All programs .lnk - nothing works by nishnoshnish
I just recently tried to open "my computer", however it wouldn't open. Trying to get it to open, I right click on it and press "show on desktop". This put a file onto the desktop that i didn't want so I deleted it. This is where everything went wrong. All the start menu icons disappeared, then a bit later all files on my computer changed to .lnk files except the folders. If i go to the properties...

DACLs for offline files by Ryjek Blady
Is there a way to retrieve DACLs for offline files (client-side cached) when the client is not connected to the server? When I call GetSecurityInfo or GetNamedSecurityInfo for such files, the call returns ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED (50). Similarly, those files have no "Security" tab in the Properties dialog. I looked at the Offline Files COM APIs...

How to get files out of subfolders? by anh
Two file management situations I'd like help with: 1) I have dozens of files in many subfolders within a particular folder. I'd like to get the files out of those subfolders and put them all in the root folder without having to go into each folder and move them myself, but I can't quite see how to do that in Windows Explorer. Does anyone know a smart way to do this? 2) A similar case that...

Cannot delete file..Zero Bytes? by cohack11
Hello, I have a file on my desktop named Fitzgerald -. I do not know where it came from. This is no surprise given that my daughter uses the PC under my login from time to time. The file size is 0 bytes. The properties security tab says "The requested security information is either unavailable or cannot be displayed". The attributes info is "A" (don't know what that means). I can move...

Can't create New Folders on Desktop by Daydream
Hi, When I right-click on the desktop or within the Documents Folder (or similar folders), I no longer have the option to create a "New Folder". When I choose the "New" option, it reads "empty". I saw someone had a similar problem on here and they were given a registry fix to download and merge, which I did, but it did not help me. When I am in the Documents Folder, I do have the "Organize"...

Desktop.ini Files by Wandering Flame
The threads I've searched were more than 371 days old so I couldn't revive them. Yeah I had a question about this... These files, basically, their only function is to tell a folder HOW to display icons, meaning in what view/what icon, to display them as? In other words, deleting a desktop.ini file does not remove, for instance, selectable folder icons, because it only tells a folder HOW to
