__Windows XP 'My documents' duplicate records that just will not be deleted or moved. __

My documents are duplicated... one under my name and the other under a generic "user documents. I can't do anything on this subject. I tried to move them all to a folder, but they do not move. The two files remain with duplicate files.

I know this has been asked before, but the answer has only talked about Vista. I am running XP.

Thank you for responding to my post.

They are not really duplicated, Windows gives you just several ways to get the My Documents folder.
In the image below, you'll see My Documents listed in three different places, but they all point to a folder, which can found here (the one circled in blue):
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C655-S5305 application, running Windows 7.  I made a few cds of music there are chandeliers and that they will not play on this computer.  They do not play on my computer of husbands, good girls.  I think that they are MP3.  My cd drive is appearing and showing to work properly, but just read it as a blank CD.  To go with this... I am a legal transcriptionist and use a program called FTR player.  I downloaded some MP3 audio files and who won't play in my FTR player either, so I think it has something to do with. MP3 files, in the form of .wav files play in my FTR player very well.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance, Jodi

    Red flag.  CCcleaner.  If you used to "clean" your registry database, which can cause problems.  CCcleaner is also a good program, but registry cleaners do not help and remove what they think are "unused" entries in the registry that can cause problems later.

    Try to download the Real Player and see if that corrects your problem, but if it is not, you may need to restore your computer to the factory settings by your user guide's instructions.

    When you got your system back as you, I invite you to buy an external hard drive, and a good backup 3rd party program. You can configure it to automatically do everything in time and frequency of your choice. External hard drives 1 TB are about $85 these days and a very good FREE backup program corresponds to the Easeus todo backup free of charge that you can download from

    http://www.todo-backup.com/products/home/free-backup-software.htm . Who can make you save a lot of time and frustration, the next time something like this happens. Sooner or later, it happens to all computers for one reason or another.

    Good luck.

  • I have Firefox 8.0.1 and since the update to it, some sites, I need to go so that Firefox will not accept certificates which is accepted in the previous version. I can not get the permanent exception and must uncheck permanent and do every time.

    I have Firefox 8.0.1 and since the update to it, some sites, I need to go so that Firefox will not accept certificates which is accepted in the previous version. I can not get the permanent exception and must uncheck permanent

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

    • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: opens showing the file

    It is not usually necessary to create an exception for the certificates.

    Possible causes are that a server does not send the full (intermediate) certificate chain or self signed certificates.

  • I have 1 2010 Macbook and I could not install the new OS. I'm on 10.6.8. and get an error message saying that it will not install on this computer. Thank you

    I wonder if my Macbook must be sent to the trash since I can no longer get updates to the OS. I have 10.6.8. When I try it tells me that they will not be installed on this computer. It works fine but I do not receive security and other software updates any more. What can I do?

    The computer has a value for someone who does not have a new OS X and does not use

    the last iDevices; Thus the old app from iTunes and stuff would be a good deal, as it is.

    Without more information on the model number and build year, propose any later version

    OS X update (because there may be one or two; if nothing shows up on the Mac App Store)

    However, without more information, such as the about this Mac can show you the

    Details on my side that are not lacking.

    What is your MacBook (13-inch, mid 2010) computer model?

    This is the May 2010

    Abandoned by July 2011

    Model identifier MacBook7, 1

    that tells how to find the serial number and other specifications. Sites such as the

    http://EveryMac.com include most if not all Apple product specifications.

    If the computer that you have is a MacBook 13-inch Mid-2010, he could run the new OS X

    However, if the old hard drive is full, saved from the old stuff, you want to get an external

    Hard drive and create an archive of it; Perhaps a clone of the complete system. However if you

    use a time Machine, which can help in some cases. The original hard disk can be

    have worn out, so it might be a good idea to replace it with a new larger capacity

    hard drive. In addition, chips of memory could be improved to higher total capacity, too.

    Those things would give the MacBook OSX current or most recent advantage.

  • HP Photosmart 2610 says that it will not print, because the transport is stuck, but it is not

    my HP Photosmart 2610 all-in-one, said that he will not print because the transport is blocked. Well, he is not stuck. Yet, I can't print. I printed close to 20 000 cards because I bought and installed printer. What should I do? can you recommend a printer to buy. Looks like it's ready for the 'OS' yard HELP.  PAUL LACNY * address email is removed from the privacy *.

    Hello

    Perhaps he is worn and requires little (routine) maintenance (20,000 sheets is a lot of printing).

    As OEM HP is responsible for the good operation of the printer and their drivers. Check with
    HP support, their documentation online and drivers and ask in their forums.

    Good luck, you need to update or reinstall the latest driver.

    There are three models, so enter-> Photosmart 2610 - in the link of the HP driver and select the version
    you have - then select your version of Windows.

  • This update that kb2729450 will not be installed on my machine.

    This update that kb2729450 will not be installed on my machine. I am running Windows XP SP3. .NET framework 1.1 of .NET Framework 2.0 SP2 .NET Framework 3.0 SP2 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 are also responsible... Why the many versions?

    The yellow security shield appears in the status bar. I click on the shield and the Update window opens. I select the "quick installation" and the installation of the update begins. After a few minutes, the message 'Done '. Here's where she spreads all other "Updates" I ran this machine. In the "Done" window, there is only an option button "close"... No button "restart the computer". I click on the "Close" button, the window collapses and the yellow shield disappears... for about 5 minutes, when he reappears! I check the 'Add Remove Programs' in Control Panel, and I don't see that kb2729450 listed. I've "installed" 5 - 6 times, always with the same result. I was struck with this ransomware FBI 4-5 months ago and it was professionally removed. Since I was very nervous when this machine burps.  Also, since the Microsoft Community page, I ran Kaspersky anti-rootkit.  He has reported no problems with this machine

    Nope, different from the machine, although I think I solved it.  I "restored" to a point three weeks ago.  After that 'Restore' finished, I have rebooted and within minutes the yellow shield pops up... I installed every 5 or 6 that this KB.  After installation, he went through his screen to normal closing with the radio button 'restart now '.  After the reboot, I checked the area add / remove in the control panel and Voila.  They and KB2729450 are all here.  The machine seems to work very well and also faster than its ever been.

    Take a look at your video accessory. What are the last 3 numbers, such as avi, mpeg, mov etc. ?
    It is possible that your video accessory is in a format unsupported by Windows Media Player.
    Save it in a folder of your choice.
    Googe for a FREE video converter (if you do not have one) and convert the video file toWMV.
    Now you should be able to read in the drive media with images and sounds.

  • I want to replace the code between 2 comments on a lot of files that just may not know to do.

    There is code between 2 comments I want to replace. For example <!-#header-CODE > <!-#/ header->

    The problem is that there are some differences in the code in each file. Its a header I wanted to change a html Web site, I thought that the best way would be to use the feature replace
    But each file is slightly different in the code. If it's just does not. All of the code between these two points must be changed for the same block of code.
    I tried to use regular expressions, I can't understand.
    I tried you/w/w, but it won't work.

    Why is there not an easier option. As <!-#header-> * <!--> #/ header and replace everything between the help file should have at least give an example of the various possibilities.

    Try

    ((\s|.) *?)

    Make sure the "Use regular expression" checkbox is checked.

  • My windows live Movie Maker has an ER code 0 x 80004005, cannot display viedo of camer after down load, that its there just will not be open for the show.

    After down loading the camera viedo, it will not be open for show, but it's there, ER (0x80004005) it says Director windows live how I do to reboot?

    Have a look at the last 3 letters of the video you've imported to Windows Live Movie maker (WLMM).
    That the last 3 letters represent the format of the video file. If the format is NOT supported by WLMM, he won't play it.

    Here are the formats supported by WLMM:
    Video files: .asf, .avi, .dvr-ms, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, and .wmv

  • Thunderbird eliminated most of the records online and will not let me create new ones to replace them and read email stored in them.

    In order to remove online a large number of files in a folder (a folder IMAP?), I deleted the folder and then created a new folder with the same name. The next time I open Thunderbird, all my online except sent and trash folders disappeared, and I could not re - create files that have been deleted. I can't access the files stored in these folders or move files in folders bearing the names of deleted files. I can create files with names not used before. But I can't create a new folder of Junk to hold files that Thunderbird regularly sends to junk. I do not receive e-mail in the process. Local folders are not affected hereby. What can I do? I have Thunderbird 24.5.0. Thanks for any help.

    Go to file / subscription and see if you just without subscription to records.

    Check folders and make sure EVERYTHING is checked.

    Learn how to use several methods of selection and do not delete the records that you want to keep.

    control + a = select all

    Click heading 1, move upwards or downwards several items and maintain the SHIFT key while clicking the point 2 = selects items 1 and 2, and between the two

    Hold down the CTRL key while clicking random objects = selects any element clicked on

    Hold down the CTRL key while clicking on a selected item = deselect this item
