How to open multiple instances of Windows Explorer?

I often like to have two instances of Explorer open-by-side. But if, with an open window, I click on the icon to the taskbar, this window closes.

Hold down the SHIFT key while selecting the icon in Solution Explorer.

  • How to rename multiple files in Windows Explorer with numbers that I choose?

    I have Windows Vista Ultimate, when I try to rename several .jpg files, it won't let me choose my starting number.  It is automatically defaulted to 1.

    Hello

    You cannot rename multiple files at once by the design of the operating system. However, try this at your own risk:

  • How to prevent a user from opening multiple instances on the same computer?

    On site oldnavyweekly.com , there is a .swf which prevents users to open multiple instances of the site at the same time on the same computer. If you open the site and try to open it again in another window, it will not load. Cannot open the site again until the first window is closed. How did they implement this?

    My analysis, that is NOT:
    1. cookies - the block always takes place if you try to open it in Internet Explorer and also try to open it in Firefox at the same time.
    2 flash Cookies - the block always takes place if I disable flash cookies.
    3 IP Based Block - you are not blocked if you open the site on two separate computers with the same outgoing IP address. From my analysis, their server does not help in the block at all.

    It seems as if their .swf creates a sort of object throughout the global system which can be detected in other instances of the application on the same computer. How did they implement this?

    Thank you!

    use localconnection.  everyone has a localconnection to send and a receiving localconnection.  the lc reception closes the current application.

  • Explorer 8 opens multiple instances of rundll32.exe when closing

    When I close Explorer 8, rundll32.exe opens multiple instances and memory in the Task Manager go to more than 800,000 for each instance. After running this ram computer and virtually lock up the computer. If I stop the process, everything works normally until I opens and closes Explorer 8. It is repeatable and consistent.

    I use Vista Business, 4 concerts, Dell Latitude D830. Rundll32.exe have searched and found only one instance... located in C:\Windows\System32. I ran several programs of virus and malware and can't find any problems. Register is also good.

    I had similar problems with changing app crash of video files in a folder list to views of large icons.  I sent a problem report and in return had a fix, I unfortunately deleted after it corrected my problem.   I had to go to the command promp
    and in C:\Windows\System32 I had to modify the command that has been something like the pointed out below.

    Fault Module name: Mpeg2Parser.ax
    I think that if you send an error report that you receive a solution.

    It's because of the problem I had.

  • multiple instances of internet explore in my task manager

    Why are there multiple instances of internet explore in my task manager when I open only one page?

    Hello

    IE uses smaller instances of itself to support tabs and correction of errors and it is normal for IE8. In fact
    It uses far fewer resources as well as the opening of 2 or more instances to access several pages. If you
    Open several tabs, and then still more small instances of Internet Explorer will be opened to support these tabs and error correction.

    So basically, everything is normal.

  • If you open multiple instances of vWorkspace fails.

    I'm pretty new to vWorkspace pls if being informative and sweet in your answers until I got up to speed, thanks.

    I have a vWorkspace environment where users can not open multiple instances of any application from their destination vWorkspace page. Let me give you an example:

    JulianTest of the user connects to vWorkspace and sees to the vWorkspace landing page which has two icons 'Production' & 'Test '. The user clicks on "Production" but also wants to open an instance of 'Test', but when he click on 'Test' it gets the error:

    Remote Desktop cannot connect to the remote computer to one of the following reasons:

    ....

    ....

    ....

    If the user does the same thing except opens first ' Test' and then try to open 'Production' then, it gets the same error. Somehow, vWorkspace does not allow more than one RDP session for any user. I tested the computer of the user remote DESKTOP connections and I can open any number of RDP sessions to different terminal servers (there are about 10 servers terminal Server in the farm!) is not something RDP.

    Can anyone suggest how can I fix?

    Technical details:

    Workstation user OS: Windows7

    Terminal servers: Windows 2003

    Broker servers: 2 x Windows 2003

    vWorkspace version: 7.5.304.547

  • I am not able to open anything that uses Windows Explorer and get the message as Windows Explorer (not responding)

    Original title: I'm not able to open anything that uses Windows Explorer

    I'm not able to open anything that uses Windows Explorer.

    When I try to open: My Documents, Control Panel, any Office application, etc. - the window remains empty and said "Windows Explorer (not responding)."  My desktop icons are filled and I am able to open the Task Manager.

    Any help is greatly appreciated?  Also, I'm not a technology person, so please be very percise.

    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the help.

    I had installed the update of MS Windows Defender KB915597.  After doing a restore to the point of restoration, taken at the time of the update, I am now able to open Windows Explorer.

    Seems that something in this update does not work with my system.  I have had no other problems with Windows Defender updates in the past - it was the first.

  • I can't open anything that uses Windows Explorer...

    I just installed Office 2007 and now I can't open anything that uses Windows Explorer. This includes the trash, all files and folders, same control panel. The only things I seem to be able to run correctly are programs. When I try to open anything, I get a popup window stating "Windows Explorer...". (Not responding) "and it will remain forever as this very pretty. After some clicking, it will inform me that Windows Explorer has stopped responding and that I can force close, waiting, etc.

    I can't open all the products of the 2007 Office Suite that I just installed but I can't delete them either, since I don't have access to these files in the Panel. I checked in the file manager, and he said I actually opened these programs (I had 6 cases of execution of Excel), but they do not open and are just frozen on my screen.
    I tried xplorer2 download and access control by that Panel, and it froze AGAIN, although I could enter some of my files that I could not earlier.
    What can I do if I can't access control panel to remove things or to restore my system? Should I delete the MSOffice registers?

    Fixed! Ignore the previous message!

    It was something within the Office itself, which was to ruin. I ran the diagnostic tool of the Office she found an error of diagnosis, repaired, Office has been able to open (and then I had my Windows Explorer as well back function). Woohoo!
    For those who have similar problems, I did start > Microsoft Office > Microsoft Office Tools > Microsoft Office Diagnostics and he ran.

  • Cannot open webdav URL in Windows Explorer

    I'm working on a page that is looking for collections (folders).
    From the results page, I would like a link that opens the folder in Windows Explorer.

    But when I click on the webdav URL it opens UCM 'Browse folders '.

    SAY, I installed, but it did not help.
    I have a Setup "network place".
    I can create a shortcut to open webdav in Windows Explorer, simply do the same thing with a URL.

    Thank you

    In the number short

    I told the development team a couple of years.

    I had a client who wanted a shortcut of windows AND Explorer

    The answer they gave was (paraphrase and memory), it is theoretically possible to do for the shortcut with any Windows Shell development. It is also possible to do it from the browser, but would be one IE solution and require custom development.

  • Cannot open multiple instances of Paint in Windows 7

    I can only open a painting at a time in Windows 7 by clicking on the icon of the paint in my bar of tasks or on the desktop on my laptop at home. If I click the icon again, he closes the program open Paint. Unlike work where, whenever I click on the icon, I get a new paint and so can have several open at once. On my laptop, if I want another painting opened on my laptop, I have to pick up a previously created Paint picture and open it.

  • Open selected files using Windows Explorer

    I created several Windows Explorer shortcuts on my desktop to access records, and records of LAN.

    I want the button files on the toolbar of Windows Explorer or automatically selected when I opened these files, in other words, the left pane should show the tree and the right pane the contents of the folder.
    I guess it requires a code indicating the address to add in the line target the properties of folder icon?
    Could someone please advise what this code or what other method is there to achieve?
