RFactor File Locations, Windows 7 Pro 64-bit?
Jan 22, 2012
I'm new to Windows 7, I was bought the OS for Christmas (Pro 64bit) and it's fantastic apart from one thing. I play rFactor (v1.25) and it works perfectly, installed no problem, full compatability and other than the file location of program files (x86) instead of program files on XP for the addons & patches I have had no problems... Until I went to set up my player profile and install my track setups. I don't exist! But rFactor finds the player profile of Chris when in game but no such folder on hard drive and no joy searching either. Is there a "secret" location Windows 7 sets up. I am set as the administrator, it allows me to move files onto main drive, but this is beginning to grate now.

I went thru this with Vista, don't remember what the solution was..when search for a file by typing file name (or partial file-name (or extension)) in search field in folder window.. the results don't tell you where the files arewhat is the purpose of a search functionality if results don't display file-locations???I think in Vista I was able to tell it what cols to display in results (and I think there was one that displayed locations.. why it doesn't default to this I cannot fathom, but well...;-) but don't see how to do this in Win7

I found a file named Index Locations under Searches in Windows 7. I thought it was rather long, so I deleted a section prior to January 2013. A box came up saying French could not be ????? but could be deleted permanently. clicked YES. Then I noticed that the number of icons on my desktop (where I keep most of my folders and files) appeared to have shrunk.Have I lost any folders and files and is there any way to retrieve them ??

I've set my icons to a certain size ( small) and placed in locations. After a restart they go back to medium size and line up on the left side of the screen

My hard drive contains a single partition covering the entire drive. I decided to divide the drive into two equal partitions using Computer Management/Storage/Disk Management. I learned that one or more unmovable files was located above the midpoint of the disk.Next I learned that if I know the location of the cluster or clusters I could copy these files to an external drive, reduce the existing partition and establish a new partition. At this time, I threw up my hands. I don't know the location(s) or how to find the locations.Can I actually accomplish my purpose within Windows or should I use a third-party partitioning utility?

I have Windows 7 Pro and I connect my laptop to many different customer networks. It does a nice job identifying the network and setting a default printer etc. However...
I have one customer with 15 cellular routers that I maintain. Each of them has a static LAN IP with DHCP turned off. As soon as I manually set the static IP Windows Identifies the network and I'm good. Then when I done I need to manually set the static IP back to DHCP. Is there any way for Windows to switch to a static IP that I assign when I plug into these routers?
or
Is there some third party software (free would be nice) that can do that?
My old IBM laptop had some software that did exactly that. I think it was called Access connections.
Any thoughts ideas or suggestions?

OS Version: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1, 64 bit
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2430M CPU @ 2.40GHz, Intel64 Family 6 Model 42
[Code].....
I'm working on Family Tree Maker, collecting photos from family, scanning them, saving, putting in FTM as I have time. Only, I'm missing some photos (and other documents) that I know I had.
I did a full back-up of my hard drive months ago, and I've been going through each back-up file looking for the photos and documents and slowly finding them in random locations, one at a time, but this is very time-consuming.
Before the problem I bought a new laptop and just hard the hard drive copied from my tower to the laptop. (Love the laptop, BTW!) I took the laptop back to the store to get my new wireless printer working. When I brought the laptop home I found a lot of games and programs were missing. Fortunately I was able to restore them from disks or if downloaded the sites allowed me to download them again. I called the store and told them the problem, suggesting maybe someone besides their tech has access to the computers in for repair, and they denied it and gave me the brush off. (BTW, I'm not going to do anymore business with them!)
I also use Picasa to add captions and descriptor words and I've been using that to look for items, but when something is found each one has to be checked against my laptops current folders to see if it's missing or not.
Is there an easier way to do find my missing stuff? How did my photos and documents get moved randomly?

How to I change the default save location of any saved file from C drive to D drive?How to delete current user and program folders on my C drive? Info:I am trying to tidy up my computer and need some assistance with default save locations.I have 2 drives, A 60gb SSD (c:drive) and 1TB standard HDD (d drive). I have my OS on the C drive. I currently have 12gigs of information between two default folders named programs and user. Also when I download, files automatically go to c drive/users/andrew, I get no say in the choice, I want all files going to D drive.All I want to do is remove them from my C drive and have the default locations for any file saved to be to the D drive. This is because I only want select programs, i.e the ones I use regularly to be be on the much faster SSD c drive.[CODE]

I have an HP Pavilion s3700f desktop, Windows 7 Home Premium OS, 64bit. I used to be able to move items to DOCUMENTS and/or DESKTOP by right-clicking the item with mouse, but now those locations have been replaced with Compressed (zipped)folder for some reason. I can't figure out how to get back my DOCUMENTS and DESKTOP locations.

I have a win 7 ultimate x64 box. I used to run XP. I loaded fresh on new drives, and installed the OS, some office and utils on drive C: as normal. I have 2 more drives, D: and E:, that I have installed about a terabyte of games/simulators on. I have installed these on both drives under program files folder. During install and setup of the OS, I turned off UAC because it was taking way to long to answer all the prompts to make sure this is what I wanted to do. So after done installing everything a week later, I flip UAC back on. Now I can't run anything without UAC kicking in and it does mess up some of my programs.
Should I just turn UAC off and leave it or do a reinstall, and put all my games on drive D and E in a folder called Games or something like that to prevent UAC from wearing me out. Other possibilities I was thinking of is renaming D: program files to d: games and do the same on drive E:, then find eplace anything in the registry from D: program files to D: games, do the same for E:. Would that work or would I wind up hosing my install?

I've been having a problem recently where some programs open up on the side of the screen, and I can't drag them over because I can't move my mouse there. It's been happening ever since I installed a custom skin. I uninstalled it and it still happens. The programs affected are Notepad and LogMeIn Hamachi.

I just purchased a new desktop computer system.I am using Windows 7.I'm trying to think how to describe this so that it makes sense.I am the only person who uses this computer. The staff member who transferred my data from my damaged computer to the new one apparently gave the computer my full first name and then gave my "nickname" the Admin role. Now I appear to have two My pictures and my documents in the library. My photos are scattered between the two My Pictures. When I save something to my pictures it doesn't end up where I expect it to be. It could be in either My Pictures.Not sure if that makes any sense at all to you ... I don't want two sets of pictures and two sets of documents.When I save a picture I want it to go to the same place every time unless I designate it somewhere else.Before I start deleting/moving anything I need to understand why my pictujres are going to one area sometimes and sometimes the other.

I have already setup a network between Windows 7 x64 Ultimate machines. However, I am adding more computers to the network and would like to select as to which computers can see a particular folder. The problem is that when I am trying to set the permissions and go to "Locations," the only computer listed is mine, even though the "Network" folder clearly lists three other computers. How can I get these computers to also appear in "Locations" so I can choose which ones to share my files with? Ideally I am trying to create a new user group that will consist of preselected computers.

I am having a problem with my Toshiba NB505 Netbook - running Windows 7 Starter. I can connect fine at home to wifi- and also at my local public library. However I was unable to connect at a motel I was at recently and had the same problem when I visited a different local library.To be more exact, I was able to connect ok at these 2 locations - but there was no internet access. From reading, I suspect a 'DNS' issue of some sort, but I don't know how to go about remedying it.

I am running Windows 7 64-bit on my main PC. I also have a fileserver running Fedora 9/Samba that houses all our documents, video, music, and pictures. I have mapped network drives to these locations. I have no issues at all accessing the remote shares, either through UNC path, or through the networked drives.
When I go to the indexing configuration, the mapped drives do not appear as a target to pick for indexing. Also, I can't add these folders to the respective library folders, because I get an error indicating that the location is not indexed. So I'm hoping that if I can index these locations, I can then add them to my library.

Using W7 home premium SP1. Everything is up to date, not running any virtual desktop, just a few widget type apps on my second display.
Sometimes when I do a restart or cold boot, some of my shortcuts have changed locations on the screen and I have to move them back to where I want them. I've never experienced this before until recently and I am looking for assistance on what is causing this.

I have a number of PCs connecting to a server where we house our personal folders. The server also houses music, basketball games, our photos, applications (like drivers and updates etc). On XP and vista I could update shell folders in registry to point each of the various locations (Like My Videos, My Documents, My Pictures etc), to a location on the server.
I updated the shell folder locations in registry only to find that it says location is unsupported because the network locations are not indexed
I have turned indexing off because it is a total waste of resources. We have everything stored on separate drives by category of item. For us, sedarching is not required, stuff is easy to find.
So how can I point the shell folders to a network location without turning on indexing?

In win 7 is it possible to configure a folder to save it contents across different locations? I want to drop stuff I modify frequently into a folder that will save it on two drives so the files are backed up in case one drive breaks. If not possible please suggest a work around.

i have just updated my media pc to Windows 7 with a new motherboard and now not only am i confused by the new share system but i have a problem access a shared folder.
my setup 1 main pc and one media pc (htpc) both are connected to a router via cables (not wireless). my aim was to put a shared folder on the htpc to transfer files to.
i can share a folder on the original/main pc and access it via the new/htpc pc. but i cant share something on the new pc and access it via the original. when ever i try i get a 'windows cannot access...' 'contact you network administrator' message. im assuming it has something to do with permissions. i have windows security enabled. no other firewalls or antivirus.

I installed Win 7 and if i try to open my computer of click on desktop and open up screen resolution etc. I get "Explorer.exe -Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." I did a search but could not find anything related to this error in Win 7. I have found some others attached to Win XP but have to do with the installation of some software which prevents access to explorer.exe. When I boot in safe mode this issue does not appear...

Setting it as service will be a good option as i can start and restart the service from command line.In windows XP I was using srvany.exe but that is not a good solution.

I'm on a network where I keep my files but I'm very aware of whether or not these might be open elsewhere. From time to time at any old time of the day (randomly it seems in other words) I'll go in and try to arrange, rename, or get rid of files and I'll get "The action can't be completed because the file is open in Windows Explorer. Close file and try again". Except that the file ISN'T open anywhere.

After doing a copy and paste, we have, on 3 occasions so far, found the copied data in an entirely different file. Twice data from a copy appeared in an excel spreadsheet and once a picture copied in facebook appeared in an email. The excel problem is very worrysome as it is our family budget. how this could happen? In the case of the excel events no paste operation was intentionally done.
