ADE insists on making another My Documents folder on my machine

I have to have Adobe Digital Editions to download e-books from my local library system. However, the program is doing something that is driving me crazy. It insists on making a new My Documents folder (with a My Digital Editions subfolder) when it installs. It is very confusing to have two My Documents folders on my desktop. I tried moving the My Digital Editions folder to the My Documents of my choice, uninstalling and then reinstalling the program, but ADE keeps recreating a second My Documents folder.
Is there any way to install ADE without this annoying duplication??
I have read the thread about how the program does not let you move the My Digital Editions folder and I echo the sentiments of all of the users who said that ADE should let the *user* dictate where his/her e-books are stored, not the program. I am using ADE 1.7.2.1131 on a Windows 7 64 bit system.

In a word: no.
And I'm onw of those who is very frustrated by this.

  • Synchronise documents folder between two machines

    I would like to keep the documents and pictures folders of my MacMini and my MBA in synch. How can I do this?

    rsync --recursive --times --owner --progress --checksum --delete --dry-run --itemize-changes ~/ORG/ ~/BACKUP should do the job.
    This will show what would be transfered (--dry-run and --itemize-changes) by synchronizing everything inside the ORG folder (notice the trailing forward-slash) recursively (--recursive) to the BACKUP folder by comparing files based on checksum (--checksum).
    Remove the --checksum option if you want files to be synchronized--much faster--based on modification time and size.
    Remove --dry-run for the actual transfer.
    man rsync for more information.

  • Final Cut Pro Documents Folder

    Hi,
    I have been happily using Final Cut Pro for a while now. However, the one thing that has always ****** me off is that god **** "Final Cut Pro Documents" folder that keeps on saving itself in my "Documents" folder. I do not understand why this is happening, seeing as I have a separate drive that is set as my scratch disk. However FCP insists on planting a folder right in the middle of my "Documents" folder on my main drive. I cannot get rid of this folder either, every time i move it or delete it, it just keeps coming back. The most irritating part is that the folder does not even have any contents.
    I had a similar problem with microsoft saving a similar folder in my "Documents" folder. However, I was able to move that one rather easily.
    So, does anyone know where I can move this folder so that it will stop recreating itself in my "Documents" folder.
    Please help,
    Tyler

    Everything is working properly, and there is another FCP Documents folder on my second drive (Scratch Disk)
    Is your scratch disk set to your primary drive?
    I think the only reason it is creating this folder is b/c my scratch drive is set to my secondary drive and it wants to have the FCPD folder on my primary incase my secondary is not available.
    So i want to know if i can move this folder and keep it moved.

  • How do I unlock My Documents folder in the hard-drive with another PC?

    I have a 3000 series j100 desktop, 3 days ago restarted on its own and can't boot anymore, no keyboard, no mouse and no monitor signal sent from the pc.
    I took the drive out and use it as an external drive to my laptop, but it asks for a password before I can access My Documents folder.
    I believe it's the windows xp login password that's needed, but there's no field on that pop-up box to enter any password it asks.
    I know my windows login password, but I don't know if that's what really needed and how to use it to unlock the folder.
    Is there another way to access the folder, or do I need to get the computer working again to access the folder in the drive?
    I also do have some encrypted files inside My Documents folder that I created with windows when the pc was working.
    The encryption comes along with windows xp. When you right-click a file, you choose properties and advance option then apply the encryption, then the file name turns color to green.
    Could it be the reason I can't access My Documents folder in the drive with another pc?
    Please help, I need to know if I need to do a recovery job or is there an easy way to access My Documents folder in the drive with another computer.

  • Double up of my document folder If I click on my Documents in finder it then opens another selection of folders including yet another documents folder which if this one is clicked on the folder is repeated yet again this does not appear to be correct help

    I believe I have  a problem when opening up my documents in finder. where upon I can view all my folders but with yet another Documents folder within this group, if I then click on this second Documents folder yet again a repeat  of the do'cs  folder appears. I have tried to merge the Documents folders into one but after a morning and a few hours later having completed the merge when I reopened the folders the problem was still there. Help.

  • Saving to Windows Phone Documents Folder

    Greetings,
    I tried to look through the forum but could not find anything on saving to the Windows Phone Documents folder. From what I researched online on the Windows Phone 8 it was not possible to do this as Microsoft had blocked the ability to do this due to security
    reasons. But on the 8.1 release they allowed this area to be accessed by third party apps. Is this correct?
    If so how do I go abouts saving to the documents folder. Basically my app is really simple I just input a couple of words into different text boxes and that should save to a text file. How do I go abouts doing this.
    I tried doing this
    StorageFolder local = KnownFolders.DocumentsLibrary;
    However, when I run it the program stops at this spot:
    #if DEBUG && !DISABLE_XAML_GENERATED_BREAK_ON_UNHANDLED_EXCEPTION
                UnhandledException += (sender, e) =>
                    if
    (global::System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached) global::System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break();
    #endif
    What am I doing wrong. Thank you in advanced!!

  • Move Documents folder to an other partition or drive.

    Hello,
    I want to move some user folders, like Documents, images, music, video and downloads folders, to an other partition or drive. I am using Mac OS X 10.5.2. I would like to move only those folders and not all the Home user folder.
    I would appreciate a lot all the help you could give me. Thank you for your time,
    Marcelo.

    If you move all those folders there won't be much left in your home folder so it might be easier to move the entire home directory. But if you insist you can do this by creating symbolic links.
    here are the steps for moving the Documents folder. the rest are handled similarly. (I would advise you to first try them on a test user account).
    1. Run the following commands in terminal
    *cp -Rp ~/Documents /Volumes/"diskname"*
    Put the name of the disk you are moving it to instead of diskname in the above
    2. make sure that everything copied correctly and run
    *chmod -R -N ~/Documents*
    3. next, delete the original documents folder:
    *rm -rf ~/Documents*
    4. And finally, create a symbolic link.
    *ln -s /Volumes/"diskname"/Documents ~/Documents*
    again, put the name of the disk you moved Documents to in the above.
    I believe, that covers it.
    Message was edited by: V.K.
    P.S. i believe you'll loose the special system icons on the Documents folder when you do this so you might want to copy that icon and paste it onto the folder /Volumes/"diskname"/Documents before deleting the original Documents folder.

  • Folder redirection configured in GPO does not create Documents folder and does not redirect

    Hi
    Another Folder Redirect-post - sorry for that, but I could not find an answer for my problem so far: even with consulting many threads here...
    We have an existing environment under Windows XP and want to move away from that. Now I ran into troubles with folder redirection...
    The following folder- and permission structure exists so far:
    \\<server>\<Users$-share>: This is the base folder for all users-directories
    -> Permissions: SYSTEM: Full / Administrators: Full / Users: Read&Execute, only this folder
    -> Share-permissions: Authenticated users: Full control
    \\<server>\<Users$-share>\<username>: base folder for the specific user
    -> Permissions: SYSTEM: Full / Administrators: Full / User: Change, all permissions inherited onwards
    -> Giving only change permission prevent further problems with self-called "advanced users"... ;-)
    \\<server>\<Users$-share>\<username>\profil.V2: Profile directory of the user
    -> Of course here the permissions are set by the system: override the predefined permission
    \\<server>\<Users$-share>\<username>\daten: Atcual Home directory of the user
    \\<server>\<Users$-share>\<username>\daten\Documents: Suposed Documents directory of the user
    Now I am going to Server 2012 and Windows 8.1, configured the GPO to redirect Documents folder into the above mentioned:
    GPO - User configuration - Policies - Windows settings - Folder Redirection - Documents:
    Setting: Standart - redirects all folders to the same path
    Destination folder: Copy to base directory of the user
    I apply policy to the user, log out and in - it doesn't work, no folder Documents created in my home-folder, Folder Documents still configured at C:\Users\<user>\Documents
    A very special point:
    I also do Redirection of the My Pictures-folder: Define it to follow the Documents folder. Funnily that one works and creates and configures \\<server>\<Users$-share>\<username>\daten\Pictures
    -> So in my eyes, it should work!
    Then: I want to do the folder redirection without Offline Files, due to the fact, that our users work with dynamically assigned virtual desktops, which are been cleaned everytime a user logs off a machine. Therefore synchronizing doesn't make sense...
    I just cannot see, why this redirection does not work :-(
    Thank you very much for any help!
    Kind regards
    David

    Hi David,
    Before going further, would you please let me confirm the OS version of the Windows Server which you used to
    configure folder redirection? Based on your description, did you mean that those users (who will be applied folder redirection settings) logged on Windows XP client computer?
    When you configure the folder redirection setting in Document Properties (path:
    User Configuration-> Policies-> Windows Settings-> Folder Redirection-> Documents), please check if you checked “Also apply redirection policy to Windows 2000, Windows 2000 Server, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 operating system” in Settings
    tab. As below picture shows.
    à
    GPO - User configuration - Policies - Windows settings - Folder Redirection - Documents:
    à•Setting: Standart
    - redirects all folders to the same path
    à•Destination
    folder: Copy to base directory of the user
    Would you please provide a screenshot of those settings you describe? Meanwhile, please summarily describe
    that how you configure. For example, where this GPO link to? Or any other. It will help me to understand clearly. Thanks for your understanding.
    In addition, please use
    gpresult command to check if the folder redirection group policy was really applied.
    If any update, please feel free to let me know.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,
    Justin Gu

  • Documents folder on dock

    I was trying to move a document from "Documents" to another folder and somehow I removed my documents folder from the Dock. I tried to fix it but only managed to remove the "Downloads" folder from the dock.
    How do I get those two folders back on the dock? I tried dragging the folders down to the dock, but that didn't work.
    Thanks.

    Open a Finder window. On the left, click on your User-name folder. Find the Documents/Downloads folder and drag it to the Dock. You need to put it not where the application Icons are, but past the line down near the Trash icon. You also need to drag the folder close to the bottom of the screen before it will stay (or close to the side of the screen if your dock is on the left or right).

  • Can't drop files from Downloads or Documents folder on the dock to any other Finder window

    I have been downloading some files and dragging/dropping them into another folder for the last 30 minutes or so. They're downloading to the default Downloads folder, and then I've been dragging them from that folder in the Dock, which opens like a fan, and dropping them into another folder (my Documents folder) in an open Finder window.
    All of a sudden, I can't drop files from the Downloads fan anywhere else. I also tested, and can't drop files from my Documents folder or my Screenshots folder, two other folders that are on the right side of my dock and open up like a fan.
    I can drag them, but when I hover over the folder that I want to drop them into, nothing happens. If I let go, they just stay in their original folder (the Downloads folder).
    So basically something happened with the folders on the right side of the dock that's not letting me drop the files anywhere else from the Dock. If I open the folders in their own Finder window, I can drag/drop just fine. It just won't let me do it from the Dock as I had been.
    Any ideas? I've tried restarting as well as sleeping/waking as I saw recommended on here, but no luck.

    Open Finder, press Option key, select Go > Library, open Preferences, delete com.apple.dock.plist and reboot

  • User cannot access redirected Documents folder, but can connect to share in Windows Explorer and access folder on server

    I am in the final stages of a cross-forest migration.  Users have Windows 7 workstations with redirected folders on a Windows Server 2012 box running in the old forest.  User accounts were not migrated.  The accounts in use have always
    been in the "new" forest.  One of our challenges was the large volume of data in redirected folders.  I made sure users in the target forest had continued to have access to their redirected folders in the old forest and robocopied
    the entire users share, copying the permissions with the files.  By doing incremental robocopies, we can get a final copy done now in about six hours.  The plan was simple: copy the files, do an incremental copy every night, on the night of the cutover
    change the folder redirection policy Documents path from
    \\oldserver\users\%USERNAME% to
    \\newserver\users\%USERNAME%. The policy is configured to NOT copy user files from the existing folder to the new redirected folder.  Everything was going well until I tested the policy change.  After the folder redirection policy is updated
    and applied, the user cannot access the private Documents folder.  For example, user Chester Tester logs on as ctester.  I open Windows Explorer and click the Documents shortcut.  I see one subfolder, which is subfolder of Public Documents. 
    So I can look at Public Documents but when I click on the Documents folder (Under the Documents library link) I get an access denied error.  Now for the kicker, if I open another Windows Explorer window and edit the address bar to
    \\newserver\users\ctester, I can navigate the Documents folder tree and see my thousands of documents. What the ....?
    I'm hoping this is something really simple to fix!
    TIA

    HI Vivian,
    Thank you for your reply.  Yes, the path in Group Policy Folder Redirection Root Path was updated to
    \\NEWSERVER\users.  I had planned to point this to the distributed file system, so the first used was actually
    \\domain\dfs\users.  To simplify things I have backed off to copying to just a normal share
    \\newserver\users. 
    We are using BASIC folder redirection and we create a folder for each user under the root path. 
    We did not want the policy to move content, as we were seeing users requiring 15-20 minute logon times  (or higher) after the policy is changed.
    Grant the User exclusive right to Documents - Disabled
    Move the contents of Documents to the new location - Disabled
    Related folder settings
    Video - Follow Documents
    Music - Follow Documents
    Pictures - Follow Documents
    Now when I change the folder redirection from old server to new server I now have TWO My Documents folders in the user's redirection folder on the server.  The redirected Documents points to an empty folder set.  The copied folders with all user
    data are there, but folder redirection refuses to recognize the original folder.
    I am looking at the full view of the folder, nothing hidden, so I'm wondering how a folder can have two subfolders with the exact same name.  For now, I just want the redirection to move from the old server to the new server properly.  I deleted
    the new My Documents folder, rebooted the user's workstation and tried again.  The behavior repeats itself, i.e., a new My Documents folder is always created when the redirection policy is changed from the old server to the new server.  The environment
    has about 1500 users with approximately 1.3TB of data in the redirected Documents folders.  OUCH!

  • I might have messed up my files and now have the big exclamation mark on a lot (but not all of my iphotos) My document folder was full of photos and I tried to organize it by putting it into a separate folder but now I can't see my photos :-( please help?

    Hi there, I have the same problem as I've read on some of the questions posted although the answers hasn't been much help to me with regards to the big exclamation mark on iphotos when I try to open my photos.  For some reason my photo files was stored in my document folder and you can imagine how that must have looked, very unorganized.  When I tried to move the photos from there to another file that is just for my photos.  Now I can't open them in iphotos and although I tried to undo my mistake it still doesn't want to work.. is there any way I can find all the images on my computer and fix my problem by storing them somewhere else without damaging the files?
    Please help me find all my photos as I would be shattered if I were to loose any...
    Thank you.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
    Regards

  • Contents in Documents Folder Suddenly Empty

    I'm a single user and I found that today my contents in documents folder suddenly empty. I also noticed that my free space doesn't have any change (the documents folder contents contain of thousands SVG, Ai, EPS, PSD, PNG, JPG, files).

    Tried recover through diskdrill (both quick scan and deep scan)
    BUT NOTHING FOUND what's in my documents folder.
    What would cause the contents of my "documents" folder to suddenly disappear?
    Right now I'm scanning my Mac if there's any virus. I'll update soon if I found any.

    There is not malware involved. It's extremely unlikely that you would have any Mac malware, though the scan may well turn up some Windows malware attached to e-mail messages or something similar.
    As to what the problem is, that's hard to say. One possibility is that you have somehow accidentally moved them to a different folder. Since Spotlight does not search everywhere and could be handicapped if something is wrong with the search indices, try searching for one file whose name you know with certainty using EasyFind.
    Unfortunately, whatever may have happened, if those files can no longer be found on your hard drive and cannot be found by data recovery tools, they are gone for good since you don't have any backups.

Maybe you are looking for
