Why I can't name a folder in the directory root with a name beginning with A, B or C in Windows XP?

I find that I can create a folder called Barton in the C: directory, add files, but it disappears when I reboot.   A search finds nothing of what was in it.  I thouroughly checked for viruses, spyware, etc.  The file for 'hidden' attribute is not enabled.

The problem is the "Ask Toolbar", but you can continue to try things if you want.

Things just disappear after a reboot, right?

Do you think that I would like to ask a specific question and sharp if I did know about this?

When you did check, messing around and try things, you may want to fix.

    How can I configure my computer to the simple click with the mouse to double-click to open an item on the desktop instead

    Hi placebow,

    Open the Options folder by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, appearance and personalization, and then clicking Folder Options. On the general tab, click single-click to open an item. (To return to the standard click, click double-click to open an item.)

    The setting applies not only at the office, but also in other areas of the shell.

  • I'm considering buying a computer with Windows 7. Is there a driver for my Canon Multipass F50 printer? I have Office Professional for XP - can I load office software on the new computer with Windows 7?

    I'm considering buying a computer with Windows 7.  Is there a driver for my Canon Multipass F50 printer?  I have Office Professional for XP - can I load office software on the new computer with Windows 7?

    Page drivers Canon MultiPASS F50 & the downloads shows nothing for Windows 7 (or even for Vista), so I doubt that it works.

    Microsoft Office XP is not compatible with Windows 7.  Office 2003 and Office 2007 are.

  • How can I protect my folder on the external drive?

    I don't see a clear answer to this question online. I want to protect a folder on my external hard drive which has some personal data. I have to protect the whole disc, just a folder + subfolders. I see that the 3rd party software programs box password protect a folder, but when uninstall you them you may lose the ability to access again if you aren't careful, and they aren't full evidence for someone who is computer savvy and I really want to see this data.

    I watched a video on here EFS: EFS but it is a senseless video and provided no help to understand how it works. I created a folder to the test and does what it says. The name of the folder turned green so I know he did something, and it prompted me to create a key with password and save it, which I did. However, I can always freely open that folder and see the content, so anyone who has access to my computer is able to view that as easily as any other folder. Don't ask a key or password or anything like that. No sense for me...

    I need to a single folder (and subfolders) on my drive to be protected, encrypted, whether, for other people cannot access it even if they steal my external drive and connect it to another computer. I don't understand why it is so hard to find something that can do this and how to do it.

    If you enable encryption by file (or folder) with this option, which cannot be done because it is encrypted specifically with a hash of your account.  It also means that even if a system admin force - reset your password, the hash is invalidated and files that have been encrypted in this way will be unavailable.

  • How can I move a folder on the desktop docking station application?

    I have an application icon in the dock... when I try to move it to a folder on the desktop, a little 'remove' sign appears... He faints. what I am doing wrong?

    Thank you very much

    You cannot move an icon in the Dock on the desktop. Right click (Control-click) the icon in the Dock, select Options, select Show in Finder. A Finder window opens with the selected application. Now click (or Ctrl-click) on the right and select Create an Alias. This will create an alias/shortcut to the app-drag the icon of the alias of the Application on the desktop folder. You can now drag the icon on the Dock and 'remove' to let go of it.

    If the icon you want the desktop is not an application the same instructions apply. Simply find the origin and do an alias to the drag on the desktop.

    You say that you do not have the privileges to try a query yourself, or that you cannot create a table?

    If you cannot run a query, regardless of what query someone messages in response?

    If you can not create tables, then validate your data in a WITH clause.  For an example, see the Forum-FAQ:

    Re: 2. How can I ask a question in the forums?

    However, if you are supposed to be writing queries, then you should really be able to create and populate your own tables to test.

  • How can I specify the "My Documents" folder under the directory sync for "Creative Cloud Files?

    I know how to move the 'Creative Cloud Files' directory in preferences, but when I do that, it simply moves the 'Creative Cloud Files' directory in the 'My Documents' folder. I don't think that you can set a specific folder in a folder 'sync' in the preferences. Create a symbolic link to the contents of "My Documents" in the 'Creative Cloud Files' directory would work to activate the content of 'My Documents' to sync with the cloud? Breast of Windows 8 BTW, that's...

    CrisJM, no, that won't work. You must move the files in that particular folder of creative cloud itself. The only customizable option is that you can change the location of the CC folder (the one you already indicated above).

  • why I can't open programs without a box saying 'Open with' open chose the program

    I am an administrator on this computer, but opening programs on my desktop, I get a dialog box indicating "open with: choose a program to open this program with ' and there are recommended to choice and others to browse. But on my husband's office it can automatically open programs.

    I have no problem from my office on this computer, but other users have.

    What does it mean above?  It seems to be incompatible with your initial statement that "to open programs on my desktop, I get a dialog box indicating" open with: choose a program to open this program with... " »

    If you mean that when you double click shortcuts to applications (e.g., Word), you get the menu 'Open with' instead of opening the application, this means that the file association for exe files (applications) and probably also for lnk (shortcut) has been corrupted, probably by malware.

    To correct the file associations go to http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm read the documents at the top of the page, in particular the 'NOTE', then download and use the EXE File Association Fix and the difficulty of Association LNK (shortcut) file.

    Assuming that these steps fix your immediate problem, download, install, update and run full scans BOTH of the following free tools.  Do not run them both simultaneously.  The scans will take some time, so start an and then go for a non computer chore.  You can uninstall scanners when you're done, if you wish.

  • Why hp can't provide a driver for the d6160 that works correctly with windows 7?

    I've recently updated my computer using windows 7 and am having problems getting my printer to work. Ink levels is not available, when I try to print it tells me to replace the cyan cartridge, which I did but the message keeps appearing always and it will not print, even though I told it to print in black only. In fact I can't print at all.

    Looks like you are having a driver issue. For starters, HP provides all their drivers online. I'm going to inlcude that the link below with instructions for installation.

    First of all, if you use a USB cable, be sure to remove it (it's important). Do not plug it in again until the software instructs you. Through devices and printers, programs and features and issues Device Manager and make sure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. As indicated, and then restart the computer.

    In the menu START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here, I want you to press Ctrl + A, and press DELETE. Some files you cannot delete them, ignore these files and delete the majority that allows it to.

    find and install SOFTWARE to FEATURE FULL if it is available:

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&LC=en&DLC=en&product=1156653

  • Why I can't scale proportionally by using the slide bar?

    I know there are other ways to change the size of an image, I would use Edit > Transform > scale to scale proportionately. It doesn't seem to work for me, as you can see below in this video that I created with audio included. What I am doing wrong? I use Photoshop CC 2015.1 on a 8.1 Windows machine.

    Appreciate any help you can offer.

    Your title is confusing: "moving bar. Usually people refer only to a bar in the space bar and the shift key. Are you pressing the SPACEBAR or shift key? The space bar will give you the hand, while the SHIFT key will scale proportionally. If you use the SHIFT key, you may have to reset your preferences.
