The Windows 7 Explorer reads 4096 bytes of files with FILE_ATTRIBUTE_OFFLINE

Hi all!

After installation: Windows 7 as an SMB client. Plan sharing SMB like, say, Z: and use the Windows 7 Explorer to browse a directory in the share. It looks like Windows Explorer bed the first each file 4096 bytes, even files that have the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_OFFLINE set (these files have the attribute set "O").

My understanding of FILE_ATTRIBUTE_OFFLINE is that the file is not available immediately, for example, because it is stored in a hierarchical storage management system and read on this file may result in access to, say, bands. Of course, you don't want to trigger several tape media, just because you browse a directory.

So my question is: is it considered "working as intended" that Windows 7 Explorer reads the first 4096 bytes of each file (especially those who have defined FILE_ATTRIBUTE_OFFLINE) when I browse a directory (at least if I browse it for the first time) or should Explorer honor FILE_ATTRIBUTE_OFFLINE and not read these files?

If Explorer works as expected, is there a way to change this behavior?

Best regards, Dirk

  • The Windows XP Explorer crash when checking the USB SD OEM-builtin card reader properties

    Hello, people.

    It's my only known PC malfunction, and initially, it worked without problem. The question began at a time not very long before a recent update failure. The problem is related to the card reader SD OEM-builtin of the Pavilion. Windows XP is unable to connect to this player when my 4 GB SDHC card is slipped into the SD card reader, an error box quote as 'due to an error IO peripheral."  and somehow this blocks / crashes Windows explore (IE no.not) with the 4 GB card in drive F:-SD reader.  But Windows and the reader work very well when my 32 MB SDHC card reading. Both the 4 GB and 32 MB cards work fine in my Canon Power Shot and I can download the contents of the card of 4 GB (JPEG format) via a mini-USB cable for the camera as always, but burning the battery juice in the batteries in the camera. I'd rather take the camera SDHC card and empty its JPEG files in the SD drive. I don't think that it is able, barely used player until three or four months ago. I'll also post this question to the Canon forum and maybe HP forum, but I would like to have some ideas as well on the side of Windows.

    It occurs to me, I don't know how many contacts on the card is active in dealing with the 32 MB. I expect that the 4 GB card should use almost all of the pins; I was wondering if a unused pin in size of 32 MB can be failed do contact and this could corrupt the ease of use of the 4 GB card.

    FYI - my system is HP Pavilion a1020n, five years old. It includes the processor Intel P4 CPU, has 130 GB free on the system partition, and has been upgraded from two years to 2 GB RAM DDR2 PC2 - 4200. OS is Win XP Professional x 86 SP3 with .net all Frameworks 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, 4 customer and extended 4, IE 8.00.6001.18702, most Silverlight 4.0.50917.0 to patched. All the .NET Frameworks are patched, except that the last .NET two patches for the version 2.0 and 3.5, KB2418241 and KB2416473, both failed several trying to install, and I'm looking for help with that in a posted question, but if you think of these malf are linked, please let me know.

  • Game type "not specified" remove the Windows 7 Explorer game.

    I've seen several forums around this subject, but none of them does not solve my problem.  I have a file in my Games Explorer classified as a type of file "not specified."  I went through several records, including "C:/users / AppData/local/Microsoft/Windows/Game Explorer' and 'C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\GameExplorer' that do not contain the file I want to delete.  Nothing comes up when I right click on icon, either.

    I found a forum with a link which has been said to have the solution, but the page just says "Service unavailable" page was:

    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/42496-Games-Explorer-folder-delete-game.html

    If anyone happens to recognize this URL, it would be great if you could tell me what he said, except that I'm open to suggestions on other ways to get rid of this icon.

    System Restore solved the problem, I just had to try several times until I got just restore point where the icon has disappeared, but it didn't remove all the others either.  Now the icons under the tabs of Internet Explore are all screwed up (icons wrong showing upwards to the wrong sites), but I suspect that will disappear in time, otherwise I can reinstall IE.

  • Why Firefox execute Javascript in the reference of the window / tab context what target = "_blank" is used with a uri: data?

    I put a link to _blank target. With the href attribute set to one with a data uri tag script, and context of the previous window runs the javascript code. This happens with the help of Window.Open ()? This would allow an attacker with XSS to steal data localStorage and apparently has no way for a developer to isolate the execution context of the window. My question is, why a uri: data run script in the previous window (ie the window with the target = "_blank" attribute set) context even if it opens in a new tab? And how a developer supposed to isolate framework Javascript window, since _blank not do?

    JavaScript allows access between windows (for example, using the window.opener property in the window 'child').

    What is the attack, you want to protect you against?

  • The Windows Setup program does not open. Stuck with black screen.

    Hi all

    I'm trying to install windows 7 from an iso file using Bootcamp assistant, Version 6.0.1 but unfortunately just windows installer does not open so I'm stuck with this black screen. I left my sit MacBookPro autour with this black screen during more than half an hour and after awhile, it gets really hot so I interrupted the "process."

    I have reset the NVRAM (command + alt + p + r) which did nothing.

    I followed the instructions of bootcamp. I downloaded the correct drivers for my model of mac pro book, I created a bootable and partitioned my drive.

    The forum has a lot of "black screen problems" but none of their solutions worked for me.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you

    1. leave BCA creates the installer from USB, but not to partition your drive.

    2. download the correct drivers to install Windows 7 and previous versions on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple Support and replace $WinPEDriver$, AutoUnattend.xml, and the entire folder on the drive flash USB2 Bootcamp.

    3. run BCA, connect the USB cable and click only the Windows Installer and test if the Setup program starts.

    NOTE: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly.

    One more step. I found another option in Windows Explorer: "Hide protected files of the operating system (recommended)". Just in case where you need help to find this option:

    1. Open Windows Explorer
    2. If not display the menu (file, edition, view, tools, help) options, click ALT
    3. Click on tools
    4. Select folder options...
    5. Click the view tab
    6. Untick: Hide the protected files (recommended) operating system

    You can now see and search for files hidden, protected from the operating systems such as Thumbs.db.

    I use fast empty folder of http://listeningpc.com Finder to find and remove empty folders.

    Hope this helps someone else.
