Programs Can't Write To Dat Files?
Oct 25, 2012
I have some programs that need to write to DAT files located in the -->AppDataRoaming directories for each specific program but when they want to make these writes they are denied access and an Access is denied error message is returned (see attachment). I'm using Windows7. Anyone know what I can do to rectify this?

I am in need of assistance. I have a batch file that runs nightly to restart machines in a specified list (restartmelist.txt) which works flawlessly. What I am looking to do, is have another file (restartmenames.txt) with a list of usernames, so when I look at the results file, I can not only see the results from each machine, but also whose machine it is. The names correlate in order with the machines. So restartmelist.txt looks like this:
MACHINE1
MACHINE2
MACHINE3
And restartmenames.txt looks like this:
Bob Lastname
Bill Lastname
Jason Lastname
Right now, my log-file writes like this:
.Machine1
.Machine2
.Machine3
What I would like to see, is this:
.Machine1 (Bob Lastname)
.Machine2 (Bill Lastname)
.Machine3 (Jason Lastname)
What I don't know how to do, is call that 2nd file to write the log entries, or if it's even possible. Here is what my code currently looks like:
Code :@ECHO OFFFOR /F "tokens=*" %%A IN ('TIME/T') DO SET Now=%%A>>c:scriptsRestartme.log 2>&1 Echo Restarting of machines STARTED on %date% @ %now%>>c:scriptsRestartme.log 2>&1 Echo.set _=c:scripts
estartmelist.txtfor /f %%i in (%_%) do (>>c:scriptsRestartme.log 2>&1 SHUTDOWN /r /m \%%i /t %1 /c "This machine is forcibly restarting in %1 seconds!" /f>>c:scriptsRestartme.log 2>&1 Echo . %%i)FOR /F "tokens=*" %%B IN ('TIME/T') DO SET NowDone=%%B>>c:scriptsRestartme.log 2>&1 Echo.>>c:scriptsRestartme.log 2>&1 Echo Restarting of machines COMPLETED on %date% @ %nowdone%>>c:scriptsRestartme.log 2>&1 Echo ------------------------------------------------------------------>>c:scriptsRestartme.log 2>&1 Echo.Copy c:scriptsRestartme.log \seaappsappslogfiles /y

I recently reformatted my hard disk and re-installed Windows 7, and when I try to edit any files in the subdirectories off any on the directories in the C:Program Files directory, I get 'protected' errors. I found that I could not create files or edit files anywhere below these directories.It turns out that everything in the Program Files folder and below is write protected. I tried changing one of the subfolder's properties and marked everything as Not Read-only, but I still couldn't create/edit files there.I was running Windows 7 before the hard disk crapped out, and I was able to modify the au3.propertied file with no problem.I know that Microsoft wants to put all data files in the C:User... directories, but the program I'm trying to change is AutoIt (SciTE), and I don't think here's a way to change the location of the properties files.I Googled in the Windows 7 support site and found a link to a video telling how to work around this. You have to change permissions of the parent folder and all files/folders below it.

I have my 2 PC's networked in a Homegroup. 1 is running Win 7 Home Premium 64, the other Win 7 Ultimate 32. I want to write to the Program Files folder on the 32 bit system from the Program Files (x86) folder on the 64 bit system. All other read/write operations between these 2 systems are succeeding. I have set up full permissions on both Program Files folders exactly as with other folders: Properties > Sharing > Advanced Sharing > Share this folder > Permissions > Full Control for "Everyone". I suspect UAC may be intervening. Is there any way to defeat this? My final objective is to automate synchronization between a few selected areas in these Program Files using my backup utility, SyncBackSE. It kept failing based on access denied, so I tried to drag & drop manually via windows explorer, and this is also not allowed. don't focus on questions about SyncBackSE - I am seeking help getting permission to move & change files via explorer.

So I just built a new gaming computer with the following relevant specs..- Win 7 Enterprise- 90GB OCZ Vertex 3 SSD- 750GB Hitachi Sata III, 7200RPM HDD- Games: World of Warcraft, Skyrim, Star WarsMy thought was to just save the OS and games on the SSD for best performance, and everything else on the HDD. I did that initially and only used about 50GB on the SSD.Since then I've downloaded many drivers, manuals, game mods, and programs (like Adobe, Logitech, etc), most of which just saved directly to the SSD without giving me the option of a different path? Now I have only 5GB left on my SSD and want to make sure I only keep the files/programs on it that will provide the best performance.n my SSD I have 4 files:Program Files - contains drivers (Asus mobo, DVD recorder, Mcafee, etc), IE, McAfee, Nvidia, and Windows files (Dfender, Media Player, etc)Program Files (x86) - contains many of the same files that the "Program Files" has in it??Users - My documents, Downloads, Desktop, etc...Windows - bunch of stuff that looks like it needs to be thereQuestions:1) What kind of files/programs should I keep on my SSD vs. my HDD aside from the OS and games for best performance?2) I read in a thread here that "Program Files" folder is for programs designed for 64-bit, and the programs that go into "Program Files (x86)" folder are designed for 32-bit. But, why are things duplicated in them, and why (even as an Admin) can't I delete files off them (tells me I don't have permission)? Do I really need files in both of them if I'm running at 64 bit??3) I'm often not given a choice on where to save downloaded programs.How do I set it up so all my downloaded programs save to my HDD moving forward?

Ive done a clean install, and i previously backed up my Vaio. When i try to restore programs however, it wont let me do it. It says "your files have been restored" but also says " some program or system files were skipped because they cannot be restored to original location. To restore these files, try restoring the files again and select a different location." Which location do i chose so that the programs appear in my "all programs" tab?

I've run across a weird error that is making me bang my head against the wall.. I am running windows professional x64
I cannot seem to start any x86 programs from their shortcuts, or exe files. The problem exists in both regular and safe mode. When I click the exe or shortcut, the process comes up in the task bar using a tiny amount of memory (~100K) and just sits there.
I CAN run any program from cmd using the start command (start path o.exe), and I also can run any x64 programs that I have installed. I have tried sfc /scannnow and chkdsk /r.
Also, if I add a program to the startup list (registry or startup folder) it starts up fine on boot.

When I click on the Windows icon in the lower left corner of my screen, a menu opens. At the bottom of that menu is a line that says "all programs". It opens into a menu of programs on my machine.
Inside of "all programs" is listed a folder called Microsoft. Inside of it is Outlook 2010.
However, I recently wanted to send an email using Outlook 2010 by clicking on a link on a website. A window opened that would allow me to select the email client I wanted to use from a list of programs. But I can't find Outlook 2010.
When I click the Windows icon in the lower left corner of my screen & then on "computer" and then on C drive, there is listed in C drive two folders, Programs & Programs (x86). However, the Microsoft folder containing Outlook 2010 is not in either one of them.
When I did a search for Outlook 2010 on my C drive, the result said it can be found at C:ProgramDataMicrosoftStart MenuProgramsMicrosoft Office
However, I cick the Windows icon in the lower left corner of my screen & then on "computer" and then on C drive, I cannot find a ProgramData directory. So, where is my Ourlook 2010?

I was recently having some bad video driver issues (getting frequent BSODs after updating to the latest drivers for my 560 Ti), so I did a system restore. After the restore, I'm not having any problems with that, but a new one has popped up: opening any photo or video file in Windows Photo Viewer, VLC, or MPC-HC takes a while. There's a 10-15 second delay. In the case of Windows Photo Viewer, it doesn't open the program until then. With VLC and MPC-HC, the program opens but it takes that long to load the file. I've tried this on two separate hard drives, and opening the files with other programs (such as opening a local image file using Chrome) doesn't have the same delay. I've rebooted my computer several times, rebuilt my icon cache (which has fixed some similar bugs for me before), and checked that I didn't have an issue with color calibration (which reportedly slows down Windows Photo Viewer). Scanning with MSE turned up nothing. I can't do a system restore to any other point since this was the only one before I installed the new video card drivers that gave me even worse trouble.

Starting last night, Google Chrome was taking longer than usual to open webpages. Now under an hour ago, other applications and files take up to 10 seconds to open. My laptop is running fine now because I restarted. I ran CCleaner to clean out my history, cookies, etc. I also ran scans with Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes, both found nothing. I did not install any software or make any hardware changes.

After cleaning up from a bunch of bad viruses all of my files were hidden. I followed the directions from another thread to unhide them and recovered my photos and documents, but there are still some things wrong. My video clips will not play, and when I search for Windows Media Player there are no results. I went to the of control panel and add/remove programs, turn windows features on/off, and the box for Media Player is clear. How can I find it?

Got a New Windows 7 machine about two months ago. Recently discovered about a week ago that the only thing that will actually run is Internet Explorer 64 Bit. Ive bootedd into Safe Mode (with Networking and Non Networking options) and had the same results.I dont think I have a virus but as I cannot run any programs I cannot check. I think that this is some sort of Windows Error. Ive tried to use the In Built 'Startup Repair' and also the 'Memory Diagnostic' Tools, which have returned no errors.Also Ive tried, certain exex file registry fixes which are out there, and these dont work. I have some Excel files on my desktop which which I click them I get the following Error 'There was a problem sending the command to the program'I have not got any restore points which go back far enough before this issue. Also do not have the CD.

I upgraded to 64 bit from a 32 bit machine months ago. Even though I have Tools/Options set to have downloads go directly to Program Files, I've discovered that my downloads are going to the old Program Files (x86) folder, e.g., I just download Secunia PSI and when opened in Program Files, the old version was there but the new version 3.0 is in PF (x86). I tried to cut and paste it to PF but it didn't work. I have a download Firefox extension, Download Status Bar, that I really like; it works great.I know that some programs in 64 bit need the old 32 bit version trom PF (x86) to work but I'd like to delete PF (x86).
