"There Is A File Or Folder On Your Computer Called 'C:Program'"
May 22, 2012
So I just received a computer I purchased from CyberPower Inc. and set everything up; so far things have gone smoothly except for the following: When I first booted the computer up, and every subsequent startup, I receive the following error message on the homescreen, "There is a file or folder on your computer called 'C:Program' which could cause certain applications to not function correctly. Renaming it to 'C:Program1' would solve this problem. Would you like to rename it now?" If I opt to rename it, then the next startup the message appears again but this time wants me to rename it to "C:Program2". It does seemt to be causing some problems for the way internet explorer functions. I haven't finished setting up the computer/restoring my backups or anything because I don't want to go through that entire process if I am going to need to find the windows installation CD that came with the computer, reinstall the OS, etc.

I am trying to uninstall a program called PaperPort Image Printer 64 bit. When I press the uninstall button, I get a message saying "The System Administrator has set policies which prevent this installation". Then I get "You do not have sufficient access to uninstall PaperPort Image Printer 64 bit. Please contact your administator. I am the only user and have administrator rights. I created a new user with administartor rights and it could not uninstall the program either. How do I get the rights so I can uninstall?

I have 2 program folders listed as x86 on my 64 bit machine. This 2nd x86 program folder contains games that were downloaded and installed from Big Fish games (and those are the only programs that ever go into that 2nd x86 folder).
Other info (that may be important?): I recently upgraded from Vista to Windows 7. This 2nd 86x program folder was also on my Vista install. I upgraded using the method here to create the windows .old folder process... and that 2nd 86x folder installed into my C drive automatically. (I also used the HP upgrade assistant as directed by HP.
It really drives me crazy that I don't know why I have 2 of these folders. Doesn't seem to cause any issues at all, but wanted to get advice/opinion as to why I have 2 of these and if I'll ever run into issues because of it.

This bug been going on for a while, on my Windows 7 64bit. When I am done downloading anything through torrent (and no, I am talking legit files here), I can't move them to anywhere else, when I chose to cut them out and paste in new location it says it can't move the folder/file because it is open in another program. Only solution I found is to kill and restart explorer.exe, but program comes back after just a couple of minutes. Even if torrent program is closed as well.

Sometimes when I want to move a folder, I receive the following message:
"The action can't be completed because the folder or a file in it is open in another program..."
This is frequently caused by a Thumbs.db file, which I believe generates thumbnail images. Is there a way to prevent Windows from locking these files, so they can be moved, without disabling thumbnails completely as explained above?

In XP when I chose Folder options and then the File types tab, Folder was listed as a file type (Extension=None). I could select it, click the Advanced button and add a program to that file type. I would add the phrase CommandPrompt connected to the program cmd.exe. This then would allow me to right click on a folder and open the DOS window at that location. A big time saver for the work I do. I cannot find how to do this in Windows 7.

I have a computer that is a drone specifically for an outside LED sign. This computer is designed to never shut off and doesn't have any other program on it besides Operating System and the sign software. I need to create a batch file that I can place in the "start-up" folder that will open the program (LEDStudio10) and open the file that I want to play. I have already tried multiple attempts and I was hoping someone out there in sevenforums world would be able to point me in the right direction.

I'm moving from an XP machine to a Windows 7 machine and have transferred my project files (engraving files as well as .bmp). When I try to open a project folder in any of the programs I use it takes 2-3 minutes for it to load all the filesThere are just over 10,000 files in the folder, they are all small files (nothing larger than 100k), and on the XP machine it loads in an instant.I have done everything I can find online (turned off indexing, changed the folder prefs, etc) and nothing works. When I open the folder within Windows it loads in an instant, however when I try to open it within a program is when it dragsDoes anybody have any ideas of what else I can try outside of threatening the computer with physical violence?Also as you can tell by my screen name I'm a mac user that has to use PCs at work.

I don't know where this error hs_err_pid came from.I closed down explorer and there were all this notepad messages on my desktop and I can't get rid of them. Researching, I know this is a Java thing. I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times to no avail.My windows update is fully updated.I've run 3 virus programs.I notice this was addressed for someone using XP but what of Windows 7? My add/remove program file only contines the program Java (TM) update 29. Nothing else is listed as far as Java is concerned.I've run cleaner programs and these did not take care of the problem. Every time I restart my machine these errors immediate pop up at start up.

I have a batchfile that ftp's several other batch files to a computer, then calls one of them which schedules the rest. The scheduler batch file uses the schtasks command. When i run the first batch file, it pulls the files fine but twhen it calls the scheduler, i get the error "'schtasks' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." However I know that the command is installed on the computer because i can type in 'schtasks' and i get all the current scheduled tasks' information. I can also manually run the second scheduler batch file and it runs. It only fails when the first batch file calls it. The calling statement at the very end of the first batch file is "call C:atchfilesscheduler.bat". The scheduler is only four schtasks commands on four lines. Can you help me figure out why the commands fail when called from the first batch file.

Today I've turned computer on, and when Windows loaded, I saw that CPU load of my computer is 25-35 % and is caused by "System Idle process". Ok, I know that this process works when computer does nothing, but I've noticed one important thing - until this process wasn't working on my laptop, PC was working on batteries up to 5 hours, now, when this in normal process is working, time on batteries is 2h 50 min (max)... How I can turn off that process? I've already reinstalled Windows, only because of that problem, and I was happy only 3 days, today, this process returned. I use Russian version of Windows. I also uploaded two screenshots, where you can see that "system idle process", I've marked it (Screenshot nr.2) [URL].

Cannot delete a noname empty system folder under Computer caused by deletion of the name only of a 16Gb USB network drive of a D-Link DIR-635 router network. I am having trouble configuring the router for a printer and a USB HD (the 16Gb drive is the test drive). I think this noname folder is part of my router configuration problem.Explorer shows my C:, D:, E: and F: (DVD) drives and under them an empty noname folder. I can access Desktop under DOS (at Admin level) but that does not show the Computer and drive details. I have run Unlocker but without effect?

I've noticed that I have two program files. One just states Program Files and the other Program Files (X86). I believe that the one with (x86) pertains to the Win7 64 Bit however, is the other program file necessary? Since I have Win7 Ultimate 64 Bit don't you think that all files and folders should go to it?

When listing the installed programs there is a column called 'location'. How and where does this come from in the installation program? In other words in Visual Studio 2008 where does one put this entry for the installation to cause it to show up?
