folder opens in a new window after update, but the options are correct

Hello!

After a few updates to Vista in the past two days, each folder now opens in a new window.

The problem is: the folder options are correct. They are set to "open each folder in the same window. So I guess this is a new bug in Vista.

Y at - it someone here with the same problems and maybe a solution?

See you soon

You can try to restore Windows back to a previous working state, and then disabling the updates so that it works this way.

Step 1: To restore Windows to a previous state (before defective updates):

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-is-system-restore (open the link and follow the instructions).

Step 2: To disable the automatic updates (so the update defective will not be reinstalled):

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-automatic-updating-on-or-off (in step 3, select 'Off').

WARNING: It is not recommended and sometimes even dangerous to disable automatic updates, because they improve the security and reliability of Windows. If the procedures above solves your problem, this means that an update was the likely cause.

Please report back with your results. Then we can reactivate the automatic updates, but block the update that causes this problem.

  • folder on the external drive does not open in a new window

    on iMac OS 10.10.5, when I open a folder (by double-clicking) on an external drive, the folder does not open in a new window, but in a window that replaces the window that was opened.  I looked for a system setting that controls this (in system PREF), but I couldn't find anything useful.

    If you control - click the folder there is an option to open in a new tab. I don't know of anyway to set up in system preferences.

  • DoubleClick the Explorer's right pane always opens a new window instead of in the existing window + fix possible!

    Boredom:
    In the right pane of file, if you double-click a folder it opens in a new window instead in this window.
    It appeared after I installed IE8 and / or play a bit with my startmenu options, but I can't tell if they are really the reason.
    All these tips on 'options records' fail miserably in my case.

    Here is the real solution for my case:
    Open regedit.
    Navigate to:
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\explore\command]
    The default value has been set to:
    %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /separate,/e,/idlist,%I,%L

    I changed it to:
    %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,/idlist,%I,%L

    and then explorer.exe behaved as expected.

    Do not mix with the folder option always "open in a separate process", that everywhere else in the registry.

    What makes it even more strange, in some cases, you can change it again to:
    %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /separate,/e,/idlist,%I,%L

    and the behavior remains as it should.

    For admins: because a "weird plain' or a 'system' forum is missing: feel free to sort, where it belongs.

    Set

    Gotcha for other machines:

    Start-> programs-> Accessories-> Command Shell (rightclick-> run as admin)

    Regsvr32.exe /s actxprxy.dll

    and that it has set for the two other machines.

    This tip came from http://www.vistax64.com/vista-general/44439-open-each-folder-its-own-window-bug-2.html#post987175

    It was really after installing IE8.
    All the machines have in common: Vista64 + Seamonkey mail + http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/ browser (1.1.x is not compatible vista on some points, see http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistanetworking/thread/c8911402-dea6-400b-9978-06ffed629985).

  • project sporadically opens in a new window, instead of the tab

    Hello

    Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I was not able to find this on the Internet or on this forum topic. I apologize in advance if it has been resolved.

    I have always go and often open my projects in my office.

    When I was Captivate 6.0, he would open a window and then, for each project, it would open a tab.

    After the update to Captivate 8, everytime I open a project, Captivate is still open in a separate/new window for each project!

    Is there a way to tell Captivate to ALWAYS OPEN NEW PROJECT in the current window, but the different tab?

    I tried to open a project in the menu bar (file > open > Select project), and still, it opens in a new window.

    Thank you for your time.

    Eric

    Hi Eric

    In fact, I'm rather surprised to hear that any version of Captivate would simply open projects recurrence in the same instance, but in different tabs. New windows are what I fully expect if the plans to open by double-clicking them just from the office.

    I would never advise people to function in this way. My personal opinion is to open by Captivate to open first, then using the file > open (or Ctrl + O in Lilybiri jobs).

    If you feel that it must operate differently, please consider filing a bug report using the link below.

  • I can record is more than all of the new bookmarks after update to Firefox 40.0.2. I have over 1000 bookmarks and also use xMarks.

    I can record is more than all of the new bookmarks after update to Firefox 40.0.2.
    I have over 1000 bookmarks and also use xMarks.
    I tried to remove 5 bookmarks and save a new bookmark, but it does not work.
    When I click on the bookmark star, stars in the bookmarks folder jumps, but does not record, it does not offer the possibility of filing in the subfolder right it me and the star is not awarded (there should be one filled with stars when the Web site is updated bookmark)

    Thank you for your help. I tried the maintenance of places without success. I have disabled xMarks, but it made no difference, I couldn't save all new bookmarks. I went on the site help above and deleted the "places.sqlite" file and recreates a new file, but it didn't work. I uninstalled Firefox full using IOBit Uninstaller and reinstalled, but I found this program does not delete the profile folder (used to have a checked during uninstall of Firefox, but it seems to have disappeared in the latest versions). The problem persisted.

    Finally, I took a screenshot of all my addons. Then, I uninstalled Firefox again, then delete the entire folder profiles (located very usefully described in the second link above https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Bookmarks+not+saved#w_fix-the-bookmarks-file )
    I reinstalled Firefox, reinstalled xMarks and connected and transferred all my favorites, I reinstalled all my previous addons and ALTO - it now everything works perfectly!

  • How to prevent the tabs to open in a new window?

    Given that I have updated to the latest version of Firefox, I am plagued with a problem, and I can't seem to stop. When I go back to Firefox and click on any tab, it almost always causes this tab open in a new window. It is a feature - drag a tab in the screen and it will cause this tab open as a window, but I'm not meaning to drag these tabs, I understand! I use Firefox EXACTLY as I've used it for years, but for some reason, it seems to be interpreting my clicks differently - either I'm dragging the tab a * little * bit, or it simply registers that I dragged the tab when I did not. Is there a way to disable this feature? Or a way to decrease the sensitivity of the thing, so that you really need to let slide the tab into the input window opens in a new window? It's really making me batty. I'm about to move permanently to the Chrome.

    To be completely clear: what happens when I'm just trying to switch from one tab to another.

    You have no need to move your cursor a lot when you press the mouse button causes the tear-off/detachable tab in a new tab. No 'sensibility' that I know. The tab in the new window can be moved to the original window.

    To disable the feature, install this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bug489729-disable-detach-and-t/

    • Read the information on the page above
    • Set the add-on options: Modules > Extensions, click Options next to the specific Extension (2 options are defined/explained in the page above).

  • Open in a new tab and open in a new window have been inverted, how to restore?

    I was pleased to see that I have connected today that Firefox has a update is ready. I was even more excited when I heard that the browser itself has been updated. And while all these new and exciting things make a surprising choice for a Firefox browser, im at my wits end on this little change which is annoying the hell out of me.

    Apparently between 3.6 and the new Firefox, when you right click on a link, you will see open in a new window to the place where has been opened in a new tab. This may not seem like a big deal, but a person who has been opening the windows to tabs for the tabbed browsing came out, I hate having multiple windows open.

    When I right click on a link, its an automatic reflex for me to open it in a new tab, but now I can't. Whenever I end up opening a window instead. Y at - it an easy solution to this little problem that drives me crazy?

    You can use the editor to Add Menu on to change the order of menu items - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/menu-editor

  • Firefox suddenly stopped opening 'in a new window"when I ask-open"in a new tab"only

    For the last two days, Firefox has suddenly stopped opening in a new window; Now, I can never have a window open at a time (even though she always let me open several tabs).
    Tried everything down and rebooting not closing of course, but made no difference.
    Don't have no knowledge of changing parameters - I changed or damaged something without knowing?
    The only news I did recently, is download the add-on from the EPUB reader! Is there a link?

    Thanks a lot for your suggestions

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the Add-ons is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Modules > themes).

    • Makes no changes on the start safe mode window.

    See:

    If this does not work in mode without failure, then disable all extensions and then try to find out who is the cause by allowing both the problem reappears.

    • Choose "Disable all add-ons" on issues to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode to set window to disable all extensions.
    • Close and restart Firefox after each change through "file > exit ' (Mac: ' Firefox > leave";) Linux: "file > exit ')
  • By double-clicking on folders is always open in a new window.

    I checked "Open the folder in the same window", but they keep opening in a new window if I double-click on any folder, which is annoying and strange.

    If I right click on the folder and select "BOLD" default "Open", it opens in the same window, which proves that my default action is correctly set. However, if I double click it, it always open in a new window.

    I searched the internet but the solutions that I found do not have helped me.

  • RSS of opening in a new window

    I would appreciate some help and assistance re RSS.

    I work on some web pages and would like to add an RSS feed for them.

    I decided to use a service called ' feeddigest.com (www.feedigest.com/). They offer five free flow and that is more than enough for me. The display is converted to php which, I understand, allows the engine to search read the.

    The code they provide is delivered in the following format.

    <? PHP
    include ("" http://app.feeddigest.com/digest3/feed-name.html ");
    ? >

    So far so good. The code works great, I get a number of headers and little bits of code. My problem is that when my visitor clicks on one of the links they are taken away from my site, and in the other, so the questis is: How can I have the link open in a new window?

    The box 'target' goes out so I can't use target = "blank after him as I would with html.".

    I have been informed that a large part of the problem is that Feeddigest are actually create HTML code to their end and send it to me in a big block. I have also received the following to try:


    <? PHP
    ob_start & #40; & #41;
    understand & #40; "" http & #58;//app.feeddigest.com/digest3/feed-name.html ' & #41;
    $FeedContents = ob_get_contents & #40; & #41;
    ob_end_clean & #40; & #41;
    $FeedContents = str_replace & #40; "< a href =', ' < a target = _blank href =', $FeedContents & #41;
    print $FeedContents;
    ? >

    I must be honest and say means little to me.

    Anyway when I try the code, I get the following error message:

    Parse error: parse error, unexpected '&' in/web/sites/267/kah22/www.kevinhart.f2s.com/index.php on line 186

    "Line 186:" include & #40; "http & #58;//app.feeddigest.com/digest3/RDHGXLAHXG.html ' & #41; "

    It is somewhat a detailed question, I know, but any advice or assistance would be appreciated.

    Thank you very much
