Windows Explorer: Files & grayed out after Trojan Virus deleted folders

• A Windows Explorer copy operation check after copying?

  A Windows Explorer copy operation check after copying?  I know that this should be an easy question to answer and I should already know the answer, but I can't find any info that confirms or not copy files and folders with Windows Explorer checks the copy after copying.

  I want to copy the contents of my old memory stick in my new and I want to make sure that all files and folders have made the transfer before their deletion on the old stick.

  I guess I could use the command line COPY or XCOPY between devices with the /V to check the switch.  I don't see that ROBOCOPY has a switch to check.

  Suggestions?

  There is no real way to verify with certainty that copies has been made correctly and that the copied files are all accessible, guaranteed the same as original, uncorrupted and otherwise to work.  Here is information on the switch/v:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/126457/en-us.  The BACK FC command (from the command prompt) is a better way to comparehttp://www.easydos.com/fc.html (or even the model commandhttp://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/command_line/command_line_comp.htm which is not as good as the FC command but not yet a comparison, but is not yet perfect (and it makes the whole process much longer and requires much more effort).  It is very unlikely that all copied very well - but there is no real control procedures which will ENSURE everything worked properly and that all the files can be opened and worked with.  The only way to be absolutely sure is actually check each file individually (and again, the new stick could develop the corruption of its own and damage one or more of the files even after you have confirmed it - it doesn't happen often, but it happens).  It's the nature of computers and storage devices.  If you are concerned, and then also copy the old stick on your computer in a special folder (I do with mine, just in case and I also back up this folder so it is even more protected).  Copies of chances of two (or three) is damaged or having problems are even more remote, and you have a backup (or two) in case something happens on the key (as you drop down a sewer or it gets crushed by a car or is exposed to a strong magnetic field that he wipes clean you'll just lose it or any number of other possible problems).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Since the update Windows 10, my CS5 Photoshop created jpg are no longer visible in Windows Explorer (File Manager)

  Since the update Windows 10, my CS5 Photoshop created jpg are no longer visible in Windows Explorer (File Manager).  I have reset Photoshop like application default for jpg files, rebooted.  Nothing has changed.  The ideas people?

  Hi R_Kelly,

  Hidden folder/file settings was the first place, I checked and kept checking each new reboot.

  I have copied below my temporary solution I posted in another forum thread.

  See point 7.  I found a way to make it visible again.

  1. I can see all jpg files created before Win10 update AND all the jpgs created by other programs, other than Photoshops after Win 10 update.

  2 Photoshop cannot see the newly created Photoshop created jpg files in the file picker at all since Upgrade to Win 10.  I've never had a problem of invisibility of file before winning 10 update.  My hidden files were always checked to be visible.  However, Photoshop can open if listed files in a basic text file search in Windows Explorer in the path of the file "recently used".

  3. the files are not visible or clickable at all in Windows Explorer tree or the Photoshop file selector. They become open and visible when listed in a basic text file search in Windows Explorer in the path of the file "recently used".

  4 Microsoft Office applications can't see the new Photoshop created Jpg files in file, only pre Win 10 update pickers jpg created by other applications and versions.

  5. the problem occurs only with Photoshop jpg created after the Win 10 update.

  6. I checked the settings "Show hidden files, folders and files of the operating system", and they remain as they were, which allows all the hidden to visible objects.  I kept the visibility settings files in this way since the early 1990s.

  Temporary fix below *.

  7. I did yet another simple search of the text Windows Explorer, he finds invisible jpg files less all links 'recently used' who were there yesterday (2nd day after I created the files), I checked the location of file properties file and it entered the original file I saved their.  Using a right-click of the mouse on the file to bring up the menu actions and file properties, I was able to copy and then paste the file into another directory.  I jumped on the directories to see if it remains visible and he (Yes). The new copy is now visible to the pickers of file in Photoshop and Microsoft Office applications.

• Windows Explorer - file list grayed out

  The files listed in Windows Explorer icons are gray.  Some programs cannot find these files.
  For example, the thumbnail of a jpg file is grayed out.  If I open the file with Windows and FAX viewer, the image appears but if I opened with Microsoft Picture Manager image is not displayed and a message saying that no files are in the folder.  Other programs, Eudora, BasicX, also can not find the files.  Microsoft Word and PowerPoint have not problems.  I recently did a system restore to two days ago for override contained in an attachment to email USPS.com false Trojan horse.

  Any help is appreciated.

• Page Forward and Reverse buttons do not work and are "grayed out" after upgrading to, as it is the elements of main Menu like file-Edit-view etc...

  After the upgrade to Firefox 3.6.12 features appear to be intact. Then, after a few days he lost the ability "page forward" or "back" and are "grayed out". In addition, the elements of main menu like File, Edit, View, history, Favorites, tools, and assistance are also grayed out and non-functional.

  In addition, the "search engine" does not search, search the Web should be made since then in the URL window instead, for some reason any crazy. If the URL window is empty when I enter a search in the search window, the following text appears in the URL window, "bookmarks and search history", which makes no sense.

  In the past, I've noticed similar complaints in this Forum, but I have not seen any resolution posted these questions. Is there a solution?

  Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.
  
  See basic troubleshooting: a new profile

  There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins»

  If this new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

• Windows Explorer crashes on Asus after uninstalling the game files.

  A couple of days, I uninstalled the games that came with my Asus U36S laptop and after that my Windows Explorer began to crash and restart - and recovery system does not work for some reason any.

  At first I thought it was a coincidence, so I tried to understand what could be the problem. I checked the third-party applications, virus, malware, tried clean restarts, restart in safe mode and so on and so forth. But the problem persists.

  After all the discussions Forum I could find on the situation through, I finally noticed that someone else had the same problem and solved it in re - install game files (OT here, final note: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-system/windows-7-home-premium-corrupted-file-pintlgbimd/f39e62df-aaf0-4bfd-adbd-cd8e874a5297?page=2).

  Now, I'd love to do that too - but I have no idea how to do to get your hands on these game files. I don't have an installation CD (my laptop did not come with a CD-rom) and I don't even remember the names of the games that I uninstalled.

  Can someone help me with this? I would be eternally grateful!

  PS: I tried to call Asus about this, but they were less than helpful...

  A couple of things by looking at the Event Viewer logs.

  The ASUSWSShellExt64.dll was originally explore crash like this recently connected recurrent error:

  The failing application name: explorer.exe, version: 6.1.7601.17567, time stamp: 0x4d672ee4
  The failed module name: ASUSWSShellExt64.dll, version: 1.1.0.27, time stamp: 0x4c7f631

  In addition, Chrome is crashing because of the iDeviceEx.dll like this recently connected recurrent error:

  Name of the failing application: chrome.exe, version: 32.0.1700.107, time stamp: 0x52ed6c62
  Name of the failed module: iDeviceEx.dll_unloaded, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4cde567f

  The information that you have posted on the grip, the location of the iDeviceEx.dll is as follows:

  LoadedModule [148] =C:\Program Files (x 86) \iMacsoft\iPod to PC Transfer\iDeviceEx.dll

  Can you try to go to the \iMacsoft\iPod C:\Program Files (x 86) to PC file transfer and right-click the iDeviceEx.dll and the iDeviceEx.dll and rename it to iDeviceEx.old

  Log off and reconnect again, and then restart Chrome and see if the same problem of hanging occurs.

• Windows 7 Associations grayed out

  I use Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. When I try to change the file associations usingPrograms Defalt Panel element, and then the question ofset your default programs and selected by default for this program, I can see the file associations relavent for the given program, some of which are likely to be checked, but the vast majority of the associations for most programs is grayed out (if they are checked or not) and unchangable.

  For example, I use MegaZipper for Windows to manage compressed files, but it diverts the .zip and .cab files too, that I would leave it to the Windows Explorer. When I try and set the associations using the above method, I can see all the appropriate associations but none of them don't deselect. I can however use the associated file Type or Protocol with a specific program option to associate the .cab and .zip with Windows Explorer, after which these options become not greyed and changing within theset your default programs section, but I don't want to have to re - associate each file association on the system to be able to release to the top in the section set your default programs. Is it possible that I can easily do my editable associations using the control panel to set your default programs of the default programs Control Panel item?

  Thank you for taking the time to answer, it is useful. I think that what was confusing me was that files .zip and .cab were treated initially by Windows Explorer, once I had installed Megazipper it took control of these files and they are greyed out in respect of associations of Megazipper in the Control Panel, which means that I could not deselect the to hand their return to Windows Explorer. However, I managed to do so now by using the Type of associated file or Protocol with a specific program option.

• Mail of the El Capitan grayed out after Migration Wizard menus

  The arrival of my new MacBook Pro (OS 10.11.5) I used the Migration Assistant (MA) to import the data from my old MacBook (OS 10.6). MY did not have identical usernames on both devices, so a new user has been created for the migration.

  After migration, everything seems to work very well in most mail (and some obsolete applications).

  Problem: some menu of messaging options are grayed out on and/or non-functional. Strange thing is that Mail works fine in the other user account, so I guess that's a conflict somewhere, sometimes, preferences will not open. New emails correctly, they appear in notifications and can be opened individually, but I can't open the message viewer.

  Grey of menu items:

    

  What I tried without success:

  -delete all e-mail accounts and add them manually

  -remove mail preferences

  -Remove user library: containers, mail, mail preferences folder

  -disable the user fonts

  -Disable items in user login

  Any suggestions much appreciated troubleshooting.

  After you have uninstalled firefox, remove all traces of the registry and installed a disc, many scans for malware, spyware and anti-virus and scans even programs programs, registry cleaning, I found that there are no problems with my computer

  I then tried to install an older version of firefox (v20) hoping that would solve the problem, to my surprise, everything finally worked!
  so I've updated to v26 and nothing worked as above!
  Then I tried downgraded v25 and once again everything worked!

  Since I understand that the issue was NOT with my profile, extensions, plugins, settings or whatever it is my fault, there is a problem with firefox 26 and more!

  If someone has similar problems, I recommend that you install a previous version of firefox and see how it works, disable automatic updates if that helps the issue

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
  launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
  reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
  Operation of the network.

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

  Protected IE - mode

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.

  Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x

  Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
  Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
  Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
  Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
  disabled - click OK

  Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
  and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
  Finish those you don't use).
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security

  PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
  would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
  (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
  never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

  Looks like you are part of the many people that does not agree with the features that have been removed from Windows Explorer.

  Installation of the classic interface can help. See the links below.

  Unfortunately when Microsoft Windows Explorer, they made some pretty horrible decisions - which many people complained. There are a lot of other managers of files available, as well free and for a price. One of them might be easier to use and the characteristics you want, here is a list of the most that are available:

  (2) fix the Bug of scrolling in the left pane: If you view a folder and expand in the left pane to display its subfolders, the folder is annoyingly prefer to the bottom of the component causing the subfolders do not appear, making it difficult to work with. Double click on a folder in the left pane can also cause this problem.  Vote to fix it..

  (3) when several files are selected they should stay selected when changing the sort order (ex: name of size). Maintenance of the files selected in the sort should be a requirement, and this feature should not have been removed.

  (4) the option to remember the view settings of each folder (Recalling the positions and sizes of the individual folder window).

  (5) the option to remove 'Complete the selection of lines' to see in detail. "Selection of whole lines" is very annoying when the file is complete and has no empty space to click on. Also, when dragging / delete the file to another folder - if you release the on the line of a subfolder or file de.exe/.zip/.rar 'selection of whole lines' causes the file to be moved in the subfolder ou.exe/.zip/.rar instead file the file provided.

  (6) a search engine with all the advanced search options. No required syntax.

  (7) the option to always display free disk size space and record on the State and/or the details pane toolbar. Also always automatically show the size of the selected files (when several files are selected it will not show the total size).

  (8) the option to show the pane that is your mouse with wheel mouse, even if this pane is not selected.

  Using the classic interface to restore functionality of Windows Explorer

  After you have installed the free Classic Shell , you can customize Windows Explorer more closely to how you want it, the quote below is just a way to do it. Click here to see some of the options that you can customize, and here is the FAQ page for the classic interface.

  A solution that worked for the restoration of some features.

  (1) install the free Classic shell.  It's very customizable and works like a mod for Windows Explorer rather than a full blown replacement. You need to install the classic Start Menu option, but you can if you wish.
  (2) restart the computer.
  (3) launch Windows Explorer (Start - computer) and turn on "Always show Menus" (organize - Layout - check menu bar). It's just for the configuration, you can disable it again later if you wish.
  (4) make a right click on the menu bar and turn in the "Classic Explorer bar. This adds a series of icons for cut/copy/paste in Explorer. Basically, it also adds the "Configuration" icon
  5) go to the configuration and from there you can edit things to your heart's content. To kill the horrible record-jumping 7 Windows, place you Vista in 'Style Navigation pane. You can even hit back to XP mode if you want (this adds lines to the tree of folders and adds a classic icon "+" for the expansion of folders). The Windows Vista folder display style looks about the same as the view from Windows 7, but it gets rid of the horrible blow.
