How can I open a file search location (in another window or) without closing the search window?

I use Window 7 Home Premium.  Once I find a file in Windows Explorer, I expect to be able to right click, choose "Open file location" and get the folder in which the file was found to open it in another window.  Instead, the same window I looked into is used to open the folder in which the file was found.  Therefore, if the file was not the one I'm looking for, I have to click on the arrow to the left or press the BACKSPACE key and wait for the results of research to refill.  Often I want to compare two or more files in which some files have the same name.  This now means that I have to open two or more instances separate Windows Explorer.  I prefer to open a Windows Explorer window, search for a file, and open the location of the files of a couple or a few files with names.  How can I get "instead of opening the file" to open a separate window?

This is a default feature, as far as I could tell.

However, after looking for a file and if research meets your requirements, there is an option for "Open in a new window" and "open file/folder location."

But, if I understand your message that you do not click "back" or the back"" button. It is something that is not possible, as far as I know.

  • How can I test updates to a folio in a multi-folio without affecting the direct application?

    Earlier this year, we have created a multi-folio for a client application and it is available in the app store. We are working on the updating of a folio in the multi folio and have difficulties to test updates before they go live.

    We have transferred the files through Folio Builder under the same ID as the original folio was built. According to ng.html https://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/kb/errors-incomplete-publishing-or-updati (Solution 2), we have updated the folio in Folio Producer with the status of soldier to test the updates before going live. A private time has been selected, the folio direct since the app store was removed from our iPad and was no longer available for download. Once we went into producer Folio and changed from private to public, it instantly shows up on our iPad.

    Once the revised files are uploaded through Folio Builder, we can connect to Adobe Content Viewer to review updates but the content viewer is not always a perfect finished product representation (ex: videos).

    My question is: How can I test updates to a folio in a multi-folio without affecting the direct application?

    We have an application multi-folio as well and we test in the Adobe Content Viewer application. You can either sign with your publishing Adobe ID and it will appear or share the folio in InDesign with a different Adobe ID if you prefer.

    How can I open it?

    Well your system tells you which is a CS4 file is because you don't have CS5, who she really is.  Get the other person to export it to an idml file and you will be able to open that.  Note that text could reflow and CS5 features will not work.

    When I double click on a folder to open it or try to open it in the start menu, an alert tells me that windows Explorer has to close, and then restart. I can't open the windows. I can open the fine when I'm in safe mode but not in normal startup. I tried to use a restore point, but my computer has not been implemented system restore points. Help!

Note the name of the file next to the heading ' fault module name: ', google for the file to see what program it is. Uninstall, update or reinstall the program.

    If WMP plays the file, then the necessary CODEC WMP version appear to be installed properly, since (unlike players like VLC and MediaPlayer Classic HC) WMP doesn't have any codec of its own.

    Why PrE will not import the file, is a mystery. Have you sailed on the folder containing this file and used get the media to import it in a project, what is this file? Do you have an error message, and if so, what was it?

  • How can I download a file of old emails from Windows Mail (not Windows Live Mail) to a flash drive?

    Left Sode of the screen of Windows Mail are the names of files where the old emails can be stored. How to find the and then download them to a file separately on aflash drive as a back-up? They can be found using Windows Explorer or by using the regular 'real estate' research given to you by right-clicking on the name of the file in the Mail window.

    Messages are stored in a hidden folder that you can locate it in Windows Explorer.  To do this go to the control panel. Folder options | View and uncheck Hide extensions of known file types and also to verify the possibility to see the hidden files and folders.  Then in Winmail opener you can go to tools | Options | Maintenance | Advanced | Store the folder to view the location of the message store.  You can then navigate to that folder in Windows Explorer and slot that you will find a subdirectory "Local Folders" and by whom are all of your boxes to the letters and messages stored as eml files.  You can copy this store of the entirety of the message, and then on an external drive to back it up.  I believe you can also use file | Export | Messages in Winmail to save outside.

    See also www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm for more information about the registry settings and message store organization.

  • How can I create a new all-white or all-black layer without changing the current foreground color or background?

    I need to create a filled layer of black or white.  I need to do WITHOUT changing the current foreground or background colors. So I can't use the bucket tool. The reason is that I have created these layers inside Action and the need the current colors remain unchanged.

    Here's the easiest way I found to date:

    1. Layer-> new fill layer-> solid color...  Select one of the choices other than 'None '.  In the color picker dialog box, place the code hex #fff and click OK
    2. Layer-> rasterize-> content fill
    3. Layer-> Layer Mask-> remove

    Can someone suggest a simpler method?

    You can simply create a new empty layer and then go to Edit > fill and choose either black or white

  • How can I open. Files ICS in Firefox?

    I get a calendar to a Web site I often reference and all of a sudden the calendar is sent as one. ICS file and I have not installed software to open this type of file and a web search does not give any software that works with Firefox, there is a lot of work with Thunderbird so.

    "Receipt? Love by e-mail? If so, they can expect their users to use an e-mail program that provides native support for .ics files.
    Firefox is not 'do the email', but rather it helps the user display the webmail via the software installed on webmail hosting website - that shows that "mail" as a Web page.

    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/iCalendar

    It looks like those are type iCalendar files. Firefox does not support that file type, so if you do not find an add-on for Firefox which adds support for Firefox for this type of file, you will need to use another program that provides native support or has an available add-on.
