Strange new subfolder in C:\Users\Public - public account photo.

Re: Strange new subfolder in C:\Users\Public - photo account public.

At the risk of being discovered as a rudimentary in - software

The record of the object was not created by your humble correspondent, the owner of this Windows 8 (x 64) system, it just appeared a few months ago. The new folder has a subfolder; This file is called S-1-5-21-1606105377-2879138434-3654839560-1011 and it is displayed in the Explorer.exe window to be at this moment an EMPTY folder.  It's a weird, exceptionally long name and it looks like but it is much longer that other elements in the windows, things of internal Windows that are found in the Windows registry and are associated with user accounts I have set up.  For some people, see HKEY_USERS. FYI - Microsoft Office, and Silverlight are not installed, but is .NET Framework 4.5.

But what created this Public photos folder_name account, and WHY is it here? What created the subfolder named weirdo?

A. This created by one of many patches Adobe or Microsoft? GOLD,

B is perhaps evidence of this malware or spent?

Many will appreciate all answers usefully considered.

Hello

Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand that you ignore the subfolder created in such place. However, it is not Microsoft. Windows updates are the only updates that you receive from Microsoft and outside these updates, it is quite the user of the machine to manage. Yes, it is perhaps proof of malicious programs.

This is why I would recommend running Microsoft Safety Scanner to find or remove malware (if found).

The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

Microsoft safety scanner

Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

Note: Data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means there is a risk of data loss.

Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

  • I don't see States USERS\PUBLIC file folder is empty but properties States there are subfolders and files

    I had to remove some users on the computer, now, I do not see the files in Users\public. States of Explorer folder is empty but clists them properties. also, if I search for them as they appear on the results but I can't access it then.

    Hi David Lister,

    1. What account you're connected to?

    2. what happens when you try to access the folder using a different account?

    3. you receive messages or error codes when access you the folder?

    You can try to use the administrator account and try to access the folder.

    You can also try to restore the file to the previous version and check if it helps:

    Try to restore the files from previous versions.

    a. open the computer by clicking the Start button, click computer.

    b. navigate to the User\Public folder, right click and then click on restore previous versions.

    c. you will see a list of the available versions of previous of the file or folder.

  • Restore the file Public Documents for C:\User\Public

    I used the reg file to restore the C:\Users\Public\Documents folder, but after the restoration, it's the name shows just like Documents, not as public Documents.  Some software specifically want that name of Public Documents, so how can I get the name to show this way?  (Name change isn't the answer.)

    See this tutorial.

  • Installation: An error occurred while attempting to create the directory C:\Users\Public\Desktop

    When I try to install the software for my HP Officejet Pro 8500 has more, I get a read error "an error has occurred" while trying to create the directory C:\Users\Public\Desktop

    First I thought it was a permissions issue, even if I am registered as an administrator.  I've even passed the Public folder and gave myself all permissions.  Then I see that the 'Office' folder is already there, so I don't understand why she is trying to create the directory.  Don't know where to go next.

    Problem solved!  Changed name of folder of the Office of "Public Desktop" to "Desktop".  A given SYSTEM and everybody full permissions to the folder.  One of these changes have made a difference.  Subsequently renamed "Desktop" back to "Public Desktop", just in case.

  • How to enable detailed interactive report view by default for the user public?

    Hi all

    I'm developing a page of search results.

    I'm doing a view instead of a default table view of interactive reports. So in this case I activated the details view so that I could make the fancy designs.

    everything worked well and looked clean but however when I pass the value of my search using IR_ROWFILTER page and clear the results page using page_noIRB, it brings me to the result page of interactive reports with the default table as point of view.

    I have to press the detailed view to get. I tried to save it as a default value, but it won't work. This question is for user public.

    If I do the page requires authentication, and record the detail by default view, I wouldn't have any problem. I could search and it will bring directly in to the detail view of the search page.

    of course, the other reason that I found is because im using the IR_ROWFILTER and by disabling the page using page_noIRB... without it, it works well, but I need it coz im making a a search result. I need to send the text to search for another page and put it in the filter to the search page. I would need to use the IRB to search again.

    is this a limitation to the user public? It happened for the authenticated user but...

    How can I make the default view for the user public?

    How can I make the default view for the user public?

    Reverse the report for details on the loading of the page using a dynamic action of loading the Page with the following Execute the JavaScript Code real action:

    gReport.data.view('DETAIL');

    I'm doing a view instead of a default table view of interactive reports. So in this case I activated the details view so that I could make the fancy designs.

    Do you really need is an IR? Other that the layout of detail, do you need any of the interactive features? If not, try to use a standard report with a a report model custom.

  • mobile e-mail from the admin folders. page to a new page to the user.

    How can I move files mail of my admin page to a new page of the user, so that both users can access folders?

    Hello

    Who did you send provider?

    What is a mail on the Web, or you use any e-mail like outlook client?

    What do you mean by new user page? Referring to the new user account?

    If you are making reference to the new user account where you need access to these files and folders, you can try to move your folders in the Public folder.

    The Public folder is a convenient way to share files that are stored on your computer. You can share files in this folder with other people using the same computer and with people using other computers on the same network. Any file or folder you put in the folder Public is automatically shared with the people who have access to your Public folder.

    For more information about public folders, you can see the article below.

  • How can I add a new subfolder for lightroom without sync entire folders tree?

    I have about 50 000 images in a directory tree on my PC.    They are carefully classified and separated into subfolders by date, topic, etc.    However, every time I download pictures from my camera in a new subfolder in that tree, I synchronize it to get Lightroom to 'see' the new folder.   It is a pain because it's starting to take a time LOOOOOOONG to go through this process.

    Is there a way to simply tell Lightroom "look, here's a new subfolder, recognize and import the photos inside the catalogue?

    Yes it is. In the dialog to import in the area Source point LR to the real subfolder. All of the drives, folders, and subfolders are visible in the import dialog.

    It displays all of the subfolders in the library module is why you use the function synchronize in a top-level folder. It shows that all drives, folders and subfolders when you click on the button import in the library module.

    The only time that a drive or folder appears in the library module is once you have imported the pictures in this folder.

    You can also use the import dialog window to all your copy from a memory card or the camera and place them in a folder of your choice and or manufacturing as well as their import at the same time.

    Please buy a book or view some of the very good tutorials online on the import of images in LR.

  • I haven't used itunes for some time and now have a new PC.  I've updated my account (change password) but when I connect to my music went?

    I haven't used itunes for some time and now have a new PC.  I've updated my account (change password) but when I connect to my music went?  I am working on Win 8 and still have part of my collection on an ipod.

    Unless you subscribe to iTunes game (which is not a complete solution anyway) your iTunes Library is on your previous PC - solution the easiest is to copy from here or from a backup.  For more information, see How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support .  Previous purchases from the iTunes Store may be available for re - download - see download your past - purchases of Apple Support.

    If none of these approaches allows to recover the contents of your library, see user turingtest2 on recover your iTunes from your iPod or an iOS device library for a list of tools and methods that can be used to copy the media etc from iPod to iTunes.

  • How can I set up my new Officejet Pro 8600 more printing on paper photo 4 x 6?

    How can I set up my new Officejet Pro 8600 more printing on paper photo 4 x 6?  I'm running on Windows 7 64 bit.

    It's strange.  Looks like you have a second paper tray and put it to the default tray.  The second paper tray only supports the types of paper that show on your list.  It's strange because unless you have purchased a second tray paper, plus model has one.  Does only the high-end model.  Other than that, only certain types of media can be duplex, so if you have double-sided printing, it can limit the selection.  I'll watch what else could be the cause and get back to you.

  • Can I stop LR CC to create a subfolder of 2015, whenever I have upload photos to an existing folder?

    Whenever I have upload photos to an already existing folder, LR CC creates a new subfolder, tagged with the date of the download.  I don't want all of these subfolders.  I was select all photos, placing parent and then 'remove' subfolder in the folder.  What a nuisance.

    There is probably a way to avoid this.  I have looked but have not found, however.

    Can someone, please?  Thank you.

    (I run the last update of LR CC on Win 7)
