• How to adjust the default column is displayed in the Windows Explorer screens

  I would like to change the concrete by default of my columns when you use Windows Explorer screen. It bothers me that I can't find a way to change the columns that appear by default whenever I open a new window.

  I want to display more or less than the default value. Everytime I open a window a new session with the Explorer, it displays update, Type, size and tags by default.
  I know how to add or remove a column, but it is a pain when you have to do every time especially if I have more than 10 windows open at a time.
  There is some great information available especially with the content of media like music, videos or photos. There are many categories to choose from which must be wound up manually like BitRate, author, size, Date acquired, update, etc...

  Is it possible to change this so that by default, I can choose the columns to display by default. Do not have to adjust them each time I open a new window.

  It is a 64-bit version of Vista Ulitimate, but if there is a response, I think it applies to all Vista OS...

  Hello Chuckbytes,

  Thank you for posting.  I have a solution to your problem.  This fix is to modify the registry.  If you do not want to edit the registry, and then don't do these steps.  Also always do a backup of your registry before making any changes.
  These steps are courtesy of Médard Ghazi of Tweakguides.
  Please let me know if this helps you.

  Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk

  Changing folder views

  For example, you can set your directory \Users\[username]\Downloads to display in the Details view, but if you copy a picture, song or video in the directory, the next time that view you the content they can be display large icons mode. Even if go you back and change the view type, it can reset itself once more the next time you go a different file type in this directory.

  Solution

  Open the registry editor-
  Navigate to the following keys:

  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags]

  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagMRU]

  Right-click on the bags key in the left pane and select Remove, and then do the same for BagMRU. This will remove most of the existing customizations for things like window sizes, positions and views. While still in the same place in the registry editor, you must manually recreate one of these keys, with a new parameter. Right-click on the following key in the left pane:

  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell]

  Create a new key called bags to replace the one you just removed. Right-click on the bags, select new > key and the name of this new AllFolderskey. Right click on AllFolders, select new > key and name the new key Shell. The final result should look like this:

  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER Settings\Software\Microsoft\ Windows\Shell\Bags\AllFolders\Shell]

  Now left-click on the last key Shell and in the right pane click right-click in an empty area and select new > string value. Name this new string FolderType and once created, double-click on it and in the value data box, you can set the default view, that all files will be initially (unless otherwise stated) by entering one of the following values:

  NotSpecified
  Contacts
  Documents
  Music
  Photos

  For example, if you enter Documents in the FolderType value data box (which I recommend), then all the files for which you do not manually set a default view to the standard Documents records display as you set it.

  Now, in Windows Explorer, go to your \Users\[username]\ directory and for each of the folder main types down there (Documents, photos, music, videos), make sure that you set the view as you want, including things like choose the columns to show, and what each of them is, the size of any icons/thumbnails, how they are sorted, etc. When you make the changes for each folder click organize at the top of the Windows Explorer, select "Folder and Search Options", go to the display tab and click on the button "apply to folders. This will set this view to all folders of this type even, and this method also means that should you copy files to another type in a folder, it will not change this folder view settings - in the future that the settings should stay exactly as you let them.

  Update: There is a step more that can help ensure that these parameters remain fixed. Navigate to the following key:

  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell]

  Left click on the Shell key and in the right pane, if you can see BagMRU Size then it is not necessary to take this step. If she's not there though, right click and select new > DWORD 32-bit value and name BagMRU Size. Now, set this value to 10000 in decimal mode (or 2710 in hexadecimal mode).

• How can I refresh the thumbnails in Windows Explorer?

  In Windows 7, Windows Explorer tries to display the contents of the subfolders under icon. It is a great way to see what is in multiple folders at the same time.

  However, when I create a new folder, it is assigned to the default folder icon - and I find no way of refreshing it once I added some content in the folder.

  Here is a screencap of some of my music files - highlighted that now contained in it, but I can't make it look like the records around her:
  

  In Windows XP, you could do this by right-clicking on the icon and choosing "Refresh thumbnail" in the context menu. This is not an available option in Windows 7, at least that I see.

  Any input greatly appreciated!

  Hmmm...
  Do you already run cleaning Manager and delete the cache of thumbnails?

  Cleanmgr %SystemRoot%\System32\Cmd.exe/c /sageset:65535 & /sagerun:65535 Cleanmgr

  paste it into the run window. VP Tech Services

• File extensions are not displayed in my windows Explorer

  I use Windows XP SP2. Since I do on this specific computer software development, being able tp see file extensions in my window of the Explorer would be very useful. I already tried the standard tool > Folder Options > view tab > show the file extensions for known file types to achieve this, but it does not display the extensions.

  It is a big problem for me because when I need to do something with executables of the application that I've done, I have to guess which file is good.

  Does anyone know why my file extensions are not display? Logan Young, hopeful MCPD Web Developer

  You must determine if the computer is really clean. I like Avira, but antivirus programs are not designed to catch non-viral malware. Do preparatory work to get rid of temporary and Temporary Internet Files, describes the relationship I have everything first you gave (and repeated below for convenience), then run MBAM.

  Another thing to check - after the computer is really clean - if the problem occurs in a different user account. You will need your colleague to create a test account in the server, then the one on your computer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• What is the shortcut keys to switch the display type in Windows Explorer

  To change a folder in Details view in Windows 7, I hit Alt->-> D V. This does not work in Windows 8 because the active / disables the details pane rather than switch the display type. There is that no letters hung over the types of display (icons, list, details, etc.), seeming to imply there is no keyboard shortcut to change the display.

  Am I missing something, or is there really no shortcuts for this in Windows 8?

• Thumbnails are missing in Windows Explorer

  I can't see the thumbnails in Windows Explorer, I could see what had XP, no pictures at all, only when I click to open them, can, in my view, they are.  Also in my graphics software when it is open for photos, don't see them, as the background on all the jpg, different ones for gif etc.  In other words the jpg or gif icons, extended thumbnails etc.  Any ideas how to recover photos?  Thank you in advance.

  Sorry, just saw a similar problem, it settled now, who said the following:

  Response has been: in the Folder Options: open the view tab and make sure that "Always show icons, never thumbnails" is NOT checked.     This he settled, can now see my photos.

  As noted above, found the answer on another question. Sorry for opening this, should look further into before.

• Thumbnails of PDFs on Windows Explorer

  How would I be able to view the first page of the PDF files as thumbnails in Windows Explorer? I've always been able to do under Windows XP without having to do anything, and I want to be able to do in point 8.1 of Windows 64-bit. This will allow me to manage the files much easier. I plan on upgrading my Dell Inspiron for Windows 10 the day it is released.

  
  

  My computer automatically updated the software Adobe Reader XI to Adobe Reader Document Cloud 15 yesterday, without intervention, or advising me somehow.

  Hi TJinPerspective,

  There is no such customizable setting, however, you can activate the preview in windows Explorer pane, which may help you.

  The Adobe Reader program is updated automatically so in this case if not guests for the permission of the user.

  Kind regards

• 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.

• 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.
  Read http://www.edbott.com/weblog/archives/000643.html

  and http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099

  and also
  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.
