Win7: Duplicate phone file folders in Explorer

Hi,
When using Windows 7 with it's native bluetooth stack + Ovi suite, you end up getting two file folders in the Explorer window:
First one is a native Windows 7 feature, second one came after Ovi installation.
Now while I really appreciate the folder Ovi featured (it's nicer, faster and everything), the situation with having two folders makes it at least cluttery.
Is there any possibility to remove the first folder?
(this question goes both to other users knowing the fix and to developers - in case they would be willing to code such hide-duplicate-icon feature in the upcoming release)
The problem described above has one more effect: when I use TotalCommander to browse my files and I want to connect to my phone, I'm given two choices (corresponding to the above options), but since name is the same, I cannot differentiate them and choose the faster-working one at entry:

Welcome to AD!
Is your new laptop Vista, and the older desktop XP?
If so, they have different paths to the default library.
On XP, it's c:\Documents and Settings\ username \My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
On Vista, it's C:\Users\ username \Music\iTunes\iTunes Music

PETITION: Show Duplicate Files In Media Explorer Like In iTu

No doubt that many of us have duplicate song files on our Zens.
It seems to me that since I can't see individual song files like I could under the old Media Explorer (before the Plays For Sure upgrade) it would be nice to see some sort of Duplicate Files searcher when the Zen is plugged in.

A possible source of your problems could be multiple tags. See My iTunes library and metadata/ID3 tags issue for some thoughts.
There is a danger that as you remove one of the redundant tags iTunes might read back the old data from another. It might pay to use my script ExportImport to backup the metadata first just in case.
If you want to make the filenames in Explorer match the tag properties then the script ConsolidateByMovingLong might help.

Programming help - how to get the read-only state of PDF file is windows explorer preview is ON?

Programming help - how to get the read-only state of PDF file is windows explorer preview is ON?
I'm developing an application where a file is need to be saved as pdf. But, if there is already a pdf file with same name in the specified directory, I wish to overwrite it. And in the overwrite case, read-only files should not be overwritten. If the duplicate(old) file is opened in windows (Win7) explorer preview, it is write protected. So, it should not be overwritten. I tried to get the '
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY' using MS API 'GetFileAttributes', but it didn't succeed. How Adobe marks the file as read-only for preview? Do I need to check some other attribute of the file?
Thanks!

Divya - I have done it in the past following these documents. Please read it and try it it will work.
Please read it in the following order since both are a continuation documents for the same purpose (it also contains how to change colors of row dynamically but I didnt do that part I just did the read_only part as your requirement)

Bizarre error when trying to open .fla files in Windows Explorer

"Windows cannot find '(path of the .fla file INCLUDING the filename)'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search." error message given when I click on any .fla file in Windows Explorer to open it in Flash 8 Pro (as I've ALWAYS done before). Flash opens but no file is opened in it. If I click the fla file a second time THEN it opens in Flash (which is already opened from the first attempt.). This never happened before. I have 2 more laptops that work fine (as did THIS Win XP-SP3 pc until about a week ago), ALL with Flash 8 Pro (1 laptop w/XP-SP3 - just like the main PC with the new 'problem'), 1 laptop w/Vista Ultimate SP2. Even compared registry entries from XP laptop side-by-side - no differences at all. Everything is literally 'word-for-word'. Also compared FileMap.xml - no differences. Reinstalled Flash (no success) then out of frustration reinstalled XP with full disk format (and then everything else all over again - took 3 days) - still no success. Files open from the Flash 'File\Open' menu no problem - just not from Windows Explorer anymore. Nothing is different than before (when everything was ok - same installed programs, apps, updates, exact same 'set-up' as far as Windows drivers, system settings, prefs etc goes. VERY bizarre!

As you know Flash 8 was a Macromedia product. They don't exist anymore - being absorbed by the all powerful, all seeing, all knowing Adobe Systems (sort of reminds me of the BORG on Star Trek - you know 'Resistance is futile').
I tried literally everything - to no avail. Since I did try everything - up to and including a complete HDD full format and OS reinstall (which only accomplished deleting several days of my life that I'll never get back) I have come to the conclusion that it must be something inherent in the program that only affects installations performed after 12/31/12.
My 2 laptops have no issues because the program has been on them for years and has never been reinstalled, but I would be willing to bet if I had to reinstall it on them I would start getting the same problem (since it's now past 12/31/12).
On 12/31/12 Adobe did something in a way 'similar' to CS2 owners by rendering the activation of CS2 products inoperative. I found this out the hard way after I had just reinstalled everything while trying to deal with this issue. I had to spend hours on the phone to finally get the news from 'Dave' in Indonesia that Adobe decided to just arbitrarily render their CS2 customers paid-for software obsolete and inoperative! (Out of fairness they DID provide 'replacement' apps that don't require activation - thus avoiding MEGA lawsuits).
Anyway - I'm just saying that software makers can build anything into their product, including date specific limitations without the consumer ever being aware of it.
With the exception of this issue it otherwise works fine, and I guess I'll just have to deal with it from now on by dbl-clicking on Fla files TWICE instead of once - otherwise affectionately known as 'quadruple-clicking', (but if you count closing the error window then it's 'quintuple-clicking').
I don't mind being proven wrong - so if somebody out there knows what is going on here (besides my theory of software developers time limitations resulting in complete world domination) feel free to reply. I'll get an email telling me someone replied and I'll come to this post and have a look.
(suggestions to reinstall will be ignored - been there, done that)

How to view all files / folders using a Jtree

Hello,
I am developing a 'windows explorer' type application and need to create a JTree which displays all files and folders on a local and remote PC in the same way that windows explorer works.
Can anyone recommend a good way to read all files / folders and display them in a JTree?
Thanks in advance!!!!!!

Can anyone recommend a good way to read all files /
folders and display them in a JTree? Don't even try to read all the files at once; it could take too long and could consume a lot of memory. Create a JTree model that only reads the children of node when required. I use a simple cache (I hate using a cache but in this case it is needed) to minimise the number of disk reads but I use a TreeExpansionListener to remove items from the cache when a node is about to be collapsed e.g.
    public void treeWillCollapse(TreeExpansionEvent event)
        Object lastElement = event.getPath().getLastPathComponent();
        childCache_.remove(lastElement);
    }

Hundreds of Identical Files & Folders Show In All Spotlight Searches

Hundreds of Identical Files & Folders Show In All Spotlight Searches
Hi,
I had this issue posted in September and didn't get back to it 'till today so I found it archived. I don't think I got any answers the first time around. When a post is archived, are replies archived also?
Here's the problem:
Spotlight works for me the way it’s designed to work. It finds what I’m looking for if the item is in the computer.
But what are showing up in most of my searches, are long columns of files, all with the same names, sometimes as many as forty or fifty identical items. These files have the same dates and sizes. Some are located in different folders, including Trash, but most are complete duplicates
I do occasionally save as the same document in different places, or make a duplicate/copy to put in more than one location. But I have never created more than a few duplicates. In Spolight, there are hundreds
Any suggestions?

ibook g4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I rebooted the machine. Now all the files show up in Finder. But when I repeat the exporting procedure I get the same problems again. Files are not showing up in Finder as they are supposed to.

File folders on nano

there's this file folder in my nano that automatically pops up whenever i use the disk use...the name is DATA(ipod's name eg: DATAmyk101) it is 41.5kb in size..and nothing in it...it re-routes me to my documents if ever i tried to open it..
this happened after i used disk mode and save some files from other computer...i tried to delete it...but it keeps coming back whenever i put the nano into disk mode again..
worst is...it transfered to my pc's file folders...what it did is copy a certain file folders name say in my music...i have a folder named greenday...i clicked it and see whats inside..then the "folder named greenday would appear...and when i tried to open it...i was rerouted to my documents on the right half of the screen and the left half is in explore mode..any of you guys thinks what im thinking right now..a possible virus?
i tried to detect it with avg but no virus was found...
i'm really poor with computer skills...so i guess i'd turn this nail biting problem to you guys reading this out there...who might know how to get rid of this folder once and for all...it's pretty annoying you know..
thanks a lot to those who might help me with this thing...

You can attempt to remove the files manually. The most efficient way would be to backup your own Home Folder, then do a completely new installation, and migrate your Home Folder from backup.

Duplicate video files not working

Random video files don't work when transferred or duplicated.
One process;
I transfer .mov files from one computer to the local drive on the mac. Most of the files work- others just show the quicktime icon, but fail to open citing "The document “XXXX.mov” could not be opened. The movie's file format isn't recognized."
Another process;
I already have the video files (.mov, .mp4, etc.) already on the local mac- most files have no issues, but when I duplicate the file some just show the quicktime icon and fail opening with 'The document “XXXXX.xxx” could not be opened. The movie's file format isn't recognized."
One thing is clear- if a file fails, once transferred or duplicated, that file will ALWAYS fail if re-transferring or re-duplicating.

If you click Yes the project file will be updated when you save it. That has nothing to do with the media.
Are the Lesson and Media folders still in the Book Files folder (or whatever it's called)?
Select one of the clips in the browser and use Edit>Item Properties. One of the first lines is Source. That gives you the file path for where your media is supposed to be located. What does it say? If nothing is there, use the File>Reconnect function and point the application to where the media is located.

Duplicate MP3 files

After upgrading to the latest version of iTunes (11.0.1), I noticed that there are now duplicate MP3 files for all of the tracks for which Gracenote has found album artwork. While the duplicate tracks aren't visible as duplicates within iTunes, the duplicates are clearly visible within the source folders when I view them with Finder. In each case, the track that I had originally loaded is shown with the default "dual music note" icon, and the duplicate track is shown as "(song title) 1.mp3" with a miniature icon of the album artwork. How did this happen? How can I delete the duplicate entries in a systematic way, without doing it track-by-track for my entire library? How can I prevent this issue from recurring? My MP3 library is huge, so this duplication is eating up significant hard drive space.

whoa talk about duplicates. thanks for the link, i figured out how to "show duplicates" within itunes. i suppose what i'm looking for is a script for spotlight that will identify duplicates on my hard drive with the exact same name and either delete them for me, or give me an easier way to delete them myself (besides weeding through each mp3 and deleting whatever comes up twice)

T500 with Win7 difficulty opening files/folders

I have brand new T500 with Win7, and I have difficulty opening files/folders. They do not open with double-click or single-click (I have various times gone to Control Panel/Files and Folders option), but I have ro right-click to get a window with the open at the top --this is cumbersome and I think a problem with Win7. I would greatly appreciate help on this, das is driving me crazy... thanks,
Eugenio
Moderator note; edited subject for reflect content

I was able to get the 1-click work in opening files/folders... however, double-click does not work even when making changes in the Control Panel. I look forward to any suggestions. Is this a bug in Win7...?

Duplication of file folders in local file system Navigator

My colleague and I have just noticed that in DIAdem 2010 we have duplication of file folders and network drives in the local file system window of Navigator. In the attached screen dump you can see folders that have duplicated - sometimes more than once as they are shown with full network path and with alloted drive letter (e.g. K&C, Project Info, Proposals 2010, SQEQUELData).
You can also see where our 'N drive' is repeated part way down the folder tree. Needless to say, these are all rubbish.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Si.

Hi Brad,
Regarding not showing a Win Explorer screen dump, you'll have to trust me. I can assure you they are phantom, especially as there would not be a network drive shortcut letter part way through a folder tree structure. I don't know how much it has to do with the DataFinder either as we don't use it (unless it runs automatically in the background).
Here are the answers to your other questions:
Do you have DIAdem / DataFinder running continuously, or do you shut them down from time to time? DIAdem is only run when required - it spends more time shut than open.
How do you have the DataFinder set up-- will it notice file system changes automatically? I haven't set DataFinder up at all so it is exactly as it came out of the factory. I ran a test by adding a new folder and it didn't show up until I hit the refresh button.
Have you tried the <Index Now> button in the DataFinder configuration to force a re-indexing of all Search Areas? I tried this and it made no difference.
Cheers, Si.

Putting files/folders onto ipad

Hey I'm pretty new to using the iPad. So here's my question. I like to read comics/manga on my Samsung phone but would like to use those files/folders on my iPad.
Is there a way to put these files and folders directly there seeing as iTunes doesn't seem to upload zip files.
Also I'd like to organise these files into folders thus the folders part of the question.
I've tried using file transfer apps but they don't seem to upload whole folders, instead it's individually.

Applescript copy Files-Folders help.

Hello everybody,
I need your help on a copy files – folders script issue. I have two folders A and B, I need a script that every time I drop a file or folder on A to copy the files or folders on B.
I am new on this Mac amazing world, so, I really need your help.
Thanks,
Andy
p.s. Sorry for my English, is not my native language..

Hi Andy
Try the below folder action script, as the code stands it will not replace any folders/files in "B" if they are the same uncomment the "with replacing" to replace folders, files that are the same in "B".
Also as the code stands it will leave the origional copy in folder "A"
You will need to save the code to:
Macintosh HD:Library:Scripts:Folder Action Scripts:
and attach it to folder "A" , making sure to enable folder action scripts.
on adding folder items to thefolder after receiving theseItems
tell application "Finder"
duplicate theseItems to folder "Macintosh HD:Users:Andy:Desktop:B:"--with replacing

Get Media From Files & Folders is Broken

In premiere elements 9, whenever I go to organize, get media, files and folders, it takes 30 seconds to open the explorer window, and when it does it comes up blank. It still has the tabs on the side like recent places and desktop, but no matter what I click or do, it wont show any files or folders! What do I do?

lillianstreet
More questions to add to SG's questions....
Are you running Premiere Elements 9 as the 9.0.1 Update?
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed?
Are you running the program as Run As Administrator or from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
Now that we have gotten the usual questions out of the way.....
1. Is your video card driver up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the video card?
2. If the video card driver is up to date, then delete the BadDrivers.txt file found in the Windows 7 or 8 64 bit path:
Local Disc C
Program Data
Adobe
Premiere Elements
9
and in the 9 Folder is the BadDrivers.txt file that you delete.
Make sure that you are working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path.
3. We could try deleting the Adobe Premiere Elements Pref file or the whole folder that it exists
Local Disc C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
9
and in the 9 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elemens Prefs file that you delete. Same comment as above regarding the Folder Option "Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives".
4. After that comes the uninstall, run through of ccleaner, reinstall.
We will be watching your progress and your replies to SG.
Thanks.
ATR
With all those questions, I nearly forgot to ask "Is this a it never worked before issue" or "Did this work before but not now" type issue?
