• Try to copy a folder with subfolders, some don't copy, get the message that the folder names are too long under Windows 7

  Hi, when you try to copy a folder with lots of subfolders, some files don't copy.  I get a message that the folder names are too long, and the only option is to ignore these files.  Anyone know the maximum folder (and also) name length that will copy windows 7?

  Thank you

  Hello
   
   
  a. What are the data you're trying to move?
  b. what operating system (for example Windows files) files?
  c. What is the method that you use to copy data?
   
   
  Windows 7 supports filename up to 260 characters. I would ask you to decrease the characters in the file name and then try to copy the files.
  
  Let us, run disk checking hard disk utility and then check.
  Here's how:
  1. open the computer by clicking the Start button, click computer.
  2. click on the drive you want to check, and then click Properties.
  3. click on the Tools tab and then, under check for errors, click Find now. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  To automatically repair problems with files and folders that the scan detects, select automatically fix file system errors. Otherwise, the disk check will be a problem, but not to fix them.
  To perform a thorough check, select search and attempt to recover bad sectors. This analysis tries to find and repair physical errors on the disk itself, and it may take much longer to complete.
  To check for errors file and the physical errors, select both automatically fix errors in file system and search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.
  4. click on start.
   
   
  Depending on the size of your drive, it may take several minutes. For best results, do not use your computer for any other tasks while it checks errors.
   
  Important: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.
   
  I hope this helps.

  Thank you, and in what concerns:

• Binder to move my profile on another computer. Thunderbird file names are too long

  Hi, I am trying to copy my profile for a new installation on another computer (win 7 box to win box of 8). In the past, it worked smoothly without any problem (did not have to do it for a few years).

  I packed my profile in winRAR and copied over the network to the new box. Then when I tried to UN-package, I get 1 403 error (for example):
  C:\Users\bishwa\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\Thunderbird.rar: Failed to create Thunderbird\Profiles\kvab3n9j.default\Mail\Local Folders\Archives.sbd\2008.mozmsgs\!~!UENERkVCMDkAAQACAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABgAAAAAAAAAtzIdrbNYbEyD2Ii4jsEC1sKAAAAQAAAAiX4V0vbwoEOHNtCONhiLYAEAAAAA%40netspace.net.au.wdseml

     Total path and file name length must not exceed 260 characters
     The system cannot find the path specified.
  

  I am running the latest version of Thunderbird.

  So is this a fundamental flaw with the design of software and how it plays today with Windows? Is there a work around?

  Thank you!

• Seagate drive in the BIOS but can't see it in the file manager

  Earlier this week, I installed a Solid State Drive as my boot drive. It works very well. I want to use 2 TB Seagate that came with my Inspiron 3847 as backup devices (slave) and I also want to take 10 Windows out of it. I can see the drive in device (drive 1) Manager and in the BIOS (SATA 2), but I can't see it in the file manager so I can reformat the drive. This particular model (ST2000DM001-1ER64) has no jumpers to set it as a slave drive. Seagate said it is automatic. I am stuck as to how I solve this problem. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

  Hi ssd user,.

  Happy new year!

  There is no such thing as master or slave with SATA drives. Try to go to disk management, search your drive and check if a drive letter has been attributed to it. I suspect that you must select a drive letter, then it should appear in the file Explorer.

  running windows xp, update java 7 51, norton antivirus says file is ok, please help

  HI DJDOLLARROB,

  Thanks for posting, as you might expect, there are troubleshooting you can undertake to check why the download does not work. It is highly possible that the source that you have downloaded from cannot be no longer works. Is there a site that you can check to see if it does not work for them either? Also where it is downloaded from?

  Otherwise please see if scanitemswhendone is enabled: change what Firefox does when you click on or download a file

  If download hangs at the last minute (just before reaching 100%), the cause may be an antivirus software that tries to parse the file and during this process the instance of Firefox crashes.

  To resolve the issue, try disabling the analysis as follows:

  1. In the address bar, type Subject: config and press enter. The subject: config "this might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
  2. Click on I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue on the subject: config page. A list of parameters must appear
  3. Filter the list by typing in the search bar at top. Enter scanWhenDone. Now you should find the "browser.download.scanWhenDone" preference.
  4. Double-click this preference to set the value to false.
  5. Then, try to download something and see if it still crashes.

• File/folder preserved but can still edit and save the file

  Nice day

  I just want to ask how to protect a file/folder on Windows 7 from deletion, but I can still edit and save to the same file... (the file/folder is shared on other computers)...
  Thanks in advance...
  Lorenz

  You can go in the advanced security settings and explicitly deny file record all users "deleting subfolders and files" and "Remove" permissions, make sure that you propagate permissions to all child objects.  But, as mentioned by another poster, if users can change the files they can damage or save them as empty files.

• Adobe Action: Save in JPEG, but stop to make me change the file name?

  I need to save about 100 different JPEG files based on a model with different texts in each JPEG.

  I have my layers put in place a model behind, and all layers of text 100 on each other. So I turn on one at a time the text layers and save as JPEG with different names.

  I find it is a very difficult process, as I select "save under", then scroll the file types to select JPEG, then save it with the desired name.

  Is there a way to speed up, to create an action that opens the dialog box "Save as" with JPEG ALREADY selected so everything what I have to do is paste the new file name in? Or any other suggestions?

  Skip a single step to scroll in the dialog box "save under" select JPEG save me tons of time. But I can not understand how... I can only find a way to create an action to "save under" that bears the same name.

  Thank you very much!

  Why not just save a step select the folder you want to save on save slot, use the drop-down list menu file type select Jpeg and click Save. Stop recording action turn on the Sava in the dialogue of the stage and assign a function to the action button. When you use the key yoh all have to do is name of the file.

  Hi MatthewMessmer,

  1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
  2. You receive the error message when you try to install a program on the computer?
  3. You have security software installed on the computer?

  Method 1

  First restart the computer and try to install programs on the computer.

  I suggest that you restart the Windows Installer service and check if it helps.

  Refer to the article below and try the steps listed in the section Windows installation problems, check to see if it helps.

  How to troubleshoot issues that may occur when you install, uninstall, or upgrade one program on a Windows computer

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2438651

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails, then temporary disable the security software on the computer and check if that helps.

  Important: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
