Windows 8 - File History Create Restore Point?

Jan 11, 2013

Does file history also create a restore point?

It was nice to have that restore point to where is you blue screened you could reboot and restore to a recent, previous system state.

Doesn't really say anything in the file history settings page, and I'm curious.

Cannot Create New Folder Using File Explorer?

Aug 1, 2013

Since 2 days ago I've noticed that I cannot create a new folder with File Explorer by any way possible. Using the taskbar or the SHIFT + Ctrl + N. Even when saving projects with Save File as... and trying to use the "New Folder" text string button does not create any folder. Using CMD prompt or powershell all works well as with Total Commander which i only installed to see if it could create folders and it does. Other programs that auto create folders also works well (i.e. Foobar when transcoding to new unavailable folder). My Windows 8 Pro is original, it's a 4 month old install, I've not made any customizations, no registry hacks, Windows is bare apart from Classic Shell which i only use now as a custom button to go to start screen with the mouse. I also made a custom High Contrast Theme that i use at night or when eyes are a bit tired. It's 2 months old so it's there long before the problem.I've not installed any new programs in the last week apart from some updates from FileZilla, Foxit pdf and Notepad++.Last system update is COPICOM from 13 July.I followed this guide which as not resolved the problem: I cannot find a way to create a new folder in Windows 8. -

Batch File Utility To Create Ad-hoc Network

Feb 4, 2013

New Version (6/2/13)

- Changed name to Connec8
- Compiled as exe. This is for the sole purpose to force Administrator privileges on double click
- New icon
- Administrator privilege check on startup.
- Added option to restart the previous hotspot
- Implemented an easier way to enable Internet sharing
- Added blank lines for better readability

Download (dropbox) [URL] ....

Windows 8 is awesome. However it doesn't have the ability to create ad-hoc networks from Network and sharing center. The only way is to use netsh utility from CMD every time you want to start or stop your network. .

So I created a batch file to automate this process. All you have to do is to start it as administrator, follow the instructions and voila!. No need to open cmd again and again

This utility creates an adhoc network. You can use it for streaming Videos and Music or playing LAN games.

For Internet sharing aka Hotspot
Go to Network and Sharing Center –> Change adapter settings
Right click on the device which is connected to internet and select Proerties
Now, open Sharing tab, enable Allow other network users to connect through this computer’s Internet connection, and then choose the newly created ad-hoc connection from the list

Can Create System Restore Point From Batch File Or Powershell?

Nov 9, 2012

Since Windows 8 is not creating System Restore points, apparently because I have a dual boot Windows 8 / Windows 7 setup, I'd like to schedule one every 3-4 days or so.

Is there any way to run system restore from Command line or batch file or Powershell? If so then I could schedule it to run when I want.

When Create File In C Drive It Throws Access Violation Error?

Mar 29, 2014

I am facing several weird problems in my Windows 8.1 installation. My first problem is that when I try to copy/create a file to my C: drive it throws an access violation error.

But this not the case if I copy/create a file in any of sub directories in C:. For example I can copy/create files to system32 or program files with any such problems.

My second problem is that I no longer get a popup when I connect a external HDD to my system. It doesn't even show up in "My Computer" I have to open up disk management and then assign a drive letter to the external HDD then only will it show up in File Explorer.

Maintenance :: Windows 7 File Recovery And File History Both Active?

Feb 9, 2013

I don't know how I did it but I got both Windows 7 File Recovery and Windows 8 File History active at the same time. I upgraded from Win 7 to 8 Pro and transferred settings so win 7 file recovery was already active, when I tried to turn on win 8 file recovery I got a message saying I cant because win 7 FR was active. So I deactivated win 7 FR then activated win 8 FR, for giggles I went back and turned on win 7 FR and it worked. Now I have both active, from what I have read this was not possible. Did I break my OS or am I just lucky?

Maintenance :: Windows 8.1 File History File Duplication?

Oct 30, 2013

In Windows 8.0 File History, it had the nasty habit of duplicating your library files on your backup ( in my case, my external USB backup drive ( Replica 2 Terabyte ). By DUPLICATING, I mean they get copied over and over and over again... This happens to ALL of them, even though you have not touched the majority of them for YEARS. (File History is suppose to copy them over the FIRST time, then copy a new copy with a new name (old name plus date) if you edit the file in any way). I turned of file indexing on ALL my drives, except my C: drive, to see if that would stop it ( this is recommended in many threads on other sites ).

Windows 8.1 - Have File Type At The End Of File Name?

May 14, 2014

Turned the PC on this morning and all my files (audio , picture and video) now have the file type at the end of the file name so instead of cars42 it reads cars42.mpg same for all other file types, Why?

Also, had 2 new desktop icons "Desktop.ini" which open in wordpad as some directory log. But now every folder now contains a desktop.ini file some have thumbs.db file. Also, "This PC" has several device driver icons appeared which are empty but ask for a disc to be inserted, they read ie: CF/MD (E and SM/xD (F, aswell as a G: and H: ...

I have not changed any file specs, it just appeared today. I have many thousand files and need them to be short for work, i don't want the added .mpg,.jpg, .mp3 etc added. Do i just system restore? How did this all happen though, Was it an update? Also, Another seperate issue my PC takes several minutes to shut down though this has happened for most of the time i've had this PC which is only 3 months.

Using Windows 8.1 on XPS 8700, how do i solve it? how to prevent it?

How To Create Ubuntu VM In Windows 8

Aug 23, 2014

I'm trying to create a virtual machine with Ubuntu in it.

I followed the instructions in this video step by step......and I have VM installed and running.

The problem comes when I try and go to the next step.

When I double click on the Ubuntu Icon in VM to start the Ubuntu install process, it should ask where the Ubuntu ISO file is, instead I get this message...

Here's my directory structure...

Virtual Box is installed in the 001 Virtual Box folder and the Ubuntu.vdi file is where you see it.

I've removed everything and repeated the process multiple times, but I always get the same result.

Apps / Software :: Set Compatibility On Exe File Regardless Of File Location

Jun 3, 2013

I have an issue running a program that is contained in a self extracting zip that is supposed to run automatically.

The SFX files unzips the contents to a folder on my hard disk (no problem), but then tries to run another program (installer.exe) that is located in the extracted folder.

The program fromm inside the SFX runs fine if I set the compatibility to XP manually, but the problem is that the the SFX extracts the files to a different location each time it is run.

Is there a global way to make a program (installer.exe) run in compatibility mode wherever it exists?

Accounts :: How To Create Windows 8 Account

Nov 16, 2013

Can I Remove User Accounts in Windows 8? - Windows 8 -

This is pretty insane because all I had to do was enter an email address; no name, no password, nothing. Now, all I have is an email address, and of course no name and no password. So, exactly how am I supposed to enter a name and password din SQL server, for the security to work, or whatever, when these things don't exist, and there's no way to create them.

I've been working on this project for weeks now, simply because every time I need to do something, I literally can't do what I need to do.

The REAL problem is that I have to use SQL Server to login to Windows. My Windows 8 works fine, and my SQL Server works fine, but they won't work together. That's the entire problem that I'm dealing with.
