The USER duplicate files?

I have notoce my user folder is dupicated under 'documents and Settings' and 'Users' in the directory hierarchy.  It should be?  It looks like a large number of duplicate files.  It may explain why some software does not install/uninstall coirrectly?

Hey Bill, retirement

Are what problem you facing installation?

The "Documents and Settings" folder belongs to XP, whereas 'Users' belongs to Vista. Upgrade you your XP computer to Vista?

Maybe the help article can give more explanations about this folder structure.

Where are my files and folders after upgrading from Windows XP or Windows Vista?

  • Add the user to the users group in the Users.ini file using c#

    Hello

    Using a c# application, we strive to add/remove a user from the TestStand Users.ini file.

    The CreateDeleteUsers.seq file in the samples of TestStand is used as a reference.

    We have seen that we are able to add the user to the list of user help file

    engine. UsersFile.UserList.SetPropertyObjectByOffset (0, 0 x 1, newUser.AsPropertyObject ());

    However, when we try to add the user to the user group, the sample file CreateDeleteUsers.seq said

    RunState.Engine.GetUserGroup (Locals.GroupName). Members.SetPropertyObjectByOffset (0, 0 x 1, Locals.User.AsUser.LoginName)

    If we try to replicate this in c#, the API seeks the last parameter (which is LoginName in the CreateDeleteUsers.seq file) as an object of property

    engine. GetUserGroup (this.) GroupName). Members.SetPropertyObjectByOffset (0, 0 x 1, newUser.AsPropertyObject ());

    This causes an exception of object reference when we run the application.

    Please advise on how to proceed.

    Thank you

    Arun-

    The members property is an array of string, so the 3rd parameter to SetPropertyObjectByOffset requires a string property object, IE. the user name and not of the user object. From the will of the user object error with '-17308; Specified value is not the expected type. ». The example should really be using SetValStringByOffset to be clearer so that you only specify the user name of the actual string.

  • where can I find the user.js file to delete

    I'm trying to get my windows to stay permanently - they disappear now after each session, but I don't know why. After reviewing similar questions by others it seems that I should remove the user.js, but I don't really know what it is or how to find.

    Forgive me, I am not very computer savvy and I struggle with the jargon. Can you help me please?

    Thank you, David.

    What kind of tiles are in the process of disappearance?

    If story tiles are endangered, check to make sure that Firefox is not to clear the history to the stop. That would be put in place on the Options page, sign confidentiality:

    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > privacy

    If the selector says "conservation rules: remember the story" then you probably haven't set Firefox to clear the history to the stop.

    If the selector says "conservation rules: use the custom settings for history" then check if 'Clear history of Firefox closing' has been turned. If so, you could just turning out completely, or click the settings button to select categories of history in order to clear and make sure navigation history is not selected.

    If the selector says "conservation rules: don't remember history" then Firefox uses automatic private browsing and no history is kept between sessions.

    An any of these explain what is happening?

    Important information for all platforms

    • The files and the locations of files given here are default values. Some of these places can be customized in the Lightroom \Preferences or the catalog settings dialog boxes.
    • While troubleshooting, where possible, rename the files instead of remove them.
    • If possible, back up catalogs on another hard drive or a volume of the disk where your catalog is located. For more information about the backup in Lightroom, read back up a catalog with Lightroom and look at the backup catalog on Adobe TV. (The video has been produced for Lightroom 4 but still applies to Lightroom 5.)

  • Editing the toolbars.xml file in CS5

    Hello. I made a few changes to the toolbars.xml file, but I can't get these changes appear when I run the application, Dreamweaver CS5. I left / reopening of Dreamweaver and restarted my computer, all to nothing does not. On a hunch, I deleted the file entirely from the Repertory of toolbars , but the toolbar is always responsible in its original plan, leading me to believe it's some sort of caching memory/question. My goal is simply to rearrange a few buttons on the toolbar. Does anyone know how to get the changes to appear?

    Program : Dreamweaver CS5

    File : C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5\configuration\Toolbars\toolbars.xml

    OS : Windows 7 Professional

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    First of all, you should never modify configuration files in the installed directory.

    You are probably trying to edit a file that has already been modified by an extension, this file is located in the user configuration files located in the position that these are installed, see the info to locate these files Sub - "Locate your personal configuration file" in the faq, http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494811.

    The files in these folders will rewrite the standard dw config files.

    If you would like more information I suggest that you read the help files "Extension from Dreamweaver" - http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/extend/index.html.

  • Generated by changing the names of files Wizard

    I used the wizard of Coldfusion/Flex applications to create master pages and detail for a very simple application.

    The name of the table that I used was "user_tbl" and the template created .as file is named Useruser_tbl.as. The app works just fine as it is, however, I did not like the name generated for the .as file.

    I have changed the name of the User.as file and all the references appropriately changed the master views and detail (Users.mxml and User.mxml)

    Now, when the application is compiled, I get an error:
    1067: constraint implied a value of type com.myapp.views.detail: use a com.myapp.models: User type unrelated. MyApp/src/com/myapp/views/detail User.mxml /myapp/src/com/myapp/views/detail/User.mxml

    Changinging the name of the file and references back solves the problem.

    What else do I need to change to get the file name change to work?

  • How to delete a file duplicate, located on the system drives and the user, which hogs place CPU when enabled?

    Completely remove iTunes and do a clean reinstall by following the steps below.

    Note that you cannot 'upgrade' from Windows XP to Windows 7.  If your computer hardware is compatible with Windows 7 and Windows 7 drivers are available, you can install Windows 7, but this operation will require a new install of Windows 7.

    You can use Windows Easy Transfer to copy your data, but not your applications.  Applications will need to be reinstalled from original installation media.

    To perform a "clean" iTunes installation uses this technique proposed, from Support of Apple HT1926 article.

    Warning: uninstall utility for cleaning Windows mentioned in the instructions below has been removed from Microsoft download servers because sometimes it seems more removed he was supposed to (I think that this phenomenon was linked to the bureau uninstalls).  You can still get utility Windows Installer Cleanup--> http://majorgeeks.com/Windows_Installer_CleanUp_Utility_d4459.html here is a free alternative Revo Uninstaller. Before using these cleaning products, you must create a restore point from the system first (or back up the registry with C:\WINDOWS\ERUNT).  See http://windowsxp.mvps.org/registry.htm a complete disk image would be safer if you have this ability.

  • No Internet access after you have copied the user files on.

    I created a new user account and copied all the files including documents and settings from an old user account.  Before I did I unhid all hidden files and system files.  What I was expecting, it was the new user account should behave exactly like the old user account without problem outside the difference between user account names.

    However, after doing this I couldn't Internet new user even account I could ping all web Internet sites I've tried.  Finally, I have to create another user account and copy only the document and manually I have to redo all the personal settings.

    If the problems were gone.  However, I would like to know if it is a problem to copy personal settings.  What is the most efficient and effective way to transfer the account from one to the other?

    Hello

    Did you remove the following files on the new account?

    • Ntuser.dat
    • Ntuser.dat.log
    • Ntuser.ini

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/811151/en-GB

    The link above shows how to copy a profile, however as far as the most effective way of copying, it depends on what you want, that is to say some parameters can be set for all users of the computer local strategies etc. If you want documents available to all users, use an all the "users share" with the permissions to prevent some accounts, editing files. This may or may not be what you want to achieve.

    Please confirm what data/files/personal etc settings you want to duplicate to the new user accounts, and state what - this time when creating or on an ongoing basis.

    Finally you use XP Home or Professional?

  • How can I find several duplicate files and remove the using Windows Explorer

    Somehow I see several duplicate on my computer files.  I can tell when they arrived as all the duplicate files ' _10-Mar-15_1. ' " However, I don't know how they arrived.  I think that Google Drive was the culprit, but I can't be sure.

    How we (me) use Windows Explorer to find all files with "_10-Mar-15_1." and delete them all?

    I am using Windows 7 64 bit

    Thank you!!!

    Windows Explorer can do no such thing. To remove recursively a certain file is easy - see below. To identify duplicates and remove some of them is much more difficult, because:

    • Are two files duplicates because
      -They have the same name?
      -They are the same size?
      -They have the same file date?
      -They have the same content?
      -Everything above?
    • When they are, which ones should be deleted?
      -The oldest?
      -The most recent?
      -The batch?

    Here's how to remove a certain file to recursively. Assume that they are in the folder "C:\Users\BHunter\Documents".

    1. Click the start planet.
    2. Type cmd. exe and press ENTER.
    3. Enter the following command and press ENTER:
      dir/s/b/p 'C:\Users\BHunter\Documents\_10-Mar-15_1 '.
      This will show you all the files whose name above.
    4. del /s /q "C:\Users\BHunter\Documents\_10-Mar-15_1."
      This will permanently delete all files with the name above. You cannot restore them.
