Short of booting into another OS, you can enable the Linux subsystem for Windows and use Bash, but it’s CLI not GUI. If you regularly find yourself in the need to copy from this folder though you...
Try entering it into an elevated command prompt. It is bound to fail though if NavyLCDR’s suggestion didn’t work.
Ahh, the Steam folder. Yes, everybody has been having permission problems with this lately. Is this the folder you are trying to delete?
Do TairikuOkami’s suggestion first. If that for some reason...
Some useful SID related functions for script use. Also demonstrates how to retrieve SID information from .NET instead of WMI.
function Get-SidFromName ($user) {

Hi JustinWuB,
The iCloud photo stream icon can easily be removed from This PC by deleting the following registry key.

Hi Hass123,
If a program is locking the item you’ll need to identify and stop the program before you can delete the item.
If it is a permission problem, please post the permissions for the item...
I think this is an appropriate place to dump some of my notes and observations on the topic. Hopefully some will find this helpful.
In summary,
If Password Protected Sharing is on, the builtin...
X.bat should clear the console screen, like cls, and that’s all it will do. It will not change the current directory because .bat files will be executed as a sub process in cmd.exe (as the...
Well there’s your problem. The dollar symbol is used to denote a variable in PowerShell.
If you want to run that batch file with that special symbol in it, you’ll need to explicitly tell...
CWGilley, could you elaborate?
If I have a folder “C:\Utilities” in the path variable with batch and powershell scripts in it, I can specify just the name of the batch or powershell script in a...
That’s strange. There’s no reason this should work.
I could find anyone with a similar issue and I’m unsure of what to suggest other than to set up the HomeGroup again to see if the issue fixes...
Windows is a very different beast to tame than Linux.
If you’re more comfortable with it you can run bash shell scripts on Windows you know.
But good on you for wanting to picking up the new...
I’ve always created shares using Advanced Sharing through the Properties.
Could you elaborate what you mean by “sharing with the homegroup”?
When you set up HomeGroup you create special public...
Jimbo45, you said it yourself: symbolic links. Use the command prompt’s mklink command to create them.
Hi Jnich,
There are two ways you should approach this string splitting: by using the second parameter of the .Split() method, or by using the -split operator.
The .Split() .NET method of the...
Hmm, I’m not sure why.
So it’s only the folders under your Documents directory that Windows refuses to create a share for, right?
What happens if you try to create the share through the command...
So any folder under Documents you try to share yields this message?
I was able to replicate this dialogue after adjusting permissions so I reckon that may be the problem. Post the permission...
Well I guess we all missed it too. May indicate how reliable most of us perceive the Explorer search to be.
I have a folder “C:\Users\Pyprohly\Desktop\x\q”. If I navigate to “x” and search “f”,...
We are talking about network shares I assume.
I’m unable discern an error message like “the folder cannot be shared”. Would you be able to quote the message exactly or post a screenshot of it?
Things should be easy as there’s no network. You just need to configure the NTFS permissions to how you want them.
Ok I tried this. I've unshared the drive, and all the groups under security...
I know how your method works. If the OP wants the source location to be at the root folder I encourage him to do just that by using my line.
Get-ChildItem 'D:\' -Include '*.mp3' -Recurse |...
No, the problem is there's just computer A, but users A and B on the same computer want full access to a common folder so they can 'share' documents.[/QUOTE]
I wonder what the networking talk is...
I’m not sure what important fact you are desperately trying to point out to me.
Your method relies on the current directory for the starting path. True, you didn’t have to type out this path but...
Therog1, so you have computer A that is sharing D:\ and you want access to this remotely from computer B, but are struggling with the permissions. On computer A you need to ensure the permissions for...
Multiple source directories and recursive? Okay:
Get-ChildItem 'C:\source1', 'C:\folder\source2', 'C:\some\folder\source3' -Include '*.mp3' -Recurse | Copy-Item -Destination 'C:\destination'
