    I scanned the two elements of a brother MFC - 240 c printer all-in-one to computer. where can I find documents

    Hello MichelleOZ,

    Items scanned by scanner are stored as Images (usually from the MPEG files) so I would look in the pictures folder. Otherwise if you remember what you call the files when you saved them you could also search for them via Windows Explorer.

    File photo:

    1. open Windows Explorer

    2. look in the folder list on the left side of the Windows Explorer window

    3. Locate the folder of photos

    Search:

    1. open Windows Explorer

    2. place your mouse cursor inside the Windows Explorer search box (upper right side of the Windows Explorer window), and then type the name of the file that you want to search

    3. Windows will now search for the file.

    4. once found, click on the file to open it.

    Where can you find DVD and CD discs with a capacity of more than 4.7 GB?

    Hello

    No CD is even close to this title, so it should be a DVD.

    Your drive should support disks you are using, so check with the system manufacturer (if the player comes with
    the system) or real player manufacturer.

    Understand the writable and rewritable DVD

    Where can I find the ORIGINAL of my Windows XP copy?
    Here are a few things on my laptop:
    • Dell Inspiron 8600 BIOS revision A14 (Note: I bought you BIOS Revision A02) I've updated.)
    • Original OS: Windows XP Profesional 1-2CPU

    Please, do not post your product key.  That said to check the owner's manual, as your computer probably includes a "recovery partition", which you access and use to restore XP provided the factory by pressing one of the keys to fuction (F key) keyboard when you first turn on the computer.

    Try the following to get started:

    (1) backup important data files. Be prepared to re - install your applications.

    (2) restart the computer, when the press of the dell logo displays the computer screen and hold down "ctrl" and press "F11".

  • Where can I find the product key for Windows 7?

    Hi - I recently bought a laptop from Dixons. Where can I find the product to start key to use microsoft 7? I can't find it anywhere.
    Help, please!

    Hello

    I think that 90% of Toshiba laptops, you can find on the market come with preinstalled operating system. When you start it for the first time do NOT activate pre-installed OS. At the bottom of the laptop, you can find Windows sticker with valid license key.

    Maybe you bought for laptop computer without an operating system preinstalled. In this case, you need to install own OS and use the own license key.

    The question is: which model of laptop you have exactly and has your laptop comes with preinstalled operating system?

    For the correct answer, please provide more relevant information.

  • I lost my documents and settings to windows 7 how folder to restore?

    I accidentally deleted my documents and settings folder in popular 7 How do I restore or take another?

    1. check that the Documents & settings is actually deleted, rather than simply hidden from view. Windows Explorer, Union, file & search options, view tab to view hidden folders and clear the Hide protected operating system files [a few lines below the item in the list of hidden folders].

    2 - made command prompt right click on the command prompt entry into all programs, accessories, and select run as administrator.

    3 - this procedure system restore returns the system files to the State they were at the time of the restore point was created.  But I have never seen a report of anyone removing the Documents & settings before folder so I don't know that the restoration would correct this particular problem.  This comment also applies to running sfc / scannow.

    4 new admin - account when I created a new Admin account, all existing programs were available, and it is the behavior, I expect in all cases.  You won't see any desktop shortcuts because they belong to each account, but programs should be in the Start button, all programs lists.  You can get access authorization in the administrator account to access your existing user account & copy from there, desktop shortcuts if you wish but you must a first full backup or your next routine backup of user account will consider each unique as user data file being modified.  After you change the permissions, you can then run [I think you need a command prompt to run as administrator again] attrib - a/s of your folder my documents [check syntax using attrib /?] to reset all the data user file archive bits & therefore prevent everything back up again.

    5 reinstaling the OS solve the missing documents & settings folder.  I've seen discussions in this forum about putting on another partition data files, but you will need to pick up this topic because I never paid much attention to it.  Before doing [and this is just speculation], try to run then by saving a file from your older pre-Win7 application to see if Win7 itself can recreate the Documents & Settings folder when an older application that calls a configuration file or a backup procedure.  If it works, it would save you a lot of aggravation.  Alternatively, since the Documents & Settings folder must be called on what using an old pre-Win7 application, if your older application may perform & record properly without it then don't bother doing a re-install at all.

    Good luck with everything cela - and once more just to avoid misunderstandings, I've never seen a report on the Documents & Settings folder has been deleted, so I can't give advice without the benefit of a direct experience.

  • access to documents and settings in windows 7

    I'm having a problem of password for download.  Download provider, HDTracks, advises as last resort to remove it is a temporary file in Documents and Settings.  My problem is with windows 7, I can't open this file with a message "access denied."  This is the first windows system, I used in which takes place this denial. No matter if this access will eliminate my problem, I want to know how I regain control of my system.  I am the administrator.

    "Documents and Settings" is not a file in the usual sense of the term - it is a junction point.

    Junction Points are just "pointers" - they are there only to allow software to use the new structure of file of Windows Vista/7.

    There are others.

    Here is a table of all the points of junction and the actual files they point out:

    C:\Documents and Settings - C:\Users\{user name} \Documents
    Application Data - C:\Users\{user name} \AppData\Roaming
    Cookies - name C:\Users\{user} \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies
    History - name C:\Users\{user} \AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\History
    Locale - name C:\Users\{user} \AppData\Local
    NetHood - C:\Users\{user name} \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Network shortcuts
    Print neighborhood - C:\Users\{user name} \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Printer shortcuts
    {Recent - name C:\Users\{user} \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent
    SendTo - name C:\Users\{user} \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo
    Start Menu - C:\Users\{user name} \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu
    Models - C:\Users\{user name} \AppData\Roaming
    Temporary Internet files - C:\Users\{user name} \AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files

    There is nothing that you can use in these files, even if you access them, so there is no point in even trying.

    Here is more information about junction points:
