Using Windows 7 I lost access to 'My Documents'

I deleted the shortcut to a folder, then the folder, I do not have (I even know the name of the folder).  Now I can't access all the files in my library, I can recover?  I have already checked the trash, but did not find the file deleted or shortened.

  • I use Windows XP SP3 and cannot open My Documents, my pictures, my music and my computer

    Original title: can not open files

    I use Windows XP SP3 and cannot open My Documents, my pictures, my music and my computer. I get no errors, but nothing happens when I click on one of them.

    Hello

    Thanks for the reply. I managed to solve the problem before you receive your advice to defragment my hard drive. I had the problem on / off power for about six months and defragmentation has not always been successful success so when it happens then I will go through the procedures that you have listed. I have installed and uninstalled various applications in the last six months and suspect that the register is not in optimum condition... I have a problem during a shutdown or reboot stop where I get an error of tfswctrl.exe I close and the system then hangs and requires a medical examination. Is there, by chance, a Microsoft utility that cleans up the registry for applications that have been uninstalled, but be persistent pieces that shouldn't be there?

    Thanks again for your advice.

  • How change using Windows 7 Ultimate file Access Denied so can access.

    Using Windows 7 Ultimate I am the administrator of the computer. I use MSN to my browser window and tried to move my list of favourites on IE (which is not easy). MSN browser does not allow export of a file. MSN told me to locate the MSN folder # in the application Data folder but I'm here and I'm denied. Where can I make changes that allows me to access this folder?

    Anyone who knows an easy way to move this folder Favorites let me know. So far MSN of course does not help. Frustrating!

    Thank you

    Hi James,

    If you want to give all permissions for each files and folders, you must give permission to the root of the drive (means where the operating system is installed), but give permission to the root of the drive can cause serious problems (such as data loss or incompatibility and registry entry edit permission).

    You can see the previous post to change permissions.

    Warning:  Important this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

  • Lost access to the documents after restart

    I had to reboot your computer due to hardware malfuntion. After the reboot, all the old data was recorded in a folder called my old programs. The computer has two user accounts. The two Adminstratotrs, one with password protection, the other without. Documents of the user account with password are not accessible, even if they are still on the hard drive and appear on the virus scan.

    What do you mean "not accessible"? Have you seen them but get an error "access denied"? If Yes, then you just need to take ownership of files.

  • I can't open the files with the extension .wmv either... I use Windows XP

    When I receive files with file extension wmv I can't open them?  Why?

    Hottaye,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.

    You use Windows Media Player to access the .wmv file? If this isn't the case, follow these steps:

    1. save the WMV file on your disk.

    2. then, right click, click on Open withand then click Choose default program.

    3. in the open with dialog box, click Windows Media Player, and then click OK.

    In case you don't have it:

    Windows Media Player download

    You receive an error message?  Can you play other .wmv files that you do not receive as an attachment?  In Windows Media Player, play a different file that uses the same extension of file name as the file that you were using when you received the error message. If the other file plays correctly, then you try to play the original file may be damaged.

    I can't wait to hear back on your part.

  • Error 0 x 80070570 when you access my flash drive using windows 7

    I get an error 0 x 80070570 when you access my flash drive using windows 7, but the same flash drive works perfectly on two other PC's with Windows XP. It's frustrating because I need to backup and transfer files.

    Hello
     
    1 you get an error message with this error code?
    2. is it a problem with this particular flash drive only or all flash drives?

    Let us run the check disk utility.
    Here's how:
    a. open the computer by clicking the Start button, click computer.
    b. click the drive you want to check, and then click Properties.
    c. click on the Tools tab and then, under error-checking, 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 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.
    d. Click 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.

  • Help w / lost notebooks (Win7, Palm Desktop 6.22) using WIndows player

    Hello

    Just to start with a new company (I copied my files Palm OS Desktop of old computer system) and after installing Palm Desktop 6.2.2 by Access.  I copied on my copy of Palm OS Desktop File System info) and I could see my addresses however, my memo were there intermittently.  However sometimes I can launch Palm Desktop and my memos are present and othertimes they lack UGH.

    I copied my files and still nothing.  I reinstalled Palm Desktop and now the memos are still missing.

    I don't have the installation path for the instance of WIndows 7 is c:\pgm files x86\Palm and also noted information has been written for C:\users\me\OneDrive\MyDesktop\Palm OS Desktop

    File names and sizes are:

    Memopad.dat = 2836 KB

    notebook (without extension but watch to be associated w / MS Access) = 100KB

    Memopad.mdb.bak = 100 KB

    Memopad.mdb = 100 KB

    Uiprefs.dat = 1 KB

    After discovering the OneDrive info, I thought I could have the system shutdown event a replication and corrupt it however, I played a bit to rename the memopad.dat to .old and still nothing seems to me my pads.   I copied my files Palm OS Desktop system in the Office of OS C:\users\me\OneDrive\MyDesktop\Palm to see if that would help and it did not.

    I have data in Notepad format mid-90... really need my data!

    Is there another tool that I can use to open these categories memopad and pads?

    Really need help,

    The installation directory is strange - I agree that could be the source of the problem.

    On the laptop ready Win8.1, I have the HP (for my participation in the Forums), the directory is:

    C:\Users\ < I > \Documents\PalmOS Desktop

    I backup the user data, uninstall Palm Desktop, and then reinstall and pay attention to where she has choices.

    A clean uninstallation may be necessary:

    These instructions are for Vista, but should work for Win7.

    You first need to you a copy of your data to have just in case something happens. You can find your data files by clicking on start-> Documents-> Palm OS Desktop. Highlight your Palm Desktop user name and right click and copy. Then go to the desktop of your PC, click on a blank spot block and select.

    If this is the first time, you install Palm desktop and encounter a problem, go to the previous step. If you are not concerned about your data at this stage, go to the next step.

    Now, you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove anything that has to do with Palm Desktop on your computer. Go to the following locations on the PC and delete the folders listed below. [C:\Program Files\Palm or C:\Users\[Vista Palm connection name] \appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or PalmOne C:\Users\[Vista Login Name] \appdata * note you may need to show hidden folders to join appdata. To do than to go into your control panel and open folder options. Go to tab and uncheck hide hidden files.

    When you use Palm desktop 6.2, look in my documents or documents and delete the folder Office of PalmOS. It is the location of the PD 6.2 data files.

    Once this is done, you will need to remove certain keys in the registry of your PC operating system.

    Word of warning, go here and removing the wrong thing can cause your PC to start, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel that you are not sure of yourself, see if you have a friend who can help you or a PC technician that you can pay to help you. This procedure will show them everything they need to remove. To make sure that we have a good copy of the current registry, we make a backup of the registry.

    Go to start on your PC in the search box type "regedit.exe" without the quotes.

    Point peak COMPUTER, go to file-> Export. Should appear with a save as box. Current place of residence is fine, must be within My Documents, or save to a location that you will remember. In the name of the file in low type "backup [todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Then, the most difficult part.

    The best way to ensure that your work with the right key, select the key that is installation quick palm and press delete on your keyboard. You will be asked, you of course. Say Yes. Do the same for all the keys below.

    If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician. BUT do not turn off your computer.

    The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of the theses reg keys will not be here, but if they remove them)

    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer * Robotics\Pilot Desktop HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc. * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm

    Then, restart your computer.

    Then, reinstall your Palm desktop and do a hotsync. If request you a user name, enter the name that is on your device in the upper right of the screen to hotsync.

  • Issues with Dell desktop computer wireless and D-Link wireless network card. Only able to get wireless access by checking "Use Windows to configure my wireless network". This kind of file sharing impossible.

    original title: can't see the computer on wireless internet!

    I hope that's not too much detail, but I would like that the sequence of events to be clear...

    I have a Dell desktop computer that's probably six or seven years now.  It did not come with a wireless card, so I bought a DLink router and combo card wireless, install both with the DLink software.  It works beautifully.

    Later, we through my rep AT & T DSL, I got a Motorola modem/router with wireless capabilities.  I had plugged directly on my computer Dell desktop and moved to a Dell laptop DLink wireless receiver.  No problems.

    The Dell laptop is dead and the DLink receiver has not been used for a long time.  Family of my daughter moved to our place, and I have connected his desktop computers and laptop to wireless internet, using the Windows Connection Wizard.  Still no problem.

    I got a new ASUS laptop, I also linked using the Windows Wizard.  STILL no problem.

    Now, here's the problem comes.  I moved the Dell desktop computer, connected the DLink wireless receiver to it and I am able to get wireless access ONLY when I go into the properties of PC, click the wireless networks tab and check the "use Windows to configure my wireless network" box.  Then I can connect correctly, but I don't see this computer on my wireless network.  Bad luck... because I want to be able to access share files.  When I try to connect using different assistants of Windows, I get a message to the effect that, if I used another software to connect to the program, I can't use the Windows Wizard.

    So, what can I do to remove the original configuration of DLink completely and to connect to my wireless network using the wizards in Windows?  I uninstalled the software of DLink, but it seems to have no effect at all.

    BTW, Dell desktop computer is running XP, office computer of my daughter is running VISTA, and two laptops are equipped with Windows 7.  I can see all the computers on the network with the exception of the original Dell desktop computer wireless.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    You will need to create an account on the other PC the same as the one you have now.
     
    On both machines:
     
    Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced - Check: leave a copy of messages on the server.
     
    On a single computer only, make sure to delete messages after X days to satisfy your allocated space that you get from your server.
