EDIT: I was writing this post when
@Hoggy posted the previous post. If you understand, and can follow his directions, PLEASE disregard everything after the first "1." If instructions with pictures are more helpful; follow the tutorial that follows. It (more or less) explains the steps
@Hoggy described for "unhiding" folders and files.
Hope all this makes some sense as I'm so tired as only got 3 hours of sleep and my brain is now warped
Sorry that you had a bad night; that does make for a rough day.
If you need a nap, or put this on hold for a bit; we certainly understand. No one trying to help you is in a rush. We only want to help you find a solution to this unusual behavior.
The more information you share; the more perplexed I get. I am hoping, the computer (Windows 10) literate participants of this thread, will be able to shed some understanding on all this.
OPEN QUESTIONS TO ALL WINDOWS 10 GURUS:
1. I can't stop fixating on the error message @ibndevilish posted in post #3247
]More specifically, the: "because it is being used by another process."
Isn't there something (like Task Manager, or ?) that could tell us "what else" is using that file? If it is known, what else is using DefaultOptions.xml, would that not give a clue as to what is going on? I found this Process Explorer (
here), and downloaded it, but I don't understand what I am looking at.
2. Twice now,
@ibndevilish has said that she has looked, and found nothing, in her AppData>]Roaming>JuiceCalculator folder:
In the pic it shows something about a roaming and I looked in that folder and it doesn't show anything for the juice calculator.
As for the roaming thing I even looked in that folder and the only thing in it is from Intel.
If this is correct, I would think there would be a LOT more problems, than just the "saving" issue. I have a boatload of stuff; both in the Roaming folder, AND in JuiceCalculator folder.
I see nothing relating to Intel (that she mentioned) in either location.
@ibndevilish, would you please do the following (exactly as described) for me?:
1. Open File Explorer.
2. In the left-hand column; find and select (single left click): Local Disk (C
(drive) in the left-hand column.
3. In the right-hand column; find and select (double left click): Users (folder)(note: surrounding folders may differ a bit depending on what all is installed on
your computer)
4. In the right-hand column; find and select (double left click): Denise (folder)(note: I never assigned a name to my computer; so the file is named "Owner." I doctored the following screenshot to read "Denise" for reference only)
This next step is critical! (and why I think you have not been seeing what we see)
5. Click on the "View" tab (along the top) and make
SURE the "Hidden items" box is
CHECKED:
(if this is unchecked; you will NOT be able to see the AppData folder!!!)
6. In the right-hand column; find and select (double left click): AppData (folder)
7. In the right-hand column; find and select (double left click): Roaming (folder)
8. In the right-hand column; find and select (double left click): JuiceCalculator (folder)
9. FINALLY, you should now be able to see the contents of the folder; which should look something like this:
