  • 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.

  • New folder in Windows Explorer is not visible until I press refresh

    Hello!

    If I create a new folder in Windows Explorer to a network drive (which is a DFS share) under Windows 7 Professional 32 bit, the new folder is not visible until I have press F5 (refresh). Is there a fix or a solution to this problem?

    Thank you

    Kampi

    Hi kampi,.

    You can wait for a while and do not try to rush by pressing f5, because it can take a while to showup on network drive.

    To work around the problem, you can try to disable the Client of Microsoft Networks in the LAN connection properties

    a. open management of network and sharing Center.

    b. go to the Local network connection and click Properties.

    c. clear the Client for Microsoft Networks option and check.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • How can I sort a list of emails in chronological order in a folder in Windows Explorer

    I copied about 20 emails from my Outlook 2010 Inbox to a folder in windows Explorer.

    It's all in date order when it is in Outlook, but when they are copied to a folder, they acquired all the same date and time and therefore reodering by impossible date.

    I had to open each email to get the date that I then used to rename the e-mails as in the following example:

    09.09.15 - smells filename1

    08.08.15 - smells filename2

    03.09.15 - recD-filename3

    10.07.15 - recD-filename4

    What I want to do is kind of these emails according to the new file name. However, when I select sort by "name", instead of form the following list by MY date, i.e.

    10.07.15 - recD-filename4

    08.08.15 - smells filename2

    03.09.15 - recD-filename3

    09.09.15 - smells filename1

    the order of the list remains more or less the same as if the date that I inserted at the beginning of the file name isn't being recognized.

    If anyone can help with the material?

    Thank you

    Sending the files Outlook as to the Ombudsman .msg files is not a good idea. You need to send in the form of .pdf files for anyone to read. Free programs like PDF24 will generate .pdf versions.

    Original title: Windows Explorer

    I have a HP model p6710f computer running Windows 7 SP1 that I keep updated.

    I use Kaspersky Internet Security.

    My problem is: Windows Explorer does not create a new folder and I can't determine why.

    I can create a Briefcase (which I really don't need) but why can't I just create a single file?

    I would like to have information or suggestions about this situation.

  • CannotCreate new folder in Windows Explorer

    I am running Windows 7 Professional.  When I go to Windows Explorer, I can watch all my files, but when I click on "New folder" nothing happens.  I can take an existing folder, copy it and rename it by creating a new folder.  I've been running this version of Windows for over a year and it worked normally until a month ago.  Please tell me how to run again.

    What happened a bit in the past, but we see a lot more often recently. Here are two options.

  • Right-click on any file or folder in Windows Explorer causes closing.

    Hello.
    is my windows: XP SP3 (with the latest updates)

    whenever I do a right-click on any file or folder in Explorer, display this error:

    Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience.

    I can't do any process on my files (rename, delete, copy, paste,...)

    error report contains:
    AppName: explorer.exe AppVer: 6.0.2900.5512 ModName: unknown
    ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 00000000

    This looks like a problem with the Extension of Shell.

    To resolve, download the freeware "ShellExView".
       <>http://download.CNET.com/ShellExView/3000-2094_4-145729.html >

    When you run it, it will give the list all extensions of shell on your computer.  You start by selectively the deactivation and activation of extensions until you find the (s) which is causing your problem.  Start by turning off all non-Microsoft (right click on a line-> disable) extensions and see if your problem persists.  If it isn't, then re-enable the disabled in small groups until you narrow down which is causing your problem.

  • Can you view the contents of subfolders when you have a selected folder in windows Explorer?

    In windows Explorer if you have the one selected folder is it possible to view the contents of the folder B then that file is still selected?

    Unfortunately, there is no way to show contents of the folder when the parent folder is always selected.

  • Kill the "My Documents" folder in Windows Explorer for XP

    Whenever I have called Windows Explorer in my copy of XP and then click on 'Files', the 'My Documents' folder is displayed.
    Except that I do not use it and don't want it.
    I tried in vain to get rid of him, but when I right click on it and press DELETE, it tells me that the content will not be deleted, only the icon, which would be nice.  But it's that - the icon remains.

    You can't delete My Documents. This is a directory on the system. If you want Explorer to open up My Documents, you can change the shortcut to Explorer as follows:

    Go to programs > Accessories - right click on the Windows Explorer icon, select properties and type or copy / paste the following text in the target box:

    % systemroot%\EXPLORER. EXE/e, c:

    This will open the Explorer to C:\. You can also create a desktop for Windows Explorer with the same command icon. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!
