Touch A Folder, Windows 7 Changes Its Modified Date?
Dec 9, 2009
In Windows 7, whenever I click on a shared folder, it immediately does something (thumbnail creation?) and changes the modified date. So if I select mulyiple folders, they all have their modified date changed to the same time. Is there a known way to stop this from happening? It's a little annoying right now.
"date modified" field does not update when files are replaced in a zip folder while running Windows 7 64-bit.
Data files are stored in zip files and utilized daily. At the days end the files are replaced with the most current revision. The updated file displays the correct "date modified", however when the filed is transfered into the zip file, the "date modified" displayed within the zip file does not update.
I don't have this problem with Windows XP or 2000. Is there some hidden setting that is needed for Windows 7 to recognize file modification dates just as every version prior?
It becomes frustrating that Microsoft continues to add nice new fancy operating features, but yet continuously fails to ensure the basic functions are maintained.
It seems that Windows likes to modify my jpg files!! Modified date and filesize seems to change on its own, perhaps something to do with the thumbnail view in Explorer.
When searching in windows 7 libraries (in pictures, music etc) the results shown are only arranged in date modified clicking on drop down menu show all other choices (top results etc) greyed out Im using windows 7 build 7601 acer aspire 5332 4gb ram
For some reason I have lost my Name, Date Modified, Type options at the top of my folders.I have gone thru every setting and can't seem to get them back.
How do I get back the original time of date modified? I need them the date modified to be restored immediately.if this cant be done in a snap or soon as all my office files(doc,xls) are in a folder and all are showing the same date!
One directory (Directory A) containing the same files as Directory B but with the wrong Date created / modified attributes.how to make all the files in Directory A have the same date created/modified attributes as Directory B.
I created a folder on my desktop and add images of books I have sold almost daily. With Windows XP, the images would stay in order as I added them, but with Windows 7 they are always in order of the image name. I have tried using the different sort by date options, but they are always sorted by the image name (which is a 5 digit number). How can I sort them by the date I add them to the folder?
The win 7 start menu download folder item on the right sorts by name. This is very annoying. I cannot find a download unless I know its name. If by date I just look up a recent download at top of list. How do I change behavior so downloads in start menu (right column) sorts by date? I changed the folder properties in explorer so the download folder sorts by date. It does there no problem. But not in the start menu.
i have a lot of photos in different folders and i want to sort them into order of date taken, i know this can be done via ..right click, sort by..more..date taken.But this is a pain to keep doing, is there anyway i can have it so windows remembers that i want "date taken" in the right click menu or can it be set as default anywhere?
Have set the correct time zone, set the date and time, and within half an hour, the time jumps ahead significantly. Time then continues jumping periodically, and date as well. Any patch available for this?
Can Windows 7 Professional be modified to run as a domain controller and use Active Directory? If so please point the way to a tutorial if you know of one.
What type of ways are there to change a modified file date without a human being involved with the computer?I'm trying to prove that I didn't change a file on the computer. Could Windows 7, an application on the computer, and application in the cloud with access to the computer (ie Dropbox or QuickBooks, etc) or Norton Security Software change a Modifed date without me touching the computer?
When I rip a CD and then rename a track (adding a date for example), when playing back that track with Windows Media Player or my MP3 player the display reverts back to the original (unmodified) name.Can anyone tell me why please and what can I do to get the modified lable to become visible ?
The icons on my desktop suddenly were modifed with a tiny little rectangle that looks like a miniature desktop with little red, green and blue characters added to them.The recycle bin and my computer icons don't have this modification.
So whats the difference between installing a stock driver over a modified manufacture one cause my video driver is alittle outdated and i check on the website that a new one was release so should i uninstall that one and install the new one or just leave it as it be?
I would [almost] swear that I used to be able to click on a file in Windows Explorer and then add or change it's details such as the dates. I may be "misremembering" but I think I could do it at the bottom of the Explorer screen or by rick-clicking, selecting properties and the Details tab.If it was ever true it is no longer so. I can't get any of the fields for a file, from Explorer or file properties/details, to open up for entry or modification.After looking at similar posts here, I went through the Take Ownership process just to make sure there were no security issues but that didn't make any difference.
I've got four sticky notes that I'm currently modifying. One of them, I deleted a large amount of text from it. When I turned my computer on today, the old version was there as well. I tried to delete it, but my computer is treating it like it's a part of the desktop background and not a note. Two of the other notes are doing the same thing. When I reopen the Sticky Notes gadget my newer versions open too, but on top of the others. I can't move the others, delete them, anything.
My laptop is less than a week old, with a 6GB RAM, 750GB hard drive, and 2.5GHz + Turbo processor, so I'm pretty sure it's not the problem. I just installed a new video editing software (Corel VideoStudio Pro X4)
when I turn on my computer after 6-8 plus hours of not using it, I get this message while the BIOS is booting but before Windows starts: Overclocking Failed! Please enter setup to re-configured your system. Press F1 to Run Setup.Press F2 to load default values and continue.Now I know how to simply fix this issue by resetting the BIOS and/or if necessary, temporary removing and replacing the jumper pin on the motherboard and/or if *really* necessary, temporary removal and replacement of the CMOS battery. For me, it works by simply resetting the BIOS.To let you know since this has been happening, I have increased my RAM to 8GB. I had to make some changes to my BIOS like slight voltages increases in DRAM and the motherboard's northbridge and the memory module timings modified. I saved these BIOS changes (as a BIOS profile) to stabilize my 8GB of RAM which seems to work great -- stability issues solved.What actually happens is that one the *very first* BIOS booting when powering up my computer, the BIOS does not boot and without the beep from the motherboard's POST BIOS test. My monitor is black while, yet the tower LED shows it is running. I can hear the fan in the tower running fine. I have to manually restart the computer from the reset button and then on the second BIOS boot, the BIOS loads fine, followed by this "Overclocking Failed!" issue just before Windows can load. After another computer reboot and my resetting of the BIOS, followed by yet another computer reboot, the BIOS and Windows operating system loads fine and I am on my way.
Now *this is a pain in the butt* each morning after the system has been off for awhile or when my computer has not been running for 6-8 hours!!! The computer SHOULD NOT have to go through this!!! This whole sequence of events (4 computer boots) in the last paragraph does not happen if the time duration since my computer was not running is short since I last used my computer -- the computer boots and runs completely fine.Any ideas so I can keep the modified BIOS profile so my computer runs stable and not have this whole sequence of events happen -- so BIOS can load without any issues?Some basic general stats of my system:
- Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit. - Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 -- Yorkfield 2.83 GHz 1333 MHz processor. - ASUS P5Q desktop motherboard. - 8 GB of Corsair XMS2 4x2 GB DDR2 RAM. - XFX Radeon HD5670 Graphics Card.
I am using Win 7 for a while (came pre-installed with laptop). Now it's time to have Win 7 (x64) installed on personal desktop as well.I just a have a specific question related to BIOS. Hope to avoid unnecessary delays/problems this way.
I recently got a new hard drive that is now windows 7, before I had windows XP. I only just transferred the usb cable and now every time i tried to back up or save a file to the Maxtor one touch 4 plus, it gave a warning window that said it couldn't perform the function because the disk was damaged or corrupted. I have also checked the drive for any errors by scanning it for any problems but nothing has come up. I just now uninstalled the driver in case I could reinstall it but that is not working because its not recognizing that it was uninstalled. Please help me find another software for this. I also looked online for the software and the Seagate company offers this software for free however, it is only compatible with the Mac OS X systems and not for any windows systems.
I got installed A-touch (Taiwan) touch screen kit on a monitor. Unfortunately the CD that came with the kit has only XP drivers and Win7 drivers is missing. Also the A-touch website has not posted win7 drivers.
