How do I delete/remove the "Error.error" file when the system says it is not there but it is?
The Error.error file was created somehow and I do not know why or how. However, the issue is the system has created this 0 byte file called "Error.error" and it cannot be deleted, even if I try a "permanent" delete command. It also will not allow me to delete any of the folder directory hierarchy in which is resides. When I do try create it, rename it, or create a physical file with the same name and extension, or try to delete this file directly or indirectly I receive the following error message:
"Could not find this item: This is no longer located in C:\maps\test. Verify the items location and try again." Then it list "Error.error" and its information. However, it is there visually.
Any thoughts or suggestions on how to remove or correct?
Thanks!
I had a very similar issue not too long ago where I had a file that was created by another program and whenever I tried to access or delete it, windows would give an error message like "...This is no longer located in...".
If you're having the same problem I was, here's how I got rid of the file. Start a command prompt. In the command prompt, enter a command like del "\\?\<full path to file>". So if your file name is "Error.error" and it is located in the folder "C:\maps\test", the command you would enter is
del "\\?\C:\maps\test\Error.error"
You can delete a folder that windows won't let you access in a similar way by changing the command from "del" to "rd /S".
If you don't know how to start a command prompt, simply click the start button and type "command". The start menu should offer an option named something like "Command Prompt - Desktop app". That's what you need to start.
I found a good explanation of what the "\\?\" means here.
I am trying to execute a .exe file (created in C), from VB code shell function. The same code can open notepad.exe without any problem. But when I am trying to start my program made in C, it gives a msg "cannot open the reference vector file."
then after pressing any key, it is showing the "Program has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." error report. Then it closes.
Searching the term "cannot open the reference vector file" gives no result. Kindly help me.
Note: "cannot open the reference vector file" error is being given in command prompt. Not from VB. Even when I start that exe from command line, same thing happpens. But by double click, the file runs perfect.
The C program is an OCR. It is created by others and they will not give me the source code. Presently it proceses all the images in a particullar folder and output the text files in another folder. But it can not process more than 12 image files, it just crashes. I am using VB for copying one image to that folder, then process it, then exit the programm. Then copy another and loop through this.
Browse a folder where the images reside.
copy one image into the processable folder.
Run the exe from shell () and extract the text.
close the exe
empty the processable folder.
LOOP it
I can find plenty of answers on the internet about how to open a specific file, e.g. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080102230630AAfu5dF
However, I need to provide a way of opening a non-specific file in a program called by a batch file.
To explain, here is an example. The user has a folder with 100 files in with the .xyz extension. He wants to be able to double click on ANY file and open it in his "XYZ Viewer," but to run his XYZ Viewer he needs to run a batch file that alters his registry and then runs the actual XYZ Viewer .exe.
If you select the batch file to be the default program via the "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" tickbox, it will open the program, but without using the standard Windows function of opening the file that instigating the running of the program.
Is there a way to run the program through the batch file and for it to both run the program and open whichever file it was that instigated the running of the program?
I suspect this is impossible, but any suggestions would be very gratefully received!
Cheers.
Edit:
The program does eventually support opening a file placed as an argument to it.
My code is
reg import c:\regent\31.2.03.reg
start C:\Program\Program.exe
Does the program eventually support opening a file placed as an argument to it? In the example you linked, mspaint opens the first parameter given to it.
If your batch file isn't currently doing this, you will have to edit it to contain the batch parameter(s).
See http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/percent.mspx?mfr=true for some fuller documentation on it.
Essentially you want to add %1 somewhere like:
reg import c:\regent\31.2.03.reg
start C:\Program\Program.exe %1
I have done some search but nothing same up really.
I have got a visio file, and when I double click and open it up, it open 5 copies of the document in same window and names them as format of filename:1, filename:2 and so on. they seem identical.
any idea Why this happens?
thanks for the help.

All the windows are showing the same file. When this file was saved there were multiple windows open. This workspace is saved with the file. When you reopen the file the same views are opened. To stop this close all but one window and then save the file.
I am trying to figure out how to start using SASS files in Dreamweaver.
The error message I get when trying to open is: "Can't find a valid editor for this file extension".
All my SASS files are valid and open well with Eclipse.
Thanks in advance to anyone who could post any tips on this one.
OK. I have found the answer.
All you need to do is open Dreamweaver, go to Edit> Preferences> File Types / Editors
and in the top text box ("Open in code view:") listing various files extensions add .sass.
That's it. Rest is down to haml and compass.
I hope this post will help anyone having similar problem.
To go even further and make Dreamweaver treat .scss files as .css files (applying code coloring and indentation), just follow the instructions on this Adobe TechNote
The visual28 link no longer works. Here is a quick rundown from here
DreamweaverCS?/Configuration/DocumentTypes/MMDocumentTypes.xml
If Windows change winfileextension="css" to winfileextension="css,scss"
If Mac change macfileextension="css" to macfileextension="css,scss"
For older Dreamweaver:
http://www.visual28.com/articles/less-scss-syntax-highlighting-in-dreamweaver
For Dreamweaver 5.5 and above:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/861133
instead to go in your installation directory to find the 'MMDocumentTypes.xml' file, GO to
C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver
CS5?\en_US\Configuration\DocumentTypes\MMDocumentTypes.xml
and then find winfileextension="css" and change it to winfileextension="css,scss"...
That would definitely work..
Update to the latest version of Dreamweaver
Ensure that ‘Show hidden files’ is enabled in Control Panel > Folder options
Open your user folder eg C:\users\Dylan\ replacing with your name
Then open AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS6/en_US/Configuration/
Open the file Extensions.txt
Replace the first line with the following:
HTM,HTML,SHTM,SHTML,HTA,HTC,XHTML,STM,SSI,JS,JSON,AS,ASC,ASR,XML,XSL,XSD,DTD,XSLT,RSS,RDF,LBI,DWT,ASP,ASA,ASPX,ASCX,ASMX,CONFIG,CS,CSS,LESS,SCSS,CFM,CFML,CFC,TLD,TXT,PHP,PHP3,PHP4,PHP5,PHP-DIST,PHTML,JSP,WML,TPL,LASSO,JSF,VB,VBS,VTM,VTML,INC,SQL,JAVA,EDML,MASTER,INFO,INSTALL,THEME,CONFIG,MODULE,PROFILE,ENGINE,SVG:All
Documents
Replace the following line:
CSS:Style Sheets
With
CSS,LESS,SCSS:Style Sheets
Save and exit the file
Go to the folder DocumentTypes
Open the file named MMDocumentTypes.xml
Replace the line beginning with:
=>documenttype id="CSS"
with
<documenttype id="CSS" internaltype="Text"
winfileextension="css,less,sass,scss" macfileextension="css"
file="Default.css" writebyteordermark="false" mimetype="text/css" >
Save and exit the file, and restart Dreamweaver
Syntax highlighting now works
