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

<< < (4/7) > >>

Shane:
The extra folders I am not worried about as those could have simply been created as normal folders. First thing is to try and fix the error you get. And yes you add the file extentions in the local internet where you added your computer name.

Read what I put, instead of .psf there you will do the documents that are giving you trouble, like .doc or .xls and such.

Racco:
I want to be clear, are you saying I need go back in there and do .doc, .xls, .ppt, etc?  Any file gets that reception though, even dll's, I tried moving one and it did not work.

Did you read my note about the alternate user I created?

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.

Hi Shane, is he using the adinistrator account and also take ownership rights :)

Racco:
Shane, I've added all the "dot extensions" I could think of (attached), however, no joy.
I am beginning to wane on my problem. 
I went to http://partedmagic.com/ and bought the app in order to take an eraser to my SSD and start over again. 
I also downloaded http://sourceforge.net/projects/unetbootin/?source=pdlp

So I will boot from a flash drive, wipe the Device clean and spend next week reloading the W7 OS and all my programs.

I think I created this problem when I used somebody's funky process to point "My Documents" from C: to E:
One important question:  Can you tell me, what sold process I need to use to make this pointer next time I have finished loading the system.

I want All My Programs to be in the SSD (C:)
All My Documents ARE already in a Hard Drive in E:  So, I just need to create the pointer.

Shane:
Have you tried disabling Windows defender to see if that fixes it? I am curious if it is defender causing the problem.
