I have a Windows 10 image backup from about 6 months ago that contains some code I need to recover.
The image backup was made on my prior PC, which has since suffered a catastrophic hard drive failure and was reimaged with Windows 10.
Is it possible to browse the old image backup and find and extract the folder(s) I need?
Simple, but ridiculously hard to find with Google if you don't know what to search for.
There are .vhdx files in the WindowsImageBackup folder
Find the .vhdx that represents the disk you want to mount/explore
Attach the .vhdx with diskpart or Disk Management
Assign a drive letter
Browse with File Explorer
Caveat: You might have to open a DOS cmd prompt in Admin mode and use diskpart to assign the drive a letter.

I was using Azure VM and my subscription was disabled. there were some files that I was working on in the last few days without backup on my local device. now I got a link to the machine VHD but it's too big and my connection is very slow. Is there is any way to download only my files from that link without downloading the whole file?
my file is almost 1 MB and the image is 127 GB. I know that the best solution is to make another subscription but I only have a pre-paid card now any they don't accept that
If you have VM's backup you can perform a file level restore. If you have 'just a link' to VHD file unfortunately there is nothing you can do to download single file - sorry.
I was able to map my sharepoint drive on my local computer (Note: this was not using the sync option on sharepoint, as I do not have access to do so). I am able to create new folders, however I am unable to rename it. When I try to rename the folder, I get the following message, regardless of how many characters I put:
I can change the file name from the sharepoint web portal, but not on my mapped network drive.
I am using Windows 10
I don't know if it's the same problem, but this guy got the same error message when he mapped the drive using a / at the end of the URL.
(i.e. he solved remapping: https://hostname.domain.com/Shared Documents
instead of: https://hostname.domain.com/Shared Documents/ )
I have tried copying the wwwroot directory from Windows Server 2012 R2 data center on Azure Cloud to Windows 8.1 over Remote Desktop Connection and FileZilla, and the copied folder size on Windows 8.1 is much less than the source folder on the server after copy operation completion.
The Source folder size is 683MB while the copied folder is 570MB. I have only found one close explanation for this on support.microsoft.com (support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2891362) which explains that this might be due to long paths that exceed the maximum allowable path length.
I would appreciate if anybody have experience on such matter to enlight me.
Thank you
A typical cause of these symptoms is that you have used an ascii/text transfer mode, so all CRLF line-endings got converted to CR only (one byte less for each line).
But you have provided way too little information, so we can only guess.
Download the directory tree back (to another folder) and compare against your original source folder.
Check if the problem is specific to a certain folder/file only or if all (or majority of) files got reduced proportionally.
I have a device that stores data in an FTP-accessible folder. I can connect to it through windows (ftp:10.19.1.101) and map drive to it (C:\Users#ME#\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Network Shortcuts\MyDevice). There are no usernames or passwords - if the device is attached, you have access.
i can click and drag the file in Windows. I want to automate that in VBA so I can process the file.
The single file is located at the root (ftp://10.19.1.101/fs.log), and I want to copy it to a location on my C drive to process it in Excel. I've tried for hours using code snips found here to no avail. I don't access the internet to get it, and I think that might be the problem, since 99% of FTP activity is that way.
FileCopy doesn't work either.
Any help appreciated
If you can access it and map it to a drive, open up a cmd then type 'net use' and hit enter (when it's plugged in and mapped to a drive). You should then have the long location used by windows which you can use in your procedures to play around with the file?

I am creating a Windows Phone 8 application. I have an image which is currently on my computer disk. I want to store that image in my isolated storage. The problem i am facing is that, that how i will load the image in my application so that i will store the image data in my isolated storage.
The problem is that, the image is located on my computer disk and when i attach the device and run the application it will try to find the file in local sandbox and hence i will get the exception.
System.Io.DirectoryNotFound
Any help will be great.
If I understand you correctly, you want to upload files from your computer to the isolated storage of your app?
I haven't tried it myself but you might want to take a look at Windows Phone Power Tools. According to their own site they let you "Upload / Download Files from IsolatedStorage".
Another option might be ISE (Isolated Storage Explorer).
If you want to access your files on your computer at runtime, I do not believe this is possible.
