Return files that were manually removed from taskbar Jump Lists

On the jump list for Microsoft Word, on Windows 7, how can I make documents that I manually removed from the list come back? I right-clicked on the file and pressed "remove from this list" on accident - I was trying to pin it. Now I can't seem
to get it back. Any solutions?

Hi,
I would like to suggest you reset the Jump Lists to fix the issue. (Please Note: This will reset them all to be empty)
1 - Copy this entire next line:
           %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations
2 - Click Start, then paste it into the Search box and hit enter.
3 - Delete all the files in that folder.  As a best practice, just send them to your recycle bin so that you can restore them if you need to.
4 - Try pinning an item again.
You can also refer to the following KB:
Program icons that are pinned to the taskbar may be missing or be displayed incorrectly on Windows 7-based computers

Hope it works.

  • How to - delete physical files that have been removed from library

    Hello,
    I have recently purged my iTunes library from unwanted music tracks. However, most of those tracks were located in various folders on my harddisk, thus not managed by iTunes (not being on the "My Music\Itunes" folder).
    I would now like to somehow delete those files that are still on my harddisk. I've searched if there's a script around, but with no luck. What I'd like to do is to have a script that parses my library xml file, and that compares it with the files still present on the harddisk but not listed in iTunes, so that it either generates a list of files to delete, or automatically deletes those files.
    Once this will be done, I plan to move all my remaining music to a new HDD, but before doing that I will need to clean the mess.
    Thanks in advance for your hints!
    Max
    P.S. : I thought of making a new iTunes lib, to import all, and then to somehow run a diff program to remove duplicate items. Does that makes sense ?

    Don't know of any script to do this.
    If the songs are not in iTunes (you deleted them) and they are not in the iTunes music folder, you will need to search & delete them yourself.
    You could do a Windows search the HD for all music and sort by location (In Folder), then delete everything not in the iTunes music folder.
    Or move everything not in the iTunes folder to a folder on the desktop, then sort it out from there.

  • How can I restore files that were accidentally deleted from iCloud drive?

    I was making space to upgrade my iPad to the latest iOS 8 update, and while in settings>storage I mistakenly deleted Keynote presentations from iCloud rather than deleting Keynote and presentations temporarily from just the iPad itself. I'm desperate to get these back, but Time Machine is of no use when searching iCloud drive for previous files. Can anyone help??

    What did you do exactly? How did you delete the calendar?

  • HT4796 How can I take the files that were migrated from my PC to my Mac and add all those files to my current user instead of having 2 users?

    How can I take the files that were migrated from my PC to my Mac and add all those files to my current user instead of having 2 users? Having to log out just to sign in on a different user to access the files is absurd.
    Do I make all the files sharable to all the NOW users on the mac then just delete the files? Or can i erase my account that I made when starting up my new mac and then just use the one with the transferred files?
    I just dont want to have to og in and out of 2 different accounts .. Help please.         
    -Nina

    Sorry. /Users is a folder path. It would be similar to C:\Users (if that exists on Windows).
    So, in the Finder, select Computer from the Go menu.
    You'll see Macintosh HD, double-click that to open it.
    In there you'll see several folders. One is Users. That is where all the user Home folders exist. Select the other account's home folder and go to step 3.
    If you have any more confusion, please stop and ask. We'll get there.
    If you feel more comfortable, you can just log into that other account and move the files into /Users/Shared.
    Then, log into the account you wish to use and copy the files from the Shared folder and paste them into your Home folder, wherever they belong, Documents, Music, Pictures, etc.  That just takes a little more work. Transferring them into Shared, and then copying into your home sets the permissions on the files so that you won't have a problem accessing them later. The steps I provided just prevent you from having to do the double move, since you are not going to use the old account once you are done.
    Quick unix shorthand. If someone gives you a file path that begins with a /, that means the root of the hard drive, ie Macintosh HD (if you haven't renamed it). The path separator in unix is /, not \.
    A path that starts with ~/ means your Home folder, the one inside /Users named with your account name.

  • How do I recover a file of images I removed from LR 4.3 that is not found in my desktop recycle bin?

    How do I recover a file of images I removed from LR 4.3 that is not found in my desktop recycle bin?

    I would try the following, in order
    Have your operating system search your entire hard disk(s)
    If that doesn't find the files, restore from backup
    If you don't have backups then perhaps you should consider making backups of both your catalog file and your photos from now on
    Locate, download and install and run an "undelete utility" (freeware versions are available) -- if you are going to do this, do it immediately, do not perform other tasks on your comptuer

  • I replaced the original hdd in my early 2008 iMac.  I can't move my files that were backed up with Time Machine to my new hdd using Migration Assistant.  When prompted to select the "from drive", the ext. hhd does not appears as a selection. Please help!!

    I'd recommend staring over, Pondini has created an excellent guide on how to use Setup Assistant. I'd recommend begin reading Pondini Setup Assistant tips where he talks about "Second Chance." Assuming your Time Machine backup is sound the restore  should be very smooth.

  • I can no longer print PDF files that were scanned with the very same MX479 on Windows XP, SP3

    I can no longer print PDF files that were scanned with the very same MX479 All-in-One.
    I have an (obsolete) Windows XP, SP3 computer.  Obviously, no updates from Microsoft
    have occurred that might have impacted my Canon Pixma MX479.
    When I attempt to send 1 or more pages from a PDF file to the printer, I don't even get the
    Canon PIXMA popup that would allow me to cancel the print job.
    Yet the Print Queue icon appears in the lower right corner of my monitor.
    If I view the Print Queue, the print queue shows "spooling" and does nothing more.
    If I attempt to CANCEL the print job in the Print Queue, it simply changes to "deleting -
    spooling".
    I cannot cancel the print job that shows NOT RESPONDING via Task Manager, either.
    In fact, the only way the Print Queue icon disappears is if I totally reboot my computer!
    "Luckily", I can still print e-mails, Word documents, and even my downloaded PDF of my
    bank statement.
    So, I was thinking that it was *only* PIXMA'S OWN SCANNED PDFS that could not be
    printed ON THE SAME PIXMA 479.
    However, I have since realized that I also cannot print USPS Signature Proof of Delivery
    PDFs that I received from USPS via e-mail.
    So why can I print *some* PDF files, but not *all* PDF files, like I previously could do?
    THESE SCANS ARE OF LEGAL DOCUMENTS, SO I WILL LIKELY HAVE TO E-MAIL
    THE REQUISITE, PREVIOUSLY SCANNED PDFS TO FEDEX TO PAY FOR *THEM*
    TO PRINT THEM.
    NOTE: I *have* tried turning the PIXMA off, unplugging it, rebooting the computer, plugging
    the PIXM in and restarting the PIXMA - still no ability to print PIXMA-scanned PDFs.
    And, I find it very strange that e-mails, Word documents, and some other PDFs print with
    no problem "around" "NOT RESPONDING" PIXMA print jobs.
    I have owned Canon printers for years, including the MX420, and the MX340.

    There may be some security issues related to the USPS PDFs.

    I can't help with the scan/print problem. You seem to have done everything I would try.
    I don't know if maybe using a registry cleaner would help.

  • Can you recover files that were deleted?

    Hi everyone, is there anyway to find files that were deleted about 2-3 months ago? I don't have timeline and carbonite does not show the files either so they have to have been deleted over a month ago. I am a photographer and cannot find a clients session and I am afraid it was deleted...
    Thanks,

    Basics of File Recovery
    Files in Trash
    If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location.  OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
    If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone.  Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
    General File Recovery
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro.  Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.  Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk.  Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
    Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
    Unfortunately, after such a long time, if the drive has been in use then the space occupied by the deleted files has most likely been overwritten by new files making the old ones unrecoverable.

  • Script to search and relink linked image files that were moved?

    Good afternoon
    My indesign product catalog has links with a lot of different folders around in my hard disk, not a single folder. And to keep my catalog up to date I must package it.
    When I move my linked files in my computer because I change the folder structure or do some cleaning, my indd loses track of its linked files. Currently I need to relink one by one.
    Therefore I would like to find a script which would scan the hard disk with the all broken links in mind to detect their new location and relink. Yes I am a lazy person.
    Thanks for any clue,

    Thanks so much! I will try soonest.
    How does your script react in the unlikely case of duplicates?

    Subject: Script to search and relink linked image files that were moved?
    At least your honest about your laziness.... Here's your reward:
    Just a hint, don't select root of your volume, it will loop through every folder in existence, but key to this script is, if you know the general location, select into that folder hierarchy and the script will test for a relative path, otherwise, come back in a few days, and it will be finished.

  • Restoring files that were on an external disk

    Hi!
    Time machines does a backup of my Macbook Pro as well as of an external disk on which I keep multimedia files.
    Entering Time Machine, I'm able to retrieve files that were on my external disk no problem as long as the external disk in question is connected to the computer. Then, I'm able to go back in time, and search for files.
    However, if the external disk is currently not connected to the computer, then, when I access my Time Machine backup, I do not see this external disk listed (I see only my Macbook Pro folders), even when I go back in time. So I do not seem to be retreive files associated with this external disk.
    Is this normal?
    What if I loose my external disk, how will I be able to retrive the backup files from my Time Machine backup disk?
    Hope this is clear...  :-)
    Thanks

    Since you haven't got any replies so far here is what I would do, but don't know whether it would work. Worth a try.
    Connect the external drive and run a manual Time Machine (TM) backup. Disconnect the external drive. Pretend you have lost it
    Connect another GUID Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) format hard drive with a partition of the same size as the external drive and rename the partition to the same name as the external.
    Can you now see the TM backup of the external drive?

  • My desktop App for Story  has malfunctioned and I am no longer able to access the files that were on it, how do I save those documents and reinstall the app?

    I have a Story + desktop app for Adobe on my hard drive and it was supposed to sync up to my online app (or cloud) however it never did and now I cannot access my desktop app, nor the important files that were on it.
    __I.E. when I try to press the [Sign In] button, nothing happens.
    So I figured to find those files elsewhere, copy them somewhere safe then try re installing the app again.  However, I cannot find those files anywhere on my hard drive.

    Adobe Story stores its local files on the following location:
    On Windows,
    1. Open Windows Explorer and type '%appdata%' in the address bar
    2. Make a copy of 'com.adobe.AdobeStory.<some-number>' folder. This folder contains Story's local data.
    On Mac,
    1. Open Finder.
    2. From 'Go' Menu, open 'Go to folder'
    3. Type '~/Library/Preferences' and hit enter
    4. Make a copy of 'com.adobe.AdobeStory.<some-number>' folder. This folder contains Story's local data.

  • I recently thought I was updating my Safari browser. When completed, I put all those little files that were on the desktop into the trash. Now my trash is saying it can't be emptied because there are locked files and I don't know how to unlock them

    I recently thought I was updating my Safari browser. When completed, I put all those little files that were on the desktop into the trash. Now my trash is saying it can't be emptied because there are locked files and I don't know how to unlock them or get them out of my trash and they keep multiplying. And to make matters worse, I tried renaming them as pdf files thinking that might do the trick.

    oh boy ! I'd ask you if you knew what kind of files they were or where they came from, but I don't think you could help me a bunch. Try going to the Utilities folder and running Disk Utilities.  If you want to empty the Trash and it won't empty, go to the finder and choose "secure Empty trash". Worse case scenario-you may have to reinstall Snow Leopard, but I don't know what else to suggest. If you have a DVD of Snow Leopard, boot up from that,  and reinstall the OS. This will not touch the stuff you have on your Hard Drive, then you can update from 10.6 to 10.6.8, otherwise Onyx? Maybe those files are part of the OS which needs them to keep running.  if you hold down the Shift key on reboot, you can reboot in Safe mode and maybe you can take the files out of the trash that way
    good luck

  • Is there a way to combine multiple files that were scanned individually into one?*

    Is there a way to combine multiple files that were scanned individually into one?*

    Assuming the scans are all PDFs, here is one easy way:
    Open the first PDF in Preview.
    Duplicate (File > Duplicate) if you want to preserve the original.
    Choose View > Contact Sheet.
    Drag and drop the other files from the Finder into the Contact Sheet window. You can select the files one at a time or multiple files at once.
    Arrange the contact sheet icons in the desired order.
    Save.
