• What are the causes my download folder keep freezing?

  I have windows XP on both computers and computers that keeps freezing of the download folder. When I open it it takes around one minute before the content of the record shows. then when it dose I can't scroll the page but only one line at a time, and I have to wait 30 to 60 seconds before it scrolls to the next row. a few times, this caused the failed computer. the reason why he gave the accident was a file system unresponsive and cause windows to become unstable.
  I noticed the file system named inches if I remove this file, download folder will start to act directly and freely, I can scroll the page, but in 30 to 60 seconds, thumbs back, when it dose the scrolling starts hang up again. There is also another system called desktop file. It doesn't seem to be at the origin of the problems, but its not always... If the file Thumbs is the cause. How do I keep it out of my download folder? It is perhaps not what is the cause. but I would like to solve this problem. its very aggravating.

  Hi Mokey Moke,
   
  This problem could be due to some virus or malware camoufalged himself as a folder inches.
   
  Use the Microsoft Safety Scanner and scan your computer to get rid of the virus or malware.
   
  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

• Stuck in the downloads folder Documents in Vista folder

  It seems that at some point, I accidentally managed to move the My Documents folder in my downloads folder, and I can't bring it back to my user profile folder. The link to the documents folder now points to the downloads folder as well as my user profile. If I try to move the rear backrest, overwrite the 'shortcut' in the user folder, or delete shortcuts it deletes the actual file permanently. Needless to say I lost a lot of important issues, as is, I managed to recover some of them through the system restore, but because this feature is not intended to change my personal files it can't solve my problem or restore the most important files, regardless of the back where I'm going. 

  I could really use help when setting at least my problem with duplicate folders of Documents without losing the original. I like to keep the special classification as a user also profile folder well (he having this special icon and the link in the start menu). That would be easily solved by using the snapshot feature on Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, but I use Home Premium on this computer. I don't understand how such a feature could be reserved for the ultimate when it could be used to solve all problems resulting of the ridiculous PIPs in the OS itself. I always liked Windows but moves like that always make me wonder why I bother.

  Here are the steps on how to move the profile personal user shell folders in Vista (I don't know how you move them to download without using this procedure - is the Documents folder always blue?). http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/107990-personal-user-shell-folders-move-location.html.  Quite honestly I don't know what will happen in your situation with two folders of Documents - as long as move you to the location appropriate, I don't think that something will happen to the content, but I have never tried this with duplicates before.  I make a copy of one (a normal copy) and save it as somewhere just in case if we have data somewhere else not involved in the process and that can be used to re-create a Documents folder appropriate if worse comes to worse.

  Assuming a normal situation, this procedure might work, but I don't know how you have moved in the first place so I am not sure that move the right way will set things back to normal.  However, even if it's not we can still solve the problem with a differentt procedure I will post if necessary.  BTW, System Restore does not retrieve data files - ITI specifically excludes the so that they are not lost when a restore is required (and so it is not to retrieve them).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Why my "Downloads" folder lasts more than five minutes to load? (Probably due by MSE)

  I have a very big downloads folder:
  5 419 files
  759 files
  30.0 GB

  I prefer to keep both as - is; However, recently it has started to take several minutes to load in Windows Explorer. Basically whenever I select the folder (either directly under my account user, either by a "Favorites" link), this green progress bar appears in the path box at the top... He continued slowly for a few minutes until what he finished. The real problem that is boring is that, while it is loading, I can't find (indexed), sort, or do anything. (The cursor shows that it is 'work'). In addition, it happens everytime I go in this directory!

  I'm pretty sure that the problem is with Microsoft Security Essentials. Under the resource monitor, subheading 'disc', dozens, or even hundreds of lines appear with the image of MsMpEng.exe (engine of Microsoft Security Essentials), probably one for each file in my downloads folder. In addition, I have confirmed that the problem disappears if I exclude this directory in MSE. However, I of course want to keep the downloads folder (which is probably the most important record to analyze new elements that I upload them!)

  Finally, I must point out that the column 'Date of access' is updated to the current date/time for about 1/3 of the files and all subfolders. I can't find a pattern for which files have their set "consulted" to date; However, none of these values are more than a month (although I certainly do not have access to many of these files for years.) (I.e. all my files are 'accessible' either immediately or in the past month.)

  Most likely, something to mark these files as 'dirty' every time - I access this folder, so pull up the re antivirus engine - check everything. Anyone know what could be the cause? Is that what I can do besides excluding this MSE folder?

  Thank you very much in advance for your help!
  MikeY

  So, how does it work if you uninstall MSE?

  You can allways then reinstall it

  UPDATE (29/07/2012) (SEE BELOW, NOT QUITE RESOLVED.  :()
  As expected, since excluding the 'downloads' folder of the MSE has worked, uninstall MSE also worked. However, I like MSE and want to analyze my downloads folder ;)
  UPDATE: I think I thought of her! In this case, I was running "Process Explorer" (Sysinternals) on Windows startup and pretty much all the time. Thinking that MSE could be analysis all programs that are running, I moved procexp.exe to another folder and set it at the start of this version.
  Once I did, MSE now allows me to open the file downloads without re - check everything.
  My life-lesson from this: If you run an executable file, make sure it is in a different directory other random files, otherwise MSE will constantly check their.
  Thanks for all your help!
  I will update this as "resolved" in a few days when I am sure that it really worked and it is not a chance.
  MikeY
  UPDATE (29/07/2012) :(
  Unfortunately, I see a few problems. First off, while moving ProcessExplorer for this directory he stopped the analysis of each file, each time, I opened the file, it always scans the first time I open the directory each tile. Only after waiting five minutes the first time I can then move freely in this directory. Of course, this is not ideal.
  
  
  I did some follow-up work on this:
  
  
  • I completely uninstalled MSE. Obviously, it worked. However, I then installed the antivirus NOD32. Guess what? It still freezes when opening the downloads folder! This time, instead of the hundreds of lines of "MsMpEng.exe" - billing in the resource monitor, I see hundreds of lines "ekrn.exe! (I.e., it does the same thing!)
  • I actually just moved into a new downloads folder. I found that can be summed up these kinds of folder names. (I.e., I was able to have a new folder that is displayed when I select "[UserName] / downloads.") In other words, when you download things, it appears exactly the same thing, I'm just getting started with a new directory. However, even if the library and the user subpath now point to the new folder, I change not the absolute path to my old files directory. This way I can keep the countless maps/executable shortcuts, etc. in this mega-file.
  
  
  I still think I've hit on something fundamental here. I hope I've learned why I'm causing AV systems across this large number of files, hay son as he shouldn't be testing of thousands of files that haven't changed.
  
  
  Thanks again!

• 'downloads' folder missing from the dock.

  I have accidentally deleted my folder "downloads" of my dock. How do I restore it?

  I'm on a retina MacBook Pro 13 inch, mid-2014. OS X Yosemite 10.10.5

  I tried to drag the original on the quay "Downloads" folder, as I do with the applications. It will not drop to the dock.

  I tried to create an alias for the folder and add it to the docking station. Still, it will not drop to the dock.

  I tried to find some settings for the dock that could guide me. The settings are limited, without anything to help me with my problem.

  Any ideas on what I'm missing?

  Thank you.

  From your users, do folder drag the folder downloads at the dock but make sure that you are placing on the right side of the dock, there should be a vertical gray line of feint on the platform where you put files and apps right to the left.

• Is it possible to recover a word file that is saved to the downloads folder, but who was later removed at the close of mozilla?

  Yes, I searched on how to possibly get a word document that has been lost. Unfortunately, I did not save backups, so I did that.

  Other people asking if you can recover the lost data of download folder that has wiped got a "no, cannot it" answer, but it's not good enough for me.

  I know that when these files have been deleted, they have not get shredded and with corresponding software that can recover files from sqlite database stores data, you can get the data back. My question is, how can I retrieve my document from a sqlite file word file? Also, how can I identify with most recent files sqlite that erased on my computer?

  Thank you

  Hello, firefox does not save your downloaded files in a sqlite database, but directly in the download on your disk directory. what you might be able to extract your downloads (ctrl + j) history is a url to a file for the re - download.
  You can also try running a program like "recuva" to restore material deleted on your drive, but it is out of the scope of support for mozilla products...

• SUSPICIOUS. DOWNLOAD SAFARI FILE IN THE DOWNLOAD FOLDER

  HELLO, FOR SOME TIME I FOUND SEVERAL. DOWNLOAD FILES IN MY DOWNLOAD FOLDER: ILS WEIGHT RANGING FROM 20 TO 100 KB AND WHEN I TRY TO OPEN AN ERROR WINDOW DISPLAYS, EVEN THE INFORMATION THEREON ARE USELESS, I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THEY CAME FROM... IS IT A VIRUS OR WHAT? ANY CLUE?

  Thank you

  

  Well, if there are some suspicious files "downloaded" in box you then you must NEVER open them because if they are a virus then it's not on your computer. not the reason why I said 'download' with the ' ' is because hackers have a way of putting false downloads in your box, then when you open them they give you the virus. in other words, they could get them you now is if you have opened a strange e-mail that you didn't know who it was, since, they could put a simple hack on your computer to download the fake files which contain the actual virus. So what I would do, is go to apple and ask them to look at and make sure that everything is ok.

• Why can't I see my downloads in the downloads folder? (Android 4.2.1 Jellybean)

  I just got the new Google Nexus 4 and turned mobile Firefox as my main browser, but I recently discovered a problem. When I download a file (such as a PDF) out of a site to read with quickoffice Android, no file will in app downloads Android. I assumed that the file was only bring bring temporarily a file downloaded for a while from view but when I tried this same process with mobile Chrome, has been in the application of downloads. I installed a third party for the browser on my phone and looked into the downloads folder, it showed for my phone and discovered the files I was downloading with Firefox in it. It seems that Firefox does not display the files downloaded in the download provided with Android application which is a problem because it means that without a third party for the browser, you can not get rid of them. (Petty for sizes but they eventually fill your storage of phones). A download folder is provided with Firefox? Downloads is visible in the application downloads stock?

  Using stock download required additional permissions. We didn't add the following permission to the app.

  DOWNLOAD FILES WITHOUT NOTIFICATION

  Allows the application to download files via the download manager without any notification to the user.

  Downloads can be viewed using a file browser. Personally, I like OI File Manager as it is exactly what I need and nothing more.

• Download a file should implement an option to open the file or save it - for some reason any now just downloading it straight to the download folder. Why? Problem with Firefox or something else?

  Download a file would normally bring up an option to open the file with the appropriate program or save it - for some reason any now just downloading it straight to the download folder. Why? Problem with Firefox or something else? It is very frustrating - sometimes, you want the first opened file so it can be discarded or stored in a different location.

  Find the type of file in the Firefox -> Options -> Applications Panel, open its menu drop-down and select 'ask '. To reset all the actions of download, delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in your Firefox profile folder (or rename the mimeTypes.rdf X if you want to save as a backup). The file will be regenerated with all types of files, restore the default actions.

  For more information, see application Panel - set how Firefox handles different file types and change what Firefox does when you click on or download a file .

• ? mark on the download folder

  I tried to download something that has created a "?" on my download in the dock folder. I deleted the download more recent but the? is still there. What this means and how do I get rid of him?

  Drag the icon from the dock downloads folder, hold a second and then let go and puffff he went.

  Open Finder, goto your file, in there select the folder downloads, then drag it to the dock (same place as before).

• Unable to show the downloads in the downloads folder

  I bought and downloaded video clips. They are in the Firefox downloads folder. I can play them when the clips are downloaded, but after 24 hours, if I right click and try to open the folder containing, it is grayed out. I noticed that they are placed in my Temp folder on drive C when you first download. Once I've saved the file to the Temp on My Documents folder and returns to it and able to play. It occurs to me, I maybe made a fundamental error when download begins. I wonder if I want to play on Windows Media Viewer and there is also the alternative of a backup option. I assumed that all the downloaded files may be automatically saved in the file download Firefox. Should I have selected the button 'save' instead? There seems to be that no security no questions because the size and location of the file details always appear under the file name.

  If you choose to play the files as they are uploaded in the temp folder and can be deleted at any time.
  If you want to keep them then you must register first to another location before you play them or copy them to the temp folder.
  The latter may not work correctly if.
