When I look for a file in Win Explorer, I get a list of files in the search results. But some of the files seem to be missing. I get a message that the directory is not found when I try to open the search results.

I wonder if what's on my hard drive and if what Win Explorer is on my hard drive are two different things.

If I do a search in Win Explorer to "purple", I get a number of results.
(To search for a file, I am in the word "Purple" in the search field in the upper right Win Explorer and pressing the "Enter" button).

There are a couple of JPG files that I wonder about the search results.
One example is called "purple_flowers.jpg".
When I double-click this file in the search results to open it, my paint program opens and gives me a message that the directory is not found. If I use MS Paint to try and open it by double-clicking on the file and selecting "open with...". MS Paint", I get a message that the directory is not valid.

The location of the directory on the error message is the blue 'Images' folder for my user. But, when I opened this file, I don't have a file with that name in this directory. The same thing happens with another JPG file, called "octopus.jpg" when I search the word 'Octopus '.

Is this something messed up between what I have on my hard drive and think what Win Explorer is on my hard drive?
How can I fix?
Something must be reset in Win Explorer?

I could have the JPG files with these names at the same time. I had a large library of images for a project, but I deleted it.
(I tried to turn on the option to show hidden files in this directory, but that did not help).

Imane:

I thank very you much for that answer.
But it seems to have stumbled on the solution:

Strangely, this worked:

(Maybe you know why).

I moved the files in my blue images folder in another folder, delete the folder images blue, emptied the Recycle Bin and rebooted my computer.
 
When my computer has finished its startup routines, my folder of photos blue was there! And he had the shortcut to the folder 'Sample Pictures' inside.
 
When I searched "the Octopus" and "purple", I no longer saw these JPG files in the search results.
 
I don't really know what happened, but I thought that after these results just in case someone else knows this.

I'll read and watch in your information. I don't want to know more about what is happening in my computer.

  • When I connect the printer, I get a message that my login is not valid. I can't go to the efax website

    Want to 110 e - all-in-one printer D411.  When I enter my efax number and PIN on the printer, I get a message that my login is not valid.  However, I can go to the efax website and using the same number and pin code, I can connect on the site.  How can I fix it?

    Try to connect without the '1' in front of the 10-digit number, if you are not already using the 1, place it in front of the fax number. If this does not work, try disabling ePrint, and then put it back slot under the web services menu. This menu is in setting up the icon on the front panel that looks like a key. Then after that tap on the icon of webservices (the one that looks like a piece of paper with a target behind him) and then re - print info/report Web services page and then try to connect again.
