Windows Security refuses to let me move my documents within the same folder

<< < (3/7) > >>

Racco:
Okay, is the name enough or should I use the IP Address?  Also shown is the screen prior.
I still don't have permission somehow, so nothing has changed in the behavior.
One more observation if I may, I have noticed that every single file I open has this service in it (Thumbs).  Deleting is not an option (I can't delete them).

Racco:
One more thought; I created a second user in this machine to see if this problem existed there and it doesn't.  Moving files works seamlessly there.  If my root profile is somehow corrupted, is there a way to find out how?

Racco:
On further checking I found my original profile has somehow procreated 3 "Documents."  Something in the pointing from Drive :C/ to :E/ is FUBARed.  Can you point me to a way to fix the issue?  I expanded all the libraries and they showed this (the first attachment, called "The Expanded Libraries").  When I expanded the "Documents" in the Documents file, I found what is shown on the second image, "Copies of Documents."

Thanks for the help.

Shane:
Thumbs.db is a noraml system file Windows makes when it shows the pictures as icons. So you can ignore those.

As for the new user profile, that means where ever the problem is on your profile it is going to be under the hkey_current_user section for it.

So at least we know it will be under that section somewhere. I havent ever had a system do this so I dont know the answer off the top of my head.

From what I can find this is a windows defender problem, and one way to get around it is to add the file types to the section I had you do earlier.


--- Quote ---This is caused by Windows Defender and is a problem inside Windows itself (fails to detect local intranet properly). One solution is to disable Defender but that's not a good solution. Here's the better one:

Type inetcpl.cpl in the 'Run' box or go to Control Panel > Internet Options

Open Security tab

Go to 'Local Intranet'

Click on 'Sites'

Click on 'Advanced'

type ".psf" (no quotes) into the 'Add this website to the zone' and press 'Add'

Close out.

.psf is a file type, so you would do .doc and then .xdoc and so on for each one that is giving you the message.

May be it was someone else you talked about psf files, not me.  I did as you described in that message but I do not know what that does for my situation.  It does not kill the 3 document folders I have.  Am I misunderstanding something?  What come sfater I put psf i my local internet ...?
