XP Pro. Folder Prefetch files are missing

Original title: XP Pro. Folder Prefetch

Tune up utility informs me files are missing in the prefetch folder. Pc restore fix this?

Hi BALONEYMAN,

See What is the prefetch folder?  (Also valid for XP)

Restore the computer to an earlier time, this does not restore the deleted files.

Try to run the sfc (System File Checker) scan to find and fix missing or corrupt system files.
a. Click Start, click Run, type cmd and click ok.
b. at the command prompt, type sfc/scannow and press ENTER.
c. If you are prompted, enter the Windows XP CD in order to complete the scan.
Note: The version of the service pack on CD must match the version of the service pack installed on the computer.
d. restart the computer and check the difference.

See the Description of Windows XP sfc scan

    Try searching *.eml and make sure you include hidden files and folders in the search parameters.  See also here for the Organization of store message (www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm).  You should be able to use the browser to go to the directory of sent items under the directory of local records and the actual messages will be located there.  It may be useful to compact and repair the database (see www.oehelp.com/WMUTil/) and make sure that everything in the folder, you saw the value.

  • Why can't I export photos in my collections folder PScc even if there is no '?' showing the files are missing?

    I'm new to LR. I fell 165 photos in a collection, developed a bunch of them in LR and now wish to export some PS 2015cc but when I try to do a right click to open in PS it is grayed out in unauthorized function. There is no '?' to indicate that the files are missing. I find the original files on my hard drive and they are still there.  I have no problem to export to browser images or other files in the Collections. I noted that these 165 photos is not found in LR in navigation in their original as the disk file hard (do not know if this is normal once pictures is added to a collection). I tried to synchronize the file on the hard disk in the browser, but it shows no pictures to move. I don't remember how I put the first photos in this collection originally but now wonder if I've set up wrong in the first place, but I can't spend a some of them out of this collection file without this poop place "all selected files are missing. No file cannot be moved. I have watched many videos and read lots and lots of tutorials and nothing has solved this dilemma. I can't solve this problem on mine, any help would be appreciated!

    In the LR library, go to the files Panel and find the right folder with thumbnails. Then right-click (Ctrl-click) on the name of the folder and choose "Update folder location"

    Navigate to the folder on your hard drive or external hard drive, and then choose the folder where the pictures are stored.

    LR should automatically update the links to the catalog.

  • Files are missing from the catalog files

    I have upgreaded to 10 items and when you perform the conversion catalogue many of the records in the new catalogue are missing the files (photos). When I right-click on these files and try to add the files that I can see the missing files, try to transfer but at the end I get this: files or folders selected to import did not contain not all types of supported files or the files are already in this folder "- BUT - files are not in the folder in the catalog. They are in the folder on my computer that I am able to access it easily - they simply do not end up in the respective folders to the catalog. I use Windows XP Pro and all my folders and files are on an external drive and are set in memory when I download pictures from my camera. I don't have this number before - how can I get these files in the folder in the catalog?-j' tried establishing a new catalog and tried to convert it again with the same results - please advise-thanks in advance

    Convert selected your organizer to use 'Thumbnail View' and you should see your photos.  The "location" view folder does not show the photos if they are in the subfolders of the selected folder.

  • Outlook Express Inbox messages or files are missing.

    Yesterday morning, Monday, January 24 when I open my browser to surf on Outlook Express, I discovered that all my messages in Inbox and / pr files are missing. I was given the opportunity to click on in order to replace the most recent data in the box to pop up on the screen: compact down, it seems like. Thinking that assistance, I innocently click on 'Yes', this is the result: all incoming the previiousd and this letter is as gone with the wind (disappeared).

    Two reasons the most common for what you describe is disruption of the compacting process, (never touch anything until it's finished), or bloated folders. More about that below.

    Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it? :

    About file Corruption:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/IE/community/columns/filecorruption.mspx

    Recovery methods:

    If you use XP/SP2 or SP3, and are fully patched, then you should have a backup of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin (or possibly the message store), copied as bak files.

    To restore a folder bak on the message store folder, first find the location of the message store.

    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, the .dbx files are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.

    Close OE and in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx to the file missing or empty file, then drag it to the desktop. It can be deleted later once you have successfully restored the bak file. Minimize the message store.

    Open OE and, if the folder is missing, create a folder with the * exact * same name as the bak file you want to restore but without the .bak. For example: If the file is Saved.bak, the new folder should be named saved. Open the new folder, and then close OE. If the folder is there, but just empty, continue to the next step.

    First of all, check if there is a bak file already in the message. If there is, and you have removed the dbx file, go ahead and rename it in dbx.

    If it is not already in the message, open the trash and do a right-click on the file bak for the folder in question and click on restore. Open the message store up and replace the .bak by .dbx file extension. Close the message store and open OE. Messages must be in the folder.

    If messages are restored successfully, you can go ahead and delete the old dbx file that you moved to the desktop.
     
    If you have not then bak copies of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin:

    DBXpress run in extract disc Mode is the best chance to recover messages:
    http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/default.aspx

    And see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4

    A general warning to help avoid this in the future:

    Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They finally are damaged. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

  • All my programs files and personal files are missing

    All my program files are missing (menu start - click 'all programs' - and it shows 'empty'... but if I taper type in an .exe application, then right-click and run as administrator, it works.)  In addition, all of my documents and photos disappeared.  I went completely through the computer and they simply went (value years of family photos).  Winundelete tried and it did not, so I guess that they are not simply deleted.  Any help?  I'm really confused.  (for the only system restore restore point before that the problem does not help)

    Have you seen evidence that you have been infected by malicious software recently?

  • Some of my files are missing in my CC, what happened to them?

    Some of my files are missing, what happened to them? I opened my case and I saw that my files have been updated, once it is 100% complete, and some of my files are not in my files. That's happened? How can I get them back?

    Maxine,

    With the recent update of the application of Creative Cloud Desktop (1.9.1.474), we have unfortunately introduced a bug that causes the creation of a new Creative Cloud Files folder and re-synchronization of all content. This will happen only the first time that the synchronization application runs after the update. This caused an understandable pain and confusion, for which we really apologize.

    Creative application Cloud Files contains a logic that supports the use of several Adobe ID. This allows to disconnect from an ID and in, but keeps the contents of your separate creative cloud. When you sign out and change identifiers, the app moves the previous creative Cloud Files folder and it's content and he adds with the already signed in ID (User@AdobeID). Then, it creates a main folder and begins to synchronize the content of the identification of new.

    The bug I mentioned earlier occurs, as the app believes an ID selector took place and as such, moves the current record of Creative Cloud Files and attempts to annex the already signed in ID. As no switch actually took place, it manifests as (unknown).  The application then creates a main folder to synchronize the data.

    What you end up with is essentially a creative Cloud Files folder with your new synchronized data and a creative Cloud Files (unknown) folder that contains duplicate data.

    This happens once, after the last update.

    The solution is to simply delete the (unknown) Creative Cloud Files folder.

    I recommend that ensure you that you have no pending change you can do offline and you check the contents of the folder new, main designer Cloud Files contains everything you expect of him.  If this is not the case, check the contents of the creative Cloud files (unknown).

    If there is still an incompatibility with your data, you can check on creative.adobe.com to confirm that your data is there.

  • Satellite A100: some files are missing when copying DVD on the desktop

    Hello

    Suppose I have 1000 files on a DVD.
    I drag all these files in the desktop, all of a sudden I see this is 920 files.
    If some files are missing.

    What this may be?
    There are no errors. I don't think that something is wrong.
    I initially thought maybe hidden files are counted in the DVD, but not on the desktop?
    Maybe something on the desktop?

    Anyone have any ideas? I tried to put it on 'To see the hidden files' - it's a Toshiba A100.

    I just ran a scan antivirus on this file and it let's say 1500 files analyzed.
    Haha. Antivirus but probably scanned all etc. desktop.ini and Thumbs.db.
    .. And maybe Windows Vista now have those when you want to display the number of files?

  • Whenever I start the system complains that the following files are missing, c:\\Windows\System32\igfxpers.exe, igftray.exe and hkcmd.exe.

    Original title: files missing error

    Whenever I start the system complains that the following files are missing, c:\\Windows\System32\igfxpers.exe, igftray.exe and hkcmd.exe. Everything started after I ran scan and scan deleted some files infected. However, I can use the system. Where and how to download the missing files? Or how the system does not deliver messages?

    Simon

    Two of the three files are probably part of the malware infection and not the files infected. The third is probably the same details in this link:
    http://www.Runscanner.NET/file/Hkcmd.exe.html

    To identify what loads when you start using Autoruns (freeware from Microsoft).
    http://www.Microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ProcessesAndThreads/Autoruns.mspx

    With Autoruns, you can deselect an item which disables startup, or you can click with the right button on an item, then remove it. If you clear the check box that you can check back for re - activate the element. It is an approach much safer than editing the registry and better than using msconfig. You will find the three points and they will have a description 'file is missing' against everyone. Your antivirus software has removed the files, but not the startup entries in the registry. All you need to do is delete the entry using Autoruns to eliminate the error messages.

    Another useful feature of the program is that you can click with the right button on an item and select search online to get information about the selected item.
