• Need to access the 'Documents and Settings' folder in Windows 7

  I am importing an ArcMAP GIS project to my new Windows 7 computer (the project was launched on Windows XP).  Because the files in this project were initially located in the subdirectories of the "Documents and Settings" folder, map search these files in this folder.  So, I need to access this folder if I put the files in the location that arcmap is expected to make them, or that I inform manually map the new location, one at a time, hundreds and hundreds of files.  Is there a way I can access the "Documents and Settings" folder to add new subdirectories and files in it?  After some research, I found the folder, but I said that I don't have authority (even as an administrator) to access and modify the content of the folder.  Thank you

• I accidentally deleted the "Documents and Settings" folder

  I accidentally deleted the 'Documents and Settings' folder, what that means? What is the recovery?

  I accidentally deleted the 'Documents and Settings' folder, what that means?

  There is no real record, is a junction point.

  Install Link Shell Extension and select the C:\Users folder as source and create a junction Point and give him the Documents and Settings name.

• Why finder hide Documents and office files in the home directory of the user by activating iCloud drive? What about the behavior of Time Machine backup or third-party applications?

  I'm under MacOS Sierra. I am connected to my iCloud account. I activated the option Desktop and Documents, but I did NOT activate the option optimize Mac storage, because I wanted to make sure that all my files would be available locally, just in case, I would need to work without an internet connection.

  -J' noticed there now a menu iCloud in my sidebar in the Finder, with links to Documents and desktop.

  -J' also noticed that Documents is no longer presented in my favorites in my side bar of the Finder.

  -This last suggests that files saved in 'Documents' are not saved more on my HD... but only in iCloud, which isn't what I want.

  -Then, sailing in the Finder Macintosh HD/users / 'My account' /, I noticed that my Documents and desktop folders are more visible, as if these files are not saved in my home folder most. Which raises the question: where are My Documents and files on my HD, so they are still?

  -Using a shell session in the terminal and again navigate to/Users / 'My account' /, I noticed that my Documents and desktop folders are still there. Which suggest that records and records of office reside actually still in my home folder under users, but Finder actually hide it and present them as being stored in iCloud only disc. It's very confusing.

  This raises several questions:

  -In the first place, why Apple hide Documents and office files in the directory? Why not view these folders in iCloud and directory?

  -Whence the iCloud folder or drive, reside actually on my hard drive?

  -What time Machine. Is it still back up my document files and folders?

  -What games third-party app mirroring backup of My Documents files and folders? They still work properly? (I use Livedrive backup and Sugarsync for files mirrored across several macs).

  -How can I understand that Apple is doing with my folders and files? Some users might be happy with the iCloud drive concept, without worrying about how it works, but I don't take chances, and I want to keep a good understanding about the functioning of my system.

  Could someone explain what is exactly happening?

  With office and selected Documents, access to these files are now in the iCloud Drive, not in your home folder.

  My guess would be that they do not appear in your file because it would be confusing for many people to make them in two places.

  If you want in the Favorites, open iCloud Drive and drag them in the sidebar here.

  All about iCloud drive has been saved on your Mac. With the exception of the office and the Documents, they are in ~/Library/Mobile Documents. However, if you choose optimized storage, older documents are removed from your Mac. I don't know what is "old".

  ~/Documents and ~/desktop have new metadata indicating probably Finder does not display them in a Finder window, only in iCloud drive. They are not hidden in one of the normal methods of unix.

  I have not tested Time Machine or any other backup program. The folder still exist in your directory home, and they still have all the files, I don't think that changes anything.

• If you print a document from an e-mail, why is the document different on another computer? The pagination is different, and my boss thought that I modified the document?

  If you print a document from an e-mail, why is the document different on another computer?  The pagination is different, and my boss thought that I modified the document?  I have not change the document - I just printed it e-mail, he says than the version printed on different is his version on his computer - and I have nothing but print it.

  Could answer you my question today?

  Thank you

  Hi MBS_PITT,

  The print can be different depending on the print settings and the settings of the computer on the other computer. If you want the same settings, then you should change the settings accordingly before you take the print out.

  For more information, you can consult the following article:

• Two questions. We wish to remove the Vista and download XP Pro and would not let me explore the "Document and Settings" in the C"" drive.

  Mr President

  Buy a laptop the year last Dell with VISTA. It won't let me partition (including shrinkage etc.). No matter where you go that it denied access, including loading the program. Search function I'm trying to understand for a year yet, I can't find.

  I want to explore the "Document and Settings", but access is denied.

  Finally, I gave up on VISTA now that I bought a XP Pro... Tried to format the drive it did not show me the hard drive.

  Direct booting from cd said that it found no hard drive to load. I am just desperate and sick of this VISTA. Please help to get rid of this OS.

  I'll be eternally grateful to you if you can help me. The newest...

  Above is the reason why you can not access it!

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Come on first, site of the manufacturer of your computer, check to see if your model computer has XP drivers available for it...

  If the XP drivers are not available for your model, forget the idea.

  If Yes, download and save to a CD or Flash drive.

  Save all your data because it will be lost during the installation of XP.

  Then follow the steps below to do a clean install.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Once installed, reload ALL your other programs of original media, or download again.

  Reload all drivers and utilities for your motherboard.

  Nothing will stop a PDF to be edited or tampered with; a few things will make it harder. That's why we use digital signatures. They don't stop editing, they mean that any change will be recognized as after the signature, so it is an unauthorized change. The signatures are on the interception of fakes, do not stop them.

  I use the current trial of Acrobat DC version. I opened a PDF I created in Corel Draw by publication in PDF format. I tried to copy and paste text from it to a Word 2007 document. The copy option was available, but when I went to the document and chose paste, it was nothing. I then tried the same thing but sticking in a document of Corel. The same problem. It seems that the text has been copied, but I'm unable to paste it into another program. Is this real?

  Is it permanently available text? (Can highlight you)?

  This seems a strange way of working well - why not copied from the draw to Word?

  Hello

  Since Windows XP, in the last several versions of Windows, there are many changes for the names and locations of some Windows system folders .

  To ensure compatibility with older programs, these older cases have been replaced by The junction Points. A junction Point is designed to redirect programs more alumni who are hard coded to look for the former name of folder for the new file name and the location in Windows.

  An example is the C:\Documents and Settings folder. The new name and the location of this folder is C:\Users. In Windows 8, you will see a folder C:\Documents and Settings , but it should be noted that this record contains a shortcut arrow on the folder icon. He identifies it as a junction.

  Junction points all than its guarantee of value everyone = access denied.

  Note: Do not attempt to modify the security settings on a junction. This can cause programs to stop work and possibly corrupt the file system.

  Let us know if you have any other questions.
