Hi, Matt. Jane C. Does this KB article help? Thank you for replying. I have full administrative rights. I am logged in under administrator. Do I need to change to show hidden file? This does not just happen in Word. It has happened in Excel too. That fixed my problem. Please know that you are the first one that I have came found that fixed it! Way to go.
There are a lot of people that cant figure this one out. I spoke to soon Ronnie Vernon MVP. Mlsoup Here is another article you can try. Hi mlsoup, The good news is that you are not the only one experiencing this problem. The bad news is that I am also at a loss as to how to fix it. I am experiencing this on a brand new PC, running Vista home premium, and Office When using Winows explorer, I can navigate to a file, see the whole path, only to get an error saying the path is invalid.
This happens in both Word and Excel. Rightclicking and using "open with" launches the application as a shell, without a document. You have access to see the folder but not the contents. Thank you for these useful tips, iv been trying to access pictures that iv lost for months, and iv finally been able to access them!! Right-click on the Documents Folder. Select Properties. Click Security tab.
Click Advanced in the lower right corner. In the Advanced Security Settings window that pops up, click on the Owner tab. Click Edit. Click Other users or groups. Click OK. Apply the settings. Then try accessing the Document folder. I wanted to just say thank you for this article. Solved my problem and all is well with the world once again.
What this means, as Nick pointed out, is that this default special permission setting prevents access no matter what other permissions are granted, but only to this one folder and you still have access to all sub-folders if you link directly to them. Always use the new path when setting directory paths within programs to prevent potential issues.
This dual method of access is to allow older applications a path to access the new folder locations in such a way that to the program it appears as if the files are in the correct location it expects, but without actually having two separate locations to enable this backward compatibility.
Right-click on the shortcut that you want access to. Click on the Security tab. You should now have the proper permissions to open the junction point as if it is a standard shortcut. If the above steps do not give you access you may need to add new allow permissions in order to gain access. Follow steps from above. In the list that will populate at the bottom of the window you will need to select a different option depending on what your intended outcome is.
Choose the most specific group that still allows your intended user s to have the permissions on the folder. You can look up what the various permissions do, but for most people you will want one of two choices. Overly long explanations I know, but a lot of these details seem to be hard to find in one spot on the net and often are not very clear to less advanced users. Hopefully you found the info useful. Would you know where the auto recovery files are kept for Excel, Word etc?
I tried the Advanced and the same reults. I try changing the Tools - Folder Options - Search setup for this folder and the results are all the same. Even partial names comes up. I've tried different combination and still the same, nothing. Search is broken in Windows Vista; trying to use it is like looking up a hog's butt for a ham sandwich.
I was frustrated enough that I thought I would have to write my own search program to get anything done at work, but I was too busy, so I broke down and BOUGHT some third-party software, paid for out of my own pocket, JUST so that I could actually find files on my work computer:.
Just to make sure I understand you correctly, are you initiating the search in Windows or in Outlook? Hi I am trying to find files by searching partial file names and Vista cannot find them.. Search can only find the file if you input the entire name of the file in the search box, meaning that the garbage indexer must have it included otherwise search would not find a thing to begin with. Is there a way to bypass this unreliable indexing tool and install a simple unfiltered search tool that will find items in search the way it has in every Windows Version prior to this abortion of a Search tool?
I work with 10s of thousands of graphics files in many Organized folders and need to be able to search using partial file names without restriction and without the worry of having to miss some files because Search is unreliable.
The majority of files I search for are tga, psd, jpg - all the typical image files and even though the folders are included in the indexing filters.. Thanks in advance for any input, and specially for a real fix. I have followed every single instruction and tech note and forum post I found on this subject and none fix this problem.
I have rebuilt the index file so many times I want to never see it again. Is there a way that Windows Vista Search can be made to work reliably and unrestricted?
As I said.. This thread is locked. Using my own XP laptop this is all very simple. All very simple. I spent an hour on the Msoft pages last night, trying to fix this problem, but got nowhere. What am I missing?
What is the easiest way to fix this? I just need to transfer some files from the XP desktop to the Vista laptop Thanks, that's the page I spent an hour with. Nothing on that page that I could find allowed me to share files with the XP machine.
Any other ideas? Within the File sharing settings, click Turn on file sharing, and then click Apply. Click Turn on sharing so anyone with network access can open, change, and create files. Click Apply. Within the Password protected sharing settings, click Turn on password protected sharing, and then click Apply.
Click Start, and then click Computer. In the Computer window, navigate to the folder containing the folder that you want to share. Right-click the folder that you want to share, and then click Share. The File Sharing window is displayed. If you have password protected sharing enabled, use the File Sharing window to select which users can access the shared folder and their permission level. To allow all users, select Everyone in the list of users. By default, the permission level for a selected user is Reader.
Users cannot change files or create new files in the share. To allow a user to change files or folders or create new files or folders, select Co-owner as the permission level.
Figure 5 shows an example of configuring users and permission levels in the File Sharing window. If you have password protected sharing disabled, use the File Sharing window to select the Guest or Everyone account. This is equivalent to simple file sharing in Windows XP. When complete, click Share, and then click Done. Thanks BD, I'll give that a try later on when my patience returns.
