Copy The Files: Windows Has Found This File Is Potentially Harmful

Feb 23, 2009

I am running Windows Vista Ultimate with Windows Defender Disabled and Norton Internet Security 2009 installed. Someone who is completely trusted sent me an email with an attachment. The attachment was defined as a ZIPP file. I copied the file to my desktop and renamed it to a ZIP file to access the enclosed files. Within the ZIP are four OCX files which I need to copy to my System32 directory.

When I attempt to copy the files to any location in my computer, I get "Windows has found this file is potentially harmful. To help protect your computer, Windows has blocked access to this file." When I click on the "How does this help protect my computer." link it takes me to Windows Mail help. This has nothing to do with Windows Mail. Where can I adjust the Security settings in Windows to fix this problem

Copy File: Item Not Found

May 11, 2008

I have a 4gb Kingston Flash Drive, and when i try to copy some file which are large in size such as anything greater than 400 mb (movie) i get an error: "Could Not Find This Item. This item is no longer located in (directory) Verify the Items locations and try again." However i have verified that the file (movie) is there and works, however i have gotten this error after several attempts, i have tried reformatting the flash drive. Also i have changed the security settings for the that folder and have checked the Full Control icon, however i still get the same error.

I would also like to mention is when i copy something such as some pictures which are less than 100mb they do transfer fine. Also when i transfer something from my external hard drive to the flash drive such a Movie (does not matter the size) it also transfers, so there is something wrong with the settings on the computer, however i am unsure what it is.

Copy/backup My Files Says ; "You'll Need To Provide Administrator Permission To Copy To This File."

May 1, 2008

My old Windows XP PC died months ago (motherboard problems) and so I took out the hard drive (which still functions fine) and put it in my new PC, but I can't seem to copy any of my files in the My Documents folder from the old drive to my newer larger drive. I've had this drive in here for the last several months and have had no problems writing other files to this 'older' drive (250 gig Maxtor 16mb cache, 7,200RPM drive (btw it's only a year old), but when I try to copy files to another drive I get the following error message: "You'll need to provide administrator permission to copy to this file." This only happens with files that are in the My Documents folder. My current login has administrator rights, so I'm thinking some how this has something to do with this drive being from a different computer's installation of XP.

Mar 23, 2008

I have a Windows 2003 R2 x64 (all current SPs and updates installed) and 3 Windows Vista machines (also al X64 versions). When trying to copy a (large - maybe 50MB +) file from the Windows 2003 Server to the Vista Machines (the Server Shared folder is mapped to a drive in Vista) - I will get an error like "There is a problem access I:igfile.txt - make sure you are connected to the Network and try again" Once in a while I will see "Error 0x8007003A" I can copy those files just fine from Windows 2003 to another Windows 2003 machine or Windows XP machines...

Mar 23, 2008

I am trying to copy files from my usb hard drive: K: to my network external drive Z:
I am trying to copy everything from one to another (files in folders and files that are not in folders)

I tried selecting all and then send to Z:, but it took about six hours to copy about 20 gig (I have about 180 gig to copy)

I read some where that robocopy is a faster and better way to copy files.The thing is I do not know what syntax to use. I was wondering if someone could tell me the syntax I should use to copy EVERYTHING from the usb driveK: to the network drive Z:

Note Delete File - File Not Found!

I've been around here a couple of time in the last couple of years with my Vista machine and you all always seem to have the answers for me. So here I go again.

This is no longer lacated in C:UsersRoyBoyFavorites. Verify the item's location and try again................

"this File Could Not Be Found" - Windows Mail Cant Open Attached

May 5, 2009

Since I installed IE8, I have had a lot of small glitches. I have been able to clean them all up. But this one has been completely resistant to all my attempts to solve it. Here is the problem. Please READ this and do not jump to conclusions (such as that the problem is a program association problem -- which it is NOT) that are not based on this scenario, nor recommend to me doing something that I have already tried.

- I receive a Word document attached to an e-mail.
- I double click on the document in the ATTACH box of the received e-mail.
- Windows Mail opens a MAIL ATTACHMENT window asking if I want to open the document.
- Word 2007 opens.
- Word 2007 opens a MICROSOFT OFFICE WORD window that says "This file could not be found. (C:...Filename ...)" where Filename is the name of the .DOC file.

The same thing happens with PDF files: Adobe Acrobat Reader opens but then opens an ADOBE READER window that says "There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found.".........

Spam - Harmful Or Just Annoying?

Jun 11, 2009

There are emails that are not getting through to my computer. I suspect it is McAfee Total Protection's Anti-Spam. It is set to its lowest level. There is an Anti-Spam folder, but they don't go there either. My ISP (Roadrunner) is set to send all emails to me, so it is not them. We are very careful computer users and do not open attachments. How dangerous would it be to disable the Anti-Spam?

Having a new PC with Vista Business edition, 2gb ram, dual core 2mhz, I connected to my wireless LAN & found that file copy / transfers were appallingly slow. So much so that I had to use an external usb drive.

The same process is of no problem on my WinXp & Win2k PC's.

Am I missing something? other than that I dont seem to have any other

Are You Sure You Want To Copy This File Without It

May 28, 2008

as you can see by the headline, i am having trouble with copying files to my mp3 player. I have done a search on this forum and found that someone last year had the same problem, but the problem wasn't solved for that person, so i thought to start a new thread. My problem started a couple of days ago, up until then everything was fine, i could copy files to my mp3 player with no problems, sometimes i would've got the messge 'Are you sure you want to copy this file without it's properties?', i'd press yes and it would copy the files ok. But now the same message comes up, and it doesnt copy the properties. I actually tried playing my mp3 player and it crashes (restarts), until i remove the file that doesnt have the properties. I know my drive is supposed to support NTFS, my mp3 player is fat32 format and it did copy files for me up until a few days ago.

Cannot Copy 40GB File

Jun 24, 2008

I have a 40 GB vmware file that I am unable to copy from an XP SP3 laptop to a Vista x64 Ultimate desktop. Its a fairly new desktop, I'm copying to 2 raptor 500GB raid drives over a GB network through dlink xtreme router. I tried using resumable FTP, teracopy, and robocopy. With robocopy it stops at 79% and says "cannot copy file due to an I/O error" (same thing on attempt to resume). And teracopy was unable to resume either. Don't know where to start.

Cannot Copy Files

Jan 10, 2009

I've recently upgraded one machine from XP Pro to Vista Business 32-bit, and the other is a brand new laptop with Vista Home Premium x64. Both exhibit the following problem. or is it just me? The setup: On media you can write protect (i.e., a flash drive) make a copy of mfc71.dll (usually found in Windowssystem32... other MFC DLLs seem to have the same effect but try this one if you have it). Now, remove the media, write-protect it and re-insert it. Attempt to copy that DLL from the media to your desktop (NOT in Windows or other highly protected areas). Attempt to read the properties page of the DLL as it sits on the media: doesn't work.

Can someone explain why one cannot copy or even read the properties of such DLLs? I can see if it's replacing something bad or such, but simple copying is disallowed if the DLL is on write-protected media. What's up with that? And how might one get that to work normally? I've never seen anything quite like it. Why does this matter? Because it causes MAJOR problems when comparing backup media that uses an emulation layer to emulate a drive (e.g., TrueCrypt). In the example above it just doesn't work. in something like TrueCrypt (within a write-protected volume) it locks Explorer up quite thoroughly, requiring a reboot. I presume that's a failure of TrueCrypt but still, what the heck is Vista doing here?

Undeletable: Files Not Found

Mar 23, 2008

I have two 0(General Tab) byte or 82(Detail tab) byte files, depending on what tab of properties is chosen. The files are not found in DOS or renameable, deletable, shredable, and no program or method suggested in a 1.5 hour discussion with Dell has worked. DOS says the file does not exist, and any operation on the file in Vista can't find the file to change, delete, rename, etc. It is not "running" and us not used by any other process. They only show up on the desktop. Every type of method tried(Many), the message is always the same. File not found. I have SP1 installed. My Windows Explorer is up to date.

64bit Rpeventing File Copy

Oct 10, 2009

I sell a program that I wrote in Access and have had a couple customers with 64 bit versions of Windows Vista where if I send them an updated file, via email or download, it appears as though the file has copied over the old version but when they run the program it is still the old version of the program. Is there some underlying copy protection that is preventing me from copying over the file yet does not report any error or security warning?

Here are a couple details

* The original install program installs the Access runtime, my program and related system files. The program itself is made up of two files. one Access MDE (like a read-only Access file that contains all the coding) and a database file.

* I then sent them an update which consists of a zip file that contains a new MDE. They are to copy that over their existing MDE in order to use the new version.

* In one instance I was able to remote into the customer's PC and do the file copy it myself. I can see the file copy, the file size and date appear to be correct for the new version but when I would run it it would run the old code. Ths PC was an HP laptop if that makes any difference.

SP1 - File Copy And Delete Still Very Slow

Mar 24, 2008

I regularly need to delete very large backup files or move data around my hard drive. Copying or deleting files or folders still takes and absolute age. I'm still resorting to having to reboot back into Windows XP to undertake file management. This is quite disheartening to say the least. Anyone else had a better experiences of SP1 regards this? Don't get me wrong, it hasn't made things any worse.. it's just not made things any better. Surely this is a pretty fundamental thing for an OS to be able to do.

Extremely SLOW File Copy 64 To XP SP3

Jan 23, 2009

I'm a new Vista user and I've been struggling with extremely slow file copies between my Vista 64 Home Premium SP1 system and my XP SP3 system. I've searched and searched and tried a number of suggestions in posts that I have found. None have worked. I'm running a Wireless G (54mbps) network. My Internet access from both system is very fast (FiOS 20mbps download), so no issues there.

When I say extremely slow I'm talking less than 200 KBps. I get the same slow response using Explorer and Robocopy. I have disabled autotuning and RSS with these commands.

netsh interface tcp set global rss=disabled
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

Keeps Reading File After Copy Cancelled

Mar 29, 2009

I started a file copy from one drive to an other using Total Commander, then I cancelled in the middle of the operation. However, when I checked in the Resource Monitor svchost.exe was still reading the file for an other ca. 5 minutes with Background Priority, so the speed was only 15-20MB/s, but still annoying... What could cause this? ImageBam - Fast, Free Image Hosting and Photo Sharing

Cannot Copy File From Computer On Intranet

Jun 25, 2009

Since June 2008, I have had a Windows 2000 system connected to a Vista system thru a router. I have several shares defined on the Windows 2000 system. No shares are defined on the Vista system. On 28 April 2009, I replaced NIS 2008 with KIS 2008 on the Vista system. On 23 June 2009, I noticed that the Vista system could no longer COPY files from the Windows 2000 system to the Vista system, tho Vista could still open the files.

I know that, on 19/20 June 2009, the Vista system copied files from the Windows 2000 system. So something broke after that. As I recall, there was a Windows update installed on 23 June 2009. Perhaps, that update changed some settings?
