Windows 8.1 File Extensions and Show Hidden Files Always showing

Dear sir,
It's been an on and off problem for me since my windows 8.1 sometimes like to show it all whether it's the extensions of the file or even the file itself and it doesn't accept my command on not showing it. I have a bitdefender 2015 always up to date so my
guess is that could not be a virus please help.

Hi,
How about uncheck file extension option? In addition, follow the screenshot below and make your settings same with main.

  • When opening, firefox keeps checking if my extensions work in new verision, and shows me what's new page.

    As the title says, every time I start Firefox, it thinks that the update is new. Checks extensions and shows what's new page.

    Did you try to delete the prefs.js file and a possible user.js file?
    It is also possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
    Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.

    New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files":
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
    If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to check if there is a compatibility update available.

  • When I click on a link, a new window opens but is blank and says "stopped" at the bottom

    Happens on any website.eg-if I am looking for a quote on moneysupermarket.com and I lick on the required link, a new window will open but it will be blank and in the bottom left hand corner the word stopped appears

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    There are other things that need attention.

    i got a new lenovo desktop windows 8.1,installed itunes and synced my iphone 4 no problems. then i imported a cd of songs which showed up in recently added but not in main library ,therefore it did not sync to the iphone. how can i get new songs to appear in the main library and sync properly
    thanks
    john

    Check the songs are really not in the Music section of the library by clicking the magnifying glass in the search box and unticking Search Entire Library if it is ticked, then typing in the name of the album. If the tracks still don't show try closing iTunes and deleting a hidden file called sentinel from inside your iTunes folder. This should make iTunes run an integrity check on the database when you start it again. Make sure the tracks are checked before you try syncing again.

    I found two unknown directories on my PC in my user profile.  I have, so far, been unable to identify what put them there, which process owns them, and when I delete them (using Admin escalated privileges) they come back after a few minutes or immediately
    after reboot.
         c:\users\USERNAME\appdata\local\EmieSitelist\container.dat
         c:\users\USERNAME\appdata\local\EmieUserlist\container.dat
         C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\EmieSiteList\container.dat
         C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\EmieUserlist\container.dat
    It was time, anyway, so I wiped the drive using factory low-level overwriting and performed a clean install of Windows 8.1 Pro using a freshly downloaded ISO from Microsoft; one with an ESD distribution, written to a new just out-of-the-bedamned-hardshell-plastic
    flashdrive..
    I just completed the clean install, in this sequence:
    Boot to flashdrive and let Windows create partitions then install.  Reboot.  Check AppData; no folders found.
    Activate.  Check AppData; no folders found.
    Run first Update; install everything except Bing Bar and Desktop.    Check AppData; no folders found.  Reboot.  Check AppData; no folders found.
    Add Feature Windows Media Center.  Check AppData; no folders found.  Reboot.  Check AppData; no folders found.
    Run Updates a second time.  Check AppData; no folders found.  Reboot.  Check AppData; no folders found.
    Remove MS C++ v12 x86 and x64 installed during Update.    Check AppData; no folders found.  Reboot.  Check AppData; no folders found.
    Download from MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/default) Redistributables MS C++ x86 and x64, 2005, 2008, 2010, and 2012.4 versions, and install in sequence.  Check AppData
    after each install; no folders found.  Reboot after each install and check AppData; no folders found.
    Run Updates a third time.  Response was No Updates Available.  Check AppData; no folders found.
    Reboot.  Check AppData; all four sub-directories are now present.
    These sub-directories and dat-files are not, so far, present in the AppData\Roaming directory.
    There is nothing except Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro WMC and the 10 MS C++ packages installed; and MS Silverlight and AMD (videocard) Catalyst Control Center on the machine.  Windows Defender is present but is installed as part of Windows 8 and 8.1;
    and its' updates are provided via the MS Update process.  All - repeat ALL of these items are provided by Microsoft.
    My questions are:  What are the Emie directories for; what program created them, and what does the various container.dat files "contain"?  And . . . if not absolutely necessary, How do I get rid of them and keep them from coming back?
    First attempt at Solution:
    Permissions are Full for System, USERNAME, and group Administrators.  The USERNAME is the Owner, and Effective Permissions for each of the 3 is Full.
    Open Command Prompt (Admin)
    C:\Windows\system32>cd\
    C:\>attrib -r -h +s C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\EmieSiteList\container.dat
    C:\>attrib -r -h +s C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\EmieSiteList

    BOTH Files and Directories are no longer Hidden.  The Directories still show that the files within are READ-Only, but checking the actual file shows that it is no longer R-O.
    I then deleted each of the 4 directories and  closed Windows (File) Explorer.
    After less than 3 minutes reading pages on the internet (at Microsoft's Ask Windows Community), I opened Windows Explorer to check and found that the sub-directories had re-created themselves in both the Local and LocalLow directories.
    The container.dat files were back in the Local sub-dir and after another few minutes, also back in the LocalLow sub-dir.
    Both the sub-directories and the container.dat files are once again Super-Hidden.
    Analysis using Windows utilities and SysInternals and NirSoft tools have not identified which object or process or service owns these objects.
    ADDED:  My system is a home system, not connected to any work domain via VPN or otherwise.  WHY is the Windows Update Team not spending time to implement condition-and-error-checking to ensure that unneeded updates, services, and changes are not made
    without the system owner/operator permission?  Further, WHY is this particular issue so hard to find info about; what is being kept from customers and why?

    Dear sir Shovel Driver,
       About:  EMIEsitelist  and  EMIEuserlist
    .., hidden directories and dat-files
    Internet Explorer 11 (on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1) provides increased performance, improved security, and support for the modern technologies like HTML5 and CSS3 that power today’s Web sites and services. By adding better backward compatibility with
    Enterprise Mode, Internet Explorer 11 now helps customers stay up to date with the latest browser—and facilitates using the latest software, services, and devices.
    IE11 Enterprise Mode can be set in the Group Policy Console, or by adding a
    Registry setting:
    REGISTRY:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer]
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
    "EnterpriseMode"="Disable"
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\EnterpriseMode]
    Or a edit a Group Policy setting, which you can find under:
    [Windows-Key]+[R]->[Run]->Type here:
       gpedit.msc
    Press [Enter], with an UAC Warning:
    Do you want to allow the following program to make changes on this computer:
    gpedit.msc ?
    Select/Press: Yes
    Go to in the Left pane of the GPedti.msc Window:
      Computer Configuration
      Administrative Templates
      Windows Components
      Internet Explorer
    Change / Add at right list, down under:
      "Use the Enterprise Mode IE website list"
    Set this option to - whatever you need;  Disabled,
    Enabled (Default is: Not Configured)
    When Enabled, you need to add a list with Web-Sites, Domains or Web-Pages.
    This policy setting lets you specify where to find the list of websites you want opened using Enterprise Mode IE, instead of Standard mode, because of compatibility issues. Users can't edit this list.
    If you enable this policy setting, Internet Explorer downloads the website list from your location
      (HKCU or HKLM\Software\policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\EnterpriseMode),
    opening all listed websites using Enterprise Mode IE, Web-Sites are seperated by a sign: "
    If you disable or don't configure this policy setting, Internet Explorer opens all websites using Standards mode.
    Now to
    properly close and conclude this
    mystery:
    EMIEsitelist and EMIEuserlist
    .., are hidden directories and dat-files
    Thses directories and dat files are used to store data for the IE11
    EnterpriseMode.
    It is not a: Virus, neither it is a Trojan, Hoax, KeyLogger or anything else bad.

  • Installed extensions not showing windows extensions pull down?

    I have the latest photoshop CC installed, & extensions manager for CC. I cannot for the life of me understand why after installing Russell Brown's paper textures, & watercolor assistant extensions, they show installed in the exchange panel as installed,  but not in the drop down window>extentions !
    I have ran the extensions manager program & it says they are enabled! but no where to be seen with the PS CC window>extensions !
    Help!
    ....Alan

    Hi Alan,
    Thanks for this information. Can you also tell me whether or not such folders exist here?:
    /Applications/Adobe Photoshop CC/Plug-ins/Panels
    I've just tried installing those particular products with that version of Photoshop, and this is where they end up.
    If the folders aren't there, could you please enable logging as follows and send me the log files at fgregor at adobe dot com?
    Create a file called 'ExManCoreLibLog.YES' and place it in the following location:
    /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CC/Log/ExManCoreLibLog.YES
    Then create a file named 'ExManLog.YES' and place it at:
    /Applications/Adobe Extension Manager CC/Adobe Extension Manager CC.app/Contents/MacOS/ExManLog.YES
    Both log files are generated and saved in the following location:
    /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CC/Log
    Many thanks,

  • How to create new file extension and associate an application with it?

    Hi,
    I want to create a new file extension named ".emsof" and
    associate any text editor with it like notepad++ in windows 8.1
    Moreover all of these files should be searched by having filter of "*.emsof" like any other ordinary files.
    Please guide me about hoe to do it?
    Thanks.

    Hi BurrWalnut,
    Thanks for the help.
    Will this command also allow me create and save file with .emsof extension and  to filter files through .emsof extension (Like we can filter through .doc or .txt extension)???
    1. I don’t know what you mean by ‘filter’. In your initial post you mentioned searching, if that’s what you mean, you can search for any extension.
    2. An easy to understand example of the assoc and ftype commands is a .txt file, which we all use in Notepad:
    Typing assoc .txt in a cmd prompt will return txtfile (the file type).
    Typing ftype txtfile will return %SystemRoot%\System32\notepad.exe %1 (the full path of the program and %1 representing a passed parameter).
    Alternatively, look in the registry hive HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT for .txt and further down for txtfile.
    3. If you add an entry that is later unwanted, you can easily delete it by typing assoc .emsof= and pressing Enter. Then delete the filetype by typing ftype myext= and pressing Enter. You can, of course, just delete the entries in the registry (nor recommended
    for beginners).
    4. Test it out now but be aware not to use extensions or filetypes that currently exist.
    5. Display all extensions and their associated file types by firstly copying the following 4 lines:
    assoc >"%userprofile%\desktop\assoc.txt
    start notepad "%userprofile%\desktop\assoc.txt
    exit
    cls
    Press the Windows Logo key+X (or right-click or press and hold the bottom left corner) and choose Command Prompt/Windows PowerShell (Admin). Using the mouse right-click, paste the 4 copied lines to the Command Prompt window. A .txt file is created on the Desktop
    and Notepad will open and display the list. The list represents the registry keys located in the merged HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. In the left pane, look for the extension, for example .txt. The (Default) field in the right pane contains the file type, e.g. txtfile.
    6. Now display all file types and their associated programs by substituting the above 4 lines with these:
    ftype >"%userprofile%\desktop\ftype.txt
    start notepad "%userprofile%\desktop\ftype.txt
    exit
    cls
    Another .txt file is created on the Desktop and Notepad will open and display it. This list represents the registry keys in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT further down beyond the extensions. Look for the file type, for example txtfile, then click or tap shell\open\command.
    In the right pane, the (Default) field shows the full path of the program that opens it, e.g. notepad.
    7. NOTE. In operation, any keys in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes (current user) take precedence over those in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes (all users) and both keys appear as the merged HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. Any changes should be made to HKCU and
    HKLM. The HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT keys are intended to be read from, not written to.

  • New problem printing from financial websites - print button sends file to a "cgi" extension and adobe cannot open and print.

    I used to be able to print my bank statements directly from the website to my printer. Now the print program sends the file to a file with a "cgi" extension and saves it on my desktop but as an Adobe file. When i open it to print, Adobe says it is not supported or corrupt. running windows 7 on PC.

    mmsteer,
    I think I may be able to help you with this problem, which I was having with CS4 when I first upgraded to Lion, and others were having with CS3. This fix is courtesy of Aisolve on these discussion boards:
    Remove the Adobe PDF PPDs from the following folders:
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/en.lproj,
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Zh_CN.lproj,
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Ja.lproj,
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/ko.lproj,
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Zh_TW.lproj,
    Be sure to go to your system Library, not your user Library.
    Also, regarding my current problem, I spoke with an Apple tech person and found that the 10.7.2 upgrade apparently is the culprit, and is incompatible with wireless printing to my Lanier printer. I CAN print connected through USB. That's a work-around for now, but I'll need to contact Lanier about upgrading their driver for OS X 10.7.2.
    Aisolve was helping me with this issue, too, and assures me that if I'm able to generate a postscript file (which I was), and able to generate a PDF by distlling it through Adobe Distiller (which I am), then I can safely assume that the problem lies with the hardware, in this case the printer driver. This lines up with what Apple told me.

  • I am trying to move a pdf file onto my iPad2, and it says that the device is not connected or has stopped working.  But Windows 7 recognizes the device and I can see my pictures.  Same thing happens when I try to put music onto the iPad.

    I am trying to move a pdf file onto my iPad2, and it says that the device is not connected or has stopped working.  But Windows 7 recognizes the device and I can see my pictures.  Same thing happens when I try to put music onto the iPad.

    When in iTunes on the computer,my our ipadmshould show under devices.
    Click on your ipadmunder devices then go to music at top center of the iTunes window, check what you want to sync for music. You need to set it to a folder if I remember which would have your music in it you want synced.
    Same with PDF files.....there should be an option for data or even PDF files at the top center area of iTunes when the iPad is clicked under devices.
    If your iPad does not show or you cannot click on it under devices which is in the leftane of iTunes, the iPad is not being seen by the computer.
    Try unplugging the USB cord from the laptop then give it a few and see if the computer picks it up.

  • Flash Player Installer downloads from the Adobe distribution site as a generic file without an extension and the file won't open.

    Hi, everyone.
    When I download Flash Player Installer from the Adobe distribution site Adobe Flash Player Distribution | Adobe the file downloads to my hard drive as a generic file with no extension, and Windows can't determine which program to use in order to open/play the file. I am using Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
    Is there something wrong with the downloaded file? Or am I missing required software?
    Thank you for your time,
    -Brandon

    Yes, I've never had a problem before. I've even downloaded the Flash Player Install files from the Adobe distribution site on multiple occasions in the past without issue. The only thing I could think of is that perhaps the ".exe" extension was left off to avoid triggering security measures on a computer or private network that would prevent the download.
    Anyway, it worked after I added the ".exe" extension to the filename, so I have no complaints!

  • I can't remove Bing. I've tried Control Panel, the article "Removing the Search Helper Extension and Bing Bar," and I have had no luck for Windows 7 and Firefox.

    I can't remove Bing. I've tried Control Panel, the article "Removing the Search Helper Extension and Bing Bar," and I have had no luck for Windows 7 and Firefox.
    I wish I could share the two screen shots I took, but this question site doesn't have the option, so I guess I'll describe where Bing is showing up.
    In the left hand of my browser, just to the right of the back and forward arrows, there is speech bubble with a black eye ball or something. I found out it's Bing-related by clicking on it. There is no option to remove it with either left or right clicking on it.
    Also, in the right hand corner of my browser, at the very end of all my tabs, there is a white rectangular box with an orange "b" and a magnifying glass symbol. It will not respond to anything I try to do to it either, but if clicked it opens a new tab with a Bing search dialogue box.
    Finally, any new tab I open automatically opens to the Bing search dialogue box (versus Google).
    I need to get specific, step-by-step instructions for removing this Bing stuff from my computer. As I said, I have already gone through all steps outlined in the article I mentioned above as well as not been able to locate Bing in my control panel.
    Please help. I'm certain others are having this same issue. I use Windows 7 and Firefox. Thanks.

    Apologies for the formatting there. No idea what went wrong...

  • Finder window in internet doesn't show external hard drive. But it's connected and shows up in normal finder window.

    Mac OX X 10.6.8. My mac works great with my external hard drive (my passport). When I go to attach a file to facebook, email, or upload anything directly from my external, the finder window that pops up no longer shows my external as being connected. But when I go to finder on the macbook, it shows that my external is there and I can access files no problem. This JUST started happening. What's wrong?

    The hard drive won't show up in finder or disk utility, however i can see it in airport utility.
    You would not expect it to show up in disk utility .. it does not work on network drives.
    Finder may or may not be able to see it.
    If the airport utility is showing the drive you have some possibility.
    Did you GUID partition the drive .. or is it still MBR.. ie if it was originally formatted for PC it will be MBR and won't work.. so put it on the Mac again and change the GUID partition.. I would also set a smaller partition size.. the internal drive of the TC is partitioned though you cannot see them.. put a first partition less than 1TB and see how it goes.
    In finder.. don't forget ML has issues with network drive.. make sure you tick all the extras in finder preferences.. and if the drive won't mount try to do it manually.. go .. connect to server.
    AFP://TCname or TCIPaddress.. where you use the actual name or IP.
    Also is the power supply for the hub at least 2A preferably more.. so the hub is powered but the disk is not powered??
