Unable to find files and folders using Windows Search

• problem with the Finder - files and folders displaying incorrectly

  After acquiring a new iMac, I noticed a problem with the Finder - files and folders are displayed wrong (see table).

  This is what happens always after the files have been transferred from one folder to another. I was reminded of my days of using Mac OS in the 1980s when automatic setting of files was not so "automatic." I use Mac OS for decades and I don't remember the last time I had to think about GUI problems like that.

  Other problems in the graphical display of files and folders were introduced, such as when you have hundreds of files in a single folder, you end up deleting about 30 to 40 of them say in a particular section, and you end up with gaps of the ChartSpace where files used to be, that is the remaining files automatically rearrange themselves (fill in these gaps) - never. A week later, you open the folder, and the gap of GUI is still there.

  I decided to do a clean install of the operating system but nothing works.

  Is there some setting in Prefs I'm missing?

  

  Hi there highland99,

  Looks like your folder icons are not accommodating themselves automatically you plan to do. To me, this indicates that you have organize by the None value in the view menu. You can change the way files and folders are prepared automatically by clicking on view > reorganize by and selecting how you would like that fixed.

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

• Total deletion of emails and folders using Windows Mail

  I use Windows mail, last night (10/07/13) wiped my entire email, folders I created, everything. The only thing is that there are records of statndard. I was on a pop 3 and since his arrival in South Carolina last week and get rid of verizon I don't know what happened. During this time, he had 17 updates from microsoft, which had started the download as well. I tried to clean my system with Evidence Eliminator and this is the first time, this never happened. I was a sure stop where he cleans your files and then is supposed to be closed, because there no I did a manual stop with the power button when it started 17 updates, rebooted and then I check my emails and everything has disappeared? HELPPPPPP!

  Do a search for *.eml and include the hidden files and folders. See if get you what it is.

  You can also try a system restore. Not likely to work, but worth a try.

  Time to start backing up your messages, I think.

• How to set, view, change, or remove special permissions for files and folders in Windows XP

  It is a problem with iTunes. About 8 months ago I had to reinstall my operating system. When I reinstalled iTunes, it does not recognize my music already purchased. He tells me that songs should be allowed, I put my username and password and it tells me that they are allowed.

  So I finally emailed Apple support recently. They suggested that this is a problem with the permissions on the iTunes Media folder. Apple support gave me the following URL address: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308419/en-us.

  I followed the instructions on the Microsoft support site. But when I right click on the iTunes Media folder, and then click Properties, there is no security tab, with the following statement on the Microsoft Support site.

  I also tried the instructions for "If you are not joined to a domain and want to view theSecurity tab. "In Control Panel, I don't have the choice of themes & appearances. There is a choice of Folder Options, but once in the view tab, there is no choice ofuse simple file sharing.

  If you have any other questions, please let me know.

• All the apps to color code the names of files and folders from Windows 7, as on the Macintosh?

  Before I upgraded to Windows 7, I had a wonderful program on my XP machine called Xentient labels, which have changed the windows explore interface so I could have any icon file or folder on any drive highlighted in any color I want, as with Macintosh.  As a blind person it is very important to me and helps me organize and find things faster.
  Can anyone recommend any software that could do this for Windows 7, please?    Thanks for any help or advice!

• Unable to delete files and folders... 'You need permission system to make changes to this file.

  I am the administrator of the account. I can't remove the residue of some programs because of this message. As usual made all the bits to find the answer on the forum of Microsoft and other sites. None of them helped me so far. I also tried the modified permissions and changed a key .reg property. But nothing happened.

  It is dangerous to change the permissions of system, programs and registry locations.  These are tight to protect against malware that exploit the administrative accounts and compromise the entire system.

  The "residue" would be solve by using the uninstall utility program.

  That said, if you do not need to manually delete a folder, just be vary close.  For example, appropriating and remove a specific program of record, not all of the "Program files".  Basically, do not apply a new authorization to all the program files just to remove one file of boredom.  If you keep in mind, you open any hole by making changes to the authorization.

• I'm unable to open files and folders, they show with green text

  I was running windows vista and pc is dead.  I formatted the Windows 7 pc and managed to restore a large number of my documents but anyway (I have no idea how) some of my documents & records seem to have become encrypted.  They appear in green in the list of folders, and many of them seem to have the attributes "AE".  I tried everything to decrypt, but nothing seems to work. Can some one guide to remove encryption

  I don't know why a folder or a file would suddenly become encrypted.

  However if a website could tell you how to decipher it, what good encryption would be.

  What happens when you double-click one of the folders or files?

  If the files are encrypted, really, I don't think he has that you can do without the key.

  Original title: unlock files locked in the residential-change group of security settings does not (always says that I don't have permission even if I am Admin)

  I have a Windows 7 operating system. I am new to congregate.  I recently noticed that I was connected to a House Group 'network' and so I 'locked' cases to the case where I me be hacked (that I don't use other computers and thought it was strange).  Unfortunately, now that I want to access these files, it says I don't have permission and when I sometimes IN a folder, by allowing permissions administrator in the Security tab, I'm still stuck to see the documents by an error saying that I don't have permission.  I was rid of the congregate at a given moment, then 'active' it again with the idea that I should probably be in home group to make changes to the way they were.  I know that I blew it, but I don't know how to fix it!  Please help me to unlock these files!  I normally log - on as an administrator (no one else assigned to the computer), so I don't understand why I can't make changes to the permissions.

• How can I access the files and folders in Windows XP?

  Original title: Big Stick required

  For many years, I used XP Professional.  A few years ago, due to a scare, I added a password.  The disc recently got upset and the machine wouldn't boot.  The drive is now working as a slave on another PC, but now a number of files is not accessible.  I tried xcacls.vbs to view permissions without success.  Does anyone know a "big stick" to use in the circumstances, please?

  You should be able to take possession of the problematic files...
