Windows 7 File System/GUI?
Jan 29, 2012
This is a rather hypothetical question - I'm wondering if there are "mods" of some kind for the Windows 7 file system which includes some more flexibility in the GUI.As an example - I have searched for but couldn't find, a feature where you right click on a folder... and click "dump contents into current window", a kind of unwrapping of the contents of a folder into the same window. It makes intuitive sense to me, if I have a physical folder, I can just open it and dump the contents out in front of me. Currently though, I need to open said folder in another window, and then transfer all the contents BACK into the (let's say higher directory) windowIs there any tweak that would let me accomplish this kind of (command line reminiscent) file management jiu jitsu?

So I found a post on this forum with a similar problem. I'm trying to move a file that is larger than 4GB in size from my main hard drive to an external, and getting the error message in the title. The consensus on the other post was that the hard drive must have been a FAT format, and that too fix the problem either split up the file or reformat the hard drive as NTFS.Well, by all accounts, my computer is telling me that my external hard drive is ALREADY formatted as NTFS, but I'm still getting this error. I would prefer not to split up the file, but other than that, what are my options?

What happened to SFC in Windows 7? This was a convienent utility in WinXP for checking and comparing the correctness of original files in an active XP OS with the original files installed.

The problem started when I had three updates that would not install at shutdown. I tried to run check disk and system file checker which neither would run initiallyCheck disk runs now and says there are no problems. SFC says "Window Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation." As for Windows update, I have tried deleting the temp update files located atC:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore and \Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download. I have also tried to Resource readiness tool as well as Microsoft Fix It for windows update. The fix it tool says it finds errors and fixes them but the problem is not fixed. It shows up every time I run the tool. Since deleting the temp files, windows update just says "Windows could not search for new updates" with and error code of 80070002.I suspected a virus at first but was unable to find anything with a full scan of AVG and Malware Bytes. Guess that doesn't mean there is not one.

I've been using win 7 ultimate (64bit) for almost week now. In that period I had one serious problem repeating 5 times if I'm not mistaken.
Message: "The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable. Please run the chkdsk utility on the volume Data."
Volume Data is logical drive. Lots of personal data is stored there using WindowsXp. As soon as I installed win 7 and tried to move some data from System partition to Data partition my PC started having these issues. I've run some diagnostic tools that win 7 offers and learned that Dirty Flag bit was raised on logical drive. I've run chkdsk utility along with checking bad sectors and problem was fixed but only for a day. Problem usually arises when I try storing data on that drive. Chkdisk fixes this but on very short period of time. PC is year old and in that period I have never experienced any kind of trouble with HDD.
This message keeps repeating : A fatal hardware error has occurred.
Reported by component: Processor Core
Error Source: Machine Check Exception
Error Type: Unknown Error
Processor ID: 2
I have large amount of data stored on Data partition there for I'm not able to format that partition.

My windows 7 system does not boot probably because of file corruption. Recovery console(repair) cannot fix system to boot and cannot tell what is the problem. I have a OEM installation disc(Premium x64, bought from shop no withing machine) and it seems that I should be able to boot system if I want to start upgrade install. I would like to repair system and preserve installed programs. The problem boot disc can be read and write ok when it is installed on other system. Is there any way I can repair my system?

Less than a month ago I build a new rig, installed Windows 7 on my SSD and at a later time I attached my old 1TB large disk with still had XP installed on it.Windows is protecting this drive, all folders are flagged read only and I'm unable to remove the read only flag, each time I try, and check back after processing a job to un flag it, there still there.I'm able to delete files and folders after accepting the UAC popup, however, there are several folders I want to remove but am unable to, /Boot, /Documents & Settings, /Windows and some root system files, but windows doesn't let me.(I need to run programs with elevated rights in order to be able to modify those files) The /Boot is from an older Windows 7 install and it should be safe removing it, because I installed windows 7 on a SSD with out any other disks attached, so no dual boot stuff.But worst of all, many files are also flagged read only, along with my project files that I'm now unable to modify.What buttons do I need to press to get windows to understand he should not be protecting this disk and there ain't no windows installed on it so I can clean up get rid of those read only flags on the files

Compaq Presario SR5010NX
Celeron D processor 360
Vista Home Basic
512 MB RAM
120 GB HDD
Intel graphics media accelerator
DVD/CD w/Lightscribe
This system is so sluggish it either has multiple infections or is just overloaded given its puny 512 MB of RAM, so I can't really use the system specs utility at the moment.Since I'm working on a similar clean install for an ACER notebook which is Win7HP 32-bit, what are the chances that the .iso file I'm burning to DVD can also be used for this much older technology. I have no problem upgrading the RAM to its max, unless it's already at its max?

Windows 7 Pro 64 SP1. He has 2 accounts on his PC (administrator, and 'user'). Both have admin privileges. When he logged in this morning using his user account, the file associations for all applications appear to have been corrupted. In his user account, all programs launch with the IE download manager which gives me an option to run or save. When 'run' is selected from IR download manager, a window quickly flashes on the screen and closes. I am unable to run any application including windows explorer, regedit, cmd, etc, including system restore.
He has Symantec Endpoint which also launched in IE download manager. My friend does not recall installing anything recently. I tried booting in safe mode and logging into the user account and the behavior is exactly the same. When I log in using the admin account (in regular mode) everything seems to be fine. The system restore option is available as are all the file associations. A Symantec scan using the admin account shows nothing other than a single tracking cookie. The only thing I can think of doing is a system restore from the admin account but thought I'd post this to the group to see if there was something else I should try first.

He has a Windows 7 64bit OS with 4GB of ram. He has been downloading a set of 8GB files and almost like clockwork, his entire system starts chugging at about 3GB. He is NOT using a bitttorent. He is using a download accelerator and he has tried a different accelerator to eliminate the possibility that it was the software. He does have comcast, but he says that in the past, he's never had issues with traffic shaping. Also, his SYSTEM is slowing down (anything else he does gets really choppy) not just the download, so we think that indicates it's not just the normal ISP stupidity, it's something wrong on his system side.

I have a program I wrote in Visual Basic that copies a file from one directory into another directory at a prescribed interval. The Visual Basic programs uses the ShellFileCopy API function ShellFileCopy Visual Basic 6 API Function FreeVBCode code snippet: Copy Files Using the Shell API 99% of the time, the program works fine.However occasionally, I get a Windows error that pop's up that says "File is too large for the destination file system" This is extremely baffling as the size of the file that is being copied is under 1MB.

We recently installed Yahoo messenger and suddenly the Library folder isn't showing any folders/files under the Administrator account. When I go to create a new Library it reads the following error message: "Unable to create the new file 'New Library.library-ms' File System Error: (16389)." Not only is the library no longer accessible, but I cannot access any of the Music, Pictures or Documents from the Start Menu.I am only able to access the folders using the search bar by selecting "User Name" from the drop down box, then suddenly everything's there. It will not allow me to drag/drop anything into the Library folder or even create a new one.

If I try to install a driver and not all of the driver files are present, I will get the error message "The system cannot find the file specified." But the problem is that it doesn't actually tell me what file it can't find. There is a large empty space right underneath the error, as if something should be in that spot, but the file name is not listed there.(The above example is if you were to update the driver manually. Like if you were to click 'Update Driver', then 'Browse my computer for driver software', then 'Browse' to the directory with the INF file in it, and then click 'Next'.)In Windows XP, if you received the same error, it would show you the name of the missing file.

Every time I start my computer I get this message;Checking file system on C: The type of the file system is NTFS. One of your disk needs to be checked for consistency. You can cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended that you continue. To skip disk checking, press any key within(10)seconds.I have allowed it to continue numerous times, but it makes no difference, this same error comes up every time I start my computer, now I just press a key within 10 seconds and that gets rid of it.

I am using a Gparted boot CD (on my other computer) to create a new partition to install Windows 7. It has an option where you select a file system for your new partition, and I'm not entirely sure what this means.
The partition for my Windows XP installation uses a "ntfs" file system, so should I use that or leave it "unformatted"?

I'm really not sure where to post this, so I apologize in advance if I should have put it somewhere else, and trust that someone will move it to where it belongs.First, a little about my home setup: My family has a mix of machines on our network, running XP, Vista, and Windows 7 (plus one rarely used machine running W95 for an old favorite game we can't get to run properly on anything newer). Years ago, when replacing an old XP machine, instead of just trashing it, I decided to reconfigure it as an El Cheapo file server, reinstalling XP from scratch and adding a large (for the time) hard drive, most of which is shared over the network. Over time, I've continued to add disk space as needed, but kept to a minimal OS install.Now, most of our family has come to rely on this shared storage space, as a means of accessing their stuff from whoever's computer happens to be closest instead of having to run to their own machine all the time to get things done. However, in the past month or so, I've had three instances where important, frequently edited files have had to be rebuilt from backups because of various communications errors or other glitches that occurred while saving updates to them.I've come to the conclusion that it's probably time to demote some other machine to this file server role (which I'll probably be doing some time after the Christmas gifts are opened ), but it seems inevitable that THAT machine will also start acting flaky some years from now, and cause some future files to need to be similarly reconstructed. My question is, can I get and configure some sort of versioning file system for this machine so that with minimal (ideally no) forethought on the part of the end users, any file that is updated has the previous version automatically saved under an alternate name, and if another glitch occurs, we won't have to reconstruct more than the last session's worth of changes to it?

I just want to apologize in advance for this dumb question and if this is not the right place to post this or if this is something too random to help me with (I'll be honest with you, I'm not going to use my newfound knowledge for a good cause; I'm trying to hack into my dad's password-protected admin account from my limited account because the parental controls he set up on my account won't even let me save any pictures. I think it's ridiculous.) but I figured it was worth a shot. The title is pretty self-explanatory...I just need to know how to paste this certain executive file I copied into the System 32 panel. Let's hope this works so I can finally download Skype without the constant inquiring of my dad's admin password!
