Files With Invisible Filenames When Viewed As Thumbnails

Feb 5, 2007

I have a problemic glitch for a specific folder. This folder is called "Alicia Keys" and has two albums (folders) inside it "Song in A Minor" and "The Dairy of Alicia Keys". The glitch that I am refering to is when I viewed the two albums as thumbnails their filenames become invisible. Sure the usual performances occur, you can rename, delete and add folders, but every file inside "Alicia Keys" will have a invisible name.What is strange is the fact that this only occurs for the folder with this exact same path. C:Documents and Settings<User Name>My DocumentsMy MusicAlicia Keys.

I renamed that "Alicia Keys" to something else for eg. "Alicia Keys2" and the problem wasn't there - both albums revealed their filenames when viewed as thumbnails. I created another "Alicia Keys" and created a new folder inside it and the problem is the same. The new created folder does not reveal its filename (when viewed as a thumbnail as you should know). Completely invisible. This is really strange for me and I assume something in the registry has done this; just something for this exact same folder.Now i want to fix this problem because at the moment I'm organizing My Music with the proper format I want when viewing these folders with details and thumbnail views and whatever. Alicia Keys Certainly has become a real bother.

Invisible Files On Hard Drive: Ome Files In The Volume Wont Defragmented?

Dec 29, 2007

Now however, my hard drive seems to contain approx 13GB of data which I am unable to locate, even when viewing the "hidden files" option. I first noticed this increased used space when I wanted to defragment the hard drive and noticed that there was only 45% free space available (there is usually 75%).I have viewed the properties of all the folders on the C: drive and they do not add up to the 20GB shown on the C: drive properties...The defragment report states that "some files in the volume could not be defragmented"

Size Of Wmv Files Viewed Through TV

Aug 4, 2005

I've transferred some wmv files to DVD-RW and am considering putting them also on DVD-R so my DVD player can play them on my TV. Said files are broadband encoded with Windows Encoder 9.0 and run from 350x280 to 472x352 in size.My desktop gives me the option i.e. in Winamp, to double the screen size or go full screeen. Both are satisfying. But, when put into the home theater DVD player, will those 2x/full screen options be there? If not, what kind of picture size (percentage) can I expect to view on my 27" TV?

Page Can't Be Viewed

Sep 26, 2006

I'm not sure if security settings were changed, but, when you get the page that website can't open and it tells you the site might be having problems or, to check your security settings, well, I get this parital page on the top of some sites or side, where there's probably suppose to be advertising. I find it kind of distracting and would like to get rid of it. I can't find where my settings were changed, and what would have caused this.

Can USB Key Be Viewed Over Network?

Jun 10, 2010

I teach at a university. It's final test time. I keep some private files (tests, scores, etc.) on a USB key at work, and some old tests on my HDD. My computer is hard-wired into a static IP address. I also have a D-Link DIR-300 router in between (not sure if it even has a firewall). I was using my USB key today, and something odd happened.My most important files (tests) I keep locked-up with encryption software called Truecrypt, which requires me to enter a password to unlock a secret USB key partition. I had that folder open today, after working with it, and was sitting at my desk interviewing a student for about 10 minutes. Then I went to close out the encrypted drive (which appears as a HDD on My Computer after I enter a password to access it). That's when something odd happened. The message that popped-up basically said that some of the files on that drive were "in use" by 2 other processes, and if I closed it, then those other processes would lose out. That bugged me a bit, because I wondered just what processes were running in there? I have updated anti-virus software on that machine, and it wasn't doing a scan at the time. Usually the drive just closes-out with no warnings like this.

Then, later this afternoon, I left my computer on and went to class. It's set to sleep on its own after 30 minutes. It didn't. The screen was frozen at my wallpaper with no icons. I then tried to CTRL-ALT-DELETE, and another message popped-up that said (again, paraphrasing), "Two other users are accessing this machine. If you shut down now, the connection will be broken." So now I'm wondering. who the heck are these other users, and what's going on? I don't seem to be sharing anything on purpose. Is it possible that someone is sneaking around inside of my machine? I'm assuming network administrators at work can do this if they want. Do you think that's what was happening? The thing that bothers me about that is that they sometimes employ PT students to help with IT. Could a student have gotten access to my entire machine somehow? Again, my antivirus software is up-to-date (Microsoft Essentials), and I switched to a trial of Kaspersky 2011 after today just out of curiousity after this happened.

Folder Closes When Viewed

Aug 24, 2007

The Windows XP machine that my sister is using is having quite the issue. Whenever she views a folder in her My Pictures folder from Windows Explorer, in Photoshop, or when uploading to something onto the internet, it closes down. To be more specific, in the above three cases it closes Explorer (including the task bar), Photoshop, and the browser, depending on the method of viewing the pictures. It comes up with a submit error dialogue box, which along with the error logs don't seem to help me very much (unless you have a better understanding of them).The only changes I can account for was the instillation of one or two LAN remote viewing programs, although one of them runs as is (so wouldn't count as installing). Before that I uninstalled a lot of programs from that computer because I have this new Vista Ultimate machine and they said they didn't want all that "crap" on that computer anymore. I wouldn't blame them.

Hidding An Installed Program: Make Adware Invisible?

Feb 10, 2005

Let's say I want to make Adware invisible to anybody who uses my computer. Some real primitive answer is to delete it from the menu and also its shortcut icon. The problems is that you can still see it if you go to Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. Is there any way to make it invisible there and other places where it can be seen as installed? I've found tons of software to just "hide it away with a keystroke," like when you're trying to "hide it from your boss." In that case what you can do is just use Alt+Tab and Presto !

Jpg Thumbnails Don't Display Properly At First

Oct 24, 2007

After installing the software (which he has now uninstalled) that came with his new Canon camera. When he opens a folder of pictures (all jpgs) and his display default is set to "Thumbnails", he gets SMALL images (but not quite as small as "icons.") It also is VERY slow to display the images. If he changes the display to anything except thumbnail and then back to thumbnail, he gets the proper thumbnail size on all pics. If he just double clicks on the small image to open it and then closes it, all the images in the folder change to the correct thumbnail size.

Getting Invisible Styles In Font List / Unable To Delete Asian Fonts?

Dec 20, 2006

Somehow my daughter has gotten several of the Asian fonts on her computer. In Wordpad and WordPerfect they come up at the beginning of her font list as Arial Unicode MS, @MingLui, @NSimSun, @PMingLui and @SimSun. I have tried deleting them but they are write-protected.When you go to the font list the fonts are all there but many of them are invisible. I have tried uninstalling Office and reinstalling it but to no avail. I uninstalled it tonight but figured I would try and solve the deletion problem before reinstalling - in case they are connected.

Certain File Types - Thumbnails Not Showing Up In Explorer

Apr 30, 2009

I have win XP x64 Pro. I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 installed & Autodesk Design Review 2010 installed.In windows explorer I can't see PDF or DWF files as thumbnails, I just get an icon image. I can see JPG, AVI, WMV, etc. They all give me a thumbnail image that is correct. I tried reinstalling Adobe & Autodesk Design Review and still nothing. I did however catch something odd. If I open Adobe, then click open, and browse to a folder within Adobe, I can see thumbnails for all file types, PDF, DWF & JPG. The same for Design Review, I can browse from withint the program, and it all looks correct. It's REALLY slow to generate the thumbnails, but they do eventually appear. And once generated, it's cached and the next program snaps them right up.

Export File List In Same Order As Thumbnails?

May 26, 2008

When viewing files as thumbnails in Explorer I can manually rearrange them by simply dragging and dropping. Now they are not in any particular logical order (that is, not by Name or Date Created, etc.), *but* they are in the order I want them. And even when I close and reopen Explorer, as long as I stay in Thumbnails "mode" the files remain in the order I manually placed them.
Now here's the challenge: I have been unable to find a way to export a list of these files *in the order I put them*. There are lots of utilities (even the good old DOS DIR command) that make it possible to list files in various sort orders, but none that I have found that will list the files in the order I put their thumbnails.
