  Hello

  Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the C:\Users\yourname\Links folder. Right-click in the folder, and select new/shortcut. Create a shortcut to a local folder.

  Close Windows Explorer and open it again to see if this shortcut will appear in the Favorites.

  If this does not work, go to the folder/organize and search options. Click the Display tab and make sure that Show Hidden files, folders, and drives is selected.

  Make sure that Hide extensions of known file types and Hide protected operating system files are not selected. Click apply/OK.

  Close and reopen agin Windows Explorer, place you in the links folder and see if there is a file named Desktop.ini into this folder.

  Let us know.

• Anomaly of Win7 "Windows Explorer" sensory Panel

  My Win7 has a characteristic very irritating when I open the browser in order to select a folder to open it.

  For example, as I click My Documents, and then click My Documents again (so stupid), then on Excel.  All subfolders of Excel are then displayed.  So far so good.  For some reason, I suddenly hesitate a moment, thinking about my next step, the Excel file suddenly scrolls upward, or down, completely I left him out of position and the list of files, I wanted to.

  What is this, and how can I stop these unwanted movements?  It's not a rare, it happens almost every time I try to open a specific file.

  Any thoughts?

• How can I set whose records are developed by default in Windows Explorer?

  I guess I'm not the only one having this problem:

  Windows Explorer expands always 'libraries' and other items directly under the desk at startup. It is really annoying, that I never use libraries, do not want the extended control panel, or what they think is my repertoire.

  Is there a way to customize it or simply to stop Windows Explorer to expand at startup at all? (The latter would be less desirable but still better than the status quo.)

  Thank you very much in advance!

  You can hide items such as libraries:

  What a pain.  How can get fixed?

  Other than replacing by another file manager.

  Hello

  I understand that you are facing difficulties during the expansion of the subfolders on the Windows Explorer Navigation pane. I understand the inconvenience.

   

  You must expand the tree first and then do the following.

  1. open WindowsExplorer.

  2. expand and click on Tools folder options -->

  3 in the navigation pane, select the check box to display all records and extend automatically to the current foldedr and click ok.

• What is the purpose of the 'Links' folder in windows Explorer?

  This is probably an easy question, but I can't seem to find the answer my own:

  What is the purpose of the links in a user profile folder, i.e., c:\users\\links

  Wait... the links folder holds the items that appear under Favorites in the Windows Explorer navigation pane?

  May not, your settings in Windows Explorer is configured to be able to see (display hidden and system files/directories).

• In Windows Explorer, the Navigation panel jumps with a folder selected to the bottom of the screen, making it difficult for the subfolders of the opening. Why does do this, and can be corrected?

  The difficulty to try to reproduce this now, but when this happens, I have to use the scroll bar to make subfolders in sight.  More disconcerting. XP was not like that.

  This is the Bug of scrolling in the left pane.

  See the bottom of this post for help with the left pane scroll bug using Classic shell.

  Say you want Microsoft fixed it by voting on the Microsoft Connect Web site:

  http://connect.Microsoft.com/WindowsServerFeedback/feedback/details/621426/bug-when-expanding-folders-in-Explorer-Server-2008-R2-and-Windows-7

  Look at the left pane scrolling bug:
  Video testimony of the bug of scrolling in the left pane using Windows Explorer in Windows 7
  This illustrates a way to reproduce it, by clicking on the triangle to expand a folder, that you are currently viewing as it reproduces.

  FIX THE BUG IN 10 MINUTES:

  The classic interface mainly eliminates the bug in Windows Explorer, but it will still exist in the open/save dialog boxes.

  Pane left scrolling bug (and other corrections):

  Using the classic interface to restore functionality of Windows Explorer

  After you have installed the free Classic Shell , you can customize Windows Explorer more closely to how you want it, the quote below is just a way to do it. Click here to see some of the options that you can customize, and here is the FAQ page for the classic interface.

  A solution that works for the restoration of some features.

  1) install the free Classic shell.  It's very customizable and works like a mod for Windows Explorer rather than a full blown replacement. You don't need to install the classic Start Menu option, but you can if you wish.
  2) restart the computer.
  3) launch Windows Explorer (Start - computer) and turn on "Always show Menus" (organize - Layout - check menu bar). It's just for the configuration, you can disable it again later if you wish.
  4) right click on the menu bar and turn on the 'Classic Explorer Bar.' This adds a series of icons for cut/copy/paste in Explorer. Basically, it also adds the "Configuration" icon
  5) go in the configuration and from there, you can change things to your heart's content. To kill the horrible record-jumping 7 Windows, place you Vista in 'Style Navigation pane. You can even hit back to XP mode if you want (this adds lines to the tree of folders and adds a classic icon "+" for the expansion of folders). The Windows Vista folder display style looks about the same as the view from Windows 7, but it gets rid of the horrible blow.
  6) adjust other settings you want.

  After that, you can activate the toolbar and menus walk back to explore if you wish. Explorer Windows seems largely the same, but folders is no longer jumping around.  Vote for Microsoft to fix this bug.

  Now if only MS allows to code correctly so that we don't have to mess with third-party applications to get Windows actually works...

• "Windows Explorer has stopped working" if I open Control Panel

  Guys, could someone help me please?

  When I open the Control Panel, it says "Windows Explorer has stopped working" and then it restarts Windows Explorer. When I right click on any folder it says "recording of the UI language is not valid" 5 times and for a split second, it says "Corrupted registry" then it works. But I am unable to use the control panel.

  I have Windows Vista home premium and Norton Antivirus.

  Can someone help me please?

  Hello

  The error message says something about corrupt registry.
  So, it seems that this issue would be related to incorrect or damaged registry entries.

  If the registry is damaged, your operating system will not work as it should and can feel such or similar problems.

  I m using the CCLeaner to clean the registry and other system files.
  It s a free tool and you should try it.

  If this does not work and if you notice the same question so I would recommend reinstalling the OS using the Toshiba recovery disc.
  In most cases this will help you fix this registry

• I can't use a website should I use with Firefox 5.0. So, I need to uninstall and go back to 3.5 or 3.6. Please notify. Also, my control panel blocks from Windows Explorer a PMP. That's why I use Firefox instead. Thanks for any help!

• How to resize the left on Windows Explorer Panel?

  XP PRO SP3.

   

   

  When I click on "My Documents" a dialog box appears which is split into two halves (panels).  The right files and folders, the left has several menu options such as 'Make a new folder', 'My Computer', 'My Network Places', etc..

  The left panel is too small to contain the entire text of menu and the part of the text is hidden.  For example, I see things like 'My Com' and 'make one '.  She line so the 'My' and 'Com' is on two different lines and even 'Make' and 'a', etc..

   

  The left panel cannot be resized.  Try it swipe left or right only the results in the box dialog full size change, but the left panel remains the same size.  Given zero has no effect.  So, how can I restore this Panel to the width?  'My Documents' and 'My Computer' both have the same problem of "small width.

   

  Thank you

• I get the error of Windows Explorer tries to use the Control Panel Applets

  Whenever I have open Control Panel, and then select an applet (Folder Options), I get an error for Windows Explorer and everything is frozen until I have completed the task with the Task Manager.  I am running XP Home Edition with Service Pack 3.  Have passed through each .cpl file by placing each of them, one at a time in a temporary folder and then try the control panel again.  I always have the error and cannot detect what applet file could be causing it.  Any help is appreciated.

  You must run a full on your antivirus scan, until the Trojan horse is completely removed.

  Try to access the folder in this way options:

  Start > my computer > in the top menu, click Tools > choose folder at the bottom of the menu options.

  Also run the eset online scanner on.

  Once the infection has been cleared, you should be able to go into folder options without freezing the pc.

  If you were able to enter the folder through the above method options and let us know if the Trojan horse has been completely deleted.

• Repair Windows scam - cannot control panel access control or workstation "Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close."

  Original title: repair Windows scam - Can can't Access Control Panel or workstation

  My system has been recently infected with "Windows" repair"virus. I managed to delete using Super Anti-Spyware, but all my desktop shortcuts are gone (hidden) so I downloaded "Unhide.exe" and get all my shortcuts. Most of them seems to be working as before, but there are a few, such as 'My Computer', ' Panel, "My Documents", or even "Windows Explorer", which I can't access.» When I try to open them, I get this popup box saying "Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close" how much he out me of my office of kicks.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you!

  The best way to solve this maybe just create a new user account, transfer your personal data to this account, and then delete the old account. Make sure that you perform the system restore after you did the new account and everything works fine. To purge the system restore, simply disable it then again. Be aware that the creation of a new user account is not the means to get rid of malware. But it is perhaps the best way to get rid of some of the after effects. However, I recommend you scan with Malwarebytes before running these instructions. After scanning you may not create the new account.

  In addition, Jose is correct. Good number of new forms of malware prevent the start in safe mode. Trying to force booting in SafeMode with msconfig, you end up with a boot loop.

• whenever I try to go into my control panel or computer I get a message that windows Explorer has stopped working and she said then it restarts, but I can access my computer

  Why you are posting in the forum, IE?  Maybe the reason why you try to use the CP is to enter Internet Options?  If so, you can do it without the help of Windows Explorer (at least on your operating system) starting (using the Task Manager if necessary): control.exe inetcpl.cpl

  Otherwise what your problem probably means is that you have added something new to the root of the control panel which is not compatible with your OS, causing thus the Windows Explorer (not IE) crashing.  In this case, the same way you could get in Add Remove programs without involving Windows Explorer by starting: control.exe appwiz.cpl

  You can get help more informed by post on a forum that specializes in performance and Maintenance of your operating system.

  Good luck

• Control Panel, desktop and Windows Explorer are all absent in safe mode and windows XP Professional full

  After having had a nasty during the Christmas holiday, my work windows XP computer virus never seemed the same.  I ran Malwarebytes, Registry Mechanic, and PC Tools antivirus to clean the computer.  However, now my computer will not display control panel, Windows Explorer or the desktop icons.  The Task Manager does not work.

  Exactly what virus was this?

  Almost certainly you don't has completely failed to clean the
  computer upward. Keep in mind the following three things:

  1. MalwareBytes anti-malware is an anti-spyware program and
  nothing to clean up viruses.

  2 PC Tools antivirus is a bad choice of an anti-virus program. For
  an antivirus program, I recommend eSet NOD32, if you're ready
  to pay for it. If you want a free anti-virus, I recommend one (are not
  run several) of the following three:
   
  Avira AntiVir
  Avast
  Microsoft Security Essentials

  3. in the course of the run Registry Mechanic has been a very bad thing to do and it can be
  responsible for the problems that you are experiencing now. Cleaning the registry
  the programs are all snake oil. The registry cleaning is not necessary
  and is dangerous. Let alone register and do not use any registry
  cleaner. Despite what many people think and what providers of registry
  cleaning software try to convince you to have unused registry
  entries is not really make you hurt.
  The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner by mistake
  delete an entry you need is much greater than any potential benefit
  It can have.

  http://blogs.technet.com/markrussinovich/Archive/2005/10/02/registry-junk-a-Windows-fact-of-life.aspx

  Let me stress that neither me nor anyone else who warns the
  use of registry cleaners never said that they always cause
  problems. If they have always caused problems, they would disappear from
  the market almost immediately. Many people have used a registry
  cleaner and never had a problem with it.

  The problem with a registry cleaner is that it carries with it
  the risk of a significant problem. And since there is no
  benefits of using a registry cleaner, running that risk is a very bad
  good deal.
