Exporer Windows will launch the web browser to search for

IM using windows 7 32 bit with all updates. If I type a name of file/folder that does not exist in the address bar of windows explore my default browser is automatically open and try to open a web site. I understand kind of this behavior if I typed http:// but not everytime I type something wrong. also another really annoying is lets say I right click on "Program Files" and select "Copy as path" Explorer copy "C:\Program Files" with quotes. now I paste "C:\Program Files" him explore exactly the template and launch my web browser. really from microsoft? Why you cannot use double quotes for files/folders in Explorer, is beyond me.

If I type 'c' in the address bar windows changes it too "http://c/" and attempts to open the web site in my browser. If I type in "\c" I get the msgbox "Windows cannot find '\c'. Check the spelling and try again. "that's what I want EVERY TIME. Windows Explorer should NEVER automatically open a web browser. If for some strange reason you don't want this option, you can click on the small option 'Search' in the menu dropdown. Ive tried penetrating every sentence that I can think of, but I can't find any info on how to disable this option and I can not even find someone else complaining about this. I can't be the only person that it annoys.

between this behavior and when in windows search and selecting 'Open in a new window' and click here and then clicking in the address bar and get something "search - ms: displayname = search % 20resultats % 20 in % 20Local % 20Disk % 20 (C % 3A) &crumb=location:C%3A%5C\Program files." right click and selecting one of the options "Copy address" aren't better. so if you just want to go up a folder you start opening new windows and by cutting and pasting which is ridiculous. I don't understand how microsoft can screw something towards the top so bad especially when it worked fine under xp. If I wanted to get a browser open web site id myself. It is such an inconvenience.

Thank you

Hello jonjonjonj,

Click Start and select default programs.
Click set program Associations.
Scroll down to Windows Search.
Here, you can set the default program you want to open Windows Search.
By default, it must be set to Windows Explorer.

I hope this helps.

  • Disable the back button in the web browser in Windows 7

    I recently bought an X 201 and I would like to disable the browser web back and forward buttons, because I keep erasing inadvertently e-mails in web environments. I found a document that describes using the ThinkVantage keyboard customizer to do this, but it does not appear that there is a demand for Windows 7.

    Is there another way to disable the web browser buttons in Windows 7, or is there a different software should I download?

    Thanks for your help.

    I could solve this problem by using the customizer keyboard for Windows Vista. It can be downloaded at:

  • How can I increase the size of the police on request or the web browser?

    Everything I print (Word or the web) fate of the tiny print... I read the post that says that the font size is controlled by printing application or program and increase the font size on the web browser or application.    How do I do that?

    You talk to a novice here... guess you knew about this right?

    Hi susan911,

    I don't know that you're a novice, because you told me.

    You are enough common sense to have navigated your way to the HP Forums! Change font size in IE can indeed be a difficult task. In Internet Explorer, click on tools, select Internet options, on the general tab, click Accessibility, click in the box next to ignore font sizes specified on Web pages and click OK, then click OK again. Now you can click view, select text size and choose a suitable text size.

  • Saving files to the Web browser

    I do a plugin for windows which will save the files locally from PDF files open in the web browser.

    I use the code to save my files below

    PDDocSave (pdDoc, PDSaveForceIncremental, ASPathFromPlatformPath)

    char *) lszValueDocPath), ASGetDefaultFileSys(), NULL, NULL);

    here

    (1) pdDoc is a PDF file open in browse

    (2) lszValueDocPath is the path of the local system

    The problems that I face are as below

    (1) the code works fine on XP and Vista (UAC off) and it does not work when UAC is enabled

    (2) the browser in which PDF file opens, as IE or Firefox hangs after save the file.

    I'll appriciate help as much.

    Thanks in advance.

    You have a lot of questions here...

    (1) you must build the ASPathname elsewhere and NOT online.  You must check for errors (in which case it fails) AND you need to release it after you're done with it.  In addition, you can consider using other methods to do this, since your method will not work for Unicode-based files names.

    2) entry from the local file system browser, you do NOT want an incremental save - evolving to save the simple changes on an existing file, NOT the path to another (aka Save vs. Save As).

    (3) UAC is a property of the OS which is designed to prevent EXACTLY what you are trying to do - move local web content without authorization of the user.  You must obtain the permission of the user (via the appropriate OS calls) in order to elevate permissions to allow this.

    Difficulty of these things and you shouldn't have a fall.

  • Help the title in the web browser

    Hi all
    I use 7 HR and WebHelp output. I wanted to change the title of the label for the help who starts in the web browser. We use Internet Explorer as the default browser. Currently, the title of the tab is the same as the project name that is the same as the launch of help file. For example my project name is Help_RH.xpj and the boot file is Help_RH.htm. In the Help_RH.htm file, I can change the title of aid between the Help_RH < title > < /title > line but it will last until the next exit.

    Is there a method in RH I can permanently specify the title of the help that appears in the browser tab and don't have to manually change in the Help_RH.htm file whenever I generate an output?

    Thank you
    -Azi

    I just find the answer to my question. Title name can be changed in the file > option setting of the project. Sorry if I wasted all the time. Thank you.

  • What are the KEYstroke (s) used to CLOSE the current tab in the web browser?

    What are the KEYstroke (s) used to CLOSE the current tab in the web browser? I hesitate to use a mouse where can I use sequences of keys, as the mouse is a much slower process. Indeed, to find a list of all the main features that can be used in Firefox, for example ALT + S, followed by R (or several times) and the ENTRANCE used to restore the last browsing session; or CTRL + F to search for a specific word or term? Thank you.

    CTRL + W closes a tab at a time. It also closes a window if there is only one tab open in this browser.
