The files 'disappear' when you add a period to a folder or a file name in windows through GUI

The files 'disappear' when you add a period to a folder or a file name in windows through GUI

I don't know if it's a bug, but certainly doesn't seem like it should be the case. I tried on both 64-bit and 32-bit on windows 7. Does not make this error on XP or vista.

Can someone explain to me what is happening?

To reproduce, in windows 7 make a file or folder, and THEN add a ".". (period) to the end of the name of the file and look at the file "disappear". It's still there, just need to refresh (F5) and it reappears (w/o of the annex "." because it's an illegal file naming convention).

I tried to do the same thing but through command line and it always auto corrects names of files to the conventions, and correctly, it remains on the GUI, so I think that the problem is related to the graphical mode of name change

    Installation: I created a doc of bid that allows the end user to complete the first page (request for quote) and auto information fills in the next 3 pages, carrying contractors names and info to separate bid documents.

    I have never heard forward and cannot reproduce them. What the police that you use for the multiline field? It would be interesting to see a sample file if you can put a somewhere.

    Something that might work is first export data from form (in FDF/XFDF), then extract the pages, reset and re-import the data in the page.

  • I recently installed PowerDesk Pro v7.0.1.3 and now, the system hangs when you right click to copy a folder, etc.

    Original title: Windows Explorer has stopped working

    Marilyn answers Support Engineer Microsoft's answer also suggested maybe using some registry changes, which I'm not comfortable with because of my limited experience.

    Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated pedro147

    None of these suggestions to the Microsoft support technician will help you, but they will consume large amounts of your time.

    Please post a link to this Marilyn Microsoft engineer answer Support responses involving some registry maybe going to I can see that too.

    Older versions of PowerDesk Pro 7.x are known to cause explore crash, so that the sounds on the right.

    The current version of PowerDesk Pro is 8.5.

    You might be able to get the old version to behave by disabling PowerDesk one shell extensions at a time until when you right-click Explorer no longer crashes.  This will leave you with limited functionality of PowerDesk since those afflicted extensions will be disabled, but you should not have these extensions to do anything, you need to make sheets.

    I would start with the PowerDesk ZIP shell extension (I already know about this one).

    It is a version shortened and changed my notes on the use of ShellExView (since you already think sheets):

    Download ShellExView here to see what Explorer extensions you have loaded:

    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/shexview.html

    ShellExView does not install anything on your computer, simply of runs and displays.

    After launching ShellExView, under Options, choose "Mark non-Microsoft Extensions" and extensions not Microsoft will be pink, clear, but on some systems which is a difficult color to see, so click on display, choose the columns and move the column Microsoft closer to the top, so you can see on your screen without having to scroll left and right.

    Click on the column header for Microsoft sort display (by clicking on the column of Microsoft) then all the non Microsoft extensions are on top and easy to see.

    Non-Microsoft extensions would be things you have added (non-Microsoft) and are what you should be suspect.

    You can also Google the name of a suspect add-on and see if there is any success on the mistakes of the DEP and what other people have done about it.

    For example, you could Google something like:

    Explorer XP crashing (you must fill in the name of add your suspect on.)

    See what kind of search results hits you get and are looking for solutions or situations that sound like yours.

    Right click and disable Microsoft no suspicious extensions one at a time take a list so you can enable them again later if you wish.

    The result of the change is immediate and no reboot is necessary.  Test your failure condition.  If the Explorer starts to behave, you will know which extension is the culprit, then you can start to enable them one by one until the Explorer fails again.

    Don't forget - disabling the extension does not uninstall the extension - it is just disabled so you can always turn it on again.

    Disable them one at a time until your right click on do not generate an error, then restart and test again.  You have disabled the last extension would be suspicious.  You can then start to reactivate other extensions to zero on the extensions that are causing your accident

    If the cause of the accident is a third party application or program, their may be a later version of the program available that solves the problem.

    If you find the offending extension that's the problem, please let us know what it is that I can add to my list.

  • I want my text box to resize the web page when you add lines of text

    Hi all

    I'm new to Muse, I am quite familiar with illustrator and photoshop. My question:

    I downloaded a model, and it allows me to learn and practice the muse a bit. I want to know how I can add a text box that automatically resizes the Web page when text lines are added. Currently my text box just go to the footer when I type. Which setting I have to look?

    Thanks to you all!

    Don't forget your footer items are marked as a footer element and that your text box is not.

    Right-click on the components and check or uncheck the footer element

  • Elevation of the files to another folder and when I do, I type the file name in windows search and says its still there.

    Well first off this isn't a big problem for me, it just confuses me that I've never seen something like that happen. Second, turn off the computer in question has 3 antivirus programs and I ran them all without any problem. Sorry I don't want good average, but this seems to be a common response here, I did it before asking. Now for the question!

    So my girlfriend recently downloaded a pack weight of remixes of video game of his favorite game (don't worry not all free), but there are 1000 + songs where love why shes separate his favorite songs in a different folder. For simplicity lets call the folder with notebook of songs 1000 + has and the folder in folder B, she is now the songs, both are also on the desktop. And I doubt that it will be useful info but the files are all MP3 now let me explain the problem.

    So when she's going through all his songs in the notebook has and find one she likes, she drags it to folder B, now his file in B, it plays, it works great, its there for you. But here's the source of confusion, because of mass number of songs, part use the search bar to find specific ones, while doing this, she noticed that a song, she moved was always there (directory always said it is in folder A). She looked in the file one himself without research and MP3 is for sure not in the Outbox folder, but for sure in folder B. Once she saw this she sought other songs, she moved to folder B, for some songs, it shows always looking in the Outbox folder, other songs he does not, seems to be random?

    So my question is why she do that? It is just the mass number of songs or is there a glitch. A kind of problem of research of vista bullshit? All the patches?

    Sorry for the long question I wanted just to be thorough, and add as much information, so it can be solved.

    Thanks for your answers,

  • Half the Office disappears when you unplug the external monitor

    I have a MacBook (early 2011) with a single office shared between two monitors - with one hand on the internal screen and the other half on a Dell 23 inch. The Dell is my first when I use both at the same time. Until a few months ago, when I unplugged the external monitor, all windows automatically appears in the monitor to the laptop, including the menu bar and dock.

    After an operating system upgraded a few dos systems (I'm on version of El Capitan.6), when I unplug the screen seems not to register - in other words, the left side of my office, including the menu bar and the dock, and all the apps that were there just to disappear. So my laptop seems to think that the other view is always connected and direct, unless I restart with the detached monitor. (I unchecked 'Displays have separated spaces') in Mission Control.

    Is that what I can do to force the Office to redesign the internal screen? (Note that the display is a Dell S2330MX, which seem not to support any Mac OS - so who could answer the question here.) Thank you

    I've known who issues from time to time, try to close and reopen the lid, which needs to redraw your office.

  • Introduce the button disappears when you return to the quiz slide

    Hello world

    We have just improved Captivate 4.0 to 5.5. I teach to 5.5 differences between 4.0 and one that I can't understand.

    On quiz slides, if the learner move previous and next in quiz slides, buttons quizzes are fine. However, be they click on slide 1 quiz, then advance to the quiz slide the submit button flashes and then disappears for this slide and all other quiz slides. I can't find a setting to fix this.

    Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Sounds like a problem of scope of quiz.  If you click on the first slide of quiz that would take you to the slide BEFORE the first slide of questionnaire which is technically outside the scope of quiz.  This generally means locking Captivate quiz.

    I didn't know personally this Act of disappearance of button, but you can check if the scope of the quiz is the likely culprit by adding an a received, click Inbox in the first slide of the project, which will then extend the scope of a quiz on this slide.  If this prevents your quiz slide buttons from being endangered, we know the problem.  Which may mean that you have always found a bug that needs to be fixed though.

  • Office Pavilion Elite e9220y: name of the Internet access when you hover over said tskbr network 5. is that HP name or co cable. ?

    Hello

    I have a desktop Pavilion Elite e9220y Home Premium; Win 7; 64-bit computer.

    I'm wired; but have wireless for other things (Kindle, etc..)

    When I open internet access in the bar of tasks and under the "wireless network connection", I see MY connection (and the name I gave my connection) and 5 solid green bars (no problem).

    Above this section, there is an article with a picture of a House (provided by HP, I'm sure), and he says:

    ' Currently logged on:

    and just below it says: (to the right of the photo of the House) network 5

    and just below it says: internet access

    That's all it lists the wireless network connection with my name and the names of other connections in the district.

    My question:

    the name "network 5"?

    HP says it is my cable provider; my cable provider says it's at HP.

    This can be changed?

    Thank you!

    Hello Denise,.

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

    I understand that you have a problem with wireless networks.

    Windows will think it's in a new network whenever it detects a new router. If you have changed your router or the router configuration. Windows creates a new network. But do not worry.

    If you don't want the name of the connection to be listed under active connection, follow the steps.

    (1) open the "Control Panel".

    (2) select and open "network and sharing Center."

    (3) click on the ' icon "(une icône de la maison pour moi) less 'show your active networks'.". " This will open the dialogue "set network properties." Here, you can rename a network connection or a change as the network connection icon.

    4) click on "Merge or delete network locations" to view the list of network connections that are stored. You can merge or remove connections

    Let me know if it helps.

    Have a great day!

  • Type a file name in windows Explorer emphasizes not the file

    Hey,.

    I have a wired problem, when I type the first letters (one or more) of the file name in windows Explorer, that is not

    highlights the corresponding file.

    (if I have a file named help.txt and I press 'h' on the keyboard, nothing happens)

    * I tried to manually select a different file before that type a letter and it did not work either.

    Thank you!



    Hi Magniy,

    1. How are you manually highlighting the file in Windows Explorer?

    2 when was the last time it was working fine?

    I suggest that you first of all, highlight the first file in Windows Explorer and try again later to highlight the file you want to check if it works.

    When you do it manually, make sure you highlight of the Windows Explorer window and then check if it works.

    If the previous step fails, to consult with another keyboard if the problem persists.

    I hope this helps!

  • When you add a program, a file is also added. How get added courses in the folder?

    I have some users when they create courses, then a curriculum for the courses, are added to the folder created by the curriculum. They are also in the same folder as the program itself. How can this happen?

    When you add a program, there are two choices that look alike. If the user selects Add content, and then they go to the content library to find the object, and then Connect automatically creates a course in the folder for the program of studies.

    If the courses add is selected then the user navigates on the training for the (already created) course library and this course gets linked to the curriculum. Doing this means that nothing is added to the folder for the program of studies.
