Windows 7, how to rescan files from residential group, Disk Encryption, Truecrypt

Hello

I use Windows 7 homegroup feature between two of my computers. I also use truecrypt because of security.

When I share a truecrypt file it works fine until I restart. Windows cannot find the file at startup because I didn't get the password again, so it will not share the folder (I guess). If I remove the file specified in homegroup in the GUI (in my case, I tried video/photos) and ad it again it works perfectly. (Library find the folder whitout any problems seconds after I entered the password)

Anybody know a way to delay the start of the homegroup, specific service or more, or a way to rescan the files again after some time, maybe a script powershell or something?

Now, I'm back in-stock... (So 2008: P)

Sigge.Sigvardsson,

The problem persists with Truecrypt uninstalled? If so, I would recommend contacting TrueCrypt for support: http://forums.truecrypt.org/
Thank you for using Microsoft Answers!

  • How to recover files from a missing disk

    Sometimes, my DVD player disappears from Windows Explorer and Device Manager.  I tried all the normal steps to stop the problem (remove UpperFilters and so forth), but it still happens from time to time.  When the disk is visible, it works fine.  The problem is that when I tried to move some images there in Windows Explorer to burn them on a CD, the drive has disappeared in the middle of the movement.  Now, the folders appear in the window of the E: drive (I have not closed the window or turned off power the computer since this happened), but I can't undo the move or copy them.

    I get the error "E:\ refers to a location that is unavailable.  It can be on a hard drive on this computer or on a network. etc... »

    I can do to get the files back, or that I lose the files forever?

    Work with your system and not the CD to do so.

    If you have Vista Business, Vista Ultimate or Vista Enterprise, you can be lucky.  They have so-called saves shadow copies, which are deleted or modified files that can be recovered in case changes/deletions made by mistake.  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-Vista/features/shadow-copy.aspx more information about how to use this feature to: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/howdoi/?p=145.

    If you have Vista Basic or Premium of Vista, shadow copies is not available; However, there is an alternative that is free and the shadow copies feature called Shadow Explorer. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/recover-files-with-shadow-copies-on-any-version-of-windows-vista/.  Although it will not help you this time, it could very well save you in case this happens again.

    In case this does not work (not all files are available through shadow - it occurs periodically), here are some additional free recovery programs that might help:

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/freeware/system/fwdatarecovery.html (first try Recuva)

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/DiskDigger.html (try this second - if this does not work then the chances of recovery are very slim but you can try the other options if you want to).

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/easusdfr.html

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/restoration.html

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/downloads/Recuva/dlrecuva.html

    http://www.SoftPerfect.com/products/FileRecovery/

    http://techpaul.WordPress.com/2008/06/23/how-to-recover-your-lost-files/

    The files are not really deleted until they are crushed (although they are no longer available through conventional methods).  If you decide to try these recovery programs, you should stop using your drive hard immediately in order not to replace the data that you are trying to recover.  He slave on another PC and launch the recovery of this PC.  Even now you have definitely lost some of them if you use the same PC.  If you can not do this (slave on another PC), you run the risk of overwriting the data with every action you do on the PC (but you may still be able to recover some or most or even all files - it's a matter of luck).

    Only you can decide if the data is important enough to take the PC to an expert data recovery to recover files (they will have better programs and hardware to do that none of us do, and I've provided above).  Do NOT go to the Geek Squad or one of these centers of store-, they generally don't know what they are doing - it take for expert data recovery.  It will cost you a little and they generally offer no guarantees.  The decision is yours.

    With regard to your CD player is going, you need to update the device drivers for it. Go to the Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  If you need to get the drivers (and do it for your CD-ROM drive), to leave the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the following device manager: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html

    If new drivers do not help, try swapping try it with one you know works and see if the problem moves.  The road from the other work of the computer is on your computer?  Drive your conputer there problems on the other computer?  If so, you have a hardware problem with the CD player and need to replace.

    You have computer anotherr to test the CD that you tried to do to see if it contains any files or data that are accessible?  Try some of the above recovery tools on the CD to see if you are able to recover files that have been moved (it might work).

    Good luck and I hope this helps!

    Hello sdf361,

    The recovery partition, that is what you would use to restore your computer when you bought it with the OS on it
    that was pre-installed. It is not your old programs and data on it. You will need to backup your data to restore and install
    your programs since the original installation discs.

    If you do not have the program disk, I suggest that the manufacturer of the computer.

  • Remove temporary files from the local disk c/documents and settings/user/localsettings/temp name

    Remove temporary files from the local disk c/documents and settings/user/localsettings/temp name

    By definition, this folder should contain only the elements you don't need.  If I understand correctly, this temporary folder is a place where temporary files are stored during program facilities and the facilities.  However, I have seen references other sites to help saying some programs can store folders and files.

    I do my own temporary file elsewhere, name it accordingly and move all the files in the temp folder to the new folder. Use your computer normally for a while, and if nothing complains about missing files, you have a good indication that none of the moved files are important and should be safe to delete.
