I've had a problem this year with the bookmarks bar "vanishing" from Chrome, and I've assumed it is because Chrome has updated again (it does that so often that I don't notice half the time).
Then suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I saw Chrome "jerk" and a quick look shows the Bookmark bar is gone. Hah! Seen it at last...now, lets just get it back...
...but why hasn't my app built like I asked...by pressing...CTRL+SHIFT+B...for "bookmark" perhaps?
Yep: the VS "Build" key sequence toggles the bookmarks bar in Chrome if I don't look at where I'm sending it.
Wonder how long I've been doing that...all along I assume.

I don't really use the bookmarks bar (in FF or Chrome), I use the bookmarks menu (in FF), and I only use Chrome for testing various web pages I am experimenting on and learning with (I hate JavaScript).

And a very Merry Christmas to you (and all UpsideDown CPians) from me.

They had salad, with foie gras, followed by steak, with mashed potatoes and truffles, and then a chocolate log.
And this was for kids under 10.
Got to laugh at this country, it is nuts, One quesiton though, I wonder if they served the 94 or 96 Lafite with the main course?

Good grief! The Philistines!
Mash with steak? Fries, surely!

Its not even nice mash, the French make it way too runny. Anyway, it should have been dauphinoise.
|

|

Agreed - good mash should be smooth but firm - it has to contain the gravy, after all!

It's a wonder French children don't die of atherosclerosis[^] before they reach puberty.

They do!

You never heard then that despite their high fat intake they have very low levels of obesity and cardiovascular disease. Its the French paradox.
Its funny the eay they are bought up here, food really is a important part of their world. Personally I dont much like foie gras, home made chicken liver pate is way nicer, and truffles I really dislike actualy, they just give the dish an overriding flavour of dank mouldy basements.

I have a Samsung Galaxy from AT&T which has been duly unlocked with AT&T provided network code when in US. Currently it is using a BSNL Mobile in India.
1) If this phone is factory reset to clean up the junk in it, would it again lock-itself?
2) If that is the case would the older unlock code can be used again?
3) Even if the older unlock code is applicable, would unlocking be possible from India? I am not sure whether during unlock it would reach the network (and can reach AT&T from India through another operator)

iMac running Win7 via BootCamp. A couple of months ago, I merged some directories and I deleted the one I no longer needed. I can't explain why but every now and then the directory I deleted keeps reappearing! 
I kid not. I've tried deleting it using Shift-Del. I've also deleted it and cleaned the recycle bin. This has happened about four or five times. I've done a complete defrag in the hope that any sectors the directory might have used are hopefully overwritten by other objects. I've never restored it so once deleted it should stay deleted, no?
1. The name of the directory is not Lazarus.
2. I don't do drugs.
Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening?
Edit: I should add that the directory contained minidump file I created using C#. There's no media player or other ripped file involved which is what t'internet is pointing at. In short, it's a file I created and has no value to anything on my machine. I'm happy it's not malware or virus related as my machine wears a condom for protection. Really puzzling.

Is that a Windows minidump? It's possible Windows is recreating the folder, if you've got it set to automatically create a minidump.

It was created using code in a small app in response to a divide / 0 test. The app was simply to see if I could create one and there's certainly no automated aspect to it. The last time I actually ran the app was about three months ago and it wasn't long afterwards that it started coming back to haunt me.
I also thought there might be restore point issues but, no, I've not backed out anything that might fall back on one and nothng in the last three weeks or so.

What's the path to the file?
Do you use any mirroring or backup software that might have taken a liking to it?

It's a normal C: drive path into a directory I created so it's not into one of those murky, slimy system-type folders maintained by Win 7.
No backup software or mirroring either. To all intents it's just a user created folder. It's because everything is oh-so boring traditional that makes it even more perplexing. Right now, it's not there but in a few days to two weeks it will be.

I've frequently had directories reappear after deleteing.
The thing is, they never got deleted from the get-go. Explorere showed them as deleted, briefly, but then said Oops! No, it isn't.
Well, it didn't actually say anything. Didn't even bother sending up a message box about it.
The reason? A hidden file in the directory. Explorer got confused because it wasn't set to show hidden files, so didn't notice there was one there...
Another thing you could look for is something using that directory. Easy check: rename it. If it renames with no problem, try deleting it with the new name.

I have to use that trick a lot. We have a diagnostic tool that gets updated frequently that I post on a network share. Even though I plead with people to copy the .EXE and run it locally, there's always someone running it directly from the share. I then rename TraceViewer.exe to TraceViewer_StopRunningMeFromTheDamnNetwork.exe, post the new version, and delete the other one later.

Would setting file permissions on the share so that Joe Luser couldn't execute anything in that folder help; or would the deny just get carried when he copied it to his local system?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

This share is for tools we use all over the place. Most of the stuff in it are single-EXE installers. Those don't get replaced often, and aren't typically in use when they do.Dan Neely wrote: would the deny just get carried when he copied it to his local system
I don't think ACL's get copied like that in most cases. I could probably set up an ACL on this file, but it would be a PITA as I think I would have to re-set it each time I pushed a new version to the share.
In other words, I wish people would just follow instructions  .

Is the app in C#? If so, take a look at this question[^] and the first answer to it. If not, then never mind me.
