Why does the briefcase in the USB drive become a folder and cannot be updated?

Understand, all you have to do is to sync the USB drive on two computers. It should be fine. I'll keep an eye on it as well.

I'll give you a reference to see that he's talking about floppy disks, and we're all using USB disks now. Hehe, let's refer to it.

Many of my friends often travel for the office, so that the files in the laptop and the office computer cannot be updated in time. And the update method is to re-copy and overwrite the original file, which is too troublesome. Recently, I found that Windows itself comes with several ways to synchronize updates, I hope it will be helpful to you.

1 First, synchronize files with a briefcase.

If you want to modify these files at home or on the go, you can use Briefcase to save an updated version of the file.

To use Briefcase, drag a file from your computer's shared folder to the Briefcase icon on your laptop's system desktop. When you're done using the files in your laptop, reconnect to your computer, and then click Update All in Briefcase to automatically update the files on your computer, that is, replace the unmodified files on your computer with the files that have been modified in the Briefcase. The files on the computer are updated automatically, and users don't have to move out of the Briefcase to modify files or delete existing copies.

1 Second, use a floppy disk to keep files in sync.

1.Insert a floppy disk in your computer's drive.

2.Copy the file to the Briefcase. You can drag a file onto the My Briefcase icon on your desktop.

3.Move the Briefcase to a floppy disk.

4.Insert the floppy disk in the laptop's drive, and then in the "Briefcase" Chinese file.

5.If you want to keep your files in sync, reinsert the floppy disk containing the Briefcase in your computer's drive, and then double-click the My Briefcase icon.

6.In the menu of Briefcase, click Update All. Or select the file you want to update, and then click Update Selection.

1 Third, keep the files in sync on the connected computer.

1.Copy the shared folder on your computer to your laptop's Briefcase. You can drag a file onto the My Briefcase icon on your desktop.

2.You can modify the file in your laptop. It will disconnect from the computer.

3.When you're done modifying the file, connect the two computers and double-click the "My Briefcase" icon.

4.On the Briefcase menu, click Update All or click the file you want to update, and then click Update Selection.

Note: When you copy files from your computer to Briefcase, the two computers must be connected by a network or cable. If Windows doesn't have My Briefcase installed, you can double-click the Add Remove Programs icon in Control Panel to install it.

This is a manifestation of the chaotic logical relationship in your "briefcase". According to your description, I guess you use the "briefcase" function in this way: you have the source file A on your machine, and you have created a "Briefcase X" on the hard disk, in which a copy of A is saved, A1, but a copy of A is set up on another USB flash drive or laptop, in which a copy of A is saved A2, and this time when you want to update between A1 and A, the system finds that there is a copy A2 that does not know in **, of course it will not allow you to update at will, Otherwise, the system itself will be confused.

According to my experience and understanding, the briefcase is actually a special file directory, but all documents in this special directory are identified and time-stamped by the system, and when the briefcase finds the corresponding file in the system, it will make a comparison and replace the old file with the newer file. It's designed to sync documents between mobile and fixed devices to keep them consistent. Therefore, there is no very complex file comparison and identification, and it cannot adapt to complex logical correspondence.

It can be seen that we should use the briefcase as much as possible "one-to-one", a source file corresponds to a copy, and a briefcase corresponds to a machine. Otherwise, the logical correspondence of the briefcase will be messed up. Not only will it be messy, but so will we.

It's good to have fewer files to process, but when there are more files to process, how do you know which is the latest between A, A1, and A2? From this example, the briefcase built on the hard disk is actually unnecessary, and the middleware you want to keep can be used in another way. And once there is a major change to the machine where the source file is located, such as a redo system, the comparison mark of the briefcase is gone, so the briefcase becomes a normal folder and loses its functionality.

So, don't rely too much on the briefcase, and update the file as soon as possible if there is a change to prevent accidents, hehe.

Of course, for the problem you are currently encountering, I suggest that you deal with it like this: open the latest file that you have identified, save another document, delete all the previous middleware, and keep only the one you have saved. The content is the same, but the identification mark of the briefcase has been removed, and this impasse will not be caused.

Anyway, the data content is there, just create a new one and copy the content to it.

If you don't know if you can copy it, you can try it with easyrecovery.

Right-click on it and select Properties - Custom - Change Icon - Select Briefcase or None Or.

Create a briefcase on the USB disk, the name is arbitrary, open the briefcase, copy the files and folders to be synchronized on the computer to the briefcase, so that the files of the computer and the files of the USB flash drive briefcase establish a synchronization relationship, whether it is modified computer files or briefcase files, every time the synchronization is updated, the latest file will cover the old file, and the unchanged file will not change.

When updating, open the USB flash drive briefcase and click Update All under the Briefcase menu item.

The update time is the same as the copy file, and if there are more than 100 changes per day, there will be more than 100 updates.

Folder exe virus is also a common virus, the full name is , and there are many variants of this virus, the general antivirus software will not prompt, you can only use the folder exe virus killing tool.

Use 360 antivirus or win7's built-in antivirus MSE to run a full scan and remove the virus.

After inserting the USB flash drive into the computer, it will tamper with the properties of the original folder to make it "disappear", and at the same time automatically generate an exe folder with the same name, and create a and, when accidentally clicking on this folder, the virus is activated.

The virus does not have the ability to change folders into files, but simply replaces all of the original folders"system"with"Hidden"The attribute is hidden, and the system's visible and hidden function is invalidated, and all the virus file names are set to folder names, and the icons also use the folder icon, so that only the virus files with the folder icon can be seen.

I've been doing server security maintenance for many years, so let's just talk about the core points.

USB flash drive, removable hard disk folder becomes an application. This is a worm (exe, lnk shortcut, more common).

Don't copy it out, format the USB flash drive (because the copy is just a disguised file.) ）

In fact, this virus disguises the source file as an exe file and deliberately clicks on it by the user to avoid infecting the computer.

You can try the folder settings to show the hidden files (if they do, basically don't be afraid, not stubborn) and ordinary antivirus software can recover these. If you can't find the antivirus file, I have a special repair command here.

The stubborn thing is that even if the virus is killed and the USB flash drive is plugged in again, it will be infected again. This kind of don't use anything to kill that specially, you can manually create a new txt file, drag this exe into it, and then analyze it (ordinary programmers can understand) to find the parent virus storage location. Just interrupt the breakdown.

Or change the file name, or change it to txt, and back it up to avoid deletion mistakes.

Just kill it again at the end. Whether it's an intranet or an extranet, these viruses can be completely **, and I've never missed it. (Ransomware and watermark encryption are not included.) Not that powerful)

The USB flash drive folder becomes an exe recovery.

There may be a couple of points:

One: When installing the program, the program was installed in the USB flash drive;

2: The AU virus is in the USB flash drive.

3. The computer is infected by a virus.

Solution: If there is no important information, it is better to format it.

Let the computer and the USB flash drive files with the same name be updated synchronously, and the briefcase is of course easy to use. The method steps are:

1. Create a new folder A in the USB flash drive, put the files that need to be updated frequently, and copy them.

2. Open "My Briefcase" on your computer and right-click "Paste". In this way, folder A in the USB flash drive is copied to "My Briefcase" on the computer.

3. When the A folder of the USB flash drive has been updated, after plugging in the USB flash drive in the computer, right-click "My Briefcase" and select "Update", then the A folder in the computer will be updated synchronously, and all the contents of the A folder will be exactly the same as the USB flash drive.

The "Briefcase" component on Windows is designed to meet the requirements you described, keeping the off-site files in sync with the files on the local machine.

Your operation to build a briefcase is indeed wrong. The right thing to do should be to build a briefcase on a mobile carrier. For example, if you want to open a USB flash drive, you should right-click in the blank space of the open USB flash drive interface to create a briefcase, which you can rename at will, such as "company letter" and so on.

Once you've created a new briefcase, open the folder on your company computer, drag and drop the files or folders you want to keep in sync onto the briefcase interface, and you'll see how to create a copy. In this way, a copy of the original document is established in the briefcase of the USB flash drive, and this copy is inserted back into the original machine and selected to update it after being inserted back into the original machine, and the old version is replaced with the latest version.

I hope it can help you, if you have any questions, please continue to ask.
