd.

    What you need is a DVD burning software. You can take a test for a DVD Creator.
    And the one I use now is the Best DVD Creator. It is able to burn videos on a DVD to all popular formats of video/audio with ease.
    Or alternatively, you can use WIndows DVD Maker to burn movies on DVD, here's the download link.

  • I need help I downloaded music and the drive external on the C drive in windows media player and everything is now copywrited and unavailable

    I'm so frustrated.  I recently downloaded my drive external hard music and family video on my new computer on windows media player.  I have literally thousands of songs and it has been downloaded to the C drive, but when I try to play anything, an exclamation point is in front of each song and I am unable to listen to it.   Then a page comes from microsoft about copyrights etc. and tells me to download windows 7 (a dictation of direction page 17), but I have windows 8.  Please help me to release my music that I downloaded from the years of music collection.   Also, if I pick the music on the start menu, in that it sets my X - box and only 5 cd that I downloaded on this computer appear and I can't get out of the Xbox and would like to get out.  Thanks, Rachellynn5555

    The message you see seems to indicate that the music is protected against copying and that you can transfer a limited number of times.  This is common for music from many online stores.

  • My Documents contains shortcuts to my music, my pictures, and my videos

    In Explorer Windows Win 7 (64), libraries for My Documents, my music, my pictures, and my videos are correctly displayed.

    However, the left pane shows that in My Documents, in addition to personal folders, I created, there are shortcuts for my music, my pictures, and my videos. These show that access is denied when I click on them.

    If I select My Documents in the left pane the three shortcuts are not displayed in the right pane.

    How can I remove or delete these shortcuts in the left pane display in My Documents?
    Thank you

    They are shortcuts, so you can right-click / they / them and click on delete.

    Shortcuts always display the curved right arrow symbol,.

    Then right click the libraries list and click on restore default libraries.

  • How to remove 'music' and 'pictures' of the right pane of the start menu?

    How can I remove the 'music' and 'pictures' option in the Panel of the start menu right?  When I right click on them, there is no option to remove or delete (as some forums suggest).  When I go to customize the start menu, everything (Panel, Favorites, videos, etc) except these two are listed.  Can anyone help?

    Well well well, you will look like this?  When you mentioned "libraries", I remembered that a few weeks ago I was cleaning the menus and screens under WMP and apparently I went in organizing-> customize the navigation pane and unchecked near pretty everything in there.  I just went and restored these options by default and viola ~ music and images options are coming back as if by magic.  Do not understand the logic behind this, but the problem is now resolved.  Thank you.

  • How to copy a slide show on my desktop for a dvd disc? It has music and pictures on it.

    I made a slideshow with music and images and it works fine on my computer I want to burn to disc dvd, how do I do this?

    Hi Daniel,.

    I think that the simple article will answer your question: http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-copy-your-digital-image-slideshow-to-dvd.pageCd-storyboard, pageNum - 1.html.

    This article may be a little more in tune with what you try to do with what you have.  Procedures are very detailed: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/computer-tips/dvd-photo-slideshow/.

    The following article covers the process in a series of questions and the second to last covers how to include audio and the last how to burn the DVD.  http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Burn-a-DVD-Video-disc.  If necessary or useful, see additional article links along the right edge of the item for more information and details (and with those, do the same) and finally you will get to see all that Microsoft has on the topic regarding the useful articles.  It will take longer than the other items, but will give you a deeper understanding of the entire process (and may be the best way to start to learn the basics and then move from there to an article on the procedure that seem you so much easier to understand (and can change the way that you want to create the slide show).)

    It is a little more detailed (and at the same time less detailed), but covers how more info on how to create the slide show that the way to move physically to a DVD, but it can be useful, I included it: http://www.ehow.com/how_4797332_dvd-slideshow.html.

    I suspect the first or the second will be the most useful - if the third gives the best overview, if you follow through all the articles referenced as well.

    If your problems persist, please explain what exactly goes wrong and where, and we'll try to troubleshoot it.  If that proves to be too much trouble, we will download a special burning software and do it directly - but I had rather you try these options first because they are simpler and should be available and are already well explained (as I need to explain this another solution much more in detail because it is not prepared in advance anywhere).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Is it possible to synchronize music and photos from iTunes from multiple computers?

    We have two MacBook Pro - one for me and one for my children.

    Currently, I manage all the music and pictures via my Mac (synchronization of iOS devices), so there is a place for all the music and photos.

    However, children now want to be able to manage their own music and photos.

    Is it possible to synchronize music or photos from multiple computers? for example:

    -Sync Mac and pictures of the other music

    -Synchronize Mac music

    Thank you

    The key thing here is not the machines it's libraries. Devices can synchronize an iTunes library at a time. You have to arrange if both computers have the same library (problems with maintaining them synchronized or using at the same time), or seek a centralized service such as game or music from Apple (with her own set of questions).  The key is that the media distributors wish to exercise tight control over how music and movies can be shared (they don't care about your photos).  You can do things with the homepage of sharing with family.

    Family shares - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT201060 - "family sharing makes it easy for up to 6 people in your family share of each and other iTunes, iBooks, and App Store purchases without sharing accounts.» Families with the same credit card purchases and approve kids' expenses directly from the device of a parent.

  • Green vertical lines / tracks audio FX of detachment and the music of the video clip

    iMovie 10.1 on El Capitan

    This isn't a simple modification / detach Audio edition.  Is delete an image only without deleting the other independent music and audio tracks FX built under it (not worth original audio with the image).

    I built FX and music tracks on a video that has many Visual changes (with some images just by music).  Now, I want to change a few images, but when I cut the video image, some FX and music under it also disappears (tracks built under the image, not shot with it).

    It seems that green vertical lines under the picture (in the time line) are tying in various capacities, although these FX and music tracks run far beyond the video image and were not turned with the video image.

    How can I remove those green vertical lines and detach these multiple audio tracks of the image I want to cut?  Thank you.

    Yes, if you delete a video file or even attached with audio clip, the audio will be deleted also.  You must move the anchor (green line) to an adjacent element.  To do this hold command and alt (option) key down and click on in the half superior audio clip (or in the clip of Cup or title) where you want the connection be moved on.

    (If there is no synchronization issues you can simply change the audio if it is related to another clip, and then quarterback after the change of the image.)
