Windows 10: Windows 11 won't allow to be to name a file the same as my folder. It instead sends me to...

Hi I work on a lot of different projects and when i save my projects, i save all the assets in a separate folder. Windows 11 makes it really complicated because instead of letting me just name the file the same as the folder, It sends me to the folder and won't allow me to just name it the same thing. It makes things a lot more complicated than it needs to be. Let me give an example of what i'm dealing with:I have this folder named beef then i try to name the file beef.mp4 It will not make the name beef.mp4 it will just keep sending me to the beef folder. Can someone please help me turn this o

Windows 10 search for a specific folder name and file name

Carlos: Thanks for your reply. What you suggest is what I have been doing. I search for folders with a specific name and get a list. Then I have to search each folder for a specific file. So it's a two step search and that's what I was trying to avoid.

I assume there are applications out there that allow for an "AND" search in Windows. I'll try that approach.

Thanks, again.

 

Folder won"t go away


I have a no longer used folder than I cannot delete. I have tried various third party apps to no avain. Any ideas how I can send this folder to "Never Never Land"

 

How could this be? File transfer wizard won't work

all right... networking is strange thing... go to the old computer and look at all your "file sharing" setups. Then you have to mirror the specs onto the new one.
If they say you dont have the ability to have access, that would mean that you are using a log in type of windows.. go into your Admin. and have the ability to share files from all accounts... if you don't have this problem, then just go to network settings and make it to where you can share that folder... Then when you have it, throw a pic or something into the folder.

Step by Step.
1. Look at admin. to see if your allowing file sharing.
2. Make sure you are file sharing for everyone in your network.
3. Go into your network folder and see if you are allowing through that.
4. Drop something in your share folder
5. see if it is visible for both computers.
