Windows Explorer does not like java-files

First, I know this is very off-topic, but bear with me anyway.
I have discovered that the search-function in Windows-Explorer shows an erratic behaviour when encountering java-files (and probably other files). I did the following:
Created c:\temp\test.java with the following contents:
testI right-clicked on c:\temp, then search, and told it to look for test. Nothing. Renamed the file test.java->test.txt. Tried another search and found the file. Ok, probably an index problem, ignoring all java-files.
Then I tried the following
Choosed the root of a project with over 1000 java-files, set to search for the keyword public. Nothing. I tried the keyword class. Nothing. Then I tried for, and voila, 8 files found.
Has anyone else encountered this particular Windows-Feature? I am using Windows XP SP2. Can anyone verify if this is a SP2 problem?
Bonus question: Does anyone know the algorithm of this Microsoft-search?

Windows search does also look for text in certain
files, and ".java" is not one of them. You need to
add the extension to the search list by manually
adding data to the registry
(http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/Pub0009/LPMArticle
.asp?ID=323).Ah yes. But... why does it find some files?
That is the thing what bothers me. If it hadn't found
anything, I would say the usual "Win is crap" phrase
and forget about it.I thought the index server might be causing that.

Windows 7 does not like my Audigy Card at all

Hey guys,
Got too excited and went out and bought Windows 7 Ultimate x64 - fantastic. Problem is, I have no sound - my Asus Rampage Formula motherboard has no onboard sound as it comes with a seperate sound card which won't work and neither will the cheapy Audigy standard one I bought today to try...
7 automatically installs some drivers when it detects I have a sound card installed and sticks it in the Device Manager under 'System Devices' and calls it a 'High Definition Audio Controller'
Now I found the new Win 7 drivers on here and downloaded in the hope of installing and overwriting this 'Hi Def Audio Controller' but when i'm in setup I get the error message "Setup is unable to detect a supported product on your system. Please ensure that your product is properly installed before running this Setup Program. Setup will exit" which is completely baffling me as Win7 can detect and install this 'audio controller' - when I hover over the volume icon in the taskbar (which incidentally has a red cross over it) it says 'No audio output is installed"
I'm probably going wrong somewhere, but I don't know if its Win7 or these "Windows 7" drivers don't actually work?
Please can anyone help?!!

Re: Windows 7 does not like my Audigy Card at all^ Perhaps you can try this:
<a rel="nofollow" href="http://support.creative.com/downloads/download.aspx?nDownloadId=0960"]http://support.creative.com/downloads/download.aspx?nDownloadId=0960[/url]
Yes I know that that is a standard driver from Creative. But try to download the driver. Then right click it, and extract it. You can extract it like this if you have WINRAR, WINACE, or WINZIP on your system. Even the free 7-zip will work great.
Then go to device manager, and then to your unknown device, and then update driver, and then choose "have disk....." and browse to the folder where you unzipped the driver. Then install the driver, allowing it to copy the files over to your system. Reboot. Sound may still not be working at this point. Then try windows update or the Daniel K. pack again. Using this method may seem weird but I am trying to "trick" your system into picking up your Audigy.
This worked for me before with my x-fi Titanim and my Extreme gamer when I switched to Vista 64.

Windows Explorer Does Not Refresh Automatically (Needs F5) AND Takes A Long Long Time To Make New File

In Windows 7, it will go into this state where it won't update folders automatically, and I have to hit F5, as well, if I go for example, New->Text Document - it will hang the desktop and take like 3-4 minutes before coming back and showing the file.
It is like something is preventing or slowing down the refresh of windows explorer.
It happens about once a day, sometimes I reboot to see if I can get it to go away.

Hi,
This kind of issue can be caused by several reasons, such as third party program, out-dated drivers.
To troubleshoot this issue, please perform the following steps:
1. Update BIOS and device drivers to the latest version.
2. If any security program is installed (anti-virus, firewall), please temporarily disable it
3. Test it in Clean Boot mode.
4. Reset Folder option:

Windows XP does not support Java!

I was not surprised to see the statement from Microsoft that they will remove the JVM from their new operating system Windows XP, as it is "unecessary files for the user".
This causes a huge problem for all companies basing themselves on making applets. The reason for using applets is to provide web functionality without having to download plug-ins, but now this is no longer workable.
As a solution I request that Sun should come to the rescue here, as Microsoft surely will not be helpful.
What we need is a TINY file that will replace the functionality of the MS Java for the Internet Explorer. No huge 1.3 libraries, only the most basic things needed to run 1.1 applets like the MS virtual machine could. This system should be EXTREMELY easy to install for the end user. Just one click, and only the very, very basic files needed to replace the functionality should be installed. And only for the browser, to save space.
Basically what we need is a Java applet viewer plugin for Internet Explorer, that downloads extremely fast and that has installation procedures almost invisible to the end-user.
I emphasize on TINY (no 5MB huge beast!) and EXTREMELY easy to install. I am aware there exists solutions today, but they do not follow these criterias. This would be like a Java Browser Micro Edition for applets. Also, new VMs seem to be almost in practice non-functinal running applets written for Java 1.0 or 1.1, as we have seen in Netscape 6 which can run only a few existing applets, and very poorly. Please use the 1.1. standard, this will also save downloading time.
I expect Sun to take this seriously, as an applet free web would surely void a lot of work put into this branch of Java. And as a Java developer through several years, I would not think twice leaving Java in favour of C# if Sun does not provide a web browser solution for me, and everyone else depending on applets on the net. Not because I want to, but I see no other real world functional options now.

As a solution I request that Sun should come to the rescue here, as Microsoft surely will not be helpful.<<<You are right. Sun should come to the rescue here. Sun is not only helping us, but also helping Sun itself.

I expect Sun to take this seriously, as an applet free web would surely void a lot of work put into this branch of Java. <<<To get Sun's attention, we should help Sun realize that Java will become un-popular, maybe even disappears, because of this. I am not sure they really care there is a lot of work put into this branch of Java (sorry if I am wrong).
I just don't understand why this type of solution is not available today. Everybody (including a guy like me who is always in the dark) could see what MS would do even two years ago.
Sun, if you don't give us a solution, I will switch to C#, "Not because I want to, but I see no other real world functional options now."
Did I get somebody's attention? Could we get more people to talk to Sun?

Windows 8.1 windows explorer does not connect to network drives

I have a network drive (SAN) on my local network which everytime I re-install windows I cannot connect to it anymore.
Last time I fixed this issue it was just a single checkbox(or radio button) but I cannot remember where it was and what was it called.
I am getting error
"Error Code: 0x800704b3
The network path was either typed incorrectly, does not exists. or the network provider is not
currently available. Please try retyping the path or contact your network administrator."
Which none of them are true and by the way, I am the network administrator in my home network and sorry that I cannot contact myself (ain't sometimes Microsoft error messages as stupid as their developers?)
1- I can connect to internet and browse web and receive mail too. so my network connection is working perfectly.
2- I can ping my device (using both its IP and name). I can see an IP assigned to my device.
3- I can browse my device and even access its management service using firefox (I don't have internet explorer because I removed it)
4- I have File and printer sharing for microsoft network (in ethernet properties) installed and activated too.
5- windows installation is new so nothing is changed in it.
6- my firewall is not blocking the access to device either (If I disable it still cannot see the network drive)
7- Network and sharing center is empty!
8- In IPv4 advanced properties Netbios over TCP/IP is enabled too (which I think that was what fixed it last time)
9- there is no error event is listed in event viewer.
What is this problem that I have to fix every single time I install windows 8.1 I have to fix?

Hi Bob,
It seems like your network is working properly. So If you make sure your network path is correct, let us check other settings for mapping network drives.
Check if the issue persists under safe mode and make sure that “TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper” in service.mcs is running.
Make sure your computer name is unique and using NetBIOS over TCP/IP.
The computer name could be either a Netbios name or a DNS name. so if one doesn’t work check the other one.
You also could try the net use command, to see if it might return additional infomation

Trash does not like a file

I am trying to empty the Trash with a .mov file that I created yesterday. When I try to empty the Trash, I get a opaque black screen that tells me in several languages that I need to shut down my computer, and the file stays in the Trash. I tried overwriting the file, but the same thing happens. I even tried changing the name and extention, but to no avail.
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

utbman-
Bummer.
Select the file and do the "get info" thing and make sure that it is not locked.
Does the file play normally? Not that it should matter, but did you try the "empty trash securely" thing?
Luck-

I have tried to download and install Firefox 3.16 (US version) on a XP system three times. The program installs normally but cannot be launched. Clicking on the shortcut or even on the firefox.exe in Windows Explorer does not launch the program.

I had a similar problem on a Windows 7 system, but there I succeeded after a second attempt. On the XP system I desinstalled the Firefox program before every new attempt. But no way. Firefox appears in the Program groups in System Information, so I suppose the program is normally installed. Intelliguard of PC Tools was temporarily disabled, so that is not the problem. Skype is version 5. Is there a registry problem?

I have tried it many times now. I get the alert that I should seriously upgrade, so being a dutiful Firefox and Mozilla user, I try. My iBook G4, several years old now, won't launch it.

I have a large video on my ipad that I need to transfer to my PC (a window 7). I could also use a windows 8 if that would help. But all of the applications I have tried do not see this large video (52 mins) even though they transfer smaller videos fine. The ipad will not let me trim the video, saying it is too large. This is true even though I only want to trim the original, and not create a new video. (Actually it refuses before it gets to the choice of creating something new or just eliminating something from the original). I have been to an Apple store, but the people there only could recommend that I try some alternate applications to do the transfer (Kodak EasyShare). I don't have much faith this will work. I think I have this application on an old PC, and it is not something I want on my new computers.
Is it possibled the size of this video just violates the transfer formats for files over USB? If so, I will just delete the video and move on. But the video is really something I wanted to save. I would be happy to eliminate most of the video, but the ipad will not let me trim it.
I also tried to import the video with Windows Moviemaker (free with W7). It also does not see this file, but works fine on the other videos on the ipad.

Folder appears in Windows Explorer, but not in the Open File dialog

Hello,
I hope this is the right place to post this. If not, please let me know where is.
A friend just showed me a weird problem he is having with his computer. He is using Windows 7 pro, and has a folder under My Documents, in which he keeps his work files. He emails these files using Gmail, which he accesses via Internet Explorer.
All worked fine until a few days ago, when he noticed that when he clicked the link in Gmail to attach a file, his folder wasn't listed in the Open File dialog. He looked in Windows Explorer, and could see the folder OK. I tried opening Word and using the Open
File dialog there, and the folder wasn't visible.
If he clicks in the address bar, and adds the folder name to the path, it opens the folder, but shows it as empty. I actually has two subfolders. If he adds the name of a subfolder, then the Open File dialog shows the files in that folder.
I checked the permissions on the folder, and couldn't see anything odd. What I don't understand is how the folder can be visible in Windows Explorer, and not in the Open File dialog.
Anyone any ideas? Thanks

I can confirm - I'm having the exact same problem.
When I try to lookup or save a file from an IE file dialog some folders do not show up. I can type the folder name into the directory field and it then goes there, but this assumes you know the directory name and it's a PITB.
Firefox can browse to the directory directly.
It would be interesting if anyone else found a fix for this - I'll post here again if I find out more somewhere else, but there are not too many threads out there as far as I have found for now.
Found a solution over at answers at Microsoft dot com. (can post links here yet - will update once I can)
In short: There's a fast fix for this issue by resetting a hidden flag that IE sets for some folders. I believe this part of the "protected mode" feature, though I can't confirm and also have no idea how this would protect me from any intruders,
if only (unimportant) subfolders are protected ...
Anyway - if you know the name of the missing folder (e.g. from browsing the directories form windows explorer): in the parent directory that has the folder missing do a Search (in box at top right) for the missing
folder name. In my case the hidden folder shows up in the search - now right click -> Properties -> clear hidden flag. Note: this "hidden" flag is independent of the flags set in windows explorer - that's why you have trouble going there with IE and not
the file explorer from the desktop.

I think in your situation it would be worth trying the things listed under the event. It does have to do with FRS and it's easy to do. I've used it to fix journal errors after a server unexpectedly restarts and sysvol stops replicating. I
could see where it could fix your issue, and if it doesn't, you're out 5 minutes. :)

My windows 7 machine does not recognise .swf files. I have down loaded the flash player but I think.

My windows 7 machine does not recognise .swf files. I have down loaded the flash player but I think but it is linked as a plug in with chrome and IE. How can I get my windows to recognise the .swf files to play them.

The downloaded file is the projector, not an installer; you need to make the file association manually:
move the downloaded exe file to a location you can remember, e.g. C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
right-click on a swf file and select Open with > Choose default program
navigate to the folder you saved the player and select flashplayer_13_sa.exe

When iTunes/iPod sync process failed due to timeout, the iPod, has only the initilaised filesytem structure at the start of the Sync.
The timeout failure could be due to
Bad hardisk - do the iPod disk diagnostic, refer to this excellent post by tt2
Slow USB port or resource - Dont use any USB hub, disconnect all other USB devices while syncing
Timeout due to Antivirus or other plugins - disconnect from Internet and stop the Antivirus or monitoribng software if you are syncing.
Preferably stop doing other things while syncing this ancient device, which the latest iTunes designer, think will soon be extinct.
Have a nice day!
