In the Windows-left pane Explorer view options.

How do you get Windows Explorer to open with the following folders not expanded:

  • Favorites
  • Recent locations
  • Libraries
  • User
  • Control Panel

Ideally, I prefer recent locations and Control Panel does not display in Windows Explorer.

TIA, Gerry Cornell

Show all folders displays or removes the control panel and the trash of the Explorer folder tree. Right click on the (recent locations) items under Favorites for 'delete '.

None of my folder trees extend automatically when I open or Explorer but darn if I can remember what I changed. The only exceptions are favourites and libraries records recall the State they were when I closed last or Explorer... ie. If they have been expanded, they re - open wider and so reduced that they remain collapsed. If I view the Control Panel, it seems to behave in the same way.

  • Problem with the window "Variables and stack calls ': Options / interpret as

    Hello NO,.

    I found a way to run the JIT-debugger LabWindows/CVI on ICB itself...

    This is the procedure:

    1. I put a breakpoint, run the code, and the breakpoint, I opened the window "Variables and stack calls" by right clicking on a variable and selecting 'Display Variable View.
    2. Any variable shown, I right click and choose Options / interpret as

    You're right, I could now reproduce as well. It seems as if the presence of a function pointer, if set or not, causes interpret as shatter the debugger. The ADE does not seem to be affected, but you will probably have to restart your debugging session when this happens.

    I created the bug report 425151.

    I really appreciate the time spent in this narrowing for me. Thank you!

  • Double click on the photo (my photo) causes PC freeze with message "not responding" (scheduled for the windows fax and picture viewer)

    WINDOWS XP

    "This program is not responding...". »

    I then have to click on the right upper window X two times to close the window. When it closes Finally, everything on the desktop disappears for about 3 seconds then reappears as if the PC restarted, but it does not actually restart.

    My images, the other day, all open without this feeze/final issue. I don't have these problems when you use Windows XP Paint, Jasc Paint Shop, or Quicktime to open images, once set by default... Just does not work with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer more and all my photos are already defined (default) to open with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer - clicking Properties confirms this.

    Also, if I right click on the individual image to 'open with' and manually choose 'open with' Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, it will then open and I can scroll all the following pictures an image in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. "But I can't just click on an individual picture, otherwise, it will freeze just straight up.  Difficulty It Center Microsoft could not automatically repair because the shimgvw.dll file already exists.

    I used to always use Windows Picture and Fax Viewer with no such problems. I have not the slightest idea what happened... even though I was messing around with 1) Component Services > Security Com > permissions & launch Activate and Run permissions) 2 > Regedit > Edit > "Permissions" last week and changed "Registered Owner" in HKEY LOCAL MACHINE and some other stuff like that. Could permissions and changing names have caused this unexpected problem in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer? If so, the changes I made will not be changed back, then how can I fix a broken Windows Picture and Fax Viewer?  And if these changes, last week, have nothing to do with this "opening images in the image Windows and Fax Viewer problem,' so what?

    I did your suggestion before posting here. I saw the same solution as your addition, the interpreter, but it does not solve the problem because I already had the shimgvw.dll etc. in their proper place and my photos/images were not always open with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer the way I wanted them to open.

    Since I got my photos all open as I wanted (as before) this way to use Windows Picture and Fax viewer:

    Control Panel > Folder Options > File Types: I changed then each file/folder associated with 'images' to open with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. I determined this by reading the details for each extension / the item highlighted. If the referenced details 'images', I then clicked on change and choose Windows Picture and Fax Viewer to open the extension.

    I went through everything everyone who was not obvious that they are. I made a change: BMP, GIF, EMF, JFIF, JPE, JPEG, etc... I changed at least 12 (more than I thought it was).

    Immediately after changing all of these types of files, I rebooted and Windows Picture and Fax Viewer was still working the way I wanted to (as before).

  • Windows Explorer expands inappropriate files, the folder that develop you to the bottom of the jump navigation pane

    When you use a left-hand Navigation pane, if there is enough of folders in the navigation pane as you have a vertical scroll bar, if you click on a folder with the mouse (to see supported in the right pane), and then expand the folder (either by clicking on the symbol + or with the arrow key) , then the left pane automatically scrolls upward as far as possible such as the folder you expanded is yet in sight at the bottom of the pane. This command deletes the folder under the mouse, where it should stay.

    This is certainly a bug, as it only happens the first time you try to extend a record of the way. After having done it once, you can scroll the navigation (left) pane so that the file in question is back in the middle of the pane, and it will expand and contract as expected, remaining under the mouse.

    Because many people seem interested in this question, I'll post some info about my recent contact with Microsoft about this issue.

    It seems that everywhere where this issue has been spoken, all someone would get to a Microsoft employee was a response to "Thank you for your comments" mat. Never the validity of the issue has been discussed or even acknowledged. I decided to write an e-mail to the responsible man, Steve Ballmer, clearly the problem with links to a procedure step by step problem, this discussion and report bug with 220 votes (at the time). I realized that Steve would never read himself, but I thought that his email should get automatically transferred to a person who can actually read.
    Two days later I received an email from a specialist in defense of Microsoft saying a "case of grace" was created and the escalation of Windows team should get in touch with me. The next day, an engineer of the climbing sent ask when would be the right time to talk about issues on the phone. So it would be quite clear with what I was talking about, I've recorded a screencast walking through that was precisely the problem.
    Edit: I made a video more condensed showing the "record jump bug", see here.
    This has resulted in our discussions:
    1. engineers are aware of this problem.
    2. they may, or may not provide a fix for it.
    Nothing revolutionary, but it's a little more push in the right direction. In my opinion, post in this thread on the problem has practically no value. I suggest you:
    1 vote upward and commenting on the bug here:
    He said that the site is being monitored by the dev team.
    2. writing intelligent and without rudeness complaints that mention how the bug affects negatively your workflow file management every day. Send these to the top of the food chain of Microsoft until you get an answer. You are a paying customer and you deserve to be heard.
    I'm tired of dealing with him, so now use XYplorer when you perform heavy file management. It stings to have to pay for a decent file manager, but that's life. If this question bothers you at all, please comment and vote on the bugand write an email.
    13/09/11 PATCH: Bug is still present in Windows 8 Developer Preview, see here.
    01/30/12 UPDATE: Finally, we have a public recognition that this is actually a bug that needs to be addressed, and it will be apparently fixed in Windows 8 beta coming. It's good news, but I know I'll use Win7 for at least a year or two, as will be much, much more. We deserve a patch for this problem in Win7. Until that happens, keep Microsoft listening to this topic.
    FINAL THOUGHTS: It is a real bug with 645
    ! votes on their feedback page, however MS didn't intend to fix for Windows 7 users. The bug is fixed in Windows 8, which means nothing to many of us who do not intend to upgrade. If this bug really gets under the skin, I suggest to install the classic interface, which has been recommended several times in this thread. You can choose to install only the feature "Classic Explorer" which corrects this bug among others and even remember the old UI for copy of file which is so nice to have in return. I used it for many months now without worries.
    In addition, for those of you who think that they find a solution to this problem by changing just a few parameters options somewhere... Thank you for your desire to help each of us, but you do not have the same problem and please do not post here your 'solution '. If you read some of the 29 pages of this thread, you will see that all the imaginable solutions has been suggested. There is a bug in the browser itself. If you are using Windows 7 and plan to continue using it, your options are 1) use the classic interface, or 2) use a third-party files, such as XYplorermanagement tool. If you stumble across this thread because you noticed this bug, please vote for the bugand make 1 or 2.
  • How can Windows Picture and Fax Viewer - I specify the editing program?

    I set things up so that Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is the default program when I opened a variety of types of image files, which allowed me to get a quick overview without waiting for a program to load full image editing. What I need to be able to do is to specify which program is then launched by WP & FV when I click on the bottom right of the screen edit button - one with text that says "closes this program and opens the image in edit (Ctrl + E).

    If I click with the right mouse button and select 'Open with' and then I can select in the usual list of possible programs, but what I want is to set a default value for each file type so that a left click of the button automatically opens the appropriate program. I tried the "program to choose...". "and"Always use the selected program to open this type of file"route after a right-click on the button, but what is happening is that the selected program then becomes the global default and circumvents WP & FV altogether.

    Unfortunately, there is no way to disable the next\previous buttons in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.
