Local settngs

[skghosh44]

Dear Firends,
I need your help. I cannot see the folder Local setting in the folder
Documents and Setting. In the Local setting folder there is also Temporary
folder where there is abount 600 MB of files are there. I wish to view the folder and want to delete some file. Also please note the view folder option is
" Show hidden file".

[slugger]

4 d location of local settings folder



anything in the temporary folder can/shud b deleated [unless u put sumthing there deliberately]

[skghosh44]

Dear,
When I try to find the folder "Local Setting" in c:\Document and setting\skg\
it shows the other folder eg. Apps, coocies, desktop,favorite, startmenu, usuer data, my document etc. but the local setting folder is not shown.
How can I get visible the folder.
Pl. note the folder option is "Show hidden file & folder".

[Vishal Gupta]

^^ Did u disable "Hide protected files/folders" option in "Tools -> Folder Options"?

[skghosh44]

I did not find the option "Hide protected files/folders" in "Tools -> Folder Options" My OS is Win XP without SP.

[rajdeepsingh86]

C:\Documents and Settings\skg\Local Settings\Temp


C:\Documents and Settings\skg\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files



enter these addresses in ur address bar and press enter. see if it works.

P.S- i believe that ur username is skg. if not, then change it accordingly.

[skghosh44]

rajdeepsingh86
yes it works. But why the folder is not visible.

[slugger]

me using win2k3 but
Tool>Folder option>View (tab) is similar



c d only box dat is unchecked, do it, and u will find d elusive folder visible @ all times

[skghosh44]

Slugger,
I have done as per your suggestion. But the problem is not solved.

[Choto Cheeta]

Just for a Test, Can u creat one folder name, Local Settings under this localtion ??

X:\Documents and Settings\User name\

???

[skghosh44]

Choto cheeta,
Yes I can make folder in that location.

[Choto Cheeta]

That means for some reason ur original Default OS created Directory is deleted !!

either Virus or By misstake some computer use has deleted it !!!

[slugger]

u sure it is unchecked 'cause if it is den u mst b able 2 c d local settings folder all d time with the temp folder

d whole post now has started smelling fishy [pun intended ]

[Choto Cheeta]

But test shows there is no folder on that name mate.... !!! that shows there is no such folder in his PC...

[skghosh44]

Choto Cheeta,

May be you are right, But now pl tell me hwo can I restore that folder
visible.

[rajdeepsingh86]

its not visible doesnt mean it has got deleted. thats not possible as skghosh44, can access the folders within it.


must have to do something with hidden files.

check ur folder options, and see if BOTH these options r ticked-
1.show hidden files and folders
2.hide protected operating system files(recommended)

[slugger]

den y is it dat wen rajdeepsingh86 asked him 2 type daddress in d address bar ghosh babu said da t is working
dat means dat d folder appears wen u type d add directly

so hes saying dat wen he followed ur advice and created d folder it was created, which contradicts his earlier statement

d00d i'm telling u deres something fishy going on, maybe hes just getting a kik outta watchin' people rack their brains off over a fictitious problem

[Choto Cheeta]

Try one more thing,

Do u see the folder in All Users Directory ?? or is that missing too ??

Try to run a command, sfc /scannow keep ur Windows Installation CD in hand see if that helps... !!! also if u re-install any application which places its files in that folder like Microsoft Office it will re-create the folder for u

Even u can manually re-creat it too,

Problem is restoring the File it contained !!!

U didnt get the point for which i asked him to run the test, see he can creat a same name folder on that directory !!! that means there is no such Dir named Local Settings

[skghosh44]

Slugger,
dear friend it is not fictitious problem. If I type in the address bar "C:\Documents & setting\user name\ local setting\" it displays page cannt be displayed. If I typed with the address as"C:\Documents & setting\user name\ local setting\ \Temporary Internet Files or history or Temp then it shows all the file in the sub folder "Temporary Internet Files", "History" or "Temp" under the DIR "local Setting". But the folder "Local Setting" he himself is not visible.
Today I ovserved that the same case in case folder
"Application Data"

I am sorry that as per your test I have done a mistake I have typed the
folder to create as "Local Setting" instead of "Local Settings". Today while I experimnting with the problem keeping in mind your suggestion, I wanted to
create a folder "Local Settings" and "Application Data", but both the folder cannnot be created with a warning Msg. " Cannot make folder as thereis already a system folder with the same name".
Hope now you guys can solve my problem.

Black and White Rs. 5/-
Color Rs. 15/-

Where do u see RS. 20 ??

wat help yaar, d guys response had so many holes in it dat even d pacific ocean wud have drained out of it in no time

May be that was the reason I asked him to run a simple test to see if even the folder is there or Not...

anyway, do u feel replying to a thread is a bad thing ?? I still dont get it why u commented,

tonite Choto Cheeta is going 2 shoot 1 soln after another and ghosh babus gonna say not working

U have any problems with the replies ?? u may post it, if u find any problems, as no one is perfect in every thing, there are tons of things that I dont know, feel free to please correct me where I am wrong... that will help me more than any thing as to know the correct thing !!!

[slugger]

nahi yaar y r u takin' offense
deres absolutly no issues wit d solns u were offering

i just got a feeling dat ghosh babu's problem was not geniune, i cud b wrong [i hope i am]

that it shows all the file in the folder "Temporary Internet Files"

if d parent dir does not exist den how is it dat it can show d content of a folder inside d non-existent folder


as 4 d printout charge, dunno wat i saw, but 5 buck also seem a little steep [jussssst an observation buddy]

[Choto Cheeta]

Thnx for explaining...

i just got a feeling dat ghosh babu's problem was not geniune, i cud b wrong [i hope i am]

Mind u even he would be glad if he finds it non geniune

anyway, As i said, just to check I asked him to see even if that folder exists or not !!!

As we can see now He can creat a same folder on that place, so it means the Local Settings folder is missing... !!!

Which seems quite unusual



as with Windows XP that IE Temp folder is in Local Settings... which the author can access

!!! even me is little confuse now

As if he can create Local Settings folder then There should not be any Internet Temp Folder and if there is Internet Explorer Temp folder, then Windows Will not allow him to creat that Local Settings folder there !!!

Any of those 2 is wrong, as both cant happen at once...



P.S. I think he is from Assam not a Bong

[rajdeepsingh86]

lolz. baaton baaton main baat nikal ati hai (one of my teacher says that)

mr.Ghosh ki problem solve karte karte, u two started agruing that was a result of some misunderstanding.

anyways, give it a rest now guys. i think the creator of the thread has logged off now.

will see what he says tomorrow. and then only suggest further actions.

The Problem is retty Wired...

C:\Documents and Settings\skg\Local Settings

That folder doesnt exist...

where as he can access,

C:\Documents and Settings\skg\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

!!!!!

[it_waaznt_me]

Try this :
Start > Run > %temp%
Press Enter

Your Temp directory should open .. Which is in your Documents and Settings folder .. By this you can find out what actually is your username and where your Local Settings are stored.. ..
