  1. All my files say "The Parameter is Incorrect"


    Hi there, recently I've been having this problem with all my files saying "The parameter is incorrect" whenever I try to open them. I don't know why this is happening, and I've tried using the SFC and CHKDSK in the Command Prompt and they didn't work. I've also tried scanning my computer with my anti-virus but it didn't pick anything up, and I don't know what caused this in the first place, so if I could get any help, I'd appreciate it a lot. and by the way, I tried adding a picture of the error but it won't let me edit out some of the details so I can't put it here :

    :)

    parameter is incorrect

    Thanks for the suggestion, but no Excel installed (nor any plan to). Not sure how or if that would handle all subfolders, or how long the process would take, but I don't use Excel for anything, and can't see installing a bulky Office app on the system. The
    other downside I think *may* exist, would be that I'd have to either export all the data to a file, else use Excel each time a search is required.

    Looks like maybe I can use a batch job to build a list of all folders and subfolders, then independently list the files of interest within each folder into a single file. That should eliminate whatever causes the odd "parameter is incorrect" error.

    Thanks again for your responses. I appreciate your time.
