I'm trying to locate a log file created by a CSP that under IE11 is stored in DRIVE:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Virtualized...
Where are users' temporary files created when using the Edge browser?
I don't have Windows 10 installed on this machine to look for the exact location, but it should be somewhere in this directory:
%LocalAppData%\Spartan
If they've already switched folder names to Edge, then just replace instances of Spartan as necessary. You may need to un-hide hidden folders if you haven't already changed that setting.

I have an electron app, and when I make it, it packages and compiles everything.
Sounds like it works perfectly right?
Well, problem is I want one of the folders to not be compiled, but still be accessible by my static files, so the users can add or remove content from the folders.
I've tried making it in a seperate folder, but then it can't find the files even when it's placed in the correct relative path.
Overall, I want my app to exist next to a folder and my <script src="./folder/script.js"></script> to actually be able to access it.
I'm new to basically anything node or electron so i'm probably making some dumb mistake.
Thanks in advance.
Having your user touching files close to your Electron application may be fraught with danger. If they accidently overwrite an important file or accidently delete an important file then your application may stop working and require the user to perform a re-install.
Instead, have any default files the user may need to "touch" packaged up with your application and then upon your applications first run, copy these files (and any necessary folder structure) over to the users home, desktop, documents, downloads or even userData directory.
That way, your application will always know where to find them and the directory is a directory your user will already be comfortable adding files to and removing files from.
You can always let the use choose where these files are stored as a settings option which persists in an application setting file, using something similar to path.join(app.getPath('userData'), 'settings.json');
See Electron's app.getPath(name) for more information.
Because reasons we are trying to move a system from one machine to another one. It has several files in the storage directory. I rsynced it (using -a) to a local environment to see if everything works, but turns out not all the files are available, some of them raise an exception:
Errno::ENOENT (No such file or directory # rb_file_s_mtime - /path/to/project/storage/as/df/asdfasdfasdfasdfasdf):
Of course I checked the routes and they exists. I've been reading a bit about how Active Storage works and I maybe the URLs are getting invalidated for some reason, but why some files work? 🧐 Why the exception mentions mtime? And more importantly, how can I do the migration smoothly?
Thanks in advance
So the problem is actually the filesystems + Active Record names 😰 You can consider this a corner case: My local machine runs macOS, while the server runs Linux, so if I had folders Vf and VF on Linux, on macOS they become one (whichever is downloaded firs). Active Storage relies on case-sensitive filenames, and that's why some of the files work fine, but others are not found
With the Neo4j 2.0.0 Community edition, is there a way to change the default database location?
Seems like every time I start the program it points back to the default location (in the user's documents directory).
I tried editing the neo4j-server.properties file and adding a line to specify the desired directory there, but this didn't seem to work:
org.neo4j.server.database.location=C:\MyGraphDatabaseDirectory
Changing the default location seems to be limitation of the community edition. What you can do is a "junction point" using the mklink command:
mklink /j C:\Users\<USER>\Documents\Neo4j\default.graphdb D:\Data\Neo4j\default.graphdb
That way you don't need to change the path of the database. The default path will point to the desired location.
When starting Neo4j 2.0 Community edition on Windows you will see a dialog UI with a data folder location that you can browse to. To change your data location, browse to a different folder and then click the start button.
Closest thing you can get to is to add a shortcut (to your app's neo4j database) in the default neo4j database folder (or in the parent folder),
I.E.:
In C:\Users\YOURUSER\Documents\Neo4j create a Windows Shortcut (browse to the folder in windows explorer, right click-> create shortcut), --> Create the shortcut to your app's neo4j db location.
Then when you open Neo4j's Window gui, you can go to browse -> click your shortcut and be directly into the folder you want.
It's far from a perfect solution, but it saves a lot of clicking!
In windows, you create a new folder and the you choose it when you want to start your server
I need to store some temporary files from my program sometimes, currently I use the AppData path which works. However, I have just been trying my program on a non Admin (guest) account on Windows. This is resulting in errors because Windows is refusing me access to the AppData folder.
What would be the most ideal path to use instead of AppData, that even a user with the lowest permissions can use?
I tried Googling this one because I am sure I have seen an article on the Microsoft website that lists the different paths and requirements needed but I can't find it.
Thanks
If you want to store temporary files then use a sub-folder in the temporary directory. Use GetTempPath to find out where this is.
Note that on all modern versions of Windows, this folder is a per-user folder and is not shared between different users. If you want a location that is shared between all users then you need the CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA folder. However, as you have discovered, standard users do not have rights to write in the folder. The standard approach is for the installation program to create a sub-folder with a permissive ACL that allows sufficient write access for standard users.
I am working on an internal application. We have a website that displays all our SSRS reports for a group of work. I have been asked to see if I can link all the files (pdf, word, excel) for the group of work. These files are stored on a file server that users viewing the reports have access to. Each group has its own group of reports and shared files.
Is it possible to open the files (without downloading them) from a webpage? Meaning that they file is opened from the file server? I don't want people to download a copy of the file.
I am pretty sure this can work with IE because sharepoint does it. However, other browsers may have an issue.
EDIT: What I would like is to have a web page with links to the files. When they click on a link (say for a word doc), word will open the file that resides on the file server. Without out a local copy downloaded from the network share.
EDIT2: Please note, I know what I am asking is probably not possible in all browsers. I am more or less just making sure. It seems possible in IE using activeX, but out side of that browsers do a good job at keeping processes inside a sandbox.
3 options. Remember this is for an internal website.
link to the share using file://. This will have the side affect of downloading the file to be viewed. As long as user clicks open every time it should not be a big deal.
Use JavaScript and activeX to open word (excel, reader, ect) passing in the file path as a command line arguments. This works only in IE and in win7 (probably vista) user will get a pop up asking if it is ok for the activeX control to run.
Create a new protocol. openfile://. This would be set up to run an application that is installed on the client machine which would open the file. Since it is internal, the application could be installed on the machines without issues. This also requires a registry change.
I haven't picked one as this change is still being looked into but i figure I would update this in case someone runs into something similar.
