• Windows Search returns "cannot access the file ' res:...» »

  Lately, whenever I use Windows Search, then click on a file that was returned in the results box, I get a weird error message that begins: Windows Search.  Cannot access file ' res:... "and so on.  Sometimes it opens then the file I want; other times, it opens a file that has nothing to do with my research.

  In my situation, on two computers, I checked with Windows XP, this seems to happen when I click on an Adobe. PDF file in Windows search results. The exact message is:

  Unable to access file ' res://ieframe.dll/navcancl.htm# [path to file]-.pdf [file] "."

  The Windows Search Preview pane does not display the contents of the file, but the file opens successfully in Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat. It comes with a simple click on the file, not a double click.

• Windows search fails to find the files in the Documents folder

  Original title: Windows 7 search finds no files, even though all the settings have been verified and the search index has been rebuilt

  I recently bought a new Dell laptop Studio 1558 with Windows 7 Home Premium and moved through several hundred documents from my old PC to the new folder 'My Documents'.

  As many others have found, Windows Search has been completely useless. She seems to have no problem finding files in the music folder or image, but anything in the document library is invisible to the it - even if I get in a subfolder small for a file name I see just in front of me, Windows Search will announce that "no element not corresponding to your search.

  I took a number of steps so far to fix the problem, which none have worked:

  1. I checked which locations are indexed for search and ensured that the document library is among them (as well as all of my C drive).

  2. I checked that appropriate file extensions (.doc .docx .pdf, etc.) are all selected from the "File Types" list in indexing options (although I noticed that 'Description of filter' for .pdf bed "Registered IFilert is not found" - not this problem with Word documents).

  3. I have deleted and rebuilt the search index.

  4. I ran the troubleshooting Windows 7 Search tool, which reports that it cannot find any problems.

  5. I have read that some problems with Windows 7 search can be solved by changing a registry key (http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-fix-windows-7-search-problems/) but when I navigate to the folder in my registry, only following three keys are here (not the one mentioned in the difficulty):

  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderTypes\ {0B2BAAEB-0042-4DCA-AA4D-3EE8648D03E5}
  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderTypes\ {36011842-DCCC-40FE-AA3D-6177EA401788}
  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderTypes\ {59BD6DD1-5CEC-4D7E-9AD2-ECC64154418D}

  A couple of things, I said - if I create a new word document and save it, Windows Search seems to immediately get back on it and is able to find. I also noticed that at first when I opened one of the word documents that have been transferred over the old PC and then closed it again, Windows Search picked up on it and could find it. So I went to try to open and close then all of my documents (an arduous task...), but the subject to halfway through Windows Search has ceased to be able to find them.

  All Word documents using Microsoft Word 2007 in .doc or .docx format, although the problem also applies to Excel, PDF and image files, so I don't think that the problem is with the word itself.

  I have tried everything I can think so far, including all the solutions, I could see suggested in previous discussions. I really need the search function working to effectively use my laptop so that any help would be welcome!

  Thank you, Jack

  Santosh thanks, I checked the permissions for the appropriate files and SYSTEM was present, which doesn't seem to be the problem. However, I found a solution that might work for other people are having the same problem.

  I noticed that if I changed the location of the files, Windows search suddenly seems to become aware that they existed and then indexed and followed them correctly - even if they were subsequently moved back to the original location. I just created a temporary folder outside my library of documents and then each subfolder in the folder my documents him and then come back, one by one. It was a bit laborious but the problem solved - I know not why it worked, but all the old files are now indexed and appear correctly when you use Windows Search, and it seems not to have any problems, follow-up of the newly created files.

  Cheers, Jack

• 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
  Clark

  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 Explorer crashes when looking for files, video or music

  When you search for files, music Explorer, or the video freezes, as well as all other open programs (after displaying what he found), it then displays an error message saying that it should close.

  Hello

  If the problem occurred recently and the BONES have worked correctly all this time around then you can try to restore the operating system to the start time.
  You can use the Windows XP tool called system restore.

• Windows Media Player does not detect files in the music folder

  Original title: why Windows Media Player NOT showing my music?

  So I recently got myself a new laptop, with Windows 7 Home Premium on it.

  I copied my music to my desktop PC (also Windows 7) folder to the new laptop.

  All the files are there in my user folder music, however, Windows Media Player absolutely refuse to recognize their existence and will NOT add them to your own library. If I navigate to the folder of the album, select a track or multiple tracks and use the context menu to perform them, which works without problem - WMP will play files.

  I checked that the right folder belongs to the library.

  The photos that I copied in the same way everywhere appear correctly in the 'Images' of WMP library.

  After searching on the internet for answers, I came across three very common solutions either on their own or a combination of seems to work for most people:

  (1) removing all THE folders in the music library, then add the. This has no effect.

  (2) will "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media Player" and delete the entire contents of this folder, or the folder itself. Note that if stop/start no matter which drive Windows Media services also had no effect.

  (3) using the command line tool "attrib" to remove the attribute 'system' of all the files in the folder music.

  Anyone got any ideas that are NOT ALL OF THE above MENTIONED the ELEMENTS, which may be able to help here? Otherwise, I'll move to a slightly less fussy Media Player...

  In fact, as a result, that gave me an idea.

  I went to:
  C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Libraries

  And delete the content of this (this will remove ALL your libraries!).

  Then, I used the option "restore default settings", which correctly restored by 4 default libraries. I then recreated both more personalized, I would like to have it.

  Having done this, WMP now seems add my music to his library as I type this...

• The program nero 6 wave editor mydell computer running windows xp will no longer accept the contribution of music to my record player.

  I already talked to a technician of nero first he pointed the finger at my tuntable I went outside and so it made no difference now, he said, it's something in the computer, it's a dell dimension E521 desktop using windows xp media edition. It has something to do with the way he treats the sound, it's a sound terrible buzz when I listen to on the monitor and when I read the record on the computer it plays at twice the speed, that it was recorded.

  Hi cabcaloway1940,

  · How the record player is connected to the computer?

  1. you can use windows built-in tape recorder to refine the hum noise if in only from the application.

  Link, please refer to: using Sound Recorder:http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/app_soundrecorder.mspx?mfr=true

  2. in addition, to check the recording speed. Check out the link that has the same steps below: Secrets of Windows XP CD burning:http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/learnmore/bott_03september16.mspx

  3. check that the electrical outlet you are using is properly grounded.

  4. you can also try a surge protector in order to see if the hum goes away.

• Windows Search find files but the mistakes of some of them, which are open normally when it is accessed to follow the path of the error opening

  My client uses Windows Search to help track the files in a fairly large groups. Indexing and everything seem to work very well, but when the user performs a search, it returns the information that are expected, but when you click on some of the files that it generates this error:

  "Cannot find 'file:///s:/XXXXX/XXXXXX.pdf'. "Make sure that Internet address or pat is correct.

  (where XXXX/XXXX are the path and name, of course. It varies and is not a specific place, or all in the same places is originally the same error)

  Varies depending on the issue and the only consistency I've found is than that error all tend to share the same name of 'Owner' and those who work divides different. Yet once again, the 'owners' vary. When browsing directly on the elements, following the exact path in error, the files open fine. In our case, 's:' is a mapped network share, but which seem to be the question either, as the other files in the search located on the same mapped share and in the same directory path work very well.

  To make it even more confusing, the search of all works perfectly on another computer. All users have the same access right, reading/writing/execution, in the cases in question. The file doesn't seem to be open and in-use by other users.

  The system in question is running Windows XP Professional SP3 and is connected to a domain active directory running Windows Server 2003. We have tried to do, and it did not help.

  Any ideas? Thanks in advance for anything that can help you!

• Windows 7 search can't find AppData files

  Windows search does not find the files. The search for a zip file (which is stored in C:\Users\ \AppData\Local\Tempor C:\Documents and Settings\\AppData\Local\Temp, does not appear.

  I can navigate the files without any problems.

  This is just a simple example, but no functioning research is frustrating our planned deployment of W7 as we debug a request number and other problems.

  Is there a way to search by index / the \AppData? This time, I almost 1 000 000 files on the disc (in the areas of 'normal' data) and indexing/search works to find.

  The folder \AppData & subfolders are not included in indexed locations.
  because of the thousands of files that can reside.

• When you use Windows Search error SearchFilterHost.exe - Application error

  When you are using Windows XP (SP3) running Windows Search (4.0), I get the error message:

  SearchFilterHost.exe - Application error

  The instruction at "0x0af609c" referenced memory at "0 x 00000014. The memory could not be "read".

  Click OK to terminate the program

  I do nothing especially when this happens and the disabling or uninstalling this feature is not an option that I and some of the programs that I use it. She repeats every few minutes, but I'm pretty sure it's because the application restarts whenever you "Finish". I also tried to reinstall it but to no avail. Thanks in advance for any help.

  These errors appear when the index database is corrupted, for example during the crash, etc. The solution is, except disabling or removing the search service, reconstruction of the index. Just reinstall will not solve the problem, because that does not remove the corrupted index.

  On XP Pro:

  (1) start 'services.msc' and find Windows Search stop.

  My personal advice: check user accounts all records and make sure that the "Application Data" and "Local Settings" directories have their attribute 'Index summary' unchecked, including all files and subfolders. You can avoid many possible future performance issues.

  2) go to c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft and delete the entire directory "Search" (or just rename / move elsewhere).

  (3) close the session log. Index will rebuild, it may take some time, depending on the amount of documents, music, etc. you have. So be patient with harddisk increased temporary activity. Normally it works with a low priority.

  On Vista/7 Search index is located in \ProgramData\Microsoft, otherwise,'s done it the same way. Unfortunately, I do not know how to avoid the real alteration. XP seems more inclined to him.

• How to use windows search to search the contents of a bunch of files with random names / extensions?

  How to use windows search to search the contents of a bunch of files with random names / extensions? Plain txt files say 1,000 with random name of file extensions?

  You can always search within those, but you need to add extensions to the file system so that it knows to look inside these files.  You said that you have a lot, so it's perhaps tedious.  Here's How to search within several types of files.

  One thing you could try is rather to make a copy of this file, rename all the files to the same extension (even an extension false for example something.bill) and perform your search on this band.  Just an idea.
