• Cannot change show Hidden files and folders option, continues to come back to hidden

  Original title: activate the hidden files and folders. -Registry problem! Windows 7

  I had a meeting with a virus, which had a game with my registry so that I cannot view hidden files and folders. Whenever I click on "View files and folders hodden" and then click on folder options, it is by default to "do not show hidden folders and files". I've been browsing around, find people who give advice and I have seen some changes, but it STILL keep diverting back to do not show.

  I am running Windows 7 Profesional x 64

  There are a few default values and checked in 2 subfolders in the shadow folder.

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden

  Any help from people who know a little more about the registry that I do, would be greatly apprechiated.

  Thank you.

  Nick.

• Folder options - view the hidden files and folders

  Hello

  On this same laptop, there seems to be a problem with * Folder Options - Show hidden files and Folders.*

  Every time I have to 'see' this option to display - then I go back to check/confirm the changes - but the box is new 'unchecked '. Despite clicking on apply then Ok to save the changes. The changes are never saved...

  I have used other laptops of this same option and it worked fine.

  Please indicate if I need to apply or change other settings for this to work?

  Kind regards.

  A reasonable explanation from Microsoft for this?
  To be honest I have never heard talk about something like that. ?:|

  Since when you noticed this behavior?
  Have you tried to roll back the BONES to the bygone era? Maybe some update is responsible for this.

  I really hope that someone here will explain why this happen.

• Re: Qosmio G - hidden files and folders is not displayed

  Hi people, I have a few hidden files and folders, which I was able to access the front and I used to click on the "organize tab" display, advanced settings, display the files and folders to hide or show hidden files.

  Unfortunately, there seems to be a problem, I just can't access my hidden files and folders, even when I go through this method.
  someone help me please as soon as possible...

  Thank you

  Hi aaz911,

  First of all, it would be nice of you if you post information on your laptop model and the operating system. This must be done always to get a detailed response.

  In any case, I never heard of this problem, but make sure that all files will be displayed:
  Start Windows Explorer > tools > Folder Options > view and enable the following options:
  -Files and folders hidden: display the hidden files and folders
  -Hide protected operating system files (this should be disabled > unbranded).

  In addition you will find these missing files by using Windows search?

  If this isn't the case, I suppose the files are deleted from someone or due to a virus. :(

• How to display the hidden files and folders even if I've already enabled "Show hidden files, folders and drives" to "Advanced settings"?

  How to display the hidden files and folders even if I've already enabled "Show hidden files, folders and drives" to "Advanced settings"?

  After I enabled "Show hidden files, folders and drives" in 'Advanced settings', I can't yet see in the folder but I know there is a file in this program of WinRAR folder form as pictured below where I opened the case both at the same time.

  

  Hope you can help in this case...

  It would be possible that the file is marked as a system folder (which is just a check box in properties such as the hidden check box). So in your folder options, uncheck the "Hide protected operating system files" and see if it will be visible.

  Or another thing to try: remonter back a level, hold down SHIFT while you right-click the complete file and choose "Open command window here", then type DIR to see if the file is listed.

• Hidden files and folders

  I have questions about the hidden files and folders. I hope someone can give me the right answer that will be only one of the four that I would ask.

  Q. hidden files or folders cannot be seen by any user?

  Q. is visible by the main user

  Q. is using by operating systems for its work

  Q. don't are not usually published directly

  The answer may be only one of these options.

  Hello

  By default, some files are hidden.  If some of these files are edited, moved, renamed, or deleted, you could damage your operating system. They are hidden for a reason.

  Q. hidden files or folders cannot be seen by any user?

  A. you can see hidden files if you wish. Here's how to display.

  1. Go to the start menu and type options records.
  2. Hit enter or click on the result.
  3. Go to the view tab.
  4. Under hidden files and folders, select display the drives, folders and hidden files.
  5. Optional: If you wish, you can uncheck Hide protected (recommended) operating system files.  I'd keep that checked if I were you.
  6. At the bottom, press apply or OK.

  Q. is visible by the main user

  A. If the user follows the instructions above, they can see it.  So the answer is no, everyone can see the hidden files and folders.

  Q. is using by operating systems for its work

  A. most of them is.  For example if you remove one of your hidden personal documents, the file is not critical for the operating system.  If you delete system32 (do not remove it!)however, Windows stops working immediately.

  Q. don't are not usually published directly

  A. the personal files (photos, documents, videos, etc.) can be changed.  Operating system files can not be changed.

  If all goes well, which erases any misunderstanding.  Please let me know if you have any other questions.

• Files and folders-photo will not delete, keep the reproduction

  Windows XP, Internet Explorer 8,.

  I try to delete multiple photos and whenever I hit ctrl, hold down the key and left click on photos, remove, they breed

  and now I have more than 68 copies of less than 10 images, help!

  Windows XP, Internet Explorer 8,.

  I try to delete multiple photos and whenever I hit ctrl, hold down the key and left click on photos, remove, they breed

  and now I have more than 68 copies of less than 10 images, help!

  ==============================================
  Unwanted copies have file names with
  copy "prefix of"?

  Example: Copy of IMG_1455.JPG

  If_yes_maybe the following tutorial, I wrote
  for XP offers a few ideas:

  Also... There is a link to another method
  at the end of this tutorial.

  Here's how to reproduce the unwanted
  copy of...

  Hold down your CTRL key and select multiple files...

  Place your pointer over the selected group
  (holding the key ctrl) and left click / drag
  the group even just the slightest bit... now
  release the mouse button.

  Oooops... multiple copies...

  Maybe the following will help:

  Sometimes most of the person who
  trying to select multiple by holding the CTRL
  or the SHIFT key down while clicking on the left to select the
  image files.

  Copies are created when you are unable to
  completely release the mouse button before
  you move the pointer to another file. When a group
  the selected file is dragged... even the slightest
  release the mouse button will produce a bit...
  copies of all the files previously highlighted.

  It's a little easier if you have your folder
  Options set at single click... that way you can
  select/deselect a file with just a mouse more
  and you don't have to click. For multiples you
  I have to keep... CTRL or Shift.

  Do not click on... no slip... no copy... maybe that of
  your solution. To adjust the click...
  Open a folder and go... Tools / folder
  Options / General tab... Check... 'single click '.
  To open an item"/ apply / OK.

  If you want to delete all the files in a folder
  You can try the following:

  Reach... Edition / select all... or type... CTRL / has...

  With all of the files selected... go... Drop / delete...
  or press your delete key... or... click on the
  Group and choose 'delete '.

  How do I find and remove unwanted 'copies '.
  of your image files.

  Open the folder that the images are saved in and
  on the left, click on the button 'Search' in your toolbar.

  (If you view the files from a montage
  program and do not know where the record is... right
  Click on one of the image files and the menu...
  choose... Properties. The path to the folder will be
  in the tab 'General' to 'Place').

  In the research pane select... "All files and folders".

  In the "All or part of the file name" field. Come in...

  a copy of

  Now... on the left, click on the search"" button.

  When the search is complete... go to... Edition / select all...

  Then go to... Remove / delete.

  You will see a dialog box asking if you are sure
  you want to delete the files, click Yes.

  Now... on the left, click on the 'Back' button in your toolbar.

  Now the remaining files should be your originals.

  If you delete the wrong files... recover from
  your basket now.

• Unlock the file and folder attribute does not work in LV 2012

  Hello

  I use unlock attribute to unlock a file (defined in the specification to build installer-> settings of the Source file-> file and folder attributes). This Setup program installs the application in Program Files (Win7 x 64) and when the application is started it creates a file in the folder "unlocked". I've used it several times with LV 2011, but it does not work with LV 2012 (the folder is not unlocked)? An example for LV 2012 (without installation) is fixed, the same example works if I build with LV 2011.

  I received an email from support TODAY:

  "As we have it, I analyzed the behavior you described ' unlock folders and files not working not. '"
  The error could be reproduced. It was also successfully detected and documented.
  The development team is working on this and the next update may have already solved this problem. »

  I hope that this will soon be :-).

• 8.6.1 HELP and TOOLS-> OPTIONS does not

  Hi, after installing 8.6.1 I am not able to access using any function except on the functions of the package tools.  The help context works, but there is no detailed help (with the exception of the Toolbox functions).  If I access it using LabVIEW, the window displays the tree on the right, but when I click on any of the elements without help appears in the right window.

  Also when I click on tools-> options \_launchhelp.vi which he never finds he's looking for, so I can't change the options of LabVIEW is.

  I installed using the DVD Developer Suite, I don't think that there is an explicit option to select Help.  I have installed at D:\program files, would it be a problem if you do not install in C:?

  I uninstalled previous versions before installing 8.6.1.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  It seems that you are installing to corrupt and to a certain extent.

  You can repair you are setup by going to: Control Panel-> software-> of National Instruments. Then you get a dialog box in which you can select LabVIEW 8.6.1 and REPAIR.

  If it still does not work, you can always contact your local sales office for support.

• Unchecking read only attribute on files and folder, subfolders does not persist

  I'm trying to disable the read-only attribute in the properties of a folder in the file system.  I uncheck this attribute, I say, too, that he would do that by clicking on apply, then it does to all files, folders, and subfolders... etc and it does.  Then I click ok to close the properties box.  If I reopen it the properties box, the read only attribute is on again once.  I tried several times but keep having the same problem.  I am logged in as administrator.

  How to keep turning off the read-only attribute?

  Do you mean that the read-only box is blue? This does not mean that the read-only attribute is on.
