Dear Network Nerd Herd: Help! I know this can be done, I just don't know how to Re-Map hidden directories...

When I had to reload Windows XP program, it lost the address to "My Documents" (old), so that when you now click on "My Documents" (new) it is of course empty. I did not panic though, because I know all my million-and-one documents are still on the hard drive-- it was not erased or reformated or anything--it is just that they are temporarily "lost" because the icon no longer points to them. When I trace the path thru C:\Documents %26amp; Settings/etc., and click on the old "My Documents" it says I am not allowed to get in. Yet I was and still am the only System Administrator on the PC! I know all my old Word documents are still there because when I ran the free On Track Easy Recovery Professional software, it showed my entire former line up of subdirectories with all the various named documents I am looking for therein. The only trouble is, they want $200.00 (two hundred smackers) just for the right to re-save them all in the current (empty) "My Documents" folder. How do I re-map?

lol, I like the request.





on the off chance that you may be wrong about the administrator thing what username are you logging in under?





If you are logging in under the username "Administrator" than you are truly system administrator. If not, than you have only user powers and that would explain the restriction.





If this is not the case the best solution is using a boot up CD.


I reccommend one of the boot up versions of Linux, the OS comes as small as 1.44MB, and it still has a GUI ^_^

Will garmin mapsource city navigator north america maps download onto my etrex vista c?

Garmin lists City Nav NA as an accessory for the Vista C on their web page at https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=... (on the maps tab).





The unit description includes the ability to create routes in real time that is one of the features of City Nav

Hi! How do I open a file in C and create one if it doesn't exist?

I have a problem with creating a file in C. I would like to open existing file (or create one if it doesn't exist) and write something into it:


/* open the file */


if ((shfd = open(argv[2], O_CREAT | O_RDWR, 0677)) %26lt; 0)


my_error("open failed");


/* map a portion of the file to buffer in memory */


if ((mem = mmap(0,SIZE,PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, shfd, 0)) == (void *)-1)


my_error("mmap failed");


sprintf(mem, "%d", getpid());


However, when the file doesn't exist and is created, its empty, and I get "bus error" message at the last line... If I try to write something to the file that already exists and is empty, I get the same message. If it exists and is not empty, it works fine...


Could anyone please help? I would really appreciate any help, since I don't know why I'm getting that error...





Thanks a lot for your time.

Hi! How do I open a file in C and create one if it doesn't exist?
You can't extend a file with mmap(). You can map


memory that you might write into, but when you close


or fsync the file, it will NOT be extended.





The historical way to do this is to lseek to the position


you want and write a single byte. The filesystem will


arrange that the intervening bytes will look like zeros.





I've modified your program snippet to open a file,


mmap it, and scribble in a bunch of bytes -- while


preserving whatever is there. It's not particularly


clever, but it should show most of the details you're


looking for. You can contact me through YA if you


have questions.

Reply:Hmmm, I dont follow how you are trying to do it but this is how I always do it.





void main()


{


FILE *Pfile;


char FileName[] = "nameoffile";


char buffer[];





//open file or create if it doesnt exsist


Pfile = fopen(FileName, "w"); // w = open for write


// r = open for read


// wb = open binary for write


//fill buffer with what you want to write to file


strcat(buffer, "stuff you want to add to file");


//write buffer to the file


fwrite(%26amp;buffer, strlen(buffer), 1, Pfile);


//DONT forget to close the file when done!!


fclose(Pfile);


}
