Windows 7 folder with the files disappeared - not in the Recycle bin - where?

Hello

While in Windows and playing music with WMP, I wanted to rename the folder where the current files of music played. He says that the folder is busy with something. I closed WMP and tried to rename it, he still repeated the record is held by another application and cannot be renamed.

Now, at this time, I could not close the application and restart, so I used the hibernation and reset with linux. Once under linux, I rename the folder located in My Documents on a different drive than the Windows files and rebooted the computer with the previous Windows Hibernate file.

Once back in the window, I just can not find the folder, or all files. When searching for files, it says links are broken. I looked in the trash, and this case is here. I returned on linux, and here again I do not see the folder I renamed earlier. It was a few days ago.

Does anyone can tell where is this file? Should I assume that the folder has been deleted? Or hidden somewhere?

Thanks if you can help me to achieve something.

Hello

There are third-party applications available for recovering deleted files from the hard drive. Search for the recovery application using your favorite search engine.

Note: There is no guarantee that it will recover all or part of the files and it would be at your own risk and expense. Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  • Is there a way to restore a SINGLE FILE in a folder deleted from the Recycle Bin?

    Suppose that you remove all the contents of a folder that contains the files and subfolders. If you open the Recycle Bin, you can see a list of deleted files and subfolders, but there is no way to see the files in the subfolders. So, if you want to restore ONLY a single file in a subfolder of the deleted, it seems there is no way to do it. You can only restore the entire sub.folder, which is not necessarily what you want, especially if you filled out the application parent with other files and subfolders after the deletion.

    Is there a way to restore a SINGLE FILE in a folder deleted from the Recycle Bin?

    Another method would be to drag the folder to the Recycle Bin on your desktop. Open it and recover the files required - re - delete the folder.

    @ Palcouk... you can actually retrieve files deleted, even when they are home to recycle the locker to restore a previous version of the folder parent; These come available restore points so not always guaranteed, but he made the most of the time if action is taken quickly enough. :) Ric

  • Some accounts have the Recycle Bin instead of the trash icon. Cannot run 'Empty trash' on the record, only on an icon to the trash.

    I have four accounts open TB: mine, woman, club and spam. Only mine and spam account display the Recycle Bin icon. The other two accounts have a folder named "Trash". Deleted files go in the Trash files, is similarly in the trash icon files. However, there is a single action, I can perform on files from the Recycle Bin. When right clicking on folders, "empty trash" is not available as an option. The function is available only on folders with the Recycle Bin icon.
    Is there a way to get the appropriate folder to the trash with function 'empty trash' in all accounts?

    OK - I messed around with the settings more and came across a solution.
    1 right-click on the account name in the left pane, and then select settings.
    2. Select Server settings
    3. in the central block under deletion actions, select Advanced
    4. uncheck the "show only subscribed folders", and then click OK
    5. click OK in the parameters, and then collapse the account name in the left pane so not subfolders appear.
    6 expand the name of the account. This is - the trash is now a garbage can with the function of "empty trash".
    7. If desired, return to the advanced settings and re - select "show only subscribed folders" and click OK

    Don't ask me why this works. It's a total coincidence that I even found it.

  • Windows Explorer crashes when you open any folder with MPEG2 files.

    WinXP SP3 - When you open any folder with MPEG2 files, windows Explorer crashes. If the folder contains only the MPEG1 files, it opens without a problem. We first thought it was a problem of media player, but we can not even click on a file to open it in media player.

    Hi kathyd,.

    ·        You did changes to the computer before this problem started?

    Since we do not know what is causing this problem, I'd suggest unanimous the event viewer on your computer and check the details in the window logs messages/error codes important related to the question, during the time where this problem occurs and after return.

    Event logs can help you identify and diagnose the source of current system problems or help you predict potential system problems.

    You can try to start both computers in safe mode and check if it can open the folder where the MPEG 2 files are stored and if windows Explorer crashes. To boot to the desktop in safe mode keep tapping key F8 during restart. Once you see the option to start in safe mode select and press to enter.

    I hope this helps. Post back with the required information.

  • Is it possible to synchronize the copied file in the local folder with the original file in the network?

    Hello

    I copied a file from the shared network folder and it is really important document, so I need to use this file as a file off the local drive connection and backup as well just in case where the cause accidental, but I don't want to save it each time and don't want to use the original file in the network.

    Is it possible to automatically synchronize the copied file in the local folder with the original file in the network?

    Thank you

    Absolutely without interruption would require a program to write that monitors files on the file locks and triggers a sync as soon as he sees a change.  So, since we cannot just write a program, the best thing is either:

    (1) an icon on your desktop that you can click each time you want to synchronize "synchronize my files now.

    or

    (2) plan the "my sync files' to run automatically every x minutes.  It could be a batch script that checks to see if the file is more recent and copies only files that have changed.  Although perhaps a little aggressive, you could plan this thing check-and-copy-a batch file - again to run every 60 seconds.

    Batch files allow you to control the operations very directly, but Microsoft has also made a (not supported) tool called SyncToy who does all the same things, but has a graphical interface to select your options. It can be programmed to run automatically on a schedule.

  • Folder of documents completely empty after emptying the Recycle Bin. Running Windows Vista Edition Home Premium.

    I uploaded several photos from a third party site yesterday. In this process, I make several files which I then recycle once the download is complete. Because I'm uploading about 6 months worth of photos, I decided it would be best to empty the trash when I finished and did. Today, I went to access a Word document, and ALL my files are missing from the Documents folder - it is completely empty. When I try to look for one of the files that I know was in the file, I get a message that says "the point _ that this shortcut refers has been changed or moved, and this shortcut no longer works correctly. You really want to remove this shortcut? "In the research forums, I've seen where this can happen after a trojan/virus. I met said before virus on my laptop, so I know what it looks like at and.

  • Why can I not move file .dat to the recycling bin?

    When I try to delete a .dat file that he asks to delete permanently, however I don't want to do this. I want to just move it to the recycling bin in case I need it, I can restore from there. However whenever I delete the .dat (from Desktop on my C:\ folder) it not move not the .dat file instead he said: he can't move it and it can delete it only permanently. I have a SSD hard drive in a laptop.

    I already checked Recycle Bin properties (those configured correctly) and it is not on a flash drive, this drive has a recycling bin.

    I wonder what it could be?

    What is so special about a .dat file?

    Wrong question: nothing special about of a .dat file.

    Good question: what is so special about your Windows installation?

    I suspect malware, a virus, or a third-party application that has its own ideas on the .dat files. It certainly isn't a property of Windows. You can easily check this by running a test on any Windows 7 computer.
