Series Of Clicking Into Folders And Files Noises Randomly
Sep 12, 2011
Randomly around 9pm or 10pm at night I would hear a series of clicking into folders sound, you know that sound windows makes when you open a folder? It's that sound.Nothing is moving on my computer. I just hear that folder opening sound sometimes.It's not just 1 click. It's a series of 5-6 clicks, with pauses in between each click. so it actually sounds like someone is going through files.Does anyone know what could be wrong? I ran a full slow check with AVG and it found nothing.

it now rapidly left clicks stuff and will not let me left click for a couple of seconds. it also randomly highlights. it's been doing this for about 2 weeks now. i've tried changing the usb ports for the mouse, also switched between 2.0 and 3.0. i've tried screwing around with the dpi, all kinda stuff, nothing works. it's a razor naga, also i can upload a video to Internet of what the mouse is doing. it's really annoying because i play starcraft and fpss professionally and not being able to left click sometimes really really fucks me up.

Vaio VGN-FW510F with W7 Home Premium - This has happened a few times but I can usually fix it by running system restore. Whenever I try to open a folder by simply double-clicking, it brings up an error message stating that I do not have a program assigned to perform the requested action. I checked my defaults and windows search is assigned to handle folder browsing. The only way into the folders is to right-click and hit Open, but along with that, cmd (in bold) is the first option in the right-click menu. If I click it, it says the same thing as trying to double-click.

Whenever I click on folders that contain mkv/h264 files, explorer crashes. But if I view the folders through the open feature of say notepad, then I can click and delete the folders no problem.

In Windows Explorer, I can't open folders by double clicking then any more. I can still open them by expanding then pointing to collapsed sub folders etc. Double clicking folders within an application also still works.

Notepad seems to have lost its association to .txt files somewhere along the line. If I double click a .txt file, the command line window appears. Is there a solution? I've tried re-associating txt files with Notepad to no avail. Also, the 'Always use the selected program to open this kind of file' check box is greyed out in the 'Choose default program' dialogue box.

my Synaptics touchpad mouse has had a mind of its own. It has been clicking and opening files without me pressing the mouse buttons or tapping the touchpad,scrolling by itself, highlighting and moving the files on my desktop and in my computer, etc.I have tried everything from physically cleaning the Touchpad thoroughly, updating the Synaptics driver time and time again only to find no resolution to this issue, I have also uninstalled and reinstalled previous versions of the synaptics drivers that worked before with my laptop only to be confronted with this same problem.I have ran scans on both Uni-blue registry booster and PC Tools Spyware Doctor (which I use as my registry and anti-virus/spyware programs) and of which I update on a daily/weekly basis and yet I have found no traces of what may be causing my mouse to act so crazy.I have also ran the system scan in the command prompt which was suggested earlier in this thread only to find out that everything was running properly and at 100% integrity.
I have an HP dv7-3065dx Entertainment Notebook [pavilion dv7 is the product name on the back] that I purchased from Best buy in 2010. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit that was pre-installed onto my laptop. I have been pretty thorough on keeping all of my Microsoft and HP drivers up to date and have only began to experience this problem with my touchpad earlier this month. As far as the programs that I use on a daily basis; I mostly use Mozilla Firefox as a web browser and Microsoft Word for my schoolwork and the GOM media player for watching videos. None of which I have been able to do properly since this issue established itself onto my computer.

these randomly named folders? These folders show up at the whim of Windows and require additional security to access the subfolder which is empty. This is an HP G72 laptop with an Intel I3 processor so the amd64 name is very misleading. L:8a98f4a55a320d4390f197amd64 L:c82aba78a037e47cfbamd64

I really need help on this so I will try to include as much detail so you guys don't get confused at what I'm talking about.I was clearing up space on my hard drive and deleting stuff that I don't need.I came across C:Windows.oldwindows folder and saw that it was about 13 gigabytes - and seeing that it's from windows.old, I deleted the windows folder contained there. After deleting C:Windows.oldwindows ,I find out that my C:Windows.oldusers folder is empty, how is this possible?

i had last year Icons sizes change back to details sizes on specific folder
may also be relate to the issue that this user had Shortcut icons re-sizing randomly My OS had gone crazy and change icon's sizes back to details sizes in random folders, last time i had that issue i thought it was solved by this method Icons sizes change back to details sizes on specific folder
But unfortunately it only was temporary, i had to format anyway so the problem was solved after the format and never appeared again till 3 days ago.
it not seem to be a virus but it really annoy, the only thing i done 3 days ago that was extraordinary for me was to edit some video on windows live movie maker + cccp codecs, i rarely use WLMM but happened to use it 3 days ago, and after that the issue reappear, i can't use system restore since i done alot of stuff on my pc and don't want to lose them, and also i don't happened to made restore point before the day the issue occurred and the rest are deleted..so SR is not a option.

My microphone keeps picking up background noises, like me breathing, my mouse and keyboard clicks. I've tried lowering ALL of the microphone "Levels" in recording settings to 0 and plugged my mic into different USB ports and I'm still getting noises, which doesnt make any sense to me.
I'm using Windows Home Premium, the Logitech New Clearchat Comfort headset/mic and the soundcard is listed as USB Audio Device (associated with the headset I'm assuming..)

I am running Windows 7 x64 on an HP p6653.
-5GB Ram
-Athlon II X@ 250 processor 3 GHz
-The machine is around a year old
It randomly gives BSOD. I have checked the dump files and it seems to show at least 3 possible reasons depending on the file. I have updated drivers from the manufacturers sites directly to try and fix the problem. Other solutions I found for the various error codes did not seem to apply.BTW- Please don't pay attnetion to the dump files created on 4-1-12. I know why those happened. It was my error.

Just yesterday my desktop (currently using laptop) randomly restarted and now no .exe files will open. I have searched the forums and some posts suggested combofix. However, I cannot access the internet nor can I open any files. I also ran the computer in safemode and still no luck. I have the following antivirus programs: AVG 2012, Malwarbyte, Super antivirus, and CC cleaner. Oddly enough, CC cleaner and Super antivirus works normally but doesn't fix any problems. I would say 90% of my programs cannot open. I can run the command prompt as well.Things I have tried:
1) system restore
2) System recovery options

I was going to restore my netbook OS back to XP from Windows 7 (The fancy looks aren't worth the trouble) and I found I had apparently deleted my XP restore file. So I decided to stick with Windows 7 for awhile.One irritating feature was that my files and folders within a folder were not in alphabetical order.It took me 30 min of messing around to finally alphabetize one folder and apply that to all folders

I was wondering if there are any possible things I could do to get windows 7 to hide files and folders that start with the character "." (you know like Linux).
I find many windows programs create files that are not hidden but start with ".", and while tecnically this is a problem with the program, almost all of them do this so it would be very nice if windows handled this correctly.

When I go to C:/users/my name/My Documents and select it, the right panel displays the files on top and the folders below. When I go to Libraries/Documents/My Documents and select it, the right panel displays the folders above the files. Most of my folders display the sub-folders above the files. How can I make all selected folders display the sub-folders above the files? None of the usual SORT routines change this display mode.

I get two entirely different looking prompts when overwriting, one asks me if I want to overwrite folders and I can select Yes and press Enter. The other asks me if I want to overwrite files and when I highlight Copy and Replace and press Enter nothing happens. I have to move my mouse over it and click to make it go.

Just got my Windows 7 computer. I am used to XP file search dialog box. I looked at the "How to configure and fully utilize Windows 7 Search" on this site.
I think I am going to have to take a couple of days to figure this out.
Couple of quick questions: 1. In the search results window, I RMB a file and select "open in new window". the new window address bar does not contain a path. It contains some search info. How do I open in a new window and have the path in the address bar?
2. It appears the search does not limit itself to file names. It is also searching for contents. How do I prevent it from searching contents.

Anything I try to open, I get the: Security Download or open window. So I download the file or folder, and it takes me to the file-folder, but windows won't open it, and the same security download or run Box asks me to Download it again. Thus, nothing opens.
