Some of my library files are hidden in Windows 7

Some of my library files are hidden for a reason, such as music, documents and pictures.  My download folder is not.  I know they are there; I went to Union - folder and search - options display the files and folders and they appear, but Misty as they are hidden.  So I checked the files they point, they were awarded 'hidden', so I not hid them, still foggy folders shortcuts and hidden.  I can't select an attribute for the shortcut when I right click on say that the images in the left pane.

What's wrong?  Can anyone tell me please where to change it, so I can fix it.

Hello

You did it changes on the computer before the problem started?

By default, the folders in the library (images, music, documents and videos) are displayed and you cannot hide.

Follow these steps and check if it solves the problem:

Step 1: Resetting folder view settings.
a. click on tools in the menu bar of Windows Explorer window and choose Folder Options.
b. in the Folder Options window, select the view tab and click on the button Reset records.
c. you will be asked to confirm if we reset all folders of this type to the default view configuration, click Yes.

Step 2: download and run the tool fixit from the link below:
Diagnose and repair Windows files and folders problems automatically

Step 3: perform a system restore to restore the computer to an earlier point in time before the problem started.

  • System 32 - these files are hidden.

    When I restart my computer, windows xp, a blue window lights up and says: repressive 32 - these files are hidden.

    It sounds as if there is an incorrect boot entry in the Windows registry.

    Sometimes the problem is a simple "characters in a path name where it should be two.  See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=170086

    It can also be caused (especially on Dell computers) by a boot for his SB Audigy 2 card entry, although it is a very old problem that I expected to have been fixed now.  Remove the space before the value /L:ENG.  Or you can remove all of the SB Audigy 2 key - but it will be re-created the next time that you run the SB Audigy 2 application.

    The places in the registry to check are

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run

    If you do not want to messing around in the Windows registry (as well be), follow these steps:

    • Click on start and then run.  In the box 'Opens', type msinfo32, and then click OK.
    • In the system information window, click on the + next to "Software Environment".
    • Then click on "startup programs".

  • deleted files are hidden

    Hello

    It is a strange thing, I deleted several mp3 files (at least 70 titles) of my Sansa Clip (I used my Mac), but the files are still somewhere on the player. I tried a search with all the tools I could find (including some software to find names of files starting with a dot, they are deleted), I tried my Windows PC (Win7)... nothing has worked. I always get the information, that there is some hidden files on the disk, but not where they are and how I could find them.

    What can I do?

    Thank you very much

    Thank you very much for your answer, I handed my Sansa on and empty my trash, but nothing has changed. I might have to try reformatting...?

    Someone else posted this same scenario a few days ago. If you empty your trash before you pull the plug, I think that you miss your chance and cannot re - connect to. So yes, re-formatting the drive, it's what I would try. You can do this from the player settings > settings menu system, without having to connect to your Mac to do.

    Thank you very much; my mac does not recognize the drive when the MSC mode. Is this a problem?

    Yep, of course. MSC mode is mode only you can use it with a Mac, because PSG is a Windows only and for synchronization via Windows Media Player mode.

    Fitness, as suggested above will be hopefully solve this problem as well. Don't forget to check out your USB setting after formatting, though, as he sometimes returns the default player, Auto Vice affecting. Manually select the MSC before trying to connect to your Mac.

  • An easy way to re-import massive media after a hard disk crash if the library files are intact?

    Hello

    I'm running 10.2.3 on OS X 10.11.3 FCPX. My external hard drive just crashed, and while I was able to save most everything else (including library files, proxy support, etc.), Miss me about 90% of the media about 2 000 "original" files. Because the library files have been saved, it seems that my projects seem to be intact, including the cuts and changes. Since FCPX knows what files and parts of files were previously imported, import should be easy... except for the fact that there are about 1 800 distributed clips on dozens of camera archives.

    Is there a way to 'massive re-import' office where he knows the clips came, without having to wade through thousands of clips in dozens of archives and manually by clicking on each of them? Because there is also the fact that, due to several archives of the camera used, different are multiple "Clip #1", "Clip #2", etc. that FCP is solved by adding a number at the end (for example, "Clip #1 (fcp1)" and "Clip #1 (fcp2)"). " I'm afraid that if I import everything in disorder (maybe I not initially import a clip, but returned later and get it), I'll have to sift through to find a needle in a haystack and rename the files manually.

    Even if I have to specify the locations of these archives of tens of couple, it would be so much easier than having to go into each of them and click 1 800 files manually... Any suggestions?

    Please and thank you!

    Too bad. I had assumed the import > reimportation of the camera wasn't working, but apparently because I had saved the AVCHD archives on my hard drive via the Finder instead of 'Create the Archives' of in Final Cut, he just didn't see them. Creating new archives of these same AVCHD files (or rather the folders 'PRIVATE' which originally housed them on the SD card) did the trick and I was able to reimport. Alternatively, I could have re-recorded these SD cards PRIVATE folders and it would have identified those as the original 'camera' once again, too and I could have reimported it... but who would be tedious.

  • Bridge says files are hidden?

    I try to use the bridge to navigate through a bunch of files in a folder. They are a mixture of files jpg, eps, pdf and tiff. Many are the same files in several formats. None of the files are marked as hidden objects and I can not find something strange when I "get info" on any of them.

    Hello all :)

    It seems that I have the same problem as missred in this thread http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=19232 (bottom). Unfortunately I can't answer it this is why I am writing here. The version of my laptop is 3440CT.

    My test was to make a win98 HD bootable with directory i386 on it, the start of this drive and run the Setup with winnt.exe. OK, it works, but while the files are copied after awhile it just hangs. I tried with a partition and i386 on the active system partition and with two partitions and i386 on another non-system partition. I don't have floppy or CD for the laptop drive.

    Any ideas what's happening? Is it possible to install XP on the same disk, installing XP is started from?

  • What files are backup using Windows backup

    Hello

    I have Windows Vista and if I click on "Start/Control Panel/Back up your files" which files are saved?  Will be all my folders under the folder of saved Documents?   Also, I always choose to use a new CD, can I get a complete the back of my files on the CD?

    Thanks for your help.

    Phil

    Hi zipone,.

    The following article covers how backup in Vista.  You will notice that it indicates he backup certain file types and you can change the choice at this time here in the process.  http://www.ehow.com/how_2058419_backup-files-windows-vista.html.

    Here is another article on the backup process that is a little more detailed: http://www.vista4beginners.com/How-to-backup-your-data.

    Here is another article on what Vista will choose backup and what you choose to back up: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/How-does-Windows-choose-which-files-to-back-up.

    If you choose to save to a CD, it backs up all selected for this CD (as long as there is enough space).

    Note that this is not a full image backup but just a selective or full of designated files backup (mainly data, videos, audios and other).  For image backups (if your version of Vista is supported, or you use a 3rd party program), it is quite different.  After the back if you are interested in information on this subject.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck.

  • New files are moving in Windows.Old

    I have a laptop of HP 6930 (second hand) under Win 7 Home Premium which is my "new" computer Previous was a Lenovo laptop running XP. The store where I bought the HP deleted the Lenovo HD permissions and transferred to a new case, so I could access it via the USB port on the HP.

    I also transferred the Lenovo Mozy backup to my RESUME, I thought that the two went to a new folder. But it seems that some files go in the Windows.Old.

    I noticed today when I ran disk cleanup. I saw a box "windows.old" and was about to check it and changed his mind. I went to this folder and noticed new files in there.

    Is it possible to remove or gray on the option delete Windows.old from disk cleanup? There was no option like that on the XP version of disk cleanup.

    This number is part of my problems to move to a new computer.

    I want to continue using many files and folders from the Lenovo, for various reasons.

    Is it possible to merge or move some files and folders from Windows.Old to the new files and folders on the HP?

    Hello

    It is actually quite easy.
    We knew that Oracle was looking for logsequence 1107. There is no archived log, it was deleted, or it has never generated. As you delete files, the 1st solution would be possible, BUT as there was only an instance crash so more old archived logs is not required for crash recovery. There is a need during the restoration of the old backup files, which is not our case.

    Thus, the missing log sequence has not been archived = > it is a redo log.
    To identify the required online redo log, we just to log query v$ as I suggest.

    Once the log identified file, we can recover it by specifying the redo log when you ask logsequence 1107.

    And it is on. We win! :)
