File Explorer

I noticed that when I open a file, the file Explorer window remains open.

Is there a setting that can close this window after you have launched a file?  I have always go back and close the window. I want that it closes when I open the file. He added the time close it every time.

Hello

The option automatically close a file Explorer after clicking on a file is currently not available in Windows 7 or other versions of Windows.

We suggest you to submit feedback on this. You can do this by typing Windows feedback in Cortana, windows search box on the taskbar, and sign in with your Microsoft account.

For more information, feel free to post back.

  • Envy 17-j020us, cannot cut/copy and paste in the file Explorer

    I can cut/copy and paste the url and the text to speech, etc, but I am unable to cut/copy and paste files in Windows File Explorer. I tried malwarebytes and virus programs running. HP support has tried to access remotely to identify the problem without success. Y at - it another option in addition to a factory reset or restore point? Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi jdavis33811,

    Have you tried the three methods of cutting and pasting? Using the keyboard shortcuts CTRL-X CTRL-V, right click on the file and selecting cut, then using the tape from the file Explorer / File menu.

    If you have tried all three, the next thing to try is a boot minimum to see if something is in the background to block the order. A clean boot loads Windows with the drivers and the minimal software. This link of Support technique Microsoft will show you how do it.

    Once you have made the clean boot try three methods of cutting and pasting. If it works the next step is to go back to msconfig (see Microsoft link above) and enable half the services you shut-off valve to the clean boot. Then try to cut and paste again. Keep half of the remaining services that allows until you cannot cut and paste, then disable half of the services that you just active. This, until what specify you what service has problem.

    If after all that you still have a problem then the next step would be to backup your files on an external hard drive or a USB flash drive and then doing a complete System Recovery.

  • FILE EXPLORER Windows 10 does not work

    I upgraded from windows 7 Home Windows 10. Everything worked for three months. Now my file manager does not work. If I double click on a shortcut, nothing happens. No message or errors, no feedback at all. If I select file from the menu 10 windows Explorer it lists recent locations, but if I click on anything that it is once more the window closes and no feedback of any kind. To access my files, I have to go well as the search for application files. Is no more, I can add folders or improve my organization of files. Of course he used to work so I guess it has become corrupt. What do we do to fix this problem, I see, it is a common problem in looking at the forums for microsoft, but no one said a suggested fix worked.

    Hello

    Here what's new on the win10 File Explorer:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows-10/getstarted-whats-changed-in-file-explorer

    And here is the solution:

    The service is called Windows search and disabled once it provided functionality in the file Explorer. The search function in the file Explorer works but isn't looking in the taskbar.

    Step by step guide:
    1. hold Win + r to open the run
    2. type msconfig and click ok or enter
    3. click on Services
    4. go to Windows search (you can sort the list in descending alphabetical order)
    5. clear the check box
    6. click apply then ok
    7. Select restart now

    I hope it works for you.

  • French names for applications 'Windows Explorer' and 'File Explorer '?

    I'm updating documentation and noticed that "Windows Explorer" (win7) and 'File Explorer' (win8) are mentioned in the French translations.

    When you use the french language pack, these applications use the English names, or is there the French names for them?
    Thank you.

    Hey,.

    -Are what documents you referring? Personal work or associated Windows?

    -What version of Windows is installed on your computer? Is - this Windows 7 or Windows 8?

    If you have installed the French language pack, then some of the applications (Windows 8) will be displayed with the french names and rest will appear in English because the version of Windows installed on the computer will be in English. If you have installed the version French of Windows, then the interface of Windows will be in french, and if you add an English language pack, then some of the apps will appear in English.

    So, if you don't want the french names on applications, then please check the language packs installed (and the current language pack used) and change it to English.

  • Two devices in the file Explorer

    Hello!

    Today, I recognized that my Fuze is represented by two devices (with two different drive letters) in the file Explorer. The first device is named "SANSA FUZE" and can be opened, the other has no name and only an error message appears when I try to open it.

    I tried with two windows machines, on both the two devices will appear.

    OK, everyhing works fine, but I'm confused because of two devices. Is it OK or is it a mistake with my rocket?

    Thank you

    Stefan

    Both devices are Sansa internal memory, then the expansion of the SD port.

    With no card inserted, Windows will ask "Please insert support" or indicate that the volume "cannot be opened.

  • File Explorer very show to create a file progress bar list - Green

    Saw this question in many variations, but never seen really useful or a response from the authority.

    You have this problem with FILE Explorer, not Internet explorer on Vista and Windows 7, but it does not appear in XP.

    I have folders with large files Nexe (between 4000 and 7000 jpg and TIFF files in a folder) on the SAMBA shares on a Gbit LAN network.

    On a XP machine, a list of files is build in 2-3 seconds in the file Explorer. In Vista and W7, it may take up more than 1-2 minutes! A green bar crawls on top of the file Explorer. I have no idea why this is happening, but it seems NOT linked to the search indexer, that deleting the jpg as a file type files does not solve the problem. Construction of a cache of thumbnails? Unlikely, because it would only slow the first time.

    Please, can someone give me a tip of how improve it, because it's really slow me down in my daily work.

    HiMartin Koster,

    When you search for files in Windows 7 that is connected to the local network it would slowly start to display the file rather than display all the files at the same time as in Windows XP.

    I suggest that you divide files in large quantity in several files and then check if the problem persists.

  • File Explorer Windows 7 shows a non-empty folder in a vacuum.

    Here's a question that I have no idea how to fix on a Home Premium Windows 7 box. I copied 110 GB of data in a folder named "c:\old disks" earlier. All files where showing well after the copy was completed. Then a few months later, I noticed that I no longer see these files inside this folder in the file Explorer. When I get home, the Explorer displays message "this folder is empty" in the files Panel. The verification of the drive, set all Full permissions and made all the accessible files writable. No go! At the command prompt, I can navigate the tree of directories very well, see all of the files, their sizes, etc.. Watch File Explorer also, that the record is 110 GB in size. So clearly it is not empty. It shows again, no file or directory inside. Please indicate how I can activate the file Explorer view the contents of this folder? I've never seen this problem before on all versions of Windows OS, I can't find much info related to this problem on the net.

    Thank you very much

    I initially reported above. Since then, I solved the problem by going to the command line and the removal of an attribute hidden on all files in this folder tree. All files have shown right after this process completed.

    If memory serves, the command line in my case has been
    H + a "disks c:\old" ATTRIB / s

    To be honest I have to say that I tried all the suggestions in the present and similar threads on this issue, related to the permissions as well. Not sure whether that contributed to the outcome, but the command line above was what finally brought everything back to life.
    I hope this works for others,

  • In Windows 7, I wonder how I can delete my history folder in the file Explorer window. There are folders there appears no longer exist.

    Looking at my history of folder in Windows 7, I see some files that no longer exist on my PC, but still appear in my story.  I would like to know how to get rid of them.  I tried to look in the internet options, as deleting the history of IE is the closest thing to you that I could find, but there is nothing there to affect the file Explorer.  Also, I couldn't find anything in the folder for this options.

    Hi DaNorm,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.

    Go to the following location on your computer and delete the contents of the historical record. And then check if your problem is resolved.

    C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\History

    AppData is a hidden folder, so you will need to follow the steps below to view it.

    1. Click Start and then click computer.

    2. click on tools (if you are unable to see Tools option, and then press the ALT key on the keyboard).

    3. Select folder options.

    4. on the view tab, select Show hidden files and folders (in advanced settings)

    5. now click on the Ok button.

    Hope this information is useful.

    Let me know if it worked.

    Hello

    In Windows 7, the AllUsers folder is not a real file.

    It is a symbolic link that redirects to the C:\ProgramData folder.

    ProgramData is not hidden, by default.

    The correct syntax for the Attrib command would be,

    C:\>attrib h ProgramData

    You can view all files by going to the tab options\View Organize\Folder and research.

    In the section files and hidden files , place a check mark in the Show drives, folders and hidden files.

  • FavIcons not showing correctly in the file Explorer, but display correctly in Internet Explorer.

    Please note: this is the opposite of what people usually describe their problem in.

    I have Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

    My favicon display correctly in the Explorer of files (file mode) but display correctly in Internet Explorer. This intrigues me. When I open the Internet Explorer, icons for Favorites OK show to the left of the name of the shortcut file in the Favorites bar and the Favorites bar. However, when I open Windows File Explorer and check out my favorites and folders, the FavIcons are the generic icons globe, not specific icons to websites that shortcuts point to. The links work well. It's just that the FavIcons are generic globes. (Not all, but many). I want the correct FavIcons to show in the view of Windows File Explorer.

    I tried to revisit web sites and dragging the URL (and favicon) of the bar of address of IE in the "Favorites" folder again. Who has not solved the problem. I tried to go to the page of the site and to type the favicon.ico extension and save it, but windows won't let me save it. (Where can they be saved? And how would be attributed to the shortcut in the file Explorer file? Or is it not the way to solve the problem?)

    Is there a way to fix this without having to download an app/program? Is there a way to solve this problem without changing the registry? Or is the simple registry change?

    I want the correct Favicons to display in the file Explorer, and Internet Explorer.

    Please answer in plain English, not in words irritable. If you propose a procedure, please explain where everything is (how to find things click on what you recommend.)

    IT IS THE ANSWER. A MODERATOR WOULD MARK IT AS THE ANSWER, OR REPLY TO IT, SO I CAN MARK THE ANSWER. IT SEEMS ABSURD THAT WE ARE UNABLE TO POST AN ANSWER TO OUR QUESTION AND POWER OF THE BRAND AS THE ANSWER. Thank you.

    I searched and found the answer. Also, I realized I had encountered this problem about two years ago and had saved the info of the solution in a Notepad file. On the site, the answer given by Chris H is the solution. It is to delete the icon cache of .db database and allowing windows to create a new. My problem was that the favicons for several favorite shortcuts of IE showed the purple globe (ugly) credits. After that I deleted the icon cache database file, a new file has been created and my favicons are correct for each shortcut.

    (Both methods are given in the he.) I list the instructions for the first method, which worked for me. You can click on this page for more information).

    There are a few things you can try:

    First: (icon Cache regeneration)

    1. open Folder Options to select (round) display the hidden files and folders.
    2. open a Windows Explorer window.
    3. go to C:\Users\(User Name) \AppData\Local
    4. right click on IconCache.db and click on delete.
    5. click on Yes to confirm the deletion.
    NOTE: This deletes the file to the trash. It is safe to empty the trash when you are done.
    6. close the window.
    7 empty the trash.
    8 restart the computer.
    9. When you return, you'll notice the size of the file IconCache.db is reduced, and the update is now the current date.
    NOTE: If for some reason any IconCache.db isn't there or the size has not changed much, then just restart the computer again. You may need to restart a few times in some cases.
    10. the icon cache has been rebuilt.
    11. Open Folder Options to select (round) do not show the hidden files and folders.
