http://askubuntu.com – So as pretty much everyone, before using Ubuntu I used a Windows machine, and one of the things I got used to in Windows was to use the underscore as the first character of a folder name as some sort of special marking so that it would be appear first on listing, both in command line and file explorer. For instance, in my eBooks folder (in Windows) looks something like this: _read Book1.pdf Book2.pdf _reading Book3.pdf Book4.pdf Book5.pdf but in Ubuntu it looks like this: Book4.pdf Book5.pdf _read Book1.pdf Book2.pdf _reading Book3.pdf What is hap (HowTos)

I have Windows 8 machine with Ubuntu One client (seems to be 4.0.0, released on 2012/12/11). I have checked that when synchronization is active I can not write any file in the folders sync'd.

Curiously, I CAN copy files in the folders using file explorer but I can not, for example, download a file there using web explorer, chrome, firefox, acrobat reader, etc.

Hello, I've just installed 11.04 on a friend's machine, dual-booting with Windows 7. Now, he wanted to access his Windows desktop from Ubuntu, so I also created a desktop shortcut leading to C:\Documents and Settings\username\Desktop\ or something similar. So far so good. However, on rebooting into Windows, he found his desktop empty of all files and folders.

Is not possible for me to open whatever folder I copy from Ubuntu to my Windows partition or whatever usb memory. Windows says the folder's location is either disconnected or doesn't exist. Can't copy, cut or delete the folder on Windows but with Ubuntu I can. This happens even if I create the folder on the ntfs disc.

In Windows there’re perhaps only a couple of important folders (by important I mean important in my logical picture of the Windows file system) in the installation drive (in my case C:\). Namely Program Files and Windows. I simply stay away from Windows folder and the “add remove program files” is good enough to handle the program files folder of Windows.
