If the error comes up as "Cannot create a file that already exists", it means the CSC folder is still there. Perhaps you deleted only the contents and left the empty folder? Ah! Correction: Sorry, the command I suggested was del , should have been rmdir to "remove directory". Try: rmdir /s /q %SystemRoot%\CSC Equally, you can do it in Windows Explorer by pointing to the \CSC folder, right click and select...

I recommend buying Second Copy , which makes it very easy to sync files to flash drives, other folders, other computers, etc. Some free alternatives are Karen's Replicator and Microsoft SyncToy .

Right, so you select a parent folder above them and perform the actions on the whole kit and kaboodle. If all those folders are not in a parent, put them in one. Glad I could help!

Hi Nosaj7, Welcome to Microsoft Windows 7 Answers Forum! 1.  Is it happening only on the facebook or other websites as well? 2.

Also I would suggest you to map the network drive where the files are stored and try to upload the files.

I'm sorry but I don't quite understand your post - Are you saying that you can't find the Color/Settings directory or that you found it but can't change anything in it? If the former, contact Adobe tech support to find out where this setting is in Windows 7. You could also post on the Adobe support forums.

It doesn't sounds good... if the trouble occurs that means that these applications are trying to change something inside that folder. Should they do this? I don't think so... System is protecting itself against something which may be harmful. You are administrator, but.. when you are running some applications or you are trying to change folder properties you are doing it as a User, not ...

When I installed Windows 7 I created seperate partitions for OS/program files & data. When I enabled Offline Files it stores those files on the smaller OS/program partition which is filling it quickly. How do I get Win 7 to store the Offline Files on the larger data partition?

So, why in Windows 7 has the ability to turn off Auto Arrange been removed apart from on the desktop? I find it highly annoying that I cannot arrange the files how I want to. Keeping files organised and having the option to is great but having it forced upon me is not! I keep the majority of my files in alphabetical order but there are certain files which I access regularly and would ...

Right click on the file or folder you want to access and select Properties then Security and add your user name and give it the level of control you want.
