• Why can't I drag a file from the desktop to the folder of bookmarks?

  I am trying to sort my bookmark folders in El Capitan, so I drag the folder on the bookmarks file (after the edition of bookmarks in Safari) on the desktop, open it on the desktop and the sort.  When I try to drag it to the folder of bookmarks in Safari, the file returns to the desktop.  I tried using the side bar and the window, using option, command, control, fn and SHIFT while dragging, and nothing works.  When I output folder, it returns to the desktop.  To work around, I create a new folder in bookmarks, rename it, and then copy the bookmarks to the new folder.  Looks like I used to be able to just drag the folder to the Favorites folder.

  All solutions?  I have something on or off prevents him record a fall in place?

  When you drag a folder of bookmarks in Safari Bookmarks.plist location on your desktop, folder and its content is converted to different formats that Safari has no way to convert in the original structure of Bookmarks.plist.

• Windows Explorer has stopped working error - I can't right click a folder on the desktop.

  This is my brother's computer, and they do not arrive in his account, only mine.  I have administrator rights, but it seems not to matter. This problem occurs only occasionally.  For example, I can right click on this text, copy it, then paste it.  However, if I go to the desktop and try right click on a folder to rename it, I get the error.  The error indicates that Windows Explorer has stopped working, when it says that it restarts, then the Office updates really quick. None of what I found in the forums have worked again this is why I started a new thread.  I think it might be a problem with the registry, then someone can please help me quickly find a solution?

  Note: I can not run as administrator command prompt because I can't right click, so I can't run sfc/scannow.

  We are volunteers here for the most part.

  It's a shame that we don't know anything about the distressed system but it was MS Answers owners have chosen to implement this community - do not ask basic system information when a new question is asked that make problems a lot time and frustrating.

  But now they way they choose to turn things around here.

  Maybe this will help you with your system of unspecified of brand and model with the release of unspecified Windows and Service Pack and unspecified install antivirus/antimalware:

  When the Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) is wrong (especially when right click), begin to suspect third-party add-ons explore extension.  You can also see some errors of NAT (DEP, Data Execution Prevention).  DEP errors are reported when XP will be threatened by a program and Windows stops threatening program.  Windows should never feel threatened by the Explorer Windows (or Internet Explorer) to less that some add-on is the cause.

  Those who would be the Explorer extensions that do not belong to Microsoft.  This means that extensions that you have added.  Solution Explorer extensions are generally well and installation of certain applications will install extensions from Explorer solutions for you, give you a choice and sometimes they can be added without your knowledge when you install the new software.

  Solution Explorer extensions are sometimes added as a new right-click option, you see on folders and files (like the scan of this file, open that file, play this song).

  If there is something in particular that you do during exploration that you know will be the cause of the problem, which will help focus on the problem and the help that you suddenly know, when you have found and corrected.

  If you can get there when you want it, make an adjustment and then there is no message the next time you don't do anything, you do, you have found and corrected.

  First of all you need a way to see what modules explore you have installed now and a way to turn them off (not uninstall them) so you can understand that we are at the origin of the problem.  You can have a lot of extensions not installed Microsoft don't even know you about.

  Download ShellExView here to see what Explorer extensions you have loaded:
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/shexview.html

  ShellExView does not install anything on your computer, simply of runs and displays.

  After you launch ShellExView (shexview.exe double click) and acknowledge the security warning, adjust the column widths, so you can see everything clearly.  Under Options, choose "Mark non-Microsoft Extensions" and extensions not Microsoft will be pink, clear, but on some systems, which is a difficult color to see, so click on display.
  Choose the columns and move up or move down in the column of Microsoft is narrower upwards (Mount) so you can see on your screen without having to scroll left and right.

  Click on the header of column called Microsoft (it can be the way out of the right side of the screen) to sort the display (by clicking on the column heading in Microsoft) so all non Microsoft extensions are at the top and easy to see.  They will say 'No' and be marked in pink because they are not extensions Microsoft, something like this:

  

  Non-Microsoft extensions would be things you have added (non-Microsoft) and are what you should be suspect.

  If you see extensions which do not have anything that is listed under Description, Version, product name, company or have special names that looks like they might be letters and numbers just randomly, you might want to look at these first.

  You can also Google the name of a suspect add-on and see if there is any success on the Explorer accidents or mistakes DEP and what other people have done about it.

  You can Google something like:

  Windows Explorer crash

  You must complete your suspect on behalf of adds on.

  See what kind of search results hits you get and are looking for solutions or situations that sound like yours.

  I'm not a defender of trial and error, but I can't think of another way to do...

  Right click and disable the non Microsoft extensions one at a time (or maybe in small groups of 3-5), keep a list, so you can enable them again later if you wish. The result of the change is immediate and no reboot is necessary.  Test your failure condition (right click).  If the Explorer starts to act normally, you'll know that some extension you just disabled in this group of 3-5 is the culprit, then you can start to enable them one by one until the Explorer fails again.

  If you recognize all the extensions that have been added or recently downloaded, start with these first.

  Disabling the extension does not uninstall the extension - it is just disabled.  You can always enable it later, so keep track of things by writing them down.

  Disable them one at a time or in small groups (to make things go faster) until your right click does not generate an error, then restart and test again to be sure.   You have disabled the last extension would be suspicious.

  You can also disable all non-Microsoft extensions, restart, test your fault condition and allow them one at a time until you find the one that generates the failure condition.

  If you have a large number of extensions, you can disable them is small groups, 3-5 at a time instead of 1 at a time until your system starts to behave.

  When it does not, you will know that the problem is one of the extensions of this small group and you can enable members of the Group at a time until the problem returns, then the problem is with the last extension that you enabled.

  The hope is that you will find extensions that is causing the problem and then you can figure out what on this subject - either uninstall it or see if you can get an update of the author of the extension of their web page.

  I have not your problem, but I can when you toggle extensions, the extension is immediately disabled, so disable an extension does not seem to require a restart, but if you think that you have found the problem, I reboot and repeat the test in any case to be sure the problem disappeared.

  If you post your non-Microsoft extensions list, maybe someone will recognize it as a potential problem.

  If you find the offending extension that's the problem, please let us know what it is that I can add to my list!

• Windows Vista Photo Gallery will not open .jpg on desktop but in a folder on the desktop - why?

  I use vista and if I put a .jpg on the desktop image I open it with any normal program 'open with', with the exception of the Windows Photo Gallery.

  If I create a folder on the desktop and then to move the image in the folder it opens very well as usual.  I logged as a different user on the same computer to test if this office was undergoing the same wierdness.  These are the works very well as it is supposed to.  Accordingly, I find that there are some bad configured "widget" on my main desktop of the user to open the image files automatically when they are on the desk.

  How to restore the default double click of the image so this Windows Photo Gallery it opens on the desktop?

  OK, I found the reason and the solution.  I want to thank myself to resolve this weird behavior of Vista

  the problem occurs because a URL (web link), you have on the desktop is too long.  something like a link to google maps for example or something else Street which is more then 64 characters is originally the Gallery windows to screw up.  Why these two files different, sitting on the desktop may be related, I don't know, but they are.

  find the link that is the author of the offence and delete or move elsewhere and out of your office and bingo!  your desktop image viewer works again.

  HOW TO FIX:
  I found the easy long url because there were only a few links on my desk so if you have a lot and you are not sure which one is, simply create a folder called 'junk url' and move all web links in this directory.  Now, you will see that your office is working again as it should so that you know that one of those that you moved is bad.  Now, to pull everyone out, one at a time on your desktop and keep stable your .jpg image to see if it considers the image.  One of these URLS will begin his shows do not and when you check the properties of this url, you will see that it is a super long address.  One who is bad - get rid of him and now your fixed.

• How to set up a folder on the desktop to import Photos

  Hello

  I have a Mac 10.6.5. and Lightroom 3.3.

  Someone would provide a step by step on how to import pictures from my DSLR in a folder on my desktop before importing them into Lightroom.

  I use a card reader to import photos.   I do not want Lightroom to open first, but to go directly to my desktop? I created a folder on the desktop, but my camera does not recognize the folder

  I don't have the editing application of my Nikon installed on my computer.

  Thank you

  Sue

  Are the import of Lightroom automatically using dialogue in compact or extended mode? In extended mode, you can see a thumbnail of each picture to display in the grid, or you can zoom in for more than 1:1 if you want to check the focus. It's really not different for the viewing and selection of the image in Bridge or similar, and it's very fast.

  Thank you you are new to Lightroom, but I think that makes it all the more important get your workflow sort at this stage. Lightroom has all the tools you need to import the images in a selective way, and this is by far the fastest way. That said, I highly recommend that you import all your images in Lightroom, your edit and then delete all unwanted images - you won't see always defects with a picture at first glance, and the moment you decide you would prefer another image, you may well have formatted the memory card.

• Why can't I create a table or a column whose name begins with a number?

  Why can't I create a table or a column whose name begins with a number?  I can't seem to find an answer when I Googled it.

  You can;  Simply enclose it quotation marks name whenever you use it.

  For example:

  CREATE TABLE '3-26.
  (
  'name 1' VARCHAR2 (10)
  );

  INSERT INTO '3-26' ('1 St Name') VALUES ('FUBAR');

  SELECT '1 name '.
  "3-26;

  Remember, what inside quotes is case-sensitive, so you can't refer to that column as "1st NAME.

  Using quotation marks (and capitalizing exactly as expected) is such a pain that most people don't bother.

• I can't see changes in a folder unless I go up a level and then re-enter folder, for example, create new folder, rename the folder, rotate the image etc. Can someone please?

  I do not see changes within a folder, except if I go up a level and then again enter the folder, for example, create new folder, rename the folder, rotate the image, etc..

  By pressing the "F5" key would probably be to refresh the folder.

• Firefox creates "desktop" folder on the desktop whenever I have download

  So I just installed Firefox on my new laptop, and whenever I download something, Firefox creates a "Desktop" folder on the desktop and download of the sticks in there. I used to be able to download directly on the desktop, but with this version, I can't. I tried tools > Options > save files to, but whenever I have click on the Browse button and select the location of my desired download (office under the "Favorites" section), Firefox ignores and sets the path as C:\Users\User1\Desktop\Desktop. Is it possible to fix this? It is extremely irritating.

  See if it works for you as it does for me.

  1. Create a new folder on the desktop labeled downloads (or any other name),
  2. Open tools > Options-> general
  3. Downloads, click on the Browse button and select the new downloads folder that you just created.

  Firefox wants a "folder name" for downloads, by specifying the 'bureau' only or won't 'Favorites '. When you try to force the issue, the name of the folder will mimic what the user is trying to specify. In your case, it created the folder "Desktop" on the desktop. Yes, it's different from previous versions of Firefox, but this change took place ago - many versions so it is not really 'new' any longer.
