Change the folder on Windows Explorer.

How can I change the folder that opens at the start of the Explorer?

Click on the round of Windows (start) > all programs > Accessories and make Windows Explorer right click > properties > Shortcut tab and change the target in a box to where you want Explorer to open, for example to open the Documents folder, type (or change) the following %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe C:\Users\your user name\Documents\ then apply, OK, etc..

  • You can change the icons in Windows Explorer?

    I read some other Q & A on this topic. I never realized that an icon was so important. Anyway, nobody has asked this question specific (it seems), so: you can change the icons in Windows Explorer? I don't use the desktop icons.

    The easiest way is to use 3rd party as IconPackager software.

  • Open the folder "Images" = Windows Explorer has stopped working.

    Everytime I try to open my pictures folder after a few seconds, I get the message that Windows Explorer has stopped working. I can't understand how to solve this problem. = (If you please help.

    I ran the System File Checker and there find and repair corrupt files. However, the problem is still there.

    I also ran the disk check and has not helped either.

    Ok. I solved the problem by seeking advice in another thread. Here's what I did:

    I solved this by going to my computer > click the "Organize" (upper-left) > folder and search options > view tab check "Show icons, never thumbnails" option and uncheck the "display file on the photos." This prevents windows to generate images and solved the problem for me. Less visually flashy Yes, but at least not need a cloth and restart is).

    I'm moving all my pictures from external storage. Guess that's the motivation that I needed to finally get the prints and albums. :) I hope this helps someone else.

    Hello

    You can download this reg from my SkyDrive file:

    http://CID-128fc518635be2dc.SkyDrive.live.com/self.aspx/.public/Ms%20Foren/registry/WER%5E_Explorer.reg

    and double click on the file to import.

    When the Windows Explorer crashes, Windows Error Reporting Service [1] creates a dmp under C:\Localdumps. Please download the file to your public Skydrive folder [2] and post the link here. I take a look at the discharge with the debugger, maybe that I can see what Shell extension is the cause.

  • Folder in LR 3 does not match the folder in Windows Explorer

    Hi all

    I'm new to all this and screwed up and am trying to correct what I did. So, without explaining why, I started accidentally delete all photos, LR 3, who were in a library. When I realized what was going on, I cancelled the task (it removed about 1/3 of the photos). I found the photos deleted from the Recycle Bin and restored in the folder that the others are in and that the library is point to. BUT when I navigate to the folder in LR, they appear. I tried a "synchronize folder" and that he did not. How do I update LR so that it displays all the pictures in the working folder?

    Thank you!

    Brian

    Well, I ended up remove LR catalogs and starting over. Was not, but it worked.

  • change the folder view to alphabetical to chronological windows Explorer

    I want to change this chronological order of watching one of the subfolders in alphabetical.

    Exp: Under my pictures folder, I have subfolders by year (i.e. 2006, 2007, 2008, etc.) who orgaize in chronological order but the subfolders of those subfolders are the months of the year and they are the list alphabetically - even if I spent a year at the front or at the end of the name of the month (so it still lists like this (: October 2006, September 2006)

    I want to know if there is a way to get the subfolders to list as a calendar discovering putting an order number or letter before the month month.

    Thank you

    MOM of Godzilla

    You want cannot be done because it recognizes the names like alpha-numeric characters and sorts alphabetically (just as it does for years - but this market because they are numbers).  Try to use a designation number instead of the alphabetical name of the month - 8-2006 to August 2006 and so on.

    If it is possible (and I don't), the answer is maybe in one of these articles (especially the sort order on one) - but probably you'll learn from them that's not possible because you have things to put in place:

    Here's how to change the default template for a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/70819-windows-explorer-folder-view-settings.html.  Default behavior is to select the model based on the first type of file placed in the folder (you must choose something).  Vista sets the folder type template according to what are the types of files in the window and the settings display window Explorer. This will show how to reset the display settings for the Windows File Explorer, disable Automatic folder Type Discovery (which is I think what you want)and increase the folder display the cache to make Vista do not forget the display settings, the folder type template, the size or the position of a specific window for when it was still closed to the location of specific path.

    It does not work with the Sub record under, Open with, open in a new tab (Internet Explorer), etc... dialog windows of type through the good File menu bar item. These don't seem to be able to have their size or their position to recall. For the latter, you can use the free program http://autosizer.en.softonic.com/ to resize them.

    Here is another article on how to modify the columns in Windows Explorer and sort in Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/108665-column-customize.html.  This will show you how Add, Remove, move, change the widthand change the sort order of the columns in Windows Explorer in the way that you want.

    Here is another article on how to change the display of the default folders in Vista (but she argues, it is not a perfect solution and can revert to the previous behavior is not as good as the two prior links provided: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13880_3-10019957-68.html.)

    Sorry it wasn't the answer you wanted to hear.

  • How to disable the "Fonts" folder in Windows Explorer?

    Hi all

    I have a problem to deactivate the fonts folder in Windows Explorer.
    My question:
    How to turn off or do not display "Fonts" in Windows Explorer my computer tab?

    I think it is unnecessary because it already exists in the Control Panel folder.

    If anyone can solve this, thanks in advance.

    Windows customizes the Fonts folder and offers a special folder view that allows you to hide variations, such as bold and italics. It also allows you to change the display settings of the file in a way that is specific to fonts. If you remove the read-only attributes and the Fonts folder system, these custom display settings not available. For folders that you have customized by using the tab, Customize dialog box Properties of the folder, the folder icon and other other customizations may be missing when you remove the read-only attribute.

  • I need to change the folder where download windows updates, I know there must be a way to do this.

    Could someone help me on this issue.

    I need to change the folder where download windows updates, I know there must be a way to do this.

    Updates Windows installation location cannot be changed. Windows updates tend to fix and replace the old files of the system, so it would normally replace a file in the System32 folder.

  • Email folder in windows Explorer

    I have a new pc with windows xp installed.  Installing office 2003.  I use outlook as my e-mail program, and it is set as the default e-mail program.  When I try to send a file or folder in windows Explorer, that he insists on making mail direct fire.  Why and how can I turn this off.  As it is I go into outlook and attach each file individually to an e-mail message to send.  It wasn't the case with my old pc running xp and office 2000.

    Useful, but not the answer.

  • Cannot write to the folder C:\WINDOWS during repair or even Recovery Console

    The security on my folder C:\WINDOWS on my XP Home Edition somehow got changed to allow total control over a normal users (not administrator), and * only * this user - that is to say, no one else appeared in the list of users who have access to this folder.  I discovered this in the context of trying to figure out why the windows updates work is more due to the file permission errors.  To try to solve this problem, I changed the security for the C:\WINDOWS folder to 1) completely remove the normal user authorization and 2) add full control permissions to the accounts of two administrators on the computer.

    Unfortunately, next time I restarted the system, it would no longer boot properly - it shows a black screen with a white cursor, and that's it.  I then tried using the Windows XP Setup disk to repair the installation.  However, when the repair is executed, it is said that 'Setup cannot copy the file xxx.xxx' most every file it is trying to install.  It may even be all he's trying to install files.  The first file is complains about is vgaoem.fon and I tried to skip all files that fail, but I gave up after a hundred and it was still only about 25% complete.

    Then I tried to go to the Recovery Console to see if I could tell what was going on.  I noticed that I can copy files in C:\, but I can't copy anything in C:\WINDOWS or one of its subfolders.  According to the documentation, I should be able to copy files in C:\WINDOWS--sinon, the Recovery Console would be pretty useless.  My best guess at what happens is that the permissions for the folder C:\WINDOWS are somehow restricted such that even the administrator is unable to write to the directory.  The ACL apply in the Recovery Console?  I can't use the ACL commands in the Recovery Console, so I can't say.  Perhaps there is a registry setting that causes this problem?

    I really want to do a new installation I'm losing all my data (in addition to having to reinstall all my applications).  Any ideas?

    Thank you.
