I changed the user name from "user001" to "user888". That changed the name on the login/logout screens. But the user folders and paths all stayed with the old name "user001". As a result some things, like the name installed programs will grab and use, are still called "user001".
Is there a way, short of re-installing Windows, to change all the appropriate folders, paths and registry entries to read "user888" and get rid of the old user name completely?
You may want to create a new account and move the user files over to that new account. Then delete the old account.
A good explanation can be found from Brink below:
Creating a New User Account Similar to an Existing User Account
I mistakenly deleted the contents of a user's account folder and was unable to replace the sub-folders manually or by pasting empty ones from another account. If I try to use the account to save files, I just get an error message saying that the folder xxx or file path doesn't exist, depending on where I am trying to save them. This is not just a long filename error and I am afraid that I have caused problems for the user that would affect any Windows 8 account he opens in future, because of Microsoft syncing. What do you suggest?
Do you mean you've deleted the entire user folder in the root of C:\Users?
If so, just forget about it, unless you need to restore actual data. Simply create a new user after deleting the old one:
net user /delete DeletedUserNameHere
You can see the list of user names with
net user
I have my laptop hard drive partitioned as 3 separate simple volumes.
The largest partition contains WinVista and programs. The second partition contains all my data files (D drive). I've got the Documents link pointing to D:\users\don\Documents. I've got Vista configured to read my personal desktop items (the ones accessible only from my user account) from D:\users\don\Desktop. etc etc.
I've got got an automated backup that backs up the entire contents of my D drive nightly.
Now the question is how can I make it so that when a new user is created, the new user has the same settings?
When I went from Vista to Seven, I wanted to test Easy transfer. I transferred setting (via easy transfer) from one account to a finger drive. Then to a new account. The second account was a copy of the first; desktop, setting, favorites etc. You can pick the settings that you want to tranfer. No cable is needed

My icons are perfectly fine, there are no problems. However, I have these super cute PINK folder icons that I am dying to use instead of the way *yawning* boring blue icons.
Now I imagine there is way to change these icons, or new ones would not be available for use. I feel about my computer the way I feel about my home. It is a reflection of me, and I am not a "default" or "standard" person .
Even if it is complicated I want to know how. Please, Please help me. I don't want to die of computer bordom.
Thank you so much!
Hello Stanton, and welcome to Vista Forums.
Using this tutorial as a guide, you can:
Open the C:\Users\(user name) folder that you want to change.
Doubleclick on the desktop.ini file to open it in Notepad.
Next to IconResource=, change what is highlighted below to the full path of the icon file that you want to change it to.
In Notepad, click on File (menu ba) and Save.
You may need to logoff and logon, or restart, to apply the change.
If the icon gets messed up, then you can use the tutorial to restore the default icon back.
Hope this helps,
I used to use drive C for windows and installed programs, and drive D for my files (music, documents, videos, pictures...etc).
The "Music", "Pictures", "Videos" and "Documents" folders in the user folder refers are located at C:\Users\"User".
To change their location to drive D, I right click each of these folders and choose Properties>location and specify the new location (ex: D:\Music)
My problem is that I in fault specified D: only as the new location and clicked "move". This made my music folder looks the same way as drive D looks when opening "Computer", and of course when opening it, drive D opens. I can not create a new folder named "Music" or delete the old folder or change its location back as it was (Restore default" because it behaves as it is drive D itself...
Any ideas to solve this problem???

I have found some amazing tutorials on this website which achieve ALMOST what I am aiming for... but nothing that quite matches what I am trying to achieve.
I build, and then support many computers for my friends and family. I have recently started making them feel a bit more "manufactured" by using a factory-style recovery option (press F9 at boot to enter recovery / uses a hidden recovery partition etc...).
The issue I have though, is I often get asked to "wipe" someone's computer following a virus/malware infestation (and yes, I do supply AV, but that isn't always enough).
So, I use Sysprep to install all additional software, drivers etc... but the one problem I have is that I like to have, and usually always configure PC's to store items like Documents/Pictures/Music/Videos etc... on a seperate partition.
The problem is, when I configure this in Sysprep - the settings are lost when the user completes OOBE.
Ideally, I do not want to move the entire "Users" directory, I just want the libraries to never look at any folders on the C: drive, only the ones on D: (D:\%USERNAME%\Documents etc...).
I want it so that when files "detect" where to save, it locates the appropriate directory on the D: drive, so they dont have to always manually locate the folders.
The reason I dont want the entire "Users" folder on D: is that following a restore or 2, it will get messy...
I would like to either automate this dur... Read more

User Profiles - Create and Move During Windows 7 Installation
Hello! I recently upgraded my computer with an SSD for boot and main programs and use my 1TB HDD for general programs and media storage. The thing is I want it to by default install to my D:\ drive.
Now the only solution I see is editing the registry ProgramFilesDir - Which has some serious flaws. It will attempt to launch every program off of the D:\ drive even when it is stored on C:\ and about 9 out of 10 times, it still default installs to C:\.
Does anyone have a fix for this?
I have a program that plays music on VB 2008 Express Edition. It accesses music from my memory stick because I'm going to need to move the program to another computer. However, the memory stick was always listed under the J:\ drive, but now randomly it's listed under the K:/ drive. Is there a way so that I can just get the music "into" the program so that it can just play the music no matter what computer it is on. P.S. I also need to get this program to run on XP, and the file path is E:\, I'm afraid that since mine changed randomly, the XP computer I'm moving it to will also change randomly.
Please Help!
You can change the drive letter by going to Administrative Tools in Control Panel and them going into Computer Management, there is a section called Disk Management which will show all connected drives, from there you can change the drive path.
When I first installed Win 7 I simply went with the default user name of "Owner". I wouldn't mind changing it now but I'm concerned about the effect on my shortcuts and so on.
If I rename it, will Windows go through and automatically update all the shortcuts and program paths and so on? My gut reaction is "Of course it will" but I've learned to be cautious with Windows! Will I end up with a lot of tidying up to do?
Only the username will be changed. The c:\users\<username> path does not get changed and this can lead to more confusion.
Better method:
1) Create two new accounts. One in the username you want, and one temporary...you can even call it TEMP if you like.
2) Log in as TEMP. Use Windows Easy Transfer to migrate all files and settings from your old account to the new one you just created.
3) When this is complete, log in as your new user and make sure everything is there and working.
4) Delete your old user and TEMP.
There is an Excel App on our network that gets used by multiple users. In this app there are some VLookups that pull information from other spreadsheets. The problem we are having is that the physical paths in the VLookups are being changed to relative paths. Instead of using L:\Files\somefile.xls it changes to \\server\share\somefile.xls.
When this happens the VLookup stops working, it's odd because both paths are legetimate but only the one with the physical path works. This is happening on several different spreadsheets and the formulas have to continualy remapped.
All users are using Office 97 but the OS are mixed, Win ME, 2000 and 98. Any ideas?
Here are the Vlookups:
=VLOOKUP($C18,'L:\shared files\[EmpDataLog.xls]RATE'!$B$10:$AZ$642,5)
=VLOOKUP($C18,'\\server01\shared files\[EmpDataLog.xls]RATE'!$B$10:$AZ$642,5)
Hi, Tal. I suspected, so I confirmed with someone else here at work, that your users have drives mapped differently and they really need to be the same.
I'm trying to figure out how to change my file path names. The system name on my computer is Tsula but all paths still say the 'Owner' thing.
Example: C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Music\Enya\Enya (new age)\2005 - Amarantine
Know how to fix it? x3

On my desktop-computer i have shared some folders with my home network. Then i changed their paths, as i reorganized myself. Now it seems, when I acces the network, those folders paths dont seem to be updated, as i cant access them.
I can now of course "unshare", rename and share them again, which makes them again accessible through the network, but the old "folder names" still remain. why is that, how can i correct it?
Same problem with some old "synched folders".
Curious, where do the old 'folder names' remain? Just in the drop down menu under 'Map network drive ...'?
If so those paths are saved in your registry.

Hi friends!
I'm experiencing a very strange bug with a custom library. On the odd occasion when I open an explorer pane and navigate to my library on the left-hand side, two of my included folders - which are both located in 'C:\Program Files\...' will change to a non-existent 'C:\Program Files (x86)\...' version of the same folder. If I click on that folder in the library pane it will tell me the folder doesn't exist.
It happens infrequently but often enough to be annoying. It's not immediately clear what causes it or why it stops. When it happened just now I closed all open explorer panes and opened a new one, and the library displayed the correct 'non x86' folder structure.
Any idea what causes this and how it can be avoided?
Here's my story. I've just managed to change a systems boot letter from E:\ to C:\. The machine is working fine now, but all the programs that were installed are still looking in E:\ which no longer exsists. I've gone through and changed a few of these paths manually, but after an hour of that i realised it'll take far too long to do it this way.
What i'm looking for is a tool to look through the registry and replace all instances of "E:\" with "C:\". Does anyone know if such a product is available? It's be a great help.
Thanks in advance
Good luck. This is going to turn out to be a real PITA, as I suspect you're finding out.
By default, programs install to the same drive that the currently running OS is installed on. What I'm trying to do, is to tell it to install programs to another drive/partition.
This way, if I needed to reformat and reinstall the OS, the bulk of my programs will remain intact.
I've read other forums and they've given skeptical answers to indicate that it can't be done, but I figured I'd pose the question here myself.
Yea, mostly games are what I had in mind.
I always move the My Documents folder to a completely different physical drive upon each OS installation (I've been reformatting a lot lately due to instablity with recent hardware upgrades).
I've gotten into the habit of keeping multiple, up-to-date copies of select Application Data--most importantly, Firefox browser data. Switching between a laptop and desktop regularly, I also am able to perodically sync the two systems with the same bookmarks, cookies, saved passwords, and the like.
I've heard there's a way to do it remotely with FireFox so you can import them from anywhere, but for this particular purpose I'm more comfortable keeping the information in my grasp.
Hey Techspot,
The other computers in my network have trouble accessing certain shared folders on my main computer. I have three drives installed, C: my OS drive, and D: and B: file drives. My C: Public folder, another folder on C: and my entire D: drive have been shared for a long time, and are the only paths the other computers can access. Anything I try to share now (except stuff on the D: drive, since the entire thing is share-enabled) will return the "is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource." error.
I can understand why a computer in it's entirity wouldn't be accessible across a network, but as to why certain locations wouldn't work - some on the same drive as locations that do work - I'm at a loss.
Thanks in advance!

I'm having an issue with Windows Media Player for Windows 7.
I imported a bunch of playlists and their associated music files from an XP machine to my new Win7 machine, and some of the music files aren't playing - Media Player simply says that there was "an error" with no further explanation given, but this error only occurs with files with a certain file path.
On my XP machine a large chunk of my music files were located in C:\Documents and Settings\[my name]\My Documents\My Music\[artist name]\[song title] as .wma files. I know that in Win7 the Documents and Settings subdirectory was replaced by Users or something - that's not the real problem, because for all my other music files, the file paths as shown in my WMP playlists will adjust themselves automatically and play the music files correctly no matter where the files are moved. My issue stems from the fact that WMP is not correcting the file paths for the files located in Documents and Settings the way it is for all the other files. There is no way to edit the file paths in WMP, or I would have tried that.
This is not the first time I've moved my XP playlists to a Win7 machine, but on my previous attempts I have had no problem simply copying all my music to one folder and playing them in WMP. So I'm not sure why it's not working this time.
I would prefer to avoid rebuilding all my playlists by hand - I really don't think that should be necessary, since as I said I've moved all my data from an XP to a W... Read more
Hi, new to these forums so I really hope I'm posting this up in the right subforum.
Long story: My old hard drive was dying, and after installing a new one I used this "EaseUS" program to clone the old HDD's data onto the new one. This worked fine except for the fact that all of my shortcuts stopped functioning because the letter assigned to the new HDD was different from the old HDD.
Is there any easy, automatic way of making all shortcuts point to the new file path? Or do I have to manually change the hard drive letter in each shortcut's properties?

Hi everyone,
I got a new HP Pavilion laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. When I booted it up for the first time, there was already an administrator account on it named after the company who sent me the laptop. I renamed the user account and the computer to my name. Unfortunately, this change was not taken over by my profile folder or the profile folder paths. For example, if I go to the C drive and to "Users", then there's the Public folder and underneath it is my profile folder (which has a lock icon) - stuck with the previous name. I can access it and see the picture, music, desktop etc. folders with my stuff in them. I wanted to save a Word Document, and the username in the path was the old one, so that's how I first noticed the issue.
I searched and asked around and found out that I'd have to create a new user account and delete the old one to fix this issue. I came across two sets of instructions. I found one set over here in this Microsoft document for Windows 7 - it is about replacing a corrupted user profile, and it says that one would need THREE user accounts to do it...Very confusing...obviously, my user profile is not corrupt, but it looks like I have to replace it:

I guess this may be a tiny bit off the subject here, but I am attempting this in windows 7.
I have a program file manager tool called 'Directory Opus' that is capable of calling windows external programs and passing them the current directory the file manager is sitting on.
So far so good.
Now I want to call a cygwin (linux/unix emulator for windows) terminal with that file manager.
Checking properties on the cygwin Icon I got the path: C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico -
So it is a path to a command and an argument to that command.
Actually I guess it is 2 arguments to a command since I think '-' in that position means to feed anything on STDIN to the command. At least that would be true in unix shell programming.
So using the Directory opus setup I pass this call:
'@async:C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico - <and here add {s}>'
So the call ends up:
'@async:C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico - {s}'
That call does just what it is supposed to. It passed the current file absolute address however cygwin terminal does not understand the windows path notation. If I were passing it: C:\subdir\blah\ It would just say 'No such file' Cygwin terminal wants to see /cygdrive/c/subdir/blah Or at least I think that is what is happing.
So to cut to the chase.... I'd like to put a little wrapper to Cygwin terminal in there with the code necessary to convert 'C:\subdir\blah\' to '/cygdrive/c/subdir/blah/'
But, I do not know how ... Read more

Hi all,
We are having a real issue with local profiles / user profile service on our domain.
Our staff accounts are using local profiles. When a staff member changes their password something is happening to their profiles on the machines that their local profile is stored. When they try to login the machine is getting stuck at "Please wait for
the user profile service....". It never continues, we have left for 30 mins or more and it doesn't continue.
We are currently having to use delprof2 to remove their profiles from ALL machines they have previously logged into which is a lot of hassle.
We first noticed this issue when we upgraded our workstations from windows 7 to windows 8.
I was hoping that upgrading to windows 8.1 would fix the issue but sadly it doesn't. This is causing us major hassle on our domain.
It only affects people with local profiles... our students use mandatory profiles and they are not affected.
Our DCs are 2012 R2.
I have trawled google but cannot find any information on this. At our yearly microsoft meeting i asked our regional account manager and he couldn't believe the issue. He had never heard anything like this before.
From the event log, the only thing i can see is that it is not finishing the load of the user profile.

Hi all,
I installed Windows 7 and ended up with a default user (AxeL) with Administrative privileges.
Now I enabled the default Administrator account and lowered the privileges of my user AxeL (see Accounts.png).
If I open the User Profiles Pane in Control Panel -> System -> Advanced System Settings the size of the user account is unknown (see Profiles.png).
If I switch back the user Axel to Administrators everything works and I can see the right size in the User Profiles Pane.
Does anyone have a clue on this?
I've tried also Vista and 8 and they all seems affected.

In five years since Win7 beta I've never seen a reason why not, except for one or two of the most incompetent users imaginable. But who is going to be their Admin for them?

Hi, I have installed Windows 7 because I need it for my Degree course and my son's iPod touch. I have only given it 30 gigs of space. I realize I'm going to need more.
I have an external drive that I have formatted ntfs. I have seen a tutorial here
User Profiles - Create and Move During Windows 7 Installation
that explains how to migrate your user folders to another drive. But I would rather mount (don't know the correct term???) the data to the individual users normal folders, so windows thinks that the Documents folder on the external drive is the Documents folder on the C drive. And Music, Videos etc etc for each user.
How would I do that? Thank you.

User Folders - Change Default Location
is this what you mean?
Hi guys.
Windows 8 screwed up my old user account so I had to transfer to a new one. Unfortunately that new one was named after my email address for some reason as I logged on as a microsoft account rather than a local one. Hence in my computer its called users/email_000
This is very annoying.
I've read tutorials on this from other versions of windows ie. here : User Profile Folder - Change User Account Folder Name - Windows 7 Forums
However it doesn't work for Windows 8. When I try one of the earliest steps (renaming the user folder itself) I cant do it as its 'open in another program' even though that User is not logged on.
Any workarounds? Ive created another admin local user, to no avail.
Thanks for your help!
Hello Chookyman, and welcome to Eight Forums.
The best method to do this is to create a new user account with the name you want, make it an administrator account type or leave as a standard user, sign out, sign in to the new account, then delete the old account.
Hope this helps,
I have just done a clean install of Win 7 Pro 64. I have set up four accounts and for each one I have moved the user folders to a separate hard drive by using the Right Click Properties > Location > Move. I have done this for the following folders:
- Desktop
- Downloads
- My Documents
- Favorites
- Links
- My Music
- My Pictures
- Videos
I have done it exactly the same way on each account (and more than once! I've been imaging the disk and have restored backwards a few times.)
The problem is, on three of the accounts, when I move the My Music, My Pictures, and Videos then they do move correctly but three rogue folders appear named Music, Pictures and Videos. And I can't delete then since they are system folders.
But the weird thing is that this does not happen on one of the accounts!
Please can someone explain what's happening and how to get rid of the extra folders as they're cluttering up the users home folder and causing confusion. Also some clue as to why it's inconsistent between the accounts would also help.
Hello Lucian, and welcome to Seven Forums.
It sounds like there may have been a mistake made while moving the user folder's location. You can use OPTION TWO in the tutorial below to restore it's default location to hopefully fix this.User Folders - Restore Default Location
Afterwards, you can try moving it again, but if you are just wanting to save HDD space, then you might consider this below to be able to access the files from your libraries with the files actually located where you like instead. This way you will not have to worry about any potential issues that come with moving user folder locations. Create a new folder at any location you want.
Move any files you want into the new folder.
Include the new folder into a library of your choice.
If you like, you can also set the new folder to be the default "save" to location for the library as well.
Hope this helps,
Hi all,
I am trying to move my users, and all future users folders (i.e. documents, desktop, appdata etc) from my SSD to a regular HD.
I followed a few tutorials and moved each folder by right clicking it and clicking the "Move" button on the location tab
After that, I editted the keys here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
To use the HD. I also copied over the folders "Default", "Public", and "UpdatusUser" to the new location.
After restarting my computer everything works but my user has no picture. If I try and change the picture no pictures come up to be selected.
Have I missed a registry key or something? Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to Seven Forums MDGM. Did you follow this tutorial:
User Profile - Change Default Location
Or something else? A Guy
How do I map existing User Folders to a newly created User Account?
I had existing User Folders on drive D. I added a new drive C and installed the OS on C but changed default location of User Folders to D. Now my existing User Folders are in the Users folder on D but there is no User Account associated with them. If I create a user account with the same name will it map to the existing folder within Users?
I did a test of this. I created a folder called Test within Users then created a User account called Test and logged in. It created another folder within Users called Test.Computername.
Check this post.
I have 2 User Folders - say Mog and Mog-PC in my C drive under Users. But I do not have a User ACCOUNT for Mog - only one, an Administrative Account, for Mog-PC which is the one I use most. In trying to get rid of
Mog I have set up 2 other administrative accounts with completely different names and a Standard User Account and copied most of the Mog and Mog-PC folders over to each of them.
Most recently I discovered some of the Mog files were checked as shared, so I went all through Mog and Mog-PC ensuring none of the folders were shared. I then tried deleting Mog Folders AFTER moving any that did not appear in Mog-PC over to Mog-PC. I ran into trouble with deleting the Desktop Folder (most of Mog-PC Desktop disappeared as well). When I tried to delete the Mog User FOLDER, it was obvious the system was deleting files and folders from Mog-PC so I hastily cancelled. (I do have backups to external hard drives of all important stuff).
Anyone any ideas as to what, short of clean installing, I can do about this. System restore has stopped working recently as well. My Windows disk is OEM from Mesh who made encouraging noises about sending a disc when I first rang but who are not answering my emails since. I may have to try to borrow one from friends of my son but wonder if there is anything else I can do first ?
Thanks if you are reading this - even more thanks if you have any ideas even if only to confirm clean reinstall is the only way forward.
What I mean is, when I set Documents as Small Icons, how can I keep folders inside Documents from doing the same thing? Like when I go into My Received Files, I don't want the pictures to be small icons. I want them to be medium/large. But any change I make in a folder applies itself to every other folder as well.
Hello Andrew and welcome to Seven Forums.
If you access that folder from the C:\Users\(User-name)\My Documents location, then you can set each folder to have it's own separate folder views by default.
The Documents button on the dark right side of the Start Menu however opens to the Documents Library instead. These folder share the same folder views at this location and cannot be changed.
As a workaround, you can open My Documents from your User Folder button on the dark right side of the Start Menu instead. This opens to the C:\Users\(User-name)\My Documents location. To make it easier to select and open, have the Personal Folder (your user folder) set to Display as a menu.
Hope this helps,
I still don't get it. Being a long-time XP user, I'm used to customizing individual folders. With Windows 7, changing one folder changes all folders. For example, I have a folder on the Desktop named Games that has shortcuts to various games rather than having a lot of individual shortcuts on the desktop. I have no need for the Navigation Pane in this folder, but if I go to Organize | Layout and un-check Navigation Pane, I lose the navigation pane on all folders including Explorer.
I'm pretty sure there's a way to modify one folder and I'm just not understanding it.
Anyway, thanks for your time, Windows 7 Forums is a great resource!

The navigation pane is part of Explorer's window, not the folder. You are just going have to live with the navigation pane.

I'll try to explain as much as possible. I've used Microsoft Safety Scanner as some sites suggested. It detects 4 viruses in my computer. 2 of them are completely removed. Except 2, which is
TrojanSpy.WIn32 Banker (Partially removed)
and another one, I forgot what its name, but it shows partially removed, manual removal required.
I clicked the thingy and hopefully get the solution to manually remove, but it ended up showing me that the way to remove is using Microsoft Safety Scanner. Any ways to fix these both things?
EDIT: Nope, I don't want tweakbit (that software I saw on this site)

This morning I noticed in WLM 2011 that it takes 5-6 seconds to shift between folders in my email accounts. That's very slow considering before today, clicking on another folder brought up that folder immediately. Anyone else having this problem? I can't imagine what happened. I tried a repair, but the problem persists. Thanks.
Thought I'd add that I do not work a paging file--I had changed that when an update changed my settings back to using one and shutdown suddenly took 2-3 minutes.
Is there a similar setting somewhere that might cause the switching between mail folders to be so slow?

Hi all, I am new to Windows 7 and am having a problem with my setup.
My computer is used as a CAD station and connected to it is a 1 TB external (USB) drive with all my CAD files on it.
For some reason the folder that has all these files in it is set to read only (F:\NEW)
When I uncheck the box and click apply, everything seems to work though as soon as I click ok the folder reverts back to read only this is causing me a major problem as when using the CAD software (Solidworks) I cant save any changes made to exisiting files.
Has anyone got any ideas?
Hi Craig ! Welcome to SF !
You may have a try ( may be you have tried it). Right click on the folder, select properties (at the bottom of the context menu) . You will get the folder properties window.
In the folder properties window, at the bottom there is attributes. Uncheck Read only, apply and then ok .
Read-only File and Folder Attribute
If it does not work, you may take ownership of the folder using takeownership.zip . ( Unzip, double click install take ownership.reg to merge it with registry, right click on the target folder and click take ownership in the context menu. It will take a bit time depending the volume of the folder) .
Dont forget to post back what happened .
I have a folder full of screenshots organized in sub-folders. How do I make it so all the folder's and sub-folders' files (the JPGs) are using the Thumbnail list view and are arranged by name? Will new folders added the same view and sorting?
In 'My Computer' or 'Windows Explorer', if you have your folder set to Thumbnail view, Windows should remember it. Just to check, go to Tools, Folder Options, View, and make sure that "remember each folder's view setting" is checked.
But, Windows has a habit of forgetting these settings. It can only remember a limited amount. To increase this limit, run #2(Increase Folder View Size to 8000) at: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
Note: you will loose all previous settings.
Alphabetical, in 'Detail' view, click the 'Name' box. Windows should remember.

We've just upgraded out Exchange server to 2003 and a few of us are having problems with Outlook closing when we try to change folders. "Microsoft Outlook encountered a problem and needs to close. Sorry for the Inconvenience."
It doesn't happen every time, but after a few minutes, I can almost guarantee it will.
The Profile has been removed and another one created. It seems to have worked on most of the staff, but a few are still having this problem.
I've even tried starting in Safe mode and this doesn't help. Resetting folders didn't work either.
It also didn't matter if we started in Cache mode or not.
I'm open for thoughts and suggestions.
This has been corrected.
After everything was set up and new programs added to the Exchange server, some configurations changes were made to these programs (AntiVirus and GFI Spam program). It seems these changes required a reboot which did not take place until a week later, which also cleared up all of our problems.
My desktop has an SSD (C:) as the primary/boot drive and a 1TB HDD (E:). Because SSD's deteriorate with every write, I have tried to keep items that are constantly added to or deleted (working files) on the HDD. I just noticed today that the storage folder for my Windows Live Mail were on the SSD, so I changed them to the same location (/Users/(name)/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows Live Mail) on E:. However, strange thing happened when I did that. The Inbox emails all re-downloaded from Comcast's server. . . but the emails I SENT (Sent Items) did not all come over. I got only the sent emails from mid 2013 to the end of February 2014 on BOTH of my email accounts (personal and business).
Why? I looked into the old storage folders on C: and they're empty. What happened to the Sent Items after February 2014?!

I can change the size of a folder to be able to view all the icons in it, then close the folder when I am done. Half the time when I reopen a folder it has changed to a different size than what it was when I last opened it.

Any help would be deeply appreciated. Thanks...
I'm not sure how well this works. But it may be worth a try. Hold down the shift key while sizing the folder with the mouse. It may remember the size on next open. The other possibility is WinSize2 freeware. It remembers window sizes and can resize and position them as soon as they open.4 more replies
Originally my intention was to go the whole nine yards with WMC, ie, the dual digital TV tuners/PVR thing etc etc. However, I ended up getting a deal on a Sky+ box, so, long story short, I really just use it to play music and movies. I don't have an extensive picture library and so on, so I just get it to watch the \Music and \Movie directories. All the others have been removed from the watch-list and now I would like these other folders to die with dignity as far as the main interface is concerned. I don't want to have to go up (to Pictures) then across to Videos. I know this may seem as if I would be interested in hiring someone to do my breathing for me, and maybe I won't lose any sleep over it, but I would like to slim down the primary interface if it can be done.

However, i ran the scan and attached the results anywayThankyou for your help*** As an update***So as I explained in my other post I formatted my c: drive which seemed to fix the issue. But then when I plugged in the infected USB hard drive into my housemates vista laptop. The Recycler folder with the 686c1039.exe.exe inside reappeared. However, the laptop's virus checker popped up said there was a trojan and removed it. Now I have plugged the same hard drive back in the school computer and the recycler folder has not re appeared nor are my folders shortcuts.

Hello, I have recently undertaken to get my pictures folder all sorted out and I have got a couple of thousand pictures there. I have been trying to make individual folders within my folder in categories so that I can sort things.
The problem is that in each of these folders I have to keep clicking on "View" and then "Extra Large" over and over again. Isn't it supposed to stay like I put it without me having to re-tell it over and over? It keeps going back to the default size of the pictures.
It is quite frustrating and tiring to have to keep on re-setting the picture sizes for the hundredth time.
Go to C:\users\(your user name) and right click on the parent folder, say Pictures, and go to properties. Now click the customize tab. Now set the "Optimize this folder for" option to what you want and make sure to check the box for "Also apply this template to all subfolders" If you optimize for "Pictures" you should get large icons as the view. If you don't get what you want just go back and change it to something else.1 more replies
Please consider these two keys:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders]

What is the main difference between these?
I've changed first the keys under Shell Folders and then under User Shell Folders.
It was only until I'd changed those under User Shell Folders (after restarting the machine) did the changes take place.
Shell Folders seem not to be taking effect at all.

I seem to have made a typo the very first time I used this computer, back in October. In File Explorer, under Windows (C:) is a folder called "Users". In that folder are two subfolders, one called "Public" and the other called "Jphn" - because I apparently hit the "p" instead of the "o" and because of bad lighting or eye fatigue did not notice it in time.
So of course any time any piece of software has to identify or record the user, it records "Jphn". Question arising: is there any way to change that, or is it graven in stone for the life of this computer? My name is really "John" and not "Jphn" <G>.
Thanks for any enlightenment!
I don't think that's the correct way to change your account name. To change your account name:
Press the Windows key and X together or point to the bottom left corner of the screen and right-click.
In the menu that comes up click on Control Panel.
In the Control Panel, navigate to User Accounts and Family Safety-->User Accounts.
Click on Change your account name.
You will have to provide Administrator permission if you are not logged on as one.
Enter the name you want on the next screen and click the Change name box.
When i was creating a new account, i decided to name the new account 'Test'. Later on i renamed it to my name. The problem i have isn't a big problem but just a little annoying. It's still originally called 'Test' on the computer, for example, when my i'm entering my screensaver password, the user name will be displayed as 'Test'. Is there any way of actually changing it?
The easiest way I've found is just to make a new user account, move over any documents you want and then delete the old account.11 more replies
Hello, how would I go about changing the user name under the task manager? I have accidentally entered an undesired user name while installing Windows 7 and I managed to change the user name on the welcome screen to a desired name. To be in short, the name on the welcome screen is different from the name under the task manager. How do I fix this?
There is no simple way to do it. You can change the "welcome" name, but the profile doesn't change. If you want both changed, you could use either the "profile copy tool" or Windows Easy Transfer. It would basically mean backing up the existing profile, logging in as "Administrator," deleting the user entirely, recreating the user with the proper name, and restoring the profile into that user name.3 more replies
I'm setting up the first Win7 computer on our XP network. One problem remains. I need to access a printer on the server (Windows Server 2003) with a Net Use batch file to print from a legacy DOS app (I know...). I keep getting 'access denied'. Typing NET USER at a command prompt shows that this ONE guy has a two word user name (Joe Smith). Everyone else is just Mary or Tom. I can't make two names work in the batch file.

Vista is new to me. When I set this pc up I named the PC "MomPC" and somewhere in the set up as the admin I named me as the user/admin "Dad". It is my wife's PC so I decided to add a user name for her i.e. "Sue" and then change my name to a name "Mike". The problem is that while in the startup screen it gives a choice of Lisa or Dwight, when under the folders "USERS" it shows three folers Sue, Dad and Public.
I can not figure out how to change that folder. When going to this PC in a network it says //MomPC/Dad under users instead of my name. When just looking in the "explorer" menu under User folder it is also "Dad". My name is at the top folder but when you click on it in contacts it takes you to Dad.
Can someone tell me how to rename / restart the main folder for user #1 so that the PC will say "MomPC" as the name (as it does today) but the adminstrative user will say "Mike" for example. Today I have changed it in the properties.
I encountered similar problems during several Vista client calls during 2007. My experience is that you will not be able to change the folder names that contain the old user account name within your existing system. You must reformat the hard drive and reinstall Vista ? and start clean. I have found that during the initial Vista installation there are hundreds, if not thousands of folders and files, registry keys, data, and indexes that either contain the original user name or is associated with an assigned code (SID) and then protected by Vista?s User Access Control (UAC) feature. The SID is then used for folder/file ?permissions? (what you have access to and do not). Vista may allow you to change the user account name, but any file names containing the old name will remain.
The PC name and description can be changed via the Control Panel ?
?Computer Description? ? Start >> Control Panel >> Systems and Maintenance >> System >> Change Settings.
?Computer Name? - continue from ?Computer Description? - >> ?To rename this computer, click Change? >> Change. Enter the new name for the PC. Note that you will see the old name from time to time as it is kept in the system?s registry.
In addition, I would advise that you be careful when renaming user accounts and especially prudent should you change the account type (e.g., from Admin to Standard User or vice versa). I have seen a situation where the Administrator is dem... Read more

Hello all.
I have a laptop, XP PRO SP2. My user name is Alan, yet I was compiling some java work the other day and instead of saying C->docs+settings->alan
It says C->docs+settings->user.
Its not a major problem, however it would be nice to have it changed.
I do not particularly want to make a new account and transfer things over to it and delete the old one.
Any ideas?
When your account was first setup it had the name of "User" - then, at some point, it was changed to "Alan". Rather than change everything that references the account, Windows sticks with the original file folder name. The only way I know to fix this is:1) Rename the Alan account to something else2) Create a new account named Alan3) Use this link to transfer the stuff from the old profile to the new one: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=811151I've tried changing the name of an account and then changing the folder name to match it (in my XP VM) and while the change appears to be allowed, it results in a new profile with the new name. The old profile doesn't appear on the login screen either - so I'd recommend not doing this.2 more replies
I don't know why my computer started doing this but yesterday I was going through one of my folders and I noticed the sub folders all looked a little strange.

Hello everyone
I come with a question to which at this point I am not sure if there is an answer.
Back when I had Windows 7 I used Stardock IconPackager to change the icons on my pc, included the ones of the thumbnailed folders, and it worked quite well.
Since the program is not compatible with Win 10 I've been trying to do this manually but haven't been successful as of yet.
Spent all day reading the old threads on the Win7 Forums, and followed different methods, such as:
Folder Icon - Change Windows 7 Default Folder Icon - Windows 7 Help Forums
(but it only worked for empty folders or only in small, list or details view, just as the warning says).
Then I tried this more advanced one:
Folder Icon - Change Default Icon - Windows 7 Help Forums
and I think I've done everything correctly because if I use Resource Hacker to check imageres.dll under both System32 and Syswow64, the custom icon shows as you can see on the screen:
I replaced 3, 4, 5 (back), 6 (front) and 162 (full).
Obviously I have rebuilt the icon cache and used cleanup to delete old thumbnails and restarted.. It worked but weirdly, for instance I had my "Pictures" folder inside of which half folders had the new pink icon with thumbnails, and the remaining half didn't. What was weird was that if I opened one of those folders and did some change inside (rename, delete a picture) and went back, it would have reverted to the yellow default one.. :S
Tried re-rebuilding the cache etc but they didn... Read more
for the last 5 days all my folders on my windows 7 desktop have changed to general items, including those in my pictures library, music library, and my document library after I reboot the computer. there is quite a bit of information on this out there and dozens of fixes; sadly, none of them worked. these are my attempts that failed:
can you techies give me anything else to try?
edit: I logged off so my sister could log on to her UA and she goes into the same D: drive where we keep pictures we both use and her UA doesn't exhibit this problem in there or in any of her personal folders
This happens to me also from time to time, using Windows 7 Pro. ?Each account is supposed to save user preferences, correct? If so, is there a disk-cleaning utility that is deleting preference-saving file[s]? I'm asking because that happened to me during my Windows 95-98SE days, and wondering if such can happen within Windows 7. I'm going to watch and learn from the techs here.5 more replies
I intent to have all folders opened in explorer that contain prevailingly audio files to be viewed as tiles. I guess I already have seen this tweak somewhere but can't remember where...Anybody knows? Thanks.
Hello Anakunda,
You could use the tutorial below to set the audio folder with say a Music folder template to the view setting you like, then set that folder view to all folders with the same folder template (ex: Music).

Hope this helps,
Hi all,
Here's something that I hate. Tile view. I like icon view much better since they are smaller and pack closer together than tile view. The problem. I must change the folder view for each folder I come across that has not been changed previously and sometimes the view changes back to tile. Is there a registry fix I can implement to change the default from tile to icon? I can't seem to find anything like that anywhere so it either doesn't exist or can't be done. I'm thinking there just has to be a way to change this in one fell swoop instead of the constant, annoying folder by folder change. Thanks.
You can set your folder options for all folders in your system.
Open Explorer (aka My Computer) and open a folder of your choice
Use the View menu and set the "style" (Details, Icons, etc.)
Now use the Tools menu, Folder Options (see screenshots)
NOTE - Ensure the Remember each folder's view settings is check in Folder Options
You MAY be interested in the Folder Size plug-in
Is it possible to change the size and number of folders displayed, such as in My Documents, or My Pictures? Thanks.
in Windows Explorer go to the tool bar View and choose List or Details for smaller icons which are more visible2 more replies
Can I hot-swap a SATA II HDD out from Computer A into a properly configured SATA port in Computer B, then to access any files located under the "<driveletter>:/USERS/<username>/" folder and sub-folders by changing the permissions using a Computer B admin account (Which I don't see any problem with up to his point), but then, the permission change made to the HDD, will it cause problems when I return back to it's normal role as a Win7 system disk on Computer A seamlessly (yes it will obviously be booted normally, it does have a BOOT partition), or will these changes lead to problems. I've never done this and I'm just trigger-shy I think! I have to plug it straight into the MOBO via hot-swap PNP - IOW, I can't use a USB connector to attach as an external HDD. Any words of wisdom handy?
Thx in advance!
Hello everyone, I have had several folders with random numbers and letters on my computer for quite some time now. They're located in the C:\(Username)\App Data\Local folder. There's a few folders that have {FFF9808001018839} or something similar to that. When I click on them, they don't have anything in it. Some have another folder or two, but there's nothing in them either. I don't why they're on here or I should delete them or not.
I'd like to know what kind of folders are safe to have and what are not. I'm worried I may delete something that's important to my system. Before I delete anything, I do research online and I don't delete it unless I'm 100% sure that I have to. Some of things on here, may be from downloading music, programs, and videos. But none of them are on my computer any longer and I'm afraid there could be some things that shouldn't be on here.
(My computer is always running fine and there not affecting anything. It's just annoying to see all of them there and I would like to have my computer as clean as I could have it).
The other question or issue I have is that my computer seems to have the stock name on it. Three numbers and two letters. For instance my documents and files that I create are saved under C:\454HX\Documents\English Essay
That's not what it is of course, but it's similar. It's really annoying to have because it makes me feel like it's not personal. Yes, I know to go the Control Panel and Username and Account Settings. I have ch... Read more
The folders you are finding in the AppData folder are just temporary folders used for things such as installations. It won't do you any harm to delete 'em, obviously because they are empty, but it also won't harm you to just leave them. If you are worried, just make sure you have an Anti-Virus with Real-time scanning. Do a full scan with Malwarebytes too, its more effective than other solutions.
I do not understand your second problem much. Are you trying to say that your User account folder in C:/Users/ has a different name than your User name? And does your real proper User Name show up in the Control Panel?
This is a problem that has been happening for a while now.
When I click on My Computer I get the flashlight/hourglass looking for drives. this can sometimes take minutes. When I save/download files and change destination directory it does nothing and then after sometime it pops open the window to select directories. In IE if I type an address or click history dropdown it takes awhile to register and then enters the site (Firefox works fine). I feel these are all connected to one problem source but am unsure what it is. Another more recent problem that might or might not be related is that the system will freeze for a few seconds. I would like to try and FIX the problem so I can learn as oppose to just reinstalling just because its easier
What app/script does these things?...dropdown menus and drive selection search...maybe VB? I am unsure.

Anyways when i click say docs, it expands (in the left menu) automatically.
I dont want it to do that unless i click the + sign. Is there a way to fix this?
Do you have your system set to single click or double speed?
Also what is the make and type of mouse you have?
I recently set up a new Windows 7 machine and, when asked for the name to be given to the users folder, I let it use the default name USER. I set up an account with my name on it but the folder name is still USER. It's locked and Rename isn't listed in the options menu displayed when I right-click it. How can I change the folder name?
Open your Start Menu and left-click on the photo in the upper right corner. The Account panel will open and you will see the option to 'Change Account Name'.6 more replies
I am running Vista Home Basics, 32 bit, SP2, and have often the following problem.
When I log in as a normal user (not admin) and log-out or choose `switch user` I get a Black Screen of Death, in which the screen is 100% black. Not even a mouse pointer can be seen. The ONLY way out is to push the power button long enough to initiate a shut down (without switching off the PC).
This behavior is just for one user, and it does not happen all the some. Sometimes the log-off and/or change user just works as expected (black screen for a very short time, then I see the user selection screen).
Anything I can try to fix this problem? I also do not know what is so special about this one user, or what I need to do to reproduce this behavior...
Sounds like either a corrupt profile, or a program running in the background is hanging and blocking exit.
Check Event Viewer Application log and see if that gives any clues.
(Sorry if this is in the wrong area I cant find any area of this forums relating to user accounts).
So I changed my user account to the Windows 7 Super Admin account because I am easily annoyed when a computer tries to lock me out of areas :P I am completely okay with this and have no issues. However, many people keep telling me all about how this is a very bad thing to do, e.g. if I get a virus the virus has full control of my system. I dont disagree with this and I can understand it, I just find the benefits of super admin outweigh the risk considering I generally know what I am doing, how to avoid viruses, etc.
I have considered though swapping back to a regular admin account and enabling UAC, however there is so much data, programs installed, program preferences, etc stored on my user, last time I changed it was about a month before things were back to normal. Does anyone know how I could just change the permissions of my current account (the super admin account)?
I somehow doubt it is possible, considering this is the super admin account, if anyone instead knows of a good user migration tool that can transfer data from user to user that would also be great.
If you were to change the permissions which applied to your current account, you would effectively be changing the permissions for the system admin account. Anything executed or done as system admin would be within the confines of the set parameters, which may have an effect on certain applications, depending on how they are coded.
To draw comparison, its like having superuser and user in linux, and allowing su only to do what user can do, thus eliminating any possibility of using elevated permissions through su (su or sudo would still happen, superuser still exists, but permissions would be rejected)
It is slightly different with Windows 7, and it wouldn't be that drastic, but there are some processes I believe which rely on the system administrator account.
That being said, I'm not sure how you would go about stripping the Sytem Admin account of its power in the first place, or even if its possible.
I sounded much more helpful in my head than I actually was. Ah well :/
i got a question
how would i go transfering an account to the administrator account
i am saying this because on my other computer, their is an account called "user" for some weird reason and i have been under that without knowing until last time,
and now i want to move that account to the administrators where it should be... how would i do that?
What OS are you using? And I guess inorder to make an account as administrator one needs to have the necessary privileges. Therefore inorder to change an account to administrator one has to do so from the administrator's login...
If you are using Win XP then this link could be useful -

How can I make XP when booting, use a preferred user instead of defaulting to using a user that does not see my NIC or does not allow the current user to be surf with a message
Source userenv
error 1500
Windows cannot log you on because your profile cannot be loaded. Check that you are connected to the network, or that your network is functioning correctly. If this problem persists, contact your network administrator.
DETAIL - Incorrect function.
This message refers to a default user XP loads ' NT AUTHORITY\LOCAL SERVICE' which is not the normal user and thus gives basic privileges only and excludes the ability to surf..using my NIC
The user all my files are in is 'owner' how can I get XP to open the owner user file at boot and remember it
How many...and what profiles...are reflected in User Accounts in Control Panel?
hey...i installed windows today, and because i had a user folder already named "Üb3rh4x", it named my current user "Üb3rh4x.DYLAN-A49121529", and alot of programs wont let me use this directory for anything because it contains non ASCII characters. how can i change the name without screwing up my profile?
You can't as far as I am aware. Any manual attempt will corrupt Windows, if you are successful that is.
Create a new profile. Copy the important files over. Delete the old profile (via Control Panel)
I acquired a new PC which already had a local userid supplied by the vendor (without a password). I lieu of creating a new user which apparently requires I-net access as it requests an email address I chose to rename the one supplied by the vendor. that worked fine however, it did not change the folder under the Documents folder and their does not seem to be a way to rename it.
What is the best way of getting this corrected and still accomplishing my original objective?

Campervan Conversions
Vehicle Installations Campervan conversions came about after we noticed an ever increasing amount of VW transporters being booked in for electrical work. Our existing customers were asking us if we could carpet line their van, fit side windows, rock n roll beds and pop top roofs. Not wanting to turn work down, we completed these jobs with great success. We then purchased a couple of VW transporters ourselves and set about working on two full campervan conversions. We had such a positive response from everyone we showed the vans to, that we decided to take our conversions to the next level. We now have a full time served cabinet maker, fully qualified auto electrician, BMW trained body shop technician and valeter.
So if you are after a simple rear seat conversion, or a full blown custom designed campervan, between us, we have the knowledge and experience to complete your conversion within your budget. Our aim is to provide a one stop solution for all campervan requirements. We are always researching and developing our product range and options available.
We continually look for new ideas and products to solve customer's requirements and encourage the customer to give us as much input with the designs as possible.
Don't have your van yet?? Not a problem. Vehicle Installations offer a "van finder service". All you have to do is let us know your ideal make, model, specification and budget and we'll do the rest. Once your ideal vehicle has been purchased, we can even arrange a nationwide collection service, delivered straight to your home or to our workshop, ready for the conversion.
Please remember we are always here to help and give advice to the best of our knowledge in regards to your van/motor home conversion.

The special thing about this rig is that's not only a handheld rig, but also a steadycam.
That's an amazing concept but how well it serves our needs is a whole different story since the device that was merely a design concept at first is yet to be released.

Eight months have flown by. I haven't been keeping up so well in the written word department but it's okay because you and I talk every day in real life. I am interested in so many things underneath the sun, but nothing compares to you and the many ways you inspire me. You are my muse, you're most of the thoughts that I think, you're the smile on my lips, and you're my constant companion.
Other moms and dads of grown children have told me that they can't remember lots of things about their kids' infancy stage. It feels like I'll never forget anything about you but I'd be a fool to think my memory could keep everything straight. So here are a few things I hope to never forget:
You love to ride in the car. We drove for over 14 hours one weekend on a trip to the desert and you hardly cried at all. You even had a cold. You're a great traveler--so calm and content out on the open road. It seems like you like to look at the world going by your window.
Your dad is the bath guy since he gives the funnest baths. You love playing in the water. You laugh at dogs. You have one tooth that makes a crunching noise when you snack on Mum Mums rice crackers. You have never refused to eat anything I've fed you. You especially love sweet potatoes, carrots, bananas, and all fruit. You're less crazy about peas, but you'll still eat them. Slowly. You give amazing hugs and kisses. We weren't certain what color your eyes would be. They're bright and brown and beautiful. When you talk, you tell us things like "dadadadada", "babababa", "tssssst", "tsssdat". You like to dance. You put your arms out like an airplane when we dance with you. You are very in tune with your surroundings. You are incredibly responsive and sensitive to sounds and music. You are dexterous with your fingers and you love to tap on surfaces with objects. (Your dad does that all the time--mostly with his fingers on countertops and tabletops. Maybe you'll be a musician like he is.) You seem to be distrustful of public bathrooms and you're not sure if you like the vacuum. You let everyone hold you who wants to. You were okay meeting Santa. You weren't scared. You just sat on his lap and checked him out. You really liked the boy who sat on his lap before you. You reached out to him but he didn't reach back. You smile often and have very expressive eyes and eyebrow moves. When we go out, people usually say that you're "a beautiful boy". Your cheeks are also a massive hit with the public. You love to be outside and I'm pretty sure you'll love crawling. It seems like you'll be a crawler any day now.
It has not been hard being your mommy. It just hasn't. I know we'll go through difficult things as a family, but so far, it has been such a beautiful thing getting to know you and take care of you. You are a VERY easy baby. You sleep and eat well and you are generally very content. We really don't deserve such a great situation but we are so thankful that we have it.
During a small talk session, someone I didn't know well asked me how I like being a mom. It's so hard to do justice in responding to such a question. To give a small answer does a disservice, and any answer consisting of words just wouldn't work the way I'd want it to anyhow. I am not good enough at manipulating words so that EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS just how I feel about you. Anyway, I told this person something like, "there was no life before there was my son." He seemed sort've taken aback. I guess I did sound pretty dramatic, but it's just so hard to make someone understand how much better things are because of you. (And they were already pretty good to begin with.)
I love you and I'm so proud of you. Your dad feels the same. We're so happy we get to be in this thing for the long haul.

I admire and appreciate your taking the time to write your thoughts on Levi down. Don't stop! You'll be glad you captured it all.
Richest blessings,
I so appreciate how joyful your expression of love for Levi is. After getting married, I heard so many people tell me to enjoy married life before kids. Levi is just as fortunate to have you for a mommy as you are to have the great privilege of watching him grow up.

Is the current goal of the Tampa Bay Times to simply one-up Creative Loafing and not to actually be a news organization that reports on the Tampa Bay metro area the state of Florida, and the United States? Maybe the print version is more news-traditiona., but the online site and its top-story headlines (on TampaBay.com or TBO.com) are anything but.
Wednesday, July 18th screenshots of the two news portals give you a glance at just what is taking priority:
Call me biased, call me small-minded perhaps, but with so much happening in the world, so many items of substance that affect people, so many events of negative and positive in the day to day life within the Tampa Bay metro region, how the living hell is a sales item at Publix a priority for reporting?? Since when is an amateur food tour relevant on a mid-week day in the region?
I hate to bring him up, but the President's oft-used descriptive phrase is most fitting here: Fake news. What is being prioritized hee is closer to a distractive measure than actual relevant information.
While I cited Creative Loafing earlier in this piece, I'm not trying to fault the organization that offers a free weekly print paper. It's casual, it's leisurely. That's what it has always been there for and built up its reputation through. The Tampa Bay Times originally sought to counter it with tbt*. To do it with the main page headlines and top stories on two news portals though? To brush off informing local citizens about events, incidents and politics in the region, state and the world around them? Instead to put priority on day-to-day personal life and casual antics? That's a huge, huge step down from the respectable news organization the Times used to be.

yeah, so i thought i'd just put myself on in here too since i just checked my status and i have the ominous "Decision". Pretty damn sure that means that my rejection letter will be arriving soon but still (dilusionally) hopeful.
For those of you that say "Complete" after today's update...Mine said complete after yesterday's update, but when I checked it this morning it said "Decision" but still said it had only been updated yesterday. Weird. Other people have said that, too. No letter today and if they mail on Mondays, as is the rumor, it shouldn't have taken a WEEK to get to Alabama! This is making me insane!!

Hyperplasia of mammary glands HMG is common in middle-aged women. Danlu capsules DLCs can effectively relieve pain and improve clinical symptoms and are safe for treating HMG. However, the active substances in DLCs and the molecular mechanisms of DLCs in HMG remain unclear. This study identified the bioactive compounds and delineated the molecular targets and potential pathways of DLCs by using a systems pharmacology approach. The candidate compounds were retrieved from the traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology TCMSP database and analysis platform. Each candidate's druggability was analyzed according to its oral bioavailability and drug-likeness indices. The candidate proteins and genes were extracted in the TCMSP and UniProt Knowledgebase, respectively. The potential pathways associated with the genes were identified by performing gene enrichment analysis with DAVID Bioinformatics Resources 6.7. A total of 603 compounds were obtained from DLCs, and 39 compounds and 66 targets associated with HMG were obtained. Gene enrichment analysis yielded 10 significant pathways with 34 targets. The integrated HMG pathway revealed that DLCs probably act in patients with HMG through multiple mechanisms of anti-inflammation, analgesic effects, and hormonal regulation. This study provides novel insights into the mechanisms of DLCs in HMG, from the molecular level to the pathway level.
