• Windows 7 can not find my file?

  Windows 7 can not find my file?

  The folder is synchronized with Google drive

  I could add 'system' of permissions, but this causes permission errorsI is currently seeking 17000 files manually and it's a pain

  Any way to get Windows 7 to find 'xp style' folders on the fly without all these stories of cataloguing which causes has other "cannot find' bugs even when

  Actually found a solution so for all those who use the Googledrive folder on Windows - you can cut search indexing (uses of data which is not updated on the records of Gdrive) causing Win 7 search "on-the-fly" = a little more slow but even faster that I can read names of 17000 files

  Just open your main Gdrive/Windows folder and choose search & Union Options / folders:

  Always search file names... CHECK

  Index of use which... CHECK

  Ok

  

• Windows XP sp3 can not find a file that I know is there

  Windows XP sp3 can not find a file that I know is there. I even copied the file to the desktop, but research still cannot find the file. He may not get indexed. But on a search for *.mp3, it will include this file. I've searched all files and folders, file name or name part and content, but the search is empty.

  The reason why I asked is that this *.mp3 IS a 'partial file name.

  If the file is an MP3 file (music), I doubt if you could ever find by searching for "contained in the file," then relevant chess is why it was not found using the complete file name or part of the name.

  If the file is not hidden, the only other thing I can think is that there is some special characters in the name of the file that is not obvious when you look at it.

  For example, there was quite a "Drunk Philly' in 1974 called hit"when will be I see You Again"by the three degrees. Let's say you have decided to appoint an this (3) .mp3 mp3 file. It would be a legal folder name, but a search for 3º.mp3 won't find it. This is because the name of the file, I used the 'degree' (Unicode 00B 0) symbol and the search string uses the symbol "masculine ordinal' (Unicode 00BA). These symbols are almost identical to the nekkid eye (can not use the actual word here), but not to a computer search engine.

  Replace any part of the name of the file, except the extension using the * wildcard would make the search works, but if you have used the 'partial' name, includes all who is this character, which could cause the problem.

  To test, I suggest renaming the file. See if research there now. If so, rename, go back to what you think it was--but use the keyboard, not copy and paste to get the name of "origin". Search finds now?

• Search for Windows 7 is not find, I know that the files are there and when I go into the control panel and select indexing options, it doesn't seem to work

  Windows 7 search is not finding I know that the files are there and when I go to the control panel and select the indexing options, it doesn't seem to work. I guess that's a place where the problem of index - what can I do?

  Microsoft has NO solution.

• Windows search can not find my files

  Even if I indexed all folders on my computer Windows Search can not find something of my music, my pictures, and my videos folders. I checked if they are indexed and they are. I tried rebuilding the index, but it did not help. Does anyone know what may be the problem?

  Problem solved. One of my programs has changed the use of the search bar for "do not search" menu properties taskbar and start, I have no idea why.

  PROBLEM SOLVED

  I struggled with the same problem for a few hours. Finally, I discovered that:

  If you are looking for a word in a file name, then you must start the search string with an asterisk (wildcard character), in the opposite case, Windows will detect nothing. For example, if you are looking for "cyberdyne" in a file name, then you must look for the two "cyberdyne" and "* cyberdyne.

  If the word you are looking for is at the beginning of the name of the file, or if it is preceded by a dash or a dot, then Windows Explorer is the file without the asterisk.

• Windows Search can not find any file with 'two letters'-'two letters', followed by the numbers i.e. FS-XP1234

  It's a weird thing, these files are located on a network drive, but I also tested in a local folder with the same results.

  Examples of questions:
  Folder containing the following files
  FS - XP12345.pdf
  FS - XP54321.txt
  124234Sample12.PDF
  If I where to look for "FS - XP" I'd get both the FS - XP * files as results, but as soon as I add a number to search (only using the letters), for example FS - XP5 I get nothing.
  Any other combination works and files that begin with the letters or numbers I can get the name of the entire file and it works.
  Only when it has 'two letters'-'two letters' followed by a number do get no results when you search for the name of the entire file.
  I hope that makes sense.
  Thank you

  The problematic bit is actually the hyphen, although oddly, there is no block research in all situations.  The general Council is when the search text contains a symbol such as the hyphen, place the text between quotes and place ~ = before the quoted text.  So ~ = "fs - xp5" would work, but unfortunately this special syntax does not work in areas indexed without specifying the filename property.  To limit the search to the file names and also to allow the search successfully indexed areas, enter name: ~ = "fs - xp5.

  Some symbols have actually not need quotes, but some do so they are generally advised.

• Windows-7 did not find my antivirus Avast on the PC software

  I recently started getting the message of Action-Center "Windows 7 didn't find an AV on this system.
  I use Avast (free) for years - since Win2000...

  I use Win7 (build 7100) for almost a year, but it is only recently that my Win - 7 has started giving me this message.  Yes, yes - I know-time to upgrade. I have only a few months with 7100...   :-(

  An Avast forum suggested I delete the system32 folder/wbem/repository after the closure of some services.
  Unfortunately this must have been for XP, because there seems to be much too many services taking into this folder. I can't keep closing all!

  So, how can I get rid of that message, apart from upgrading to Avast Professional (which cannot always help)?
  Another easy answer is simply disable messages on protection against the virus, at least in my case. But what happens if a newbie has this problem?

  Sorry if this message seems redundant, but the other forum responses seem to be for XP or Vista,

  Thanx.

  Free avast works fine on Windows 7 but it can't on non - RTM builds more (I don't know this). I used it without a problem during the beta until the RTM version. Try to uninstall/reinstall Avast. If this does not resolve the problem, maybe you just install a different free antivirus until you make your own to the RTM installation. Also, you sound like a user, but for completeness, I should also mention that malware infection can cause this problem so make sure that the computer is clean:

  http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

  Regarding the process of change of name of the repository, it works on XP and Vista, but I've never tried it on Win7. Since Win7 is no longer the Security Center, he can no longer work. I do not know. However, here's the correct process if you want to try again:

  Start > Search > type: cmd
  When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator". At the elevated command prompt that will appear:

  net stop winmgmt [Enter] [answer Yes to the guests]
  CD C:\windows\system32\wbem [Enter]
  repository.old repository ren [Enter]
  net start winmgmt [Enter]

  Exit command prompt and restart the computer.

  I have a vague memory of this operation on a Vista machine and who need to do this in Safe Mode prompt orders, but I'm afraid, it was summer and I can't remember. I understand that you use Win7 but maybe the same action there were under Vista so I include the information for you.

• How can I search for all files that begin with "~" with a tilde

  With Windows XP, it's simple. I would like to do a search for "~ *.» ' * ' and I want to find all files that began with a tilde. That no longer works. My computer is full of unnecessary files that I want to delete and they are not getting cleaned by the utilities that I have. Thank you

  If you actually surround the search term ~ *. * with quotes "~ *.» ' * ' it should work here.

  125 KB is obviously not a ServicePack because this would be much MB in size, you have a number of KB (knowledge base) to go with the annoying update?

  Try running ChkDsk to check your drive for errors. Right click on your drive icon / properties / tools / error checking.  Try first by checking do not each box (that it will run in read-only mode) to see if it reports any problems file or hard drive.  If so, restart it by checking both boxes and restart to allow him to attempt to fix any problems found.

  As for the "Changes" problem that I have no real solution for this, only that you remove every bit of desktop of your machine and everything don't reinstall desktop applications you need.  It could be a corrupted registry which is behind this problem.
