    Two folders of the same name in the same folder


    Hi All,

    Could someone please help me to understand if there is any problems with this.

    By accident, I just discovered one of my folders has two subfolders which are of exactly the same name, though their date stamps are different. It must have come about when I mass transfer my files from the working disk to this backup disk, which it should have merged the two folders together, but it apparent did not.

    Why can that happened ? Is there something to worry about? The names of the folders are only alphanumerics, no special characters.

    I tried to change the name of on the folder one character at the time to see if there are anything invisible that has corrupted the name, nothing seems to show.

    I can also move the folders in and out of their parent folder, without any challenges from Windows.

    Any idea.

    Mine is the latest Win 10 kept upated online automatically.

    :)

    Getting folder names and not location in VB .Net

    Hey guys,
    I'm getting a problem with my line of code and can't seem to find a workaround that works (all I can find is VB 6)

    Code: CheckedListBox1.Items.AddRange(IO.Directory.GetDirectories("my directory here"))[/quote] This deposits all folders locations into a list box but I only need the actual folder name
    e.g:

    Deposits: C:\Users\Onafets
    But all I want is "Onafets"

    Is there any way to do this?

    cheers

    Two folders of the same name in the same folder

    Hidden folders

    I installed `Kane and Lynch` on my PC twice in Program Files(x86) folder but I can`t find them (2 folders with game). But free space on my HDD is lower. So there`re those folders on my hdd. I use option `unhide` hidden folders but still can`t find them. Any suggestions? How can i delete those hidden folders?

    When I run istallation for this game I can see those folders in Program Files(x86) folde.

    I`m using Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
