Windows 7 Pro seddenly denies access to the local settings folder

I log on my Win7 PC as an administrator and sometimes see the subfolders and files in my Local Settings folder. There has never been a problem for several years. But a few days ago I tried to navigate to the outlook.pst file is stored, but clicking on the local settings folder generated the message "local settings is not accessible. Access denied. "

I haven't changed my user profile since I implemented this PC in 2011 and have not changed the password in quite some time. My only recent system change came after I received a warning from Windows Tuesday that trash has been altered. To resolve this problem, I followed the steps in a thread of Microsoft Answers by activating the display of hidden system folders and files, and then deleting the file $recycle.bin. Windows regenerated the trash and I disabled the display of hidden system files. The next day, I discovered my access problem.

What should I do to fix my access?

Thanks for letting us share this resolution.

    Hi RobynGP,
     
    This may occur if the print spooler requires other services, and these services are not running. To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
     
    1. in Services, right-click on print spooler and then click Properties.

    2. click the Dependencies tab. The first box list all system services that must work for the print spooler start. These are dependencies.

    3 make a note of each service, click OK, and restart each service on which the print spooler is dependent, if the service is not already started. If a service is not started, right-click, click Properties, and then make sure that the startup type is automatic.

  • How to find 'beginning-dreamweaver-first-site-Web' zip in the local site folder?

    Hallo...

    I download this file already. But somehow it does not appear on the "local site" folder when I want to save it as in the tutorial video suggests...

    What I have to do something else before you save it. ???

    BTW, how to decompress this file...?

    Thank you very much.

    To create the folder root of your local site, use the operating system of your computer to create an empty folder and name it what you want.

    Download a program such as Winzip (Windows) or Stuffit (for MAC) to extract (unzip) your zip file in the folder root of your site.

    Open DW and use your Site Manager to set your new site and enter the local path to the root of your site.

  • The local site folder does not open

    Had to wipe my hard drive and load my Time Machine backup files. Now when I try to open a Web site in DW 5.5 the site folder in the column of local files has no icon in the shape of triangle and does not open. Remote files show correct. Help, please.

    Solved my own mystery. Even if the Site manage poster shows the correct site root, it must be restored. The process was. Select your sitename in the DW files window, click on Manage Sites. SITENAME > Edit > Site, the Local Site folder > icon click on file, navigate to the root of the site > select > save > popup says Cache will now be re-created > fact. Ah, jumping through hoops...

  • How to remove unwanted files from the local root folder of the site?

    Hello

    I work with Dreamweaver CS4 on a Windows PC. I have finished my site but I have a lot of files in my local root folder that I don't want to upload to the server. These unwanted files are for most of the photos that I should not be used in my site. I do not understand how to download the site on the server using ftp and remote folder in Dreamweaver. I suppose that if I move the page html files to the remote folder that my photos will not be associated with these html files automatically. I used a Dreamweaver template during the construction of the site. I wish I had a folder with only the necessary files for the site (all html pages and a folder of images) to upload to the server. Is there an easy way to move all my pages and images associated with a folder or remove all unwanted files in the local root folder? As I see it now, I'll have to go through all my pages and write down each title of the photo and then go back and delete each unwanted file. This seems a lot of your time, so I thought that there must be an easier way, I hope.

    Any help or ideas will be of course very appreciated, thanks, dluthier

    I guess you mean 'work' files, not the images that you use in your Web site.

    If they are not related to all pages of your site, you are free to move by using your computer's file management tools. I can give you specific instructions, if you wish, but the short of it is that you do not keep them in the folder root of your site at all.

    In my way of working, I have a folder for each client that includes:

    • The correspondence of this client folder
    • Folder to 'Work'... the PNG images, etc., or of the images from the client
    • Record the site root

    When I get e-mail, I save the message in the appropriate folder of correspondence, I save the images etc in the folder of 'Work' to the customer and I only save images and other who have already been optimized in the Site folder, keep it as intact as possible.

    Even if the general warning must always use the files Panel to move files around, that applies to files which are linked and form part of the structure of your Site. Moving your files 'work' outside of the structure can be carried out safely in windows explore your PC.

    That said, if you need to download and there are files you want to download, or to move, you can 'hide' the in the files Panel by right-clicking on the file name and choosing 'Cloaking '.... "in the context menu that appears.

    To the point that the image files that are downloaded to the remote site will not 'automatically' be associated with your html files. That is right. Unless you have configured explicitly links or associations between files, images will not associate themselves!

    On the subject of 'automatic' way to do this, you can make a link to check on all of your local site. Window > results > Link Checker will bring up the appropriate window, which will give you the choice: broken links, external links and orphan files (this is the one you want). Use the green triangle tower at the left end of the Link Checker to set your auditor... Current Local Document or a set current site.

    If you want to make a checklist to ensure that you move them all, you can save the report by clicking on the small icon "Floppy" under the Green turn the triangle. Who will be on a file text and make up a dialog that you save the report, which will show the broken links, external links and orphaned files. After you move the files to your heart's content, rerun the link check and confirm that you moved the files you want to move. Make sure that you DON'T move files consciously... do not move the .htaccess files or .cgi files, etc.

    Who will save you from actually having to 'write' file names!
