  • Cannot create more new folders in Windows 7

    Well this problem starts just today after the installation and uninstallation of some free Antivirus software I try for the first time. Before that, I was about to install a new burning program and I decided to create a manual restore first, point in case something went wrong. After you install Microsoft Security Essentials, I'm not too sure if that caused the problem, but that's when I noticed that I couldn't create more new folders when I click the button new folder in Explorer or when I right click and select new, there was no new folder option. I have a feeling this could very likely be a registry problem, but I have almost no idea how to manually re-enable it in the registry. There were a few solutions lying around and showing some tips on changing the context Menu, but whenever I tried to change the registry, I get an error saying that the changes may not be saved. I even download the ShellEX utility but noted the option new folder that if she was clearly not or just was not working as it should. I'll try to use the system restore to reload the manual restore point I had created, which I was when I was pretty sure that everythng was working fine. I hope that that would solve my problem, because there is not more updates update critical for me to install just might solve the problem. I hope that someone who has an alternative solution to what I do can provide details in response to this. Your help would be very appreciated.

  • Why windows 7 adds the locks and new folders I create?

    Hi all,

    This is the situation that I am and I'm all out of ideas.  Whenever I create a new folder on my desktop a lock icon with the folder icon.  Then I go to the Security tab and under the entry for group names or the user domain is listed. SYSTEM, my own profile name and finally to account Unknown(S-1-5-5-0-xxxxx) with a red question mark icon.  I am able to delete the account unknown entry, but then when I create a new folder lock still appears along the unknown account entry in the Security tab.  Why we do this? And how could solve this problem?

    For the person who has this problem, I thought of her.  This has to do with the permissions that are allowed for your parent folder that the new folders are created in.  For example, if you experience this issue when you create new folders on your desktop, then you check the permissions in the desktop folder.

    In my case it was the desktop folder, so that I did this, I opened windows Explorer, went to the Security tab of the desktop folder and saw that none of my users or groups had no authorization for the office.  That's why when I created a new folder of the user account unknown would be in the region of groups or users from the Security tab.

    To remedy this, I did the following:

    • Go to the Security tab of the offices.
    • Clicked on edit and gave full control to SYSTEM, administrators, and my two users that I created.
    • Click apply then OK to close.

    The lock on the new folder I created earlier was gone.

    I'm not sure how my permission I messed up, but I think it had something to do with me after trying to move the desktop folder of the standard on the Office of the administrator user, and I was logged into the Admin account.  I tried to recreate it, but I was unable to.  Anyway now fixed it.

    1 is it possible without having to reinstall windows create new partion E:\ in order of the system backup images that him? If yes how to create new partition in win.8.1?

    (1) YES. Please see Computers HP - partitioning and naming (Windows 8) readers for the instructions titled "create a new partition.

    3. If for some reason I want to reinstall the operating system from the recovery set DVD (s) factory setting of what is going to happen with partion E:\

    (3) If you "reinstall OS" a set of recovery discs HP or an HP Recovery USB Flash drive, partition 'E:\. "is erased as support for HP recovery returns the computer to a factory State. I suggest that you store your "Backup of System Image" windows on an external hard drive for best results.

    4. What is-locations of D:\ marked as recovery?

    (4) the purpose of the "D:\". "HP recovery partition is to create your recovery HP personal media, return the computer to a factory State and restore the originally installed drivers and software.

  • Windows displays a Message 'Create a new, full backup'

    Original title: backup

    Hello! If I backup my files today and a week later I have backup once again, will not be the same files windows backup he saved last week? and my windows shows the 1 message: 'Create a new, full backup' why? * E-mail address is removed from the privacy *

    Hello

    Windows backs up only the files that are changed after a recent backup of windows process. This kind of backup is called incremental backup where only the changed files are saved.

    The full backup is a combination of incremental backup as well as the changes made to the computer after the incremental backup.

  • * Resolved * Windows backup. It creates no new backup periods. I have a single long period from 29/11/11 to 12/10/11.

    I made changes to the lineup. After you set up backups to run every day, I went into the Scheduler of tasks in the windows and found the windows backup task. I then modified to run 12 hours later to run a second time in a day.

    Is it because I moved in the planning of the backup by default a week at a time it does this.
    My real question is how can I delete older backups and keep the most recent. It gives me the option to delete all the.
    ****
    Update posted tonight 12/27/11
    Apparently, it was not a problem. The first backup period went from 11/12/11 to 12/25/11. A NEW BACKUP PERIOD JUST STARTED AUTOMATICALLY on 26/12/11. The total size of the first full backup period was 29.5 GB. not sure if it's a default size that must be reached before start a new backup set or if a certain percentage of my backup destination must be reached before creating another. In any case, after this experience, the file and folder backup set will begin a new period if the other gets to a certain size.

    Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it. In fact, I like the windows backup program. I work in Technical Support and to always direct people to Acronis, Ghost, which I've used Ghost before and like that also. During the action of Thanksgiving, I started to really dig into the windows 7 backup and Restore Center and there is more to that meeting the eye and it's free and ready to go in windows 7. I really recommend people now whereas before I used to steer customers people away from him. I used to think that you cannot retrieve the system image files as you could the ghost, but you can actually mount the backup of disk management by adding a virtual hard disk in the menu Actiion. pretty slick. I like the file and cause the backup folder part is kept the older versions as well as the most recent. I thought that the system images were not additional but felt they were. other that last compression on the backup images, the built-in Windows 7 backup solution is OK by me. I just wanted to learn more by posting here. try to learn as more not to complain. Thanks for all the answers.

  • Launch BTF in a new window via URL - always creates a new instance of the AOS?

    Hello

    JDeveloper/ADF 11.1.2.4

    I use the method documented by Frank Nimphius to open a workflow bounded in a new window. The difference in my case is rather than a range of remote data control, I want the new window to share the same instance of module app launch window.

    My BTF has Transaction < controller Transaction No. > the value and scope of data control is a shared value.

    When I run the first page (in the unlimited workflow), a new instance of AOS is created as expected.

    When I click on the button to launch the window with the stubborn workflow, another instance of AOS is created.

    The problem is that in the request module original I stored some status information in the user session data (and I coded the passivation/activate process to handle this). Unfortunately, the second instance of AOS has no access to these data. User session data is empty and no activation process is triggered to complete.

    I can use the Andrejus Baranovskis method to inject the session data in the new instance AM using a custom control of Data Factory, but it seems unnecessary to instantiate the second AM when the first could be reused.

    Is it possible I can configure the system to share the app between two windows module? If you start a BTF via a URL will be always instantiate a new App Module, regardless of the settings of transaction?

    Thank you very much

    Kevin

    Hello

    I connected an SR for this and the answer is that this is normal. A new window will always cause a new instance of AOS to create.
