Windows Forum / Windows Vista / File Management / May 2008"FILE OR FOLDER DOES NOT EXIST"
I have seen several different people with this problem, so I am not the only one. I am running Windows Vista Ultimate, and everything was working fine, until one day I went to reorganize my music, and when I tried creating a new folder, it wouldn't let me rename it. "File or folder does not exist" pops up. This is quite frustrating, I have tried everyone's suggestions. They all fail. If anyone has found a way to fix this annoyance, that would be fantastic. p.s. I miss XP Where were you trying to create this folder? You can't create a folder in, or use the "My Music", "My documents", etc, as these aren't really folders. Use the Music folder under your login account, or under the Public account (if you want to share the music) > I have seen several different people with this problem, so I am not the > only [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > p.s.

Hi Everyone, This solution should fix the problem for you. http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/130137-cannot-rename-move-file-folder-vista-fi x.html Shawn SignatureBrink *There are no dumb questions, just the people that do not ask them.* '*Vista Forums*' (http://www.vistax64.com/index.php?referrerid=2980) *Please post feedback to help others.* Sadly this does not fix it on my machine. Lemme explain something different in my situation. This error ONLY occurs with network files (Desktop folder redirection, or network shares). I have ownership (in the case of the desktop redirection exclusive access) and am member of the administrators account. Local files are no problem at all. With the exception of a weird folder rename problem with permissions even tho I own the folder/files in question, but that is for another thread as it only happens with dvddecryptor.... Signaturebrokenmachine65 Please let me know if you get the answer of your question from some body because I also faced the same problem of renaming the folders on my desktop. Thanks a lot ! > I have seen several different people with this problem, so I am not the only > one. [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > p.s.

Does anyone have a solution now? Signaturerohitsarin18 I just ended up getting a new computer anyways. I really hope everyone can figure out why Vista is being so lame. nothing seemed to fix it. I love my macbook tho. > I have seen several different people with this problem, so I am not the only > one. [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > p.s.

I miss XP Hi brokenmachine65, Thank you for reminding me about the *Offline File* issue to. It has been added to the tutorial. Shawn SignatureBrink *There are no dumb questions, just the people that do not ask them.* '*Vista Forums*' (http://www.vistax64.com/index.php?referrerid=2980) *Please post feedback to help others.* Question then... Is there anyway to get offline files to work? Or is it just non-functional in Vista x64 Signaturebrokenmachine65 I'm not very familiar with using *Offline Files*, but maybe these links can help. 'Windows Vista Team Blog : Offline Files' (http://windowsvistablog.com/blogs/windowsvista/archive/2007/01/29/working-with-o ffline-files.aspx) and 'Windows Vista Help: Understanding offline files' (http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-us/help/93a550df-34cd-4497-85d0-8732 602f59591033.mspx) Hope they help, Shawn SignatureBrink *There are no dumb questions, just the people that do not ask them.* '*Vista Forums*' (http://www.vistax64.com/index.php?referrerid=2980) *Please post feedback to help others.* Where does my post keep going??? newbie showed up an admin, whoa! PM me if you want to know how to fix your problem w/o all that bull**** work posted above! Signaturejoecollins2 Joe.... What are you talking about? The file you suggest is the same file (diff name) as the above, the only difference is: 1) He posted newb instructions for the technically challenged 2) We pointed out that offline files must be disabled in certain situations (like mine) for the above mentioned files to have any effect. Signaturebrokenmachine65 When I download and click to merge the recommended .reg file, all it does is open a text file. I am not able to merge it into my registry. I have already tried every fix I have seen on the internet, and I have also downloaded and run both Registry Mechanic and RegCure. Nothing is working for me to eliminate this problem. If I wasn't stuck using MS Office, I would have already ordered a MacBook Air. This Vista o.s. is the worst p.o.s. since Windows 98.

Hi Tim, If this is opening a TXT file instead, then right click on the REG and click "Open With". Select "Registry Editor". If it not listed, then manually Browse to "C:\Windows\regedit.exe" and select the regedit.exe file. See if you can get to merge now for you.

Reboot I search this solution since many months on the web without no other solution!! And now it’s good for me … Bonne chance ! Jmg@be If all it's doing is opening a text file when you right click and choose merge then you have bigger issues with your PC that you need to look into. P.S. 98 was a very fast and stable platform for it's time, when I was using it I never, not once, had it crash on me and I ran it from late beta's all the way till XP. If you want crap look at Windows BoB or Windows Me. If you want a Mac then buy one, put some version of windows on it so you can run the programs everyone else has but be happy knowing you paid 3x for the right to say you own a mac :) Signaturebrokenmachine65 anyone can help or not with FILE OR FOLDER DOES NOT EXIT problem? Signatureliolia Liolia, I'm glad to hear that your REG file problem is fixed now. Have you tried this tutorial yet for the *FILE OR FOLDER DOES NOT EXIST* problem? http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/130137-cannot-rename-move-file-folder-vista-fi x.html Hope this helps, Shawn SignatureBrink *There are no dumb questions, just the people that do not ask them.* '*VISTA FORUMS*' (http://www.vistax64.com) *Please post feedback to help others.* |
