Folder opens in another window
I use Windows XP home edition (sp3). Recently, I saw a change in my computer. It has been listed below.
1. I opened MY COMPUTER. From there, I clicked on another drive. (D, E, F)
2 but he opened in another window, not in the same.
3. I tried to remedy by clicking on tools and then options. I've changed all default.
4. but the problem still exists. There is no virus (but not sure)
one last thing, I formatted the C drive, but the problem still persists.
Chipsman,
Have you checked if you have this problem also in safe mode?
(This tutorial explains how you can start in safe mode, http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/123496-safe-mode.html)
Kind regards

When I try to open a file in the same window instead it opens in another window
original title: the behavior of the windows
so my office is weird, as if you try to open a file in the same window instead it open in another window, etc. and the parameters are not to do, and I can not copy, paste, or drag-and - unless u open the file that you are trying to paste in... I mean that it shows that u copied or cut the file but it does not allow you to the paste it where you want it to... help?
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/813711
I found the solution to a lot of the post regarding the behavior of the window as in not displaying thumbnails do not, or only display as icons. u could not drag-and - drop a file in a folder, the only way possible to copy and paste in the opened folder u he wanted. When in an open folder u wanted to open another folder in the same window, that he would open the clicked folder u on in another window... Yes I think the setting may have changed with the installation of another program or uninstall. Ive search searched n not thanks to technicians to norton and Microsoft to answer the caz forums of course they know not what theyre doing... but in any case, I saw in another question, someone asked on thumbnails disappear n someone sent them the link to a microsoft support page click on the fix it , and it fixes everything that was to play place configurations... I'm really tired of people who say "oh come on in your folder options and check the personalization", how much this race was frustrating... Well hope it works... for future people and those that have not been answered... and im running vista... -
Why he closed my tab and opens in another window. It bothers me a lot.
Why it closes my tab and opens it in other window. It to me very much disturbs. I touch nothing. It occurs on 20 times a day.
This has happened
Each time Firefox opened
Is in May.
A very slight downward movement when clicking on a tab will cause the tab 'tear-off' and open in another window. You can drag the tab to the original window tab bar.
To stop this behavior, you can install this add-on:

Hello
Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.
- Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
- Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
- Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
- Windows:
- C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
- C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
- Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
- Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
- Windows:
- Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
- Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
- Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

Original title: OPEN IN ONE OTHER PROGRAM? __ACTION CANNOT BE COMPLETED-
Running Windows 7 64, I get this message a lot in trying to make things happen in Windows Explorer:
"The action cannot be completed because the folder or file is open in another program."
He would have to open? I tried to close all.
Ahhh... Here's the clue. I went back to the error message just noew (about 1 minute later) and clicked on TRY AGAIN... and it worked very well.
This leads me to believe that this is not a matter of rights (I'm admin on a stand-alone computer.
Its not another program I have running because I has not changed anything in the delay of one minute.
COULD IT BE SOME #@! ## @! # Indexing PROGRAM of RESEARCH that would be really cool, except that it's causing problems like this?
All ideas are welcome.
