    Certain folders don't respond


    There is a folder named WindowsApps in C:\Program Files LOCATION which I was not able to open at all.It was not even responding to open option and double clicks.. Not even an "Access Denied" error. Nothing happens.


    I tried changing the permissions to change the owner but that doesnt seem to work either. I also realised that a similar folder is in the location D:.


    Why arent these folders responding at all?


    Also, I had a DeviceOptimisation folder which acted similarly located in D:. I changed the network file sharing path honestly, Idk what I did after which I was able to viewits contents. I did realise that it was full of useless caches and deletedit permanently.


    But yeah, one thing I am missing through these is the "Access Denied" dialogue box or the sorts. For both of those folders.

    There is literally no response at all from the WindowsApps folders, no matter what. Before tinkering with the network sharing options, this was the case for theDeviceOptimisation folder too.


    And yeah, the hovering message shows that its empty. This was also the case withDeviceOptimisation folder before I was able to open it. It had 6gb size which I viewed in the recycle bin but still showed to be empty.


    When I say no response, it means that when I double click or right click ->open/open in new window these files, nothing happens. Nothing opens, no flickers of the file manager window, nothing.


    Can I fix this? How?



    TIA. Help much appreciated.


    Note: I have used BOLD and ITALICS the folders WindowsApps and DeviceOptimisation and their pronouns respectively to be easily distinguishable. Hope it helps.

    :)

  3. Windows 7 Snipping Tool / (Screen Shots-Capture)

    1. In the Control Panel > Folder Options > View Tab first check ( tick ) the Show hidden files, folders and Drives and then Apply.
    2. Now navigate to C:\ Program Data \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Start Menu \ Program.
    3. Inside this Program folder , you will find the 'Accessories' folder.
    4. Drag and drop the Accessories Folder on your Start Menu or All programs.
    Did this work ?

    If all works again i suggest to go back to Step 1 and re-select Don`t show hidden files. folders and Drives then Apply. so you don`t accidentally delete some of these.
