Cannot Redirect Descendant To Parent
May 27, 2009
Anyway, In Vista's start menu, I redirected the "Pictures" folder to my user folder "Matthew".. Clicked okay and blah blah blah didn't think twice about it, until I tried to redirect it again. Now I get the error message "cannot redirect descendant to parent". I saw a tutorial for this but my issue has a hidden detail..
When I click onto my Local Disk, drive C in "My Computer", go to "Users" then "Matthew" all is fine.. But then in my start menu when I click the newly redirected Pictures folder that now is Matthew, it contains all the files is should, PLUS a copy of "Matthew" again.. So on the top of the window it say "Users>Matthew>Matthew" yet when I go through "C>Users>Matthew" there is not second Matthew file, IT ONLY APPEARS WHEN I GO THROUGH THE START MENU.. Also, when I click "properties" on the first Matthew file, it says its size is 2.73gb, yet none of the files it contains even amount to 500mb..

I use Vista Business. I've set up my Windows Fax and Scan to automatically answer calls. Is there a way to redirect calls to my answer machine if it is not a fax call?

I write click on a folder and see that the "Read-only (Only applies to files in folder)" attribute is checked and grayed out. I uncheck it, click Apply, and leave the "Apple changes to this folder, subfolders and files" radio button clicked. I hit OK and a few minutes later all the permissions are supposedly updated. I then try to copy a file into a subfolder and... I can't. It's as though the folder, itself, is Read-only and that the "Read-only (Only applies to files in folder)" checkbox does indeed "only apply to files in folders" and not to folders, themselves.
I go to a folder that has no subfolders in it and see that the "Read- only (Only applies to files in folder)" checkbox for that is grayed out and checked, as well. I uncheck it and right click and... it works. I right click on the parent directory (which contains no other subfolders) and do the same thing and... it's still grayed out.
