the files were in the files now, they are on the c drive

On a windows 7, one of my users has a large number of files on the c: drive, it uses to store its files.     All of a sudden
He noticed that some of the files in these folders do not appear.     After looking around, we found them right on the c:\ drive.    It's almost like
the pointers in the file system have lost or corrupted if the files are only on c:, instead of lets say C:\permit Chkdsk /f 22\ come clean.
Malwarebytes come clean (unusual... typically a cookie or something) AVG come clean.       no idea how this could have happened?
I was in there for 15 years and never seen anything close.   Google searches increase nothing more.      He will begin the painstaking process of setting
the files back, but it's just very strange.

  • I've renamed the images in a file and now they are all out of control, how to make their return to the original order

    I opened a drive with my camera phone, then renamed the photos with brief descriptions, and now they are all out of order. How to make back in the original order they appeared.

    Dennis

    Renamed files are apparently to be sorted by alphabetical order.
    It is the normal behavior of Windows.

    If you open the folder in question and go to... View / details... and
    Select the column that says: "Date picture taken", she should use
    photos.

    Also you can drag and drop photos to change position.

    Once you have pictures in the order you need... you can re-
    Number them in a batch to maintain order.

    Just go to... Edition / select all... right click on the first file name and choose...
    Rename... Enter the next number...

    .jpg (10001)

    Press Enter and the remaining files will be named in the order.

  • I can longer open attached pdf files. I am able to preview the files, but they are too small for me to read.

    * Original title: attachments

    Help, please.

    I did something wrong (AGAIN!)

    I had no problem with access to attachments to my e-mails, but a problem occurred just.

    I can longer open attached pdf files.  I am able to preview the files, but they are too small for me to read.  When I click to open all the I get now is a kind of icon (in Microsoft Office Picture Manager) with which I can't do anything.

    It seems I should have arranged for Picture Manager automatically opens attachments to emails, but when this happens, I'm stuck as what I try, I can't do pdf files appear as they did.

    The help file does not really help.

    I hope it is something simple, even an old fool like me can do with your expert (and, I hope. friendly) help.

    My fingers are crossed.

  • How can I link to R3D files when they are multiple (long resumes 4Gbs).

    Hello guys,.

    I'm transcoding (SOUL) my red images to the H.264 format for easy/fast mounting in another machine slow (the film's Director). But he comes to files with multiple R3D files, long takes over from 4Gbs, it creates several mp4 files, and they are all exactly the same.

    -Can I actually use an mp4 for my editing file and replace with originals later?

    -I should only transcode the first R3D file?

    -How can I connect back once the editing is done? Ive tried but do not know what R3D file should link to and does not after trying it. The mp4 file is take it all, but the R3D are not taking it together since they are separated in different R3D files.

    I work with first CC 2015.

    Thank you so much, I have spent days watching the tutorials but can't find my answer, I would greatly appreciate your help.

    I'd probably transcode to prores proxy, or something that does not have the long form, GOP, as Mp4.   Then, a test and make sure your guard to transcode the original code term when you bind again, there is no problem.

    do a test run w / a clip as not to lose time and when you do a couple of edits in a timeline w / as a clip, click with the right button on the clip in the project bin and select 'replace the clip', point to the original file then who must fill out your edited clip w / new source footage.

    you will then need to change the codec of your timeline should match that of your source.    hope that helps.    Certainly test first to make sure that you have the workflow down before you begin your session.

    This also works when there are tons of clips in your tray of sequences that need to be replace.

    When we work w / R3D files, usually created proxies on the fly for this reason (I think).   I'm sure that simply point to the first R3D file in this order if you make your own proxies, although I have not tested.   the first R3D file will usually connect automatic for the rest.

    This isn't the way we usually work but seems it should work.      Good luck.

  • Cannot play music files because they are protected from the DMA

    Several years ago, I decided to save space at home by extraction of CD music on a hard drive external loads and binning then the CD I imported the files into iTunes, but the rest I left intact hard disk.

    Now, I find that I can't play all the music files because they have the DMA protection on them. Actually, it means that the music files that I had collected during his life and entrusted to storage of Microsoft (if only I had not sent the CD to the grave!) are lost forever.

    I tried to find instructions how to remove the protection (legally), but it seems incredibly complicated. I do not understand how, when, to my knowledge, I did anything illegal, it is allowed? It's not like I sold the CD or even given them!

    Someone at - it ideas how the hell I get permission to play music?

  • desktop.ini files are showing even after masking the BONES protected files and they are everywhere

    Everything is almost described in the title

    Out of nowhere this "desktop.ini" file started appearing in almost all of the folders and delete them changes icons of folders where they exist in the settings and I found that the only way to hide them is to hide one in each folder specially after finding that they are not considered "BONES protected files" by the system or it was to hide just after masking "Protected OS files" but cache the one by one is not the best option to consider, although unlike the real "desktop.ini file" in the Users\User\Desktop folder that is considered protected operating system file and mask normally with the protected operating system files.

    Now, I want to just hide in a process that is not separately if possible please.

    For more details:

    -The content of the original "desktop.ini" file in the Users\User\Desktop folder is different from those non-hidden other those as follows:

    Contents of the Original file:

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    [. ShellClassInfo]
    LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21769
    IconResource=%SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll,-183

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    No hidden files content:

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    [. ShellClassInfo]
    IconResource = D:\Softwares\Icons\Metro Collection\Metro_Tiles_1\Metro ICO\System Icons\OTHERS\OTHERS\Journal.ico,0
    [ViewState]
    Mode =
    Vid =
    FolderType = generic
