Why the empty folder reappears on the desktop in XP when I use the Save as command

I'm under XP_SP3 with Firefox 8.0.1. I had an empty folder on my desktop called "D E M O" I used to use for downloads. I moved to another HD on my system and removed from the desktop computer.
Now, any moment I DL EVERYTHING type of file with Firefox, the folder reappears on the desktop as soon as I hit him file, save as. I tested this out with IE6. IE6 does not re-create the folder.

This might be a stupid answer, but did you really tell firefox to download to a different location?

Personally I always Firefox ask me where to download files.

  • Remote Desktop, response delayed when typing using the SHIFT key

    I have a laptop running Vista professional that I used to connect (DSL) to a desktop computer using remote desktop (XP) work.  Several months ago, I started noticing a response delayed when typing using the SHIFT key. For example my name, Garth, might get typed Garth, the text could (for example) get typed as 9 example0 and so on. The delay of the effects as well the pressed ALT key and assigns these keys on both sides of the keyboard.
    I did not used to have this problem and wonder if an automatic update to my laptop (vista) could have caused this problem. This problem does not exist when I connect the laptop using office away from my local Starbucks. My other laptop (older) doesn't have this problem at home or on the go.

    Well Garth, it seems that the problem may be with your home network if you have 'no' to this question when connecting to a local Starbucks.

    While you're at home with this laptop and connected to your DSL, it is a problem if you are 'not' connected to the desktop computer?  Or is it a problem regardless of whether you are connected or not connected to the work computer?

  • Why the 'object lock' command now lock layers instead?

    I'm on a mac using Illustrator CC 2015 (19.2.0). Since the last update, the command of locking an object (if there is a single object on a layer) now just locks that layer, rather than the object. I don't want to lock the entire layer, just the object.

    Similarly, "release all" now just unlock ALL layers, instead of just the items locked on a selected layer. In this case if I am using the command quick-key, or by selecting the command from the menu.

    It is annoying because I just want to unlock an item 'locked' on a layer, not unlock all layers in my document. Whenever I want to unlock something, I have to go back and re - lock all other layers and complex diagrams that can be dozens of layers with nested layers!  Is this a bug or a 'new '?

    Note: This does not apply to documents more alumni who have been created/saved before the last update, but applies to every new document that I create, even after the sacking of my preferences.

    Skullcat sorry, even with sublayers in CS6 remind us to never be able to selectively release all.

  • Why Windows Defender Version: 1.1.1593.0 updated not when you use 'find updates link.

    Windows Defender will not update the definitions by using the "Check for update" link in the drop-down list next to the (?).  However, if the following URL is used it will update the definitions!  http://go.Microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=70631

    Please notify.

    Ricky Joe

    You cannot uninstall Defender - it is a part of the operating system.

    To install MSE should properly to completely shut down Defender, because it contains an improved version of it. It is therefore likely that something has blocked the operation of MSE, or at least of its Setup program.

    My best guess is that you need to uninstall MSE and then run the removal tools for ANY other antivirus you have EVER had installed on this computer, and then reinstall MSE again. Norton and McAfee are particularly bad for this kind of problem. I also suggest uninstalling MBAM while MSE is being installed - just in case there is a conflict.

  • Why I am getting a space double or triple automatically when I use an apostrophe?

    This situation began earlier when I was typing a word document and necessary for the use of the apostrophe for "possessiveness".  Example: That Honda is Mary's.

    (Earlier it does not moved.)  In fact, I had to add spaces between the apostrophe and the s.  But when I return to my document, it continues to happen.  I can't go back just to the apostrophe.  If I hit the BACKSPACE to get rid of the extra space, it goes all the way back to the last letter and deletes my apostrophe.  (In the example above, a back between the s and the apostrophe would take me all the way back to the letter o in the name of Mary.  I hit a combination of shortcuts or put something I didn't?

    Thanks in advance for any answers.  I will continue to look for another site as well.

    (Note: the several times I've used an apostrophe in this investigation, the problem does not occur.)

  • DSC-WX150 will stop recording at 03:00 minutes when you use the HDMI video output

    Hello

    I have a Sony Cybershot DSC-WX150 camera.

    When using an output HDMI cable to view the camera to a television screen, the video movie recording function to 3:00minutes exactly every time automatically stops.

    When there is no HDMI cable plugged into the camera, it records fine 20 minutes.

    I tried changing film formats, changing the power settings, camera reset the values by default, etc., but with no difference.

    Why it only record at 03:00 minute exactly mark when you use the HDMI video output? Someone knows how to fix this?

    Thank you

    Hi tight,

    Welcome to the community of Sony!

    If I understand correctly, when you use your TV as a monitor while video recording automatically stops and does not cross the entire 29 minutes. Based on your manual, it is normal for the camera when it is connected to another device via the HDMI cable. This serves as protection for the camera.

    Hi Srimadhwa

    Thanks for the reply. Before I check for any response, I used ubuntu live cd to remove the offending unscrupulously folder.

    I really don't think it's anything to do with my windows account (although I didn't try the solution you suggested).

    During the copy process that something has been broken that created this file with the path, but no other property, I think that this "confused" windows and it wouldn't recognize that it exists.

  • Why do I get an empty folder named SightSpeed records not appearing in the folder My Documents/libraries?

    I get an empty folder named SightSpeed records not appearing in the My Documents/libraries folder in Windows 7. I have not all Dell products. I use Windows Messenger and Skype to make video calls (VOIP). Why this Dungeon appear even after I delete it?

    Hello ThomasSpero,

    It is the response that was returned by Logitech Forums:

    16/10/2012 09:00

    Hello spetho2001,

    The empty SightSpeed records record is a direct result of your Logitech Vid installation. The file is harmless and will remain empty unless the function to record video calls is implemented in Vid.

    enation815

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    It seems to be just a record created and will have nothing on the record unless you use the video recording option. You can test this information by recording a video call.

    I'll assume that the empty folder is not a problem.

    I hope this helps.

  • Why the Desktop Cleanup Wizard brand most used icons used as ever?

    No idea why my Desktop Cleanup Wizard marks my most that never used to use icons and offers to delete?

    I can do anything except turn off reminders of 60 days?

    Hello

    Usually, the Office Assistant filter does not remove the icons, they are moved to a folder and you can put them on the desktop if you want. The folder that is automatically created the first time, the wizard removes icons is
    C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Desktop\Unused desktop shortcuts.

    But back to your question:
    I put t know why the office cleaner chooses the most used icons on the desktop for cleaning but why don t you disable this feature?

    To stop the wizard to run automatically 60 days:

    1. right click on an empty spot on the desktop and then click Properties to open the display properties dialog box.
    2. click on the Desktop tab.
    3. click on the desktop to open the desktop items dialog box customize.
    4. Click to disable the wizard desktop cleanup run every box of 60 days.
    5. click OK twice to close the dialog boxes.
