When I drag and drop a file, it creates a shortcut does not copy the file. I want to copy the file instead create shortcut.

  • Drag
  • drop
  • Drag / move
  • copy
  • short cut
  • create

If you want to make a COPY of the file you drag (leaving the original where it is and make a copy in the place that you drop the file), and then hold down the control (Ctrl) key on your keyboard while you drag and drop, and she must make a copy in the new location.

Hold down the ALT key should make a link/shortcut to the original.  Now does no key should MOVE the file from the original location to the new location.

  • How to keep the spaces outside the files when you drag and drop them in a .bat file.

    I have a bat file, where I run a powershell script passing one argument which is a folder name. I added the file beats in my office, so I could just drag and drop a folder in the Explorer on the bat file.

    Works very well. With the exception of a killer detail. When I drag and drop a folder that has spaces, the process does not receive the full path. Space is causing the script to fail. Thus, for example, I can't drag & drop c:\program files\ in the bat file.

    Is there some setting in which case I can force drag & drop to use filename not spaced? Why don't the OS automatically in the argument with the quotes around it?

    In a command environment that it is practical common to surround with quotes of files names. If the names contain no spaces, then double quotes can be omitted. That is why your batch file should read

  • I've lost the ability to copy files on my CD player. When I drag and drop, the only authorized action is 'move' and it does not work.

    I've lost the ability to copy files on my CD player.  When I drag and drop, the only authorized action is 'move' and it does not work.   I tried press and hold the CTRL key while dragging, and when I do that all the other disks show "copy" as the default action, but when I hover over the action CD player available only changes to 'pass '.   I ran the Microsoft Troubleshooting tool for CD/DVD players and he said that the media were not writable, but there is a blank CD in the drive.  Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Thanks, but the cd/dvd drive works well - I can burn a cd with windows media player for example.  the problem is that I can't copy files to it.   I can play CDs (haven't checked the DVD).  I can not do and could do before, is doing drag and drop files on it.  The only authorized action is "move".   This happens even when I click CTRL + do drag.   I can copy it to any other player, but the CD player, and when I hover over the "exemplary" drive CD goes to 'move '.

  • I want out emails in folders of ordinary files, but when I drag-and-drop, the "modification date" gets changed. How I can still see the date?

    To archive my e-mail files until I decided to switch to Thunderbird, I create regular folders in windows and drag and drop emails to outlook express in the appropriate folders. The "update" column displays the original date of the email... which is what I want to do with Thunderbird. In my view, that he treats it as a new file created today... that is not good for my archiving system of these professional work files that I need to find often in approximate date.

    I understand the forum that it is by default in Thunderbird. There is an add-on that can do what I'm doing?

    Thank you in advance,
    Netwon

    I think the reason what OE is the original date because each message is stored in a single file, while TB stores all messages in a folder in a file, an mbox file. Thus, when you save a message as a single eml file, its 'modification date' corresponds to the eml file date was written in the mbox file.

    You can find the ImportExportTools add-on useful because it allows you to add the date of the e-mail eml file name when enamel is exported ("Save selected messages" of the message right-click menu).

  • When do drag and drop into Itunes, my original folder disappears

    Hello

    I recently moved to one old pc to another. My music library and the melodies are all ok and set.  When I used the old pc, I could drag a folder with music in there and drop it into ITunes.  ITunes and then implement these titles in the iTunes library.  Now when I'm on the new pc, the folder with the music she disappears from my pc as if he moved the contents of the iTunes folder and nothing left in the original spot I had music.  I'm all for backups and usually keep the same music in ITunes and a return to the top of file, but for some reason, if I drag and drop into iTunes, the original folder is no more.  How can I prevent iTunes to get rid of the original music file?

    Thank you

  • Can you please tell me how I arrange and move the images in a folder like in XP, when I drag and drop a picture, it comes down to its original position

    Organize and rearrange the images in a folder named as in XP. You could organize by date, size, etc. and do drag and drop all in a folder, it is not possible in Windows 7

    Hi Halohodge,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    You can't manually rearrange files/images by dragging them in the folder in Windows 7. This change is design in Windows 7.

  • Drag and drop Page Acrobat thumbnails (creating a PDF of hGlobal storage medium)

    Hello

    I created an external windows on Acrobat who gets gout of the thumbnail of the page from the path of the page.

    Looking in the Format with the help of Windows OLE drag and drop, I could see the type of data sent via Acrobat

    Am able to get the name of the file of the FileGroupDescriptorW and I think that the actual data must reside in FileContents.

    My question is how to create a new PDF of the Filecontent.

    Yesterday is part of my code

    /**************************************

       * if we have a filename
       * *********************************/
       if(filename != ""){
       //window->simpleMessage("Filename: " + filename);
       // construct a FORMATETC object for Acrobat pages
       fmtetc.cfFormat = RegisterClipboardFormat(CFSTR_FILECONTENTS);
       fmtetc.ptd = NULL;
       fmtetc.dwAspect = DVASPECT_CONTENT;
       fmtetc.lindex = -1;
       fmtetc.tymed = TYMED_HGLOBAL ;
       //get the file content
       if (pDataObject->GetData(&fmtetc, &stgmed)){
       //debug Info
       window->simpleMessage("Filename: " + filename);
       // we asked for the data as a HGLOBAL, so access it appropriately
       PVOID data = GlobalLock(stgmed.hGlobal);
       /***
       * Create new PDF
       ***********************/
       GlobalUnlock(stgmed.hGlobal);
       // release the data using the COM API
       ReleaseStgMedium(&stgmed);
       }

    Well studied, but it is an undocumented interface, intended to drag it from Windows Explorer. If you can emulate a Windows Explorer drop target correctly, this can work for you, but Adobe will not help, I'm some [even if I don't speak for them].   I think we can assume that, because Windows is not a processor PDF, Acrobat extract pages and generates a full PDF file when you receive reminders right from Windows Explorer. If it's just file content, maybe its as simple as writing the data to a file.

    Please let us know what you like, you're not the first to want to do this, but you may have gotten the furthest!

  • Alt + drag and drop multiple files

    Hello.

    I have several files QT in After effects, I want to easily exchange with the OpenEXR files.

    Is it possible to do this with several files already imported into Adobe AE?

    It seems the ALT + dragdrop only works for one file at a time for me. Is it just a sollution file?

    I'm on Adobe after effects CC (last version by date). Running Windows 7.

    Thank you.

    Anton

    Yes, ALt + move only works with a single selection. Whatever it is would require more script. for future reference, you can also set the QT files as substitutes and point the originals on the EXR sequences. You may just create some dummy EXRs when put you it in place, so AE does not give you errors.

  • Firefox 7.0.1 installed yesterday. McAfee Security is active and up to date, but your check plugins does not recognize the components. No explanation on how to fix this problem. What should do?

    In tools | Addons | Extensions, McAfee Scriptscan to Firefox 14.4.1 and McAfee Site Advisor 3.4.0 are apparently active, like the button disable is present.

    In tools | Addons | Plugins, McAfee SecurityCenter 11.0.575.0, McAfee SiteAdvisor 3.4.0.135 and McAfee Virtual Technician 6.0.1501.0 even are apparently activated, because the button disable is present.

    But when I click on "Check to see if your plugins are up to date", these last three McAfee components are 'plug-ins unknown '. The search button gives just links without end that I don't know what to do.

    Silverlight 4.0.60831.0 (that I don't use, not even sure that it is / is), Adobe Acrobat 10.1.1.33, Shockwave for Director 11.6.1.629 (don't know what it is, either), Shockwave Flash 11.0.1.152 and QuickTime plugin 7.7.1.0 are all reported that up to date. I can't believe anything else is NOT up-to-date, as everything seems to be updated automatically. I know that RealPlayer or RealSomething just updated during all these misfortunes of installation.

    Why Firefox doesn't recognize some components of McAfee in a single window and not in another? Why not recognize it all? My McAfee security (paid for and satisfying) is somehow disabled by Firefox? I am at risk when you use your browser?

    The plugin check page acknowledges that some common plugins play the media on web pages and not of plugins added by as McAfee security software. So no need to worry about this. Just make sure you keep all your software up to date, especially software that deals with the access software and internet security (antivirus, firewall).

    I've tested my new SSD with old Acer laptop, works perfectly, in my new HP x 360 is not recognized!

    Antonio

    First of all it is a user to User Forum. We do not work for HP and HP are not responsible for what is said or not said. Now a version of English language of your maintenance manual is not accessible. Closest I can find is the one that covers models up to 099 and is probably correct:

    Manual

    The x 360 is not really meant to be open and updated by end users and when the laptop was sold to you no one said or implied that change hard drive for one SSD has been supported or allowed while keeping the warranty. You a Crucial SSD of MX200 with no information saying it was compatible and decided to install it.

    Access the hard drive appears on page 29. Yes, any computer that uses a SATA hard disk can use a 2.5 inch SSD SATA. Function properly, but if there is a model that has given the most compatibility problems is the MX Crucial series. Do not know why. Chances are that a different SSD will work very well. My favorite is the Samsung 850 Evo. OCZ made a good whole as PNY and SanDisk.

    This is how I think that the best information that you're going to get. Let us know if you have more specific questions.

  • When windows asks me to isnert a password recovery disk, it does not offer the possibility to create one in the D drive, where I have a DVD. Why?

    I have a new Dell XPS with Windows 7 Home computer. I want to create a password recovery disk. I have (1) check my CD/DVD drive works (2), I watched the video on how to create a password reset disk (3) I did the procedure successfully in the past on other computers (4) I rebooted the computer after having difficulty finding the opportunity to insert a disk in drive D, the name of the drive for my DVD / CD player. What is the problem?

    The problem is that when I am asked to insert a disc in the player I'd give myself a choice is not drive D, the name of the drive to my CD/DVD drive.
    So over and over again once I wonder to insert the disc. I also have one of these drives you can put 4 holders memory size different from the type used in cameras and I have a DVD player, it is called D drive.  Why I'm not given the option to use drive D when I'm given a choice I can insert a disc so that the password recovery disk can be created?

    Change the assignment of drive letter for the dvd player to one letter other than.

    1. sign the computer as an administrator.

    2. Insert a disk in the removable drive.

    3. type computer management in the start search box and press ENTER.

    4. click on disk management.

    5 right-click the partition, logical drive or volume that you want to change and then clickchange drive letter and paths.
