  In XP Service Pack 3, when Win Explorer is open, files that open has changed on its own (or I don't know what I did to cause this change). Records of Documents are all posted, but the C: drive is closed, where it will display all folders to open at this stage.

• Cannot find the Favorites file from Windows Explorer in Windows XP. Does not currently have IE in Windows XP

  I have been using Windows XP for a while.  I am always connected in Windows Explorer through the icon 'Butterfly '.  Never interested in Internet Explorer - too cluttered screen.  I have several files in Windows Explorer and virtually none in Internet Explorer 8.  How can I find the Favorites file

  Windows Explorer so I can import them from a new laptop with Windows 7? There, not too many people who understand what I'm saying

  Tommy,

  You've done a good job answering my question.  Somehow, and I don't know how I did it I accidentally erased all the favourites I had accumulated for quite some time.  I have not found these missing Favorites in the trash that is where I would have expected to have. But that's another story and not a good thing.  I have so appreciated your efforts and I hope at some point I can get these favorites - wherever they are now.

  Sincerely,

  ECK Wolf

• Change the background color on Windows Explorer

  Hello.  One of our users who has recently turned to the Windows 7 operating system has problems with eye fatigue due to the fact that its Windows Explorer background color is white (default).  Is there a way to change this color to something darker and easier on the eyes?  She said she did it in Windows XP (doesn't remember how she did), but cannot find a way in Windows 7.

  I checked on some blogs after a search on google and it said to go to:

  Control Panel / all settings control panel skin customization elements, widow colours / advanced

  I went there but could not find anything specifically for the background of Windows Explorer.  I tried the substance of the request, but that it has not changed for Windows Explorer.

  Any help would be appreciately greatly.

  Thank you!

  I came across this little gem that seems to be the safest way to accomplish the task,

  You will need to download a custom theme to end up,

• Several unsuccessful attempts to open the PDF file in Windows Explorer by double-clicking

  Hello

  My system configuration: Windows 7 SP1 x 64 Adobe Reader 11.0.10.32.

  By double clicking on the PDF file or try to open with Adobe Reader IX in the menu shortcut in Windows Explorer or any other file manager, the software Adobe Reader opens only after a few attempts. At each attempt the AcroRd32.exe process arises. And after a few attempts, the file opens. As a result, I see several empty AcroRd32.exe process in the Task Manager, each have about 4000 KB of RAM and the only open file. I have to kill these empty process manually, because they are not dead before closing the window of Adobe Reader.

  I found the same problem on another PC with the same configuration.

  Best,

  Alexei

  

  Hi Alexis,.

  Could you please let me know for how long did you face this problem.

  Open the TEMP folder (press Windows + R and type %temp%) and delete all the files inside.

  This happens with any specific PDF or all PDFs?

  You can try to disable the Safe_mode opening drive then go to ' Edit > Preferences > (protection)»

  Let me know how it goes.

  Kind regards

• How media player changes the music files (modo-live mesh)

  Hi, seems that media player mark fall files in a folder such as "changed" when I change what should logically be the attributes of the filder (ie the year or kind..). While I understand why media Player that do, it creates a huge unnecessary traffic to live mesh (I'm trying to sync my music folder).

  Furtehrmore, after you have synchronized with another computer, the other computer goes to the internet, detects updates and marks a great numer of files resulting in a huge amount of traffic to the original computer...

  Hello, jmdh

  Please use the Forum for answers!

  Tags for music files are stored in the file. When you change these Nokia is written and therefore actually changed. This happens with other software which publishes these tags as well and not specific to Windows Media Player.

  Let us know if that helps.

• I need to change the host file in Windows\System32\drivers\etc but I get an error message telling me that I need administrator privileges to do this.

  I use Windows 7 on a Toshiba laptop. I am logged in as Administrator group member why not I have permissions to modify the file (I need to add an IP address to the list)?

  I never had this problem when using XP, so why are administrator permissions so darn limited in Windows 7? And why does the system not recognize me as a member of the Administrators group? It's so frustrating.

  Windows 7 UAC (User Account Control) prevents rogue programs do things behind your back. Click Start / Help, then look for help on UAC learn more.

  To change your hosts file, follow these steps:
  1. Locate Notepad in your Start menu or in the System32 folder.
  2. Right-click.
  3. Left click run as administrator.
  4. Open the hosts file, edit and save it.

• By selecting the MTS files in Windows Explorer hangs 64-bit Windows 7

  I have a Canon VIXIA HF100 HD camcorder which produces MTS files on a SD memory card.  When I plug the SD card in my PC, I see the files listed in Windows Explorer.  When I click on one of the files, my computer freezes.  Totally inadmissible, including the mouse.  My first thought was a defective material, but I was able to copy the files to another computer and put them on a USB key.  When I plug the USB into my computer and try again to select a MTS file, I get blocked again. Then as I tried to turn off the preview feature icon, thinking it was a codec problem, trying to extract the thumbnail view.  This did not help.  I don't see anything else to do.  What happens when I select a file in the Explorer?

• Can we copy the folder and the name of the data file from Windows Explorer and paste as text in Word or Excel?

  I have two records with a similar file; some of them are duplicates, and some may have the same name, but contain different data.

  I would like to compare files from both folders by name and size of the file.  In this way, I could say if I duplicate files, or files with the same name with different data.

  I would copy and paste this information (as text or values) in Word or Excel.  Any way to do it?  Any other suggestions re: comparing these files?

  Just take the b out of my order and you will get info from size.

• Cannot install the CD software, AutoPlay does not, can not see .exe files in windows Explorer

  I tried to load the software for a Microsoft mouse that I bought. When I loaded the CD in the drive, the Setup program did not start. When I looked at the content of the CD, it wasn't a setup.exe file. Tonight I tried to load TurboTax, and I'm having the same problem. I put the disc in a XP machine, the installation program starts right up and I see the installation files in Windows Explorer. I can't install it to work on my Vista computer.  When I right click on the drive, I don't get the option to install or run the program. It's as if she's even not recognize that there is a facility on the disk. I'm running Vista SP1 small business. I also downloaded windows a 4.5. No change. Help!

  Well, I am the furthest thing from a computer Wizard but I came across the solution to my problem and kklinger.  I recommend removing a program called "Xplay" from Mediafour.  There seems to be a MAC program and is the reason that the autorun is not complete.  Try this: 1. go to start, then Control Panel
  2. open "programs and features".
  3. scroll through the programs and see if you have the XPLAY under the title editor MACROVISION
  4 right click once a program to highlight, and then click "Uninstall/change" upward.
  5. (you may get a pop-up asking if it's OK continue.)  If so, click on "Allow")
  6. once the program is removed, you will need to restart your computer.

  It worked for me.  Good luck.

• How to shorten the music file to match the selected slides

  I created a slide show with windows vista movie maker.  How to shorten the music files to match both of the selected slides.  Using the fade out option did not work

  Hello

  You can try the following methods and check if it helps.

  Method 1:

  (a) open your filmmaking program and create the slide show using your photos. Choose the options you want for changes between the photos and the duration of each photo display. If you need help, then check out the help file in your theater program.

  (b) open the import file dialog box. In Windows Movie Maker, it is in the part of '"movie tasks', section"vidéo Capture." Browse your files to find the mp3 file you want to import, select and import it. Will import it into filmmaking program but it will not in the video.

  (c) search for the file in your filmmaking program and import it into the film. In Windows Movie Maker, you can drag and drop the file in the position in the window of time movie online, where you want that song to start playing.

  (d) scroll through the timeline until the end of the song. Drag the end of the song in a position to match the end of your slide show. This will be the end of the song at the same time exactly like your slide show.

  (e) read your film completely from the beginning to the end and ensure that everything is with the song the way you want that there. If you are satisfied with the finished product, then export the movie to the right format and the file will be ready to play.
