Create a custom buttons in Windows Explorer to the default directory

In the Windows XP Explorer: is there a way to create a custom button so that no matter where you are in a different drive, directory and subdirectory... all you have to do is click on the custom button and return to your default directory?  If this is not the case, is a custom button another way to do it.  Currently, I click on the [Back] button or use the button [Back] drop down to return to the default value.  Ok, but not really okay because it takes a click and return to the default value.

Thank you

Steven

Hi Steven Geib,

Unfortunately, the service back to the default directory is not present in Windows, and as it is a design, there is nothing we can do from our end.

If you want to suggest changes in the design here is the link you can make reference to: return products.

http://mymfe.Microsoft.com/Windows%207/feedback.aspx?formid=195

As an alternative, you can use the tree view in Windows Explorer instead of back to the desired location in windows Explorer.

Thank you, and in what concerns:

  • Problem with Windows Explorer and the recorded files

    When I save files from the internet and then open the folder with Windows Explorer in the backed up files, I find that WE consider not save them on my hard drive "change" more. I know it's strange, but I tend to retain files roughly in the order that I saved them, rather than by the name of the file or anything else. So now to manually change the files in a certain way, then save them to get them organized as I want. Of course, this can become very painful and long if I have a lot of files to organize this way. My question is: How can I get Windows to consider saving a file on my HDD as change? I use Firefox and updated recently, which may be the cause of the problem.

    Hi Flingle,

    Were you able to save and access files correctly before you update Firefox?

    You can create a new folder & try to download the file inside of Internet Explorer & check if the problem persists.

    Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

  • Windows explore collapsers/expanders missing directory, elements faded

    Hello

    When I recently rebuilt my computer Windows XP,

    Windows Explorer displays the directories differently in partitions nonsystem remaining versions compared to the new system partition.

    the spirit,
    (1) expanders/collapsers lacked elements of directory in the right panel, and
    (2) all items have disappeared in the right panel.

    Apart from that, Windows Explorer accesses these items in same directory.

    by comparing directories security settings in a non system partition of directories in the system partition, I don't see anything that would cause this behavior.

    configuration:
    Windows XP Professional sp3
    Pentium Dual-Core e5400 2.70 GHz
    3.24 GB of ram

    I discovered that faded are items that the value of the hidden attribute and directories without collapsers/expanders are the value of the hidden attribute.

  • List of copy of the files from Windows Explorer in the form of text in an application...

    Windows will always add something, or a menu item to copy a list of files in Windows Explorer in the form of text in an application?  I would like to run a DOS command (dir c: /s > c - example.txt) as I did years ago, but as I'm sure your aware, constantly been availible for years and your virtualization Windows MS-DOS command line is incompatible with my new computer... All solutions would be grately appreciated.

    Thank you
    Dave

    Hi Dave,.

    I have good news for you:

    There are two ways to do what you want:

    The first is the simplest and is already in Windows 7 (and Vista by the way):

    1. highlight one or more files that you want to know the way in Explorer.
    2. press and hold the SHIFT keyand right-click on one of the highlighted files.
    3. when the popup menu appears, click the entry in the path of the copy which appeared as if by magic, because you're now the SHIFT key.

    A slightly better method, IMO, but it takes a little extra work is to add an extension to the send menu to allow you to right-click on one or more files and choose send to-> Clipboard (as name).  This somehow me seems more practical, because I'm used to the way in which the rear PowerToys when.  Such an extension, which also adds a nice Panel to help you manage the menu send to, is a neat package small freeware called send to toys, by Gabriele Ponti, which can be downloaded here: http://www.gabrieleponti.com/software/index.html#sendtotoys

    A nice feature of the program send to toys, is that you can even have it put quotes around any path to file that contains white space.  Practice indeed!

    I hope this helps!

    original title: strange NAS problem

    Hi everyone I can't seem to fix this strange problem.

    I can't use windows Explorer or the network drive mapping to access my NAS drive more.
    I am running windows 7 Professional 32-bit on my PC, and until about a week ago she accessed from my PC very well.

    The location could not be reached and have not been able to run since said today that I went to update it and the drive mapped. I'm at my wits end.

    Here is some info.

    I can access to other computers and devices on my network.

    I can access the internet.
    I have a windows XP PC in the House who can always connect to my fine NAS drive (even if it's not mine).
    I PING the NAS drive.
    The NAS drive will do the same if connected via cable or by wireless.

    UPDATE: after the implementation of a shared folder on a Windows XP computer on the same network I am also unable to acsess the part of my PC. So I can assume that I can't browse all share folders or NAS drives on my local network.

    Help, please.

  • I can't pin Internet Explorer or Windows explore to the taskbar

    I accidentally marking my Internet Explorer and my Windows Explorer in my taskbar.  I tried to drag and drop both in the area of the taskbar and all I get is the Red cirlce with the inside line.  I went to windows explore and found them both in my windows folder.  When I right click on the two files it shows that they are pinned to the taskbar, but they are not displayed in the taskbar.  I tried to restart and that not resolved it and I recently added software and other changes so really, I don't want to use a 5 days ago restore point.  I'm on a laptop HP with Windows 7 Home Premium.

    Thank you for your help.

    Hi Tricec,

    If the icon does not appear in the task bar, it could be one of two things.  The application of Internet Explore didn't begin, having for result the icon is missing, or it is possible that the icon is actually there, but is hidden.

    If the icon is hidden, you can

    a. right click on the taskbar.
    b. click Properties.
    c. here you will see an option to "Hide inactive icons" that can be unchecked as a test.
    d. click OK.

    This will display all icons that are hidden or inactive; Please check if you see the icon of Internet Explore appears.

    You can also try to re - select the theme of Windows 7 and check to see if that fixes the problem.

    1. right click on your desktop and choose personalize.
    2. click on the theme Windows 7
    3. close the window.

    If this isn't the case, we can try to launch the application manually to see if it boots.  Check the desktop or under start / programs for the icon of Internet explore and try to run it manually.  If you receive an error message, make sure to write it.  After throw manually, check again for the icon in the taskbar.

    Finally, the problem might be that Windows is not configured to launch the application of Internet explore when you start the computer to.

    a. click the Start button.
    b. Type "msconfig" in the search field.
    c. click OK.  Here click on the Startup tab, and then make sure that Internet explorer is listed here and it is checked.

    If the problem persists then you must create a new user account and check the question of do you need to follow the steps below.

    a. open user accounts by clicking the Start button.
    b. click Control Panel.
    c. click on user accounts.
    d. family Safety.

  • Why the mode list Windows Explorer ignores the document property "Keywords"?

    If I open a word.doc file properties Summary tab and type the data in the fields title, author, subject, category, comments and keywords and then activate these columns in Windows Explorer details view, I can see the words I typed in these columns, with the exception of the key words, which remains empty.  Why Explorer doesn't not know my keywords?

    In addition, the comments column shows that the first 77 characters of the comment regardless of how long my comment is... Why is this? Is there some hidden settings that can be used to fail this behavior or change to a higher value?

    I just answered a recent question and found this old (which is slightly different from the one I responded to regarding Sharepoint properties etc..).

    I don't know why Microsoft has not done more properties available through the Windows Explorer list view, because for example, the property of "Key words" in Word has been around for a while before XP came. And before Windows 2 k come AFAICR. But judging by the mass of the columns dealing with properties 'media', they tried to meet the relatively new uses of Windows (much more than digital photography and other digital media), or the necessary code has been written by individuals affected by these media. And maybe the "key words" had been used differently by different Microsoft products and it was difficult to reconcile the different requirements. It is perhaps significant that property taken /is/ supported in Vista's Windows Explorer version, but called "Tags" there.
    However,.
    a. it is / was a mechanism to add columns to the list available from the point of view of list. I've never done so, it may be sure it will work because I imagine it should be, but you need to write a Shell Extension (.dll) that implements the IColumnProvider COM interface and save it in the appropriate location in the Windows registry.
    b. that the mechanism has been replaced by a new system of "Property manager" in Vista It is completely in step with the kind of properties 'Content Type' used in Sharepoint, I can't tell you, but there is a set of pages on this subject at
    http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc144135 (v = vs. 85) .aspx
    Incidentally, the other widely available 'container' technology that could also retrieve and display properties, and has often been rather better than what Windows, Outlook. If you dragged the Word documents in an Outlook folder, you can create an Outlook display that displays the properties of the document (including key words, at least in Outlook 2003). The problem is that (AFAICR) you couldn't store links and Outlook was not really designed to store the files this way (for example, he had a relatively small capacity). The same thing was also possible at the same time in Exchange Server public folders, but there was also the ability practice and other difficulties, especially if you tried to synchronize these flders between servers. If these facilities are still available, and what was / is available in Groove/Sharepoint Workspace, I do not know :-)
