Why some files and folders are highlighted in blue?

• Certain files and folders are not detected by Windows Explorer (XP).

  I created 15 files in a folder on a shared network drive, associated with another computer. My computer is running XP x 64 v. 2003 SP2, and the computer server (the one with the shared drive) has v.2002 XP Pro (32-bit) SP3.  When I open the folder in Windows Explorer I see only 12 folders. When I tried to rename one of the 12 visible files to match the name of one of the 3 missing files I get an error (file exists!). What is all too weird, when I select all and delete 12 deleted records and previously missing 3 appears.

  Has also had a similar problem with entire folders. The Explorer does not see the folder but when I create a shortcut by typing the path of the folder manually and click on the shortcut, the name of the file appears in Solution Explorer!

  All files and folders are visible when I connect on the 32-bit computer. There is no difference between the files/folders regarding the permissions or security settings are concerned. Other users have experienced the similar problem. I tested this on 2 other computers on the same network. On a 32-bit computer, everything works fine, but on another 64-bit computer, I get the same question of file disappears.  It seems to suggest some incompatibility between Windows XP 32-bit and 64-bit XP systems.  Any suggestions how to fix it? It's really frustruting...

  The files appear when you refresh the Explorer window by pressing F5 (or view-> Refresh)?

  If so, this article may help:

• Files and folders are much more difficult to manage than XP. Why?

  Well, this Windows 7 is a real bastard. All the good things that XP had disappeared and the bad bits left in. Why can I not move the autour files? There is no button move. I can copy the file, but it means that I have to remove it from the current location.

  With XP, I was able to bring the record down to the file and fill it from there. You may arrange the folders and files in any case I liked, not now if. It seems that all of this is intended to the strict alphabetical list only. In any case, I could change it?

  Drag the files into folders is a bit in the dark. Your just about file in a folder and then change page. Oops, wrong file! When I record a file a file scrolling will turbo, Zipper directly past the folder that you want to place the file in. It is difficult to scroll slowly, without the roller past stupid. It does not help with this PC laptop HP Compaq Presario, with its sensitive task of turbo on the touchpad. Very poor design.

  You can ignore the structure of theiir library. Yes!. It just requires time to learn the ways around what they have done. After 6 weeks, I'm there.

  This tip was very helpful because it can give you the equivalent of any shortcut Win + E to any folder on any drive, but.

  You always have a movement of file command in Windows 7, which is accessible by selecting Edition from the menu bar.

  You can add the move to folder command in the context menu of Windows Explorer.

• Is it possible to put passwords on some files and folders in Vista?

  I have a small business with 5 users network. I need to put a password on some folders and files, such as record of payroll and accounts. Is this possible to do? If so, how?

  see you soon
  Dean

  XP and Vista do not passwords to protect resources. NT operating systems use the permissions. Here's the information to help you with that:

  Vista identity management and access - TechNet - http://tinyurl.com/6fncvr control

  Passwording of folders is not possible unless you their zip. When you do (right click on a folder, then "send to > compressed folder") and then open the zip file, you will find an option under file > "add a password." Otherwise, use a third-party software. Google "password protect folders".

  You're much better off using permissions instead.

• When I download MP-3 CD on Amazon they do not appear in the library? The library settings are supposed to monitor the directory that files and folders are in changes or additions. Any ideas?

• problem with the Finder - files and folders displaying incorrectly

  After acquiring a new iMac, I noticed a problem with the Finder - files and folders are displayed wrong (see table).

  This is what happens always after the files have been transferred from one folder to another. I was reminded of my days of using Mac OS in the 1980s when automatic setting of files was not so "automatic." I use Mac OS for decades and I don't remember the last time I had to think about GUI problems like that.

  Other problems in the graphical display of files and folders were introduced, such as when you have hundreds of files in a single folder, you end up deleting about 30 to 40 of them say in a particular section, and you end up with gaps of the ChartSpace where files used to be, that is the remaining files automatically rearrange themselves (fill in these gaps) - never. A week later, you open the folder, and the gap of GUI is still there.

  I decided to do a clean install of the operating system but nothing works.

  Is there some setting in Prefs I'm missing?

  

  Hi there highland99,

  Looks like your folder icons are not accommodating themselves automatically you plan to do. To me, this indicates that you have organize by the None value in the view menu. You can change the way files and folders are prepared automatically by clicking on view > reorganize by and selecting how you would like that fixed.

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

• Files and folders with the same name

  I am trying to unzip some files and folders and it works fine on my computer with Windows XP. However, when you use Windows Vista I can't because there are folders and files with the same name. After an internet search, it seems that the only suggestion is to extract the files in separate folders which then would allow them to keep the same name. The problem is I want what they in the same folder and they need to have the names they have.

  NOTE: I do have two files with the same name in the same folder, I have a folder and a file with the same name. I would have thought that this would be acceptable because they are two things separate, and given that it's great under XP.

  All solutions?

  You are right, if I make a file and a text file with the same name, it works fine. However, when I try to extract the files I need it tells me that there is already a file with the same name as the folder. He goes to tell me to choose a new name but my only options are 'try again', 'jump' or 'Cancel '.

  I think I can understand what the problem is. For some reason when you download the zip file, the computer seems to have added a few files side with any format other than "file." It is those who have the same name as the folders as if they were, and they could not be uncompressed because of this. I have no idea whence they came as they appear from nowhere (compared to my XP). I'm trying now unzip the files separately and exclude the strange s 'file '.

  Thanks for your help though!

• All files and folders show hidden after virus corrupted hard drive XP

  I recently got a virus on my laptop which made all the files and folders hidden and says that my hard drive is damaged. I managed to get rid of the virus, but all my files are always hidden. I went to my computer and made sure all the hidden files are visible. This fixed the problem a bit. My main problem now is that all my files and folders are slightly transparent. It's a more of a nuisance than a real problem. I downloaded a program that would allow me to change each file in groups, but it would take an extremely long time to go by a record throughout my entire computer. I was wondering if there is any means possible to put all my files and folders hidden not Hidden to get rid of their transparency.

  Thanks for any help you can give.

• Files and folders invisible

  I have recently started using a computer with Windows XP 64 bit and have noticed that the records seem to "disappear" at will.  The folder and or file, I try to access is there, but neither Windows Explorer nor the program, I am trying to access find them since.  However, if I move on a 32-bit computer, the files and folders are clearly visible. I made sure that all hidder files or otherwise are set to be read.

  What can I do?

  Hi ndsmaug,

  1. have you tried to search for the folder?
  2. how many partitions you have?
  3. all partitions are visible in Windows XP 64-bit?

  Step 1: We recommend that you search for files and folders to see if the result of the research shows them.
  see How to search for files and folders in Windows XP .
  b. search for files and access.

  Step 2: Check if the problem persists in safe mode
  a. see the description of the options course in Windows XP Startup Mode
  Hit and b. Select safe mode enter.
  c. once the computer boots to the desktop successfully, check if files and folders are visible.

• My files and folders was hidden, but the capacity is still got it!

  Hello members! I had a very big problem.

  When my friend has borrowed my USB Flash drive to use and inserted, he saw my files and folders has been detected and changed everything in folders and shortcuts files. I was surprised and security he took.

  I returned home, I turned on my netbook and I inserted just now used, I cleaned only had viruses, worms and Trojan horses with the help of 360 Antivirus (Chinese version). After that, when I open my USB Flash drive, it is EMPTY! I was very sad and I saw he still have in the capacity bar! I think it was hidden all of my files and folders, but I activated the hidden files and folders to see and always empty! How do I do?

  

  

  Pls help me! I really want to solve this problem!

  I tried to unchecked "Hide protected operating system files (recommended)" and it works! I saw all this including my files and folders. Thanks riri! : D

  And I got a question too. If my files and folders are doubly hidden, how do I remove it to normal as disable 'Hidden' in the properties of files and folders? I have seen that the 'hidden' was unable to check/uncheck in the properties.

  Open a prompt (cmd.exe) window

  Assuming F:\ is the USB flash drive, use this command:

  ATTRIB S H R F:\*.*

  Press {ENTER}

  This will remove the SYSTEM, HIDDEN AND READONLY attribute affects all files in the root directory of the USB stick.
