    Editing files across devices


    Hi all,I am a new employee in a small food processing company. We have three computers that all have different log ins but we are looking to sync access to a specific folder across the 3 devices. I have done some Googling and just cannot understand how to have a single folder exist on each desktop that each computer can access so when I edit it on device 1, devices 2 and 3 have access to that edited document.

  2. Edit metadata autocomplete list for pictures/music files

    I cannot find a way to delete/edit the autocomplete list displayed when editing the metadata on pictures. I get a list of previous entries (some of which are just plain junk) and would like to delete those as suggestions. I tried the steps with the following
    link and did not have any success. I do not have a AUTOCOMPLETE listing under "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer".

    Editing files across devices

    After editing file changes aren't saved.

    Hi,

    Thank you for your reply.


    • Which account are you using? Is it Administrator account or standard account?
    I suggest you to login with Admin Account and create a new user account and try to edit the files.

    Refer the link below to add an account to the PC.

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows-10/getstarted-set-up-accounts

    If you don’t have admin account follow the steps below and check if it helps

    You can Enable the built in Administrator account in Windows 10, then create a local account.

    I suggest you to refer the steps below and check if it helps


    • Press Windows+ X, select
      Command Prompt
      , and then click Run as Administrator.

    • When you are prompted by User Account Control, click Continue.

    • At the command prompt, type net user administrator /active: yes, and then press Enter.

    • Type net user administrator
      <Password>
      , and then press Enter.

      Note In this command, <Password> represents the actual password that you want to set for the administrator account.

    • Type exit, and then press Enter.

    • Log off the current user account. And login and check the are you able to edit the files.


    Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.
