Why does the folder "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements" open automatically when I start my PC?

Why does the folder "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements" open automatically when I start my PC? How do I adjust settings to stop this from happening?

Hi,
This folder is probably treated as a program to run at startup.
So you will have to look at the places where such programs are referenced.
For instance, you may have a shortcut to that folder in your Start Menu > Startup.
Or it may be in the Registry.
Click on Start >  Execute, the type msconfig and click OK.
This will show you in the Startup tab all the programs launched at startup.

  • ITunes Update attempt: "The folder path 'Program Files' contains an invalid character"

    How can I install the latest version when I get this message : "The folder path 'Program Files' contains an invalid character"? The message appears when I try to install the update and it appears when I try to uninstall the previous version. The instructions for manual uninstall says to use the Control Panel Uninstall Programs first and then "clean up" -- but I can't use the Control Panel Uninstall. I am running iTunes from an external drive. What to do?

    That's normally produced by a damaged iTunes.msi. The basic treatment for it is given in the following user tip:
    ["not a valid short file name" and "invalid character" install errors|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2368028]
    ... but since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Downloads Center, things have grown more difficult. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now start with *step 4* from the user tip, and proceed from there.
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • The application, C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\Photoshop.exe, generated an application error The error occurred on 10/01/2009 @ 11:31:59.964 The exception generated was c0000005 at address 7C81BD02 (ntdll!ExpInterlockedPopEntrySListFault)

    Hi,
    I get this error randomly when i run my VB 6.0 application which calls Photoshop CS2 actions. I went through many forums, but could not manage to get the right solution for this.

    I see this sort of error notice in Bridge and Photoshop, preceded by the message " Photoshop (or Bridge) has encountered a problem and must close. Tell MS.
    Yes or No."
    It most frequently happens in PS when running Dfine 2.0. I have no clue what triggers the Bridge closure. It happens randomly.
    CS3, so nobody gives a tinkers dam, I suppose.
    I see this kind of message in software testing on a regular basis. Of course, when the test is under way, the software is generating a detailed log file which we package up as part of a bug report. Then at the bug scrubs, lively discussions ensue as to who has to fix what!
    I can only image what would happen if the Dfine people and the PS people had to sit through one of those!

  • Error Message:The folder path 'Program Files' contains an invalid character

    I have an 80G iPod. I never had a problem with the itunes program until I switched to Vista. When I try to open iTunes I get the following error message:
    *The folder path 'Program Files' contains an invalid character*
    I have itunes installed on both my HP and on an external hard drive that I use as my backup in case something goes wrong. Neither one opens and I get the same error message on both. I have tried to uninstall iTunes and then reinstall and get the same message so I can't uninstall.
    I'm really frustrated, I need to get to my music for a huge presentation in a few days. Can anyone help?

  • Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does?

    Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does? I'll have to turn the wifi off and back on multiple times to get the internet to continue to work on my Macbook Pro (running mountain lion but did it on lion also) when it runs fine on my old white Macbook (running lion). Is there something I can do to fix it or do I just have to deal with it?

    Here is your fix .. I have uploaded my properly calibrated profile get it here :
    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YAJL6A9X
    And it should go to your user folder/Library/ColorSync/Profiles
    if you have one already you can rename either one ..
    and then go to system preferences - displays - color to select the profile .
    you will get rid of the blue tint while keeping correct color and gamma
    This is for the newer 2010 MBP's altho if same display was used might also give good results in the previous models as well . .

  • Why does the folder structure in RH not reflect what is in Windows Explorer?

    Does anyone know why when I create a folder in the RoboHelp
    project e.g. "Job Aids" using Windows Explorer and store Word docs
    in it, that I am unable see that particular folder and its contents
    within RoboHelp's Project Manager?
    Thanks

    I'm by no means an expert...
    You should create a folder through the RH interface not
    Explorer. That way the folder will be registered with the fpj file
    that determines what files/folders to display.
    It's not wise to perform 'covert' file ops in RH...use the
    interface whenever possible.
    FYI, even if RH does display the folder you create, I highly
    doubt it will display the word docs within it. Maybe they should be
    baggage files instead...

  • Why does the "Simulation Model Converter" create a 1-D array when a subsystem is converted

    Hi,
    I want to convert a complex Simulink Simulation with many subsystems into LabVIEW VI. One Problem I have is the one in the subject. I attached a simple example Simulink file and the result of the "Simulation Model Converter" where my problem occurs. 
    In this example I have two equal block diagrams, with the differnce, that the one below uses a subsystem (that only contains a gain). But why is the data inside the sub system a 1D array? Is that necessary? If I change the array by hand into a normal constant, the simulation still works. Is there a way to prevent this wrong conversion.
    Thank you

    Hello Talvi,
    I am guessing that you do not have Simulink installed on the computer where you are doing the conversion.  If you do the conversion on a computer where Simulink is installed, you will get better results.  This is mentioned in the help topic: Using the Simulation Model Converter.  If you are still having trouble, can you please let us know which versions of the software involved you are using?

  • Why does a link to zip file on server open a blank web page?

    Using CS6, I created this page:  J & B Computers - Projects I've uploaded 2 zip files and linked them from this page with this code:  <a href="Zip Files/CheckIPApp.zip" target="_blank">Download a zip file of the IP Checking utility</a> When this link is clicked, it opens up a blank tab instead of prompting for a download. I've tried it with and without the target=blank, I've also tried target=new... I've tried it in Chrome and Firefox. I've tried it on different computers. I've searched for an answer for hours...  what the heck is going on? I want the link to open up the save/download box and it just won't... TIA if you have a resolution!

    Since it's a file download, there's no reason to add the target="_blank", I'm guessing your file is 404 for some reason which would give you a blank window per the target.
    Make sure the case structure of the file and link are identical. Servers are case sensitive, a server sees CheckIPApp.zip and checkIPApp.zip as totally different files. Your local OS sees them as the same thing so during local testing it will work, when uploaded, it won't.
    Make sure you've loaded the file onto the server at the exact location specified by the link. It should be in a folder called "Zip Files" that resides on the same directory level as the page that the link is on.
    You may also want to normalize your file names. They should be all lower case alpha-numerics without any spaces (use hyphens or underscores instead) and without special characters ($%&*). You can use DW's Files window to change names and DW will fix the links automatically.

  • Why does the "You need to restart your computer" error appear when I open Vuze?

    Hi there,
    I apologise that this has probably been asked many times however none of the relevant threads I have come across solved my issue.
    I have the most current version of Vuze and a Macbook Pro (Version 10.6.8 OS X).
    After using Vuze for a year with zero issues, today I have had to restart my MBP several times due to this error message which is displayed in 5 different languages: "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button until it turns off, then press the Power button again."
    This error only occurs when Vuze is open.
    No idea why this is the case. Could it perhaps be a file I am downloading?
    Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you for your time.

    Don't unplug the M-box while your MBP is on.
