• Documents folder redirected to the flash player and not able to change

  Hello

  I am running Vista and for some odd reason the documents folder is redirected to the USB flash drive. I changed the location of the default documents folder target. No luck.

  The strange thing is that I am not able to remove the flash drive as he continues to tell me it is in use and I am not able to open documents if the flash player is not inserted.

  How can I fix?

  Thank you very much.

  No, did not work.

  Don't worry, will reinstall the machine. No such thing as a good clean start :)

• Kill the "My Documents" folder in Windows Explorer for XP

  Whenever I have called Windows Explorer in my copy of XP and then click on 'Files', the 'My Documents' folder is displayed.
  Except that I do not use it and don't want it.
  I tried in vain to get rid of him, but when I right click on it and press DELETE, it tells me that the content will not be deleted, only the icon, which would be nice.  But it's that - the icon remains.

  You can't delete My Documents. This is a directory on the system. If you want Explorer to open up My Documents, you can change the shortcut to Explorer as follows:

  Go to programs > Accessories - right click on the Windows Explorer icon, select properties and type or copy / paste the following text in the target box:

  % systemroot%\EXPLORER. EXE/e, c:

  This will open the Explorer to C:\. You can also create a desktop for Windows Explorer with the same command icon. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• Re-directed WinZip unable to view the contents of the My Documents folder

  Hello

  We have ThinApped WinZip 14.0 Pro version. However when we try to use WinZip to compress files in my documents, he sees nothing in the My Documents folder, but there are files and folders in My Documents. We tried to use ThinApp 4.7 to ThinApp WinZip, however we still have the same question. Can someone contact me please on how we can solve this problem.

  I enclose the file pacakage.ini for your reference and a screenshot of which Document My empty using WinZip. In addition, we have redirected My Documents folder on a network share. Even the favorite folder did the same thing. The isolation on the personal record mode does not work. The same thing with all of our applications.

  However if we do not re - direct folders My Documents, then the virtual Winzip can see the content of My Documents. We would be very grateful if someone can get back to us as soon as possible to solve the problem. We tried the same thing with ThinApp 4.6.0 and 4.6.1, it works very well. The issue remains with ThinApp 4.6.2 and 4.7.

  I would like to know if anyone has need of more information.

  Thank you

  This problem is solved with the latest version of 4.7.1. Please download and check.

• A .plist file appeared in the My Documents folder

  A few days now, a file named "purchaserecordexpirenotifications - qlm.plist" appeared in the My Documents folder.

  If I delete i, it reappers the next day.

  I can't understand why, or that either the app created that.

  Any thoughts?

  It is probably created by the so-called "Quick License Manager" (developer name "Soraco"), installed by a third-party app, but I can't tell you that one.

• Win XP: Remove the 'System' of the 'My Documents' folder attribute

  Win XP: The 'My Documents' folder contains an attribute of the system. Now, I can't save file there. How can I remove the attribute "system"?

  If you look at the security for 'My Documents' tab, you will see that the system has access to the file, but it should not have attribute on the file system.

  Access special permissions and see who is the owner of the folder. It should be yourself. If this isn't the case, you may need to take ownership of the folder to get access.

  I hope this helps.

• When I download compressed files, they go to the local > temp location, when I extracted all the files, they are sent to the My Documents folder. Can I go to the local > temp location and delete the zip file?

  When I download compressed files, they go to the local level > temp location, when I extracted all the files, they are sent to the My Documents folder. Can I go to local > temp location and delete the zip file? Knowing that I still have the data in the My Documents folder.

  Once they are checked, of course. If you want to keep a backup, you can move the zip file in your documents folder.

  In fact, you can delete everything in the temporary folder that is not currently in use. Best time to do this removal is immediately after the start, before launching other applications.

• Dropbox and Windows 7 - the 'My Documents' folder location

  Is there a risk of changing the location of the "My Documents" folder either in Dropbox, so that all files are synchronized automatically?  This would avoid having to always drag files and remember what has been dragged and implemented to date.

  Dropbox seems to be a good tool to keep all the files synchronized on multiple platforms and devices, and it's a suggestion in an article.  It have a negative impact in Windows or damage the organizational structure of the file?

  As long as you use the button "Move" of Windows 7 in the properties of My Documents, that you will do whatever it is that Windows is not set up to do.  The "Move" button is discussed in the following article in Lifehacker, but 'RichR' post in forum Dropbox gives a description of the overall process with some advice on places where to set up your Dropbox folder before moving my Documents inside.  There are a number of other ways to accomplish the same thing but the do this as described above seems to be the simplest and also one that makes what Windows was already intended to do via the function "move".

• Windows 7: I would like to print a list of files and corresponding subfolders in the My Documents folder. Is this possible?

  It's time to clean up and reorganize the My Documents folder. I think I can have subfolders duplicate in my main files listed in the Documents. I would like to print a list to find and delete these folders.

  Any suggestion is appreciated!

  Thank you

  It is a forum for Windows 7 with tips on Windows 7.

  Windows XP is different, these instructions will not apply.

  You can open a command prompt in Windows XP, then use the CD controls to get the folder you want.

  If you have installed the Windows XP command window open herePowerToy* then this can happen more quickly - to aid that allows to simply right-click on any folder & open a command already defined for this folder.

  * There was also formerly a very convenient Explore of PowerToy here but that is no longer available from MS - you will find perhaps at cnet or another download site.

  There is also a Windows XP forum.

• How can I move the "Virtual Machines" folder to the My Documents folder?

  VMwareFusion is to put the "Virtual Machines" folder in the Documents folder in the home folder (/users/ [username] / Documents), how can I move elsewhere (as/Library/Application Support)? The user Documents folder is not the right place for automated it system files, it is intended for personal documents.

  
  

  I am running VMware Fusion on OS X Yosemite (and the virtual machine is Windows 7).

  You can keep your virtual machines anywhere you want. Here are the steps to move:

  1 exit VMware Fusion. You can stop first of all of your running virtual machines.

  2. drag your virtual computers folder or the individual VM "files" where you / them. Filenames usually end in ".vmwarevm". There is no need to call the new folder "Virtual Machines" - you can call it anything you like.

  3. Launch VMware Fusion. If the library of the Virtual Machine window is not open, open it (Windows menu-> Virtual Machine library).

  4. ensure that all of your icons for the virtual machine are light gray and say "file not found".

  5. right click on each virtual machine in turn, and select Remove. When you are done, leave the window of Machine virtual library empty open.

  6. in the Finder, drag the icons of file virtual machine in their new location and drop them in library of virtual machines VMware Fusion window. Drop them one by one in the original order, you got, or rearrange icons later.

  7. run your virtual machines as before.

  When you create new virtual computers, navigate to the desired file before the Save.

  IMPORTANT NOTE: If you your folder of Machines ~/Documents/Virtual excluded from backups Time Machine, don't forget to change the exclusion to the new folder.

  Time Machine backups are not reliable for virtual machines. You must have another strategy. (I shut the virtual machine down, compress the 'file', and then move the compressed file to a folder that is included in the Time Machine backups. This isn't the only strategy, but it works for me.)

• How can I specify the "My Documents" folder under the directory sync for "Creative Cloud Files?

  I know how to move the 'Creative Cloud Files' directory in preferences, but when I do that, it simply moves the 'Creative Cloud Files' directory in the 'My Documents' folder. I don't think that you can set a specific folder in a folder 'sync' in the preferences. Create a symbolic link to the contents of "My Documents" in the 'Creative Cloud Files' directory would work to activate the content of 'My Documents' to sync with the cloud? Breast of Windows 8 BTW, that's...

  CrisJM, no, that won't work. You must move the files in that particular folder of creative cloud itself. The only customizable option is that you can change the location of the CC folder (the one you already indicated above).
