    problem with directory permissions / installation


    I run a piece of software called videopsalm. It was working fine for several months, then after a windows update it started having problems writing the temp files it needs. (unable to find/write temp files in documents subfolders)

    I've uninstalled it and I'm trying to reinstall and I'm getting the error:
    "an error occurred while trying to create the directory:
    C:\Users\Public\Documents\VidoePsalm"

    I believe this may be related to the previous problem.
    My user login is an administrator.
    From what I can see permissions appear to be correct, but I wouldn't rulw that out.

    Some threads I've read seem to suggest it might be something to do with OneDrive?

    :)

  2. Incorrect permissions on Windows Search directories

    Having a similar problem after installing the 1709 update (Outlook 2016 complains that search cannot be completed). I've tried the sfc solution suggested below and also rebuilt the index.

    Oddly the permissions on my Windows search data directory appear to be the same as on another machine where search works correctly.

  3. Incorrect permissions on Windows Search directories

    Update: Running a repair of my Office 2016 installation appears to have fixed the problem, at least for Outlook.

    Directory Size Utility

    First of all nice utility, Mindweaver!
    Second of all, it's so nice to see that this section ain't dead.

    I have a few questions/suggestions, maybe you'd want to see ...
    • maybe you rename Get Folder button caption to something more intuitive? Add Folder, Get Folder Size, Check Folder Size or something like that?
    • Could you add subfolder files to the right pane? (it can be a tickbox with include sub dirs)
    • maybe you also add export list to excel?
    • there's delete file button maybe you add delete folder button too?
    • and finally maybe you can add UP button for directories?
