To create shareable photo on the D: drive folders

We have a PC running Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3.  There are 4 user accounts all configured as directors.

The PC hard disk is partitioned into a C: (OS) drive and a drive D: (DATA).  Currently, almost everything is stored on the C: drive, which is almost full, and the D: drive is generally not used.

To mitigate the problem of space on the C: drive, I want to spend our photos of different "my pictures" and "Shared pictures" folder on the C: drive in a new folder on the D: drive while maintaining the same functionality that we currently - specifically, the new folder must be accessible by all user accounts 4, and the folder must be treated as a 'Pictures' folder so that images like 'Point of view as a slide show. are available.  Is this possible?

I tried to test this, but the results so far are not promising.  If I create a folder on the D: drive, it is accessible only by the user account that created the file - other users get an error "access denied."  I've seen other posts that mention using the Security tab to allow access on the folder properties window, but I can't get a Security tab appears (even when Windows is started in safe mode).

Any ideas?

in the Explorer.exe (files and folder browser, no internet), click on "Tools" > "folder options" > click the tab 'View' and then at the bottom of the list "Advanced settings" and uncheck "Use simple file sharing (recommended)", then click OK. Now you can see the file security tab in the properties, and you can add other users to the allow list. You can control if they can only read or actually write, copy, delete files too with permissions "full." Once you have added the appropriate permissions for the user (s), then don't forget to go back and check "Use sharing simple files (recommended)" if it's like it was before you started. Keep the value permissions :)

MS has something 'power tools' that will allow you to define a different directory of your default "photos" folder - so it can point to the path of the D: drive. This tool is called "Tweak UI" and is available here on the website of MS' (somewhere). With Tweak UI, the section called 'My computer' > 'Special files' may end your request.

You will have to perhaps connect with each profile and define their folder of photos with Tweak UI as well.

Yes, it can be done :)

    The same way that you moved the library before, except with the disc source and destination reversed. The Photos application must always be on the startup disk.

  • Satellite A100-192: what I lose warranty if I create a partition on the HARD drive

    Hello everyone,

    I want to format my laptop (Toshiba Satellite A100-192) and 2 partitions. I've been using EMP cd + recovery CD, it's very simple, but I don't want to install all the programs of Toshiba. I want to install a Windows 'fresh '.

    I read all the messages on Toshiba Express media CD + recovery CD and xxxx on the HARD drive. I'm a bit confused. Many of you said: 'use only EMP recovery cd + CD' or ' do not xxxx 2 or more on your HARD drive - you can lose the warranty of your laptop.

    I have another CD with Windows XP Pro OEM. It is best to create partitions, install from that cd and after that to install the drivers from TOOLSCD?

    Of course, I don't want to lose my warranty, please tell me how it is better to do!

    Sincerely yours.
    Daniel

    Hello

    > Many of you said: 'use only EMP CD + recovery CD' or '' do not 2 or more partitions on your HARD drive.
    ' > you can lose the warranty of your laptop.

    Someone told you a big story :)

    It turns out; you do not lose the warranty after you create partitions on your HARD drive!
    Only if you open the laptop and will try to fix something by yourself, you will lose your warranty.

    Of course, you can use your fresh and original Windows operating system. After the installation of the operating system, you can install the drivers from the CD tools Toshiba or you're going to download it from the page of Toshiba.

  • Can I remove photos from photos on the hard drive of my macbook, but keep them in iCloud?

    I just used icloud to "backup" 80 GB of photos that are on the hard drive of my macbook. I'm now able to remove them from my macbook without losing them on iCloud?

    All advice appreciated!

    Welcome to the Apple community.

    With iCloud library enabled, you cannot delete a photo on a device (or iCloud.com) without deleting each device which uses iCloud photo library (iCloud.com). In order to save space on your mobile devices (and indeed your Mac if you want to) turn on the optimization of the pictures on these devices (settings > photos & camera > optimize storage on your mobile device and Photo preferences > optimize storage on your Mac)

    Dynamic optimization, it reduces the resolution of your photos, if necessary, so that you don't notice it occurring initially. However, when necessary, it is very effective, and users have reported libraries being optimized for much less than 10% of their original size in some cases. My own library is about 9% of its original on my phone size.

  • Photos app: Import Photos from the hard drive

    Hello

    I have a number too many photos on my hard disk, divided into several folders (albums).
    When I try the import option, from the Photos App it shows me all the photos (3000) on my hard drive and I have to choose each picture to import.
    It is a simple and hassle-free way to achieve by choosing just one folder to import?
    Any help much appreciated.

    raghavendralr, once you have your photos on your computer Windows 8 files, you will need to include the folder where you have your photos in the photo library so that the Photos app to see.  Then you should be able to use the Photos app to browse your photos.

    To add a folder to your photo library, right click on the folder in the desktop browser, select "Include in the library" - "Images".  More details: in Office Explorer (to open it, press Win - E), expand the node for the computer in the left pane and continue to expand folders until you see the folder that contains your photos.  In the left pane, right click on the folder icon and select from the contextual pop-up menu "Include in the library" - "Images".

    Return of the Photos app, click the thumbnail of the picture library on the home page, you should see the contents of your folder newly added shortly.

    Alternatively you can copy/move your files in your existing images folder which is by default already in your photo library.  In the left pane of the Explorer desktop, expand libraries - images to see what files are in your photo library already.

    Hope that helps.

    Hi James,

    Shutterfly and Adobe have recently agreed to remove the print service to Shutterfly who has been integrated into Photoshop Elements. Therefore, options related to the order of prints by Shutterfly are no longer available in Photoshop Elements.

  • videos and photos in the iCloud drive?

    I would use iCloud as an external hard drive.
    I want to keep my pictures and videos on iCloud and remove them from my phone.
    I understand that if I delete the pictures and videos from my iphone which photos and videos will remove also iCloud.
    I now have a plan of storage of 1 t because I can't afford to lose photos or videos, and now my MacBook Pro is also complete.
    Another thing is that my iphone can not save on the iCloud - it is April 2015 and it has never worked since.
    All opinions are appreciated.
    See you soon
    Darren

    iCloud library is not designed as an external storage or a backup service. It is designed as a synchronization service to put at the disposal of all your images on all your devices and sync all of your changes to these devices.

    If you are short on storage space, set the settings of your Photos to keep only a local library optimized. Library of photos on your computer should, however, be at full resolution, so it acts as a backup in iCloud. Buy an external hard drive if you wish.

  • How to create an image of the hard drive on a PXI-8186

    I have a PXI-8186.  I want to make a backup copy of the current state of the hard disk of the controller.  Is there a way to do this?  I tried the Acronis software, but this controller may be to old for this.

    Another message similar to this is that one, but it has not helped with the 8186.

    http://forums.NI.com/NI/board/message?board.ID=270&message.ID=5656&requireLogin=false

    Thanks in advance.

    Mark L,

    Your PXI-8186 is Phonix Firstware software of imagery to controllers.  This software has a type of run-time license that allows the controller of our image re-imaging.  The development license is not supplied with the controller.

    To create a new image of your HARD drive, you will need to use a third party software like Norton Ghost or Acronis Disk Director.

  • Thinking I would create a space on the D drive, I now have unallocated space 115 and D warnings is full, how do I cancel this error?

    My D drive is almost full and I wanted to reduce it to get more memory, instead I chose to 115 as unallocated. Now I get an error message that D is almost full.

    Check if your D drive is your recovery Partition...
    Start > computer > if the player shows about 10 to 15 GB. It is the recovery partition.
    Your recovery partition D is implemented by the manufacturer of your computer in the event of serious problems in your system.
    You use it to restore your system.

    You are NOT supposed to touch it... not for nothing is add or remove anything from.
    Drice D: get not complete without you add inside elements, for example use it for files backup etc. If you have added items which he, you have unusable your recovery Partition.


    You call the manufacturer of the computer, tell them the situation...

    1 ask them for a set of recovery DVD to reinstall Vista, in which case the system crashes.
    2. ask how to remove backup files or elements that are NOT supposed to be there.
    They created the recovery partition, they know how to take care of it.
    Let them teach how you to.
