$ sign in front of the files in my documents

Hello world

We have users that claims these files of various types, preceded by a $ 'appear' in the folder my documents.

These don't seem to be of the ~ files lock $ you seem sometimes to MS Office (and some are clearly of pdf), etc. And I'm empty, search the Web for an answer to come. The user is working remotely, so I have not had the opportunity to open again (which may or may not be useful), but I was wondering if anyone has seen this before, or have clues as to where they come from?

Only if there is serious corruption virus / malware...

    Hello

    If you mean the ~ character, is a temporary document used by Word, a document with almost the same name is open. When Word of the original, the ~ file normally gets deleted. But if Word or Windows ends abnormally these files can be left in the file system. Most of the people would not see them because they work without showing the files and folders hiddden.

  • on the desktop and the names of the files in My Documents, the words are underlined

    I am running XP, Sp 3;  IE8;  Email in Mozilla Thunderbird that I don't know if I checked the correct section; If this isn't the case, could you send it to the right place?  Thank you.

    After a recent update of Windows, my computer went haywire.  Everything is affected.  I'll get a fixed thing, and something goes wrong.  Try to correct this, and the thing original mess up again.  Here is what happened.

    1 got everywhere too small font sizes.  E-mails, documents, anywhere there is the text.

    2. no don't fix takes care of everything.  The fonts changed for those unfamiliar in an e-mail, documents, office, where I used to have a type and font size for a page, it changes: the body of the email will be unique size, the toolbars and menu drop-down dialog boxes boxes another, each different section on the page is a different size and mixed fonts.

    3. the last thing when I tried to fix something, is emphasized.  The text under the icons on the desktop are underlined.  In 'My Documents', the name of all the files and folders are underlined and the style of police and the size has changed.

    4. at one point, I had the body of emails fixed (can't remember how); the next thing I know the text is on a PT. 6 I want to 12 or 10.  I started to email a few minutes ago and the text was so small, I couldn't read it so stopped.  When this happened, the toolbars and some of the other font sizes returned nearby, original or original.

    It's midnight; I've been at this for hours and just, it's even worse.  There are probably other things wrong, but I'm so exhausted, I can't think.  I had hoped there was a magical place, I could go that would put everything back as it was before the update of Windows.  Please, can you help me?   Thank you very much.

    I checked for viruses and I did not.

    Hi AnnP1937,

    You can try chaning windows fonts in Internet Explorer and check.

    Method 1:

    To change the size of the font in internet explorer, see the link below.

    Internet Explorer Zoom lets you enlarge or reduce the view of a Web page. Unlike changing font size, zoom enlarges or reduces everything on the page, including text and images. You can zoom from 10% to 1000%.

    Zoom in on a Web page

  • Error "Windows explore has stopped working" when you open the file in my documents

    Original title: opening a file in the folder my documents

    Whenever I try to open a file in my documents folder, specifically a CV that I downloaded on a construction site. I get a message that windows Explorer has stopped working?

    Hi dalintn,

    1. What is the file format of the document?

    2. are you able to open documents from other locations?

    3. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    Check if the similar problem persists when you access the document from any other location on the computer.

    Method 1

    This error message can occur if there is some system files corrupted on your computer. I suggest that you run a SFC scan, which would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

    The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista installation CD.

    For more information please visit the link below.

    How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails then I would suggest that you do clean boot and check.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

  • The file is signed with digital signature is broken, published by: VideoSoft

    When I run the antivirus it comes up with the following legend:

    The file is signed with a digital signature that is broken, published by: VideoSoft

    Windows\System32\Vsflex6.ocx

    Help

    Thank you

    Hi Charlydue,

    A digital signature is an electronic security mark that can be added to the files. It allows you to verify the Publisher of a file and helps verify that the file has not changed since it has been digitally signed.

    If the file does not have a valid digital signature, has no way for you make sure that the file is actually from the source, of what he wants, or that he didn't has not been tampered with (possibly by a virus) since its publication. It is safer to avoid opening the file unless you know for certain who created it and if the content is safe to open it.

    Even a valid digital signature does not verify the content of the file is harmless. You need to decide if you should trust the contents of the file based on the Publisher's identity and where you download the file from.

    Try upgrading to the latest version of VideoSoft and check if the error disappears. Also, contact the software vendor for assistance.
