this happened around one year ago before i discovered this site.. one day i clicked on start and on the music tab.. then an error occurred.. it says that the file location cannot be found. then i browsed 'my computer' there i saw that there are two files separated, a file location with the icon of the music folder, and one with simply a folder icon.. after five days, same thing happened with the my documents folder.. the separate file with the folder icon contains every single file of the "REAL" icon. while the other one has nothing in it.. same with the music icon..
Had a couple of transferred programs that needed to have *.exe shortcut icons in my 'Start > Programs' list. Guess what? I can't find it...I can't even find 'Documents & Settings'. Where is this folder officially located in Vista (as I'm very used to XP Pro, only recently having converted over)...so I can drag&drop the executable?
I want to search for a file and when I find it, I want to be able to right click and select open file location so a explorer window will open and I can see where the file is located...this used to exist in xp search.
I cannot connect to the PC where I had my Documents folder - so I need to reset the documents folder back to its original location on my PC - but becuase I can no longer access the current location for the Documents folder I can't access that folder in order to change its location - i.e. how can I restore the default location for the Documents folder when I can no longer access that folder?
I know I can easily Move the Documents/Pictures folders by modifying the location form in the folder's properties, but how do I move my Josh (user) folder? I set up a seperate partition where I want this folder to go, where I'll store all my movies, pictures etc. Oh btw I've just done a full format so the user files are empty, I'm just going to move it to a new location and then move my backed up files over.
I am moving my Documents , Pictures, and Music folders associated with the start menu on the right side of start menu (under the user pix) to a seperate partition on the hard drive so that it will be easier to back up these files monthly, and also allow me to create an image disk of the os without all the data files being included. Going very smoothly except that I stupidly deleted the music folder after I had moved the files, and now when I click the music tab on the start menu, it no longer directs to where the music files have been moved. The Pictures and Documents tabs work correctly...that is, when I click those tabs on the start menu, I am taken to their new location just fine.
My question is, is there some way to re-create that original Music folder which , when I right-click properties, has the tab for LOCATION which will then allow me to change its location settings so that the Music tab on the start menu can find it ? Seems to be a special type of folder, and if I just create a new one, it does not include the Location tab under properties. I should add that I can create a shortcut and pin it to the start menu, but if possible, I'd like to use the original Music tab on the right side of start menu.
just downloaded a program called Screen2Dream, what I need to know is where is the Vista Screen saver file location so that I can drop more animated screen savers into it?
In the XP operating system when I wanted to find the storage locatioon of a file I could right click on the file-click properties and show the target location. In visa it seems that when I try the same thing the Path to the target is not visible. How do I find the target path?
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. Now I'm sure there is a simple fix for this, but I can't seem to find it. I happen to have two files now that I can NOT delete. I keep getting the message; Could not find this item. This is no longer lacated in C:UsersRoyBoyFavorites. Verify the item's location and try again................
Is there a registry setting to change the default right click 'save picture as' location in IE7 / Vista. Would like to change from (my pictures) to (Desktop)
I did learn that I have a delete folder for the deleted e-mail, now no matter what I do I cannot delete the mail from the folder. My pc has been running very slow, and I think that could be the problem.
i've just installed vista and i was trying to listen to a radio station on Vista and this came up: any idea's on how this can be solved. and i'm very sorry if there is another problem like this because i probibly missed it.
xxxx file could not be found. Check the spelling of the file name, and verify that the file location is correct. The file path is fixed due the email program ( Eudora ) and you can see the attachment as " available " but can not open it. The file is saved on OCULT FILES, inside of USERS.
Windows Vista Ultimate 64. I right click and hit delete on a file and I get Item not found This is no longer located in C:Users?blahblah/downloads verify the items location and try again. I booted into safe mode (under the admin account) and tried to delete it, and it still didn't work.
I have an Asus F5 laptop with Vista Home premium. I was loading Ubuntu 9.04. Once I restarted, I got a GRUB menu. Once I clicked on Vista loader, I got an error in BIG red ERROR. C:Recovery.dat file not found. I have used the recovery Vista CD but it not have a recovery option or console , so cannot use fixmbr in command line. If I load Vista , it asks for the driver CD and then I get a GRUB error 22. I am unable to get into Vista.
I assume I picked up a virus. My comp says the autoexec.bat file cannot be found. The window sockets are not operating. When I hit the F10 key all the entries are gone. I have vista and i have the operating disc that came with it, however it does not work in the drive. It pops up and says to boot from cd or dvd press any key, then it goes back to the blue windows screen with my icons. How do i format the hd so i can reinstall windows.
When I try to open a file (Word, Excel, pdf) directly from Windows Mail without saving the file, the associated program opens then I get an error message saying that the file C:WindowsSystem32 could not be found.
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.
Everytime when I try to open Microsoft Office 2007 I'm getting message: this file could not be found, (C:Windowssystem32Files.doc. After this I press OK button and I'm getting second one: The directory name is not valid. (C:Windowssystem32(x86) Microsoft.doc) I press Ok and program open and works fine. I know that I can use it but this things really bother me because I know that something is wrong and maybe later it will be bigger problem.

- I keep getting an error notification every second : autoit v3 regsvr.exe - Corrupt File The file or directory /FOUND.000 is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility. Its very distracting and I ran the check disk utility and still no change.

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
When i try and change the name of any folder, new or old, i get an error message that says "the file or folder does not exist" . i have tried every registry fix, download, settings change that i can find, and nothing helps. i have tried the fix on the microsoft site as well, but to no avail. if there is any ideas out there as to why the fixes that seem to be working for other people aren't working for me, they would be much appreciated. i am running vista business x 32 on a lenovo laptop. the operating system came preinstalled. i cannot recall any particular event that may have caused this...
Why won't Vista allow me to remove a folder and a file in the folder for a program that no longer exists on my system. Vista says I need permission?! I even tried deleting it in safe mode.
I know the title doesn't make sense, here goes. I have Vista Basic and I installed a program named "Sudoku 600" in "C:Program FilesSudoku 600". I let the program generate a puzzle and then save it as "Puzzle 01.sud" in the program's folder. When I look in the folder, the file is not there. I can use the "Command Prompt" and do a 'dir' and it is not there. I can hit "CTRL F" and search for it and it is not there.
When I ask the program to load the file it IS there and it loads fine (no, it isn't in a database or somewhere else - there are other "*.sud" files in the folder that were put there by the program installation and each puzzle is a stand-alone file). I can use a program called "Agent Ransack" to search for it and the file is there and I can click on it within "Agent Ransack" and it opens fine. I have the Sudoku program on a Windows XP machine and the files are saved individually and show up in the folder. Why are they hidden in Vista and not XP?

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.".........
