Lock the folder structure in Windows Explorer?
Greetings,
I work in a large group of engineers to access the servers shared with complex file trees. Using Windows 7, 8 and 10.
Is it possible to lock the file tree structure so that cases move?
It is not uncommon for a user to work quickly, accidentally retrieve a whole folder, move their mouse and drop it in a different location and not even realize that they had done. There is a period of panic, wondering how a whole folder got deleted or moved followed relief when (if?) he is once again.
We must be able to lock a folder tree without affecting the access and permissions applied to these folders and files in them.
Is it possible to do?
Ask users to work slowly and methodically doesn't seem to be an option :)
Thank you
Erik
Try to change the permissions on a file to see if you can find a way. Right-click on any file, choose Properties, and then select the Security tab. There are also advanced features.

Hello
I have a problem with windows Xp home :(
When I right click on a folder (no file!), it happens:Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime library runtime error! C:\Windows| Explorer.exe
This application has requested the execution to terminate in a medium unusaual
Strange that, in this case only when the name of the folder not constituted only a single character!
I try safe mode, but still exist! Unfortunately I turn off System Restore. I also scan with nod32 (it is updated), but nothing has changed. I download c ++ runtime library from Microsoft and install it too. I also use fix tool from Microsoft, but my problem is still there.
Please help me

How to change the folder opens when windows Explorer opens
In XP Service Pack 3, when Win Explorer is open, files that open has changed on its own (or I don't know what I did to cause this change). Records of Documents are all posted, but the C: drive is closed, where it will display all folders to open at this stage.
How can I reset so that all the files under C: drive open when I open Win Explorer?
Kind regards

Download a FREE program called Revo Uninstaller
http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html>. It will be unstall any program completely, including the files of monitoring programs. works very well, that you should have no problem more reinstall after uninstall this program.
Just don't allow the computer to restart if the part of Revo Uninstaller asks you if you want to restart now orlater. Select afterwards and let Revo finish an orphan looking for registry entries. Reboot after Revo ends.

Show the folder path in the title bar of Windows Explorer
How can I show the folder path in the title bar of Windows Explorer? I tried to switch to Classic view and check the "display full path" option under "Folder Options", but that did not work.
If there are no built in parameter to do this, anyone know of a good third-party plugin that will accomplish this?Heh, after playing with my Google in terms of search, I found the answer to my own question!
There's a small utility called Aerobar that you can download here. It puts the full folder path in the title bar of Solution Explorer. -

Opening the files in the right pane of Windows Explorer
For the last two weeks, when I double click on a folder in the right pane of Windows Explorer, a video look at an application tries to load the file instead of just opening the folder. I looked at the files Types tab in the tools, Options menu, without a bit of luck and I watched the application tries to load and find nothing has. I think it started after an automatic Windows Update (although I have that turned off, it still works, of course).
To see what is going to happen, I uninstalled the video look at an application to ensure that nothing in putting in place this program which has been the problem and now a Windows Search window opens when you double-click on any given folder!
Any ideas on how to prevent this?

Display folder size in Windows Explorer
I try to get the size of the folder to display in the details pane in Windows Explorer (on Vista). When I had Windows XP (Professional edition), it would appear that there, but not with Vista. Under XP I could just click on a folder and the size of the folder would be in the details pane, but Vista does not do that. (The only downside was that the size of subfolders was not included here, that the size of individual files in this folder; but just expand the folder in the navigation and then clicking on each subfolder, I might understand this.) I'll be leaving my office soon and want to have an idea of the size of the files I want to carry around with me (and how many CD, I might have need - can use keys USB memory on the system of Government) when I go. I looked through Windows help, but I can't find the answer to this question. Anyone?
Right-click on the folder and click Properties and it will show you the number of files, the number of cases, the sizes of these each and other details. You can also hover your mouse on the file and it will show the tooltips which include the EIS (but not so much information as properties).
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

What is the title of the NOTE column in Windows Explorer?
What is the title of the NOTE column in Windows Explorer?
Am using Vista Home Premium, I understand that there are 6 models folder in Vista Type; photography and videos and music details templates have the column nominal position, (1) what is it for, (2) can I use it for photos of rates or documents, if so how?Hi 5466,
Thanks for your replies.
Vista has characteristics of property for files in folders that you might be able to carry out some sort of system that allows you to know your staff for the file that you place in the folder.
There isn't a download from Microsoft which has the attribute that you speak of to allow the classification of Word documents. Information online about this process does not specifically address the attribute you have written in to place the dimension on the record.
Here is a possible work around you
When you view them documents in the folder, they are placed, check Details of the menu view is marked.
Then in the file that is created, right click and select Properties, in the TAG field type a general comment as '5 stars' or one who would submit to you the rating desired - in this field of the Details tab of the properties as Judd had suggested in a previous post. You can use this field to record the files you have chosen personally.
Of course it's all a work around, but please let us know if this helps you.
Kind regards

Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update

Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
each installation.Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install

in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as

Add the "Print Directory Listing" option to the context menu of Windows Explorer
Get the error message when you try to use the "Print Directory Listing" solution found in:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321379/en-us on my new Windows 7 system (from February 2010).Could create the context menu of Windows Explorer for the task, but selecting just results in the following error message:
"This file doesn't have an associatd with her program to perform this action. Please install a program or... to create an association in the default programs control panel. »
Wentback and checked my Regedit work. Even deleted the new key and she recreated (just in case.)
NOTE: I had successfully used the instructions in this article to add "Print Directory Listing features on Windows XP systems, so I reviewed these instructions to see differences and noticed that it * no. * 'associate' step for Vista/Win7 in the article, but this step still shown for XP.»
And, there seems to be NO WAY to associate a program (in this case, a ".bat") with all of 'record' as target. Only choices I see these in the 'control panel default programs ' are'. [extensions] "and the protocols.
So I'm puzzled.
Any help would be appreciated.
SJ Pratt
I just tried this with instructions to the http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321379/en-us link you provided and it worked fine.
In view of the error you get here are my assumptions to what may be the problem. Please try these out and answer:
-Because it denounces, "file doesn't have an associated program.." I would make sure that when you created with Notepad the file .bat you na not to create a file called 'Printdir.bat.txt' or 'Printdir.bat.some_bad_extension '. If your Windows Explorer settings are set to hide file extensions when you look at a file name, then maybe the REAL file extension you give the command file is being hidden on your part and Windows does not know how to open a file with the extension hidden type. Make sure that you can see all the file extensions and make sure that the batch file is named with the .bat extension.
-If you see very well all the file extensions in Windows Explorer and your file is called really Printdir.bat, make sure that you have saved in your root directory of Windows. If you access %windir% you see Printdir.bat inside there? If this isn't the case, put it there. If you do, when you double-click the .bat file Windows run without error and print the dir? If it works, you know that the batch file works correctly.
-There's a typing error in the instructions for Vista/Windows 7, check that your registry entries look like this:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Print directory Listing\command
This shows the new key under shell called "Print Directory Listing" and inside this key/folder another folder/key named "command".
To within the key/folder 'command', it takes only one entrance with the name of (by default). Double-click (default) and make sure that its value data is set to:
Printdir.bat %1
-You shouldn't need step "the associate" in Windows 7.
-You can add "Add Print Directory Listing to the context menu of Windows Explorer" for the title of your question so that others can find it.

Hi, I tried the workaround solution where you enter "%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe: {20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}" in the target. However, this doesn't seem to be a full working solution because it creates an instance of "explorer.exe" whenever you access. I want a solution that allows me to open the 'Workstation' of the taskbar that creates instances fallacious "explorer.exe" (it should stay onlya singleinstance of explorer.exe).
BTW, no, I don't want to pin 'my computer' icon so I have to hover over windows Explorer and then proceed to my computer. I want the default location in Windows Explorer my computer and no libraries (which had the idea to do this? this person is a fool, because the majority of people never use libraries)

Another alternative - using a VBScript script to launch my folder on the computer.
Copy these lines into Notepad and save the file as "MyComputer.vbs".
Set objShell = CreateObject
objShell.ShellExecute "shell: MyComputerFolder ', ' ', ' ', 'open', 1Create a shortcut to the script including the full path, as below:
C:\Windows\System32\wscript.exe "D:\MyScripts\MyComp.vbs."
Change the shortcut icon, and then PIN to the taskbar.
How is it a better alternative?
The script takes 3K of memory (max) and duly ends after launching the folder desktop. It's better than the original situation where each instance explorer.exe taking 20 + K of memory and not end automatically.

Several unsuccessful attempts to open the PDF file in Windows Explorer by double-clicking
Hello
My system configuration: Windows 7 SP1 x 64 Adobe Reader 11.0.10.32.
By double clicking on the PDF file or try to open with Adobe Reader IX in the menu shortcut in Windows Explorer or any other file manager, the software Adobe Reader opens only after a few attempts. At each attempt the AcroRd32.exe process arises. And after a few attempts, the file opens. As a result, I see several empty AcroRd32.exe process in the Task Manager, each have about 4000 KB of RAM and the only open file. I have to kill these empty process manually, because they are not dead before closing the window of Adobe Reader.
I found the same problem on another PC with the same configuration.
Best,
Alexei
Hi Alexis,.
Could you please let me know for how long did you face this problem.
Open the TEMP folder (press Windows + R and type %temp%) and delete all the files inside.
This happens with any specific PDF or all PDFs?
You can try to disable the Safe_mode opening drive then go to ' Edit > Preferences > (protection)»
Let me know how it goes.

I have been using Windows XP for a while. I am always connected in Windows Explorer through the icon 'Butterfly '. Never interested in Internet Explorer - too cluttered screen. I have several files in Windows Explorer and virtually none in Internet Explorer 8. How can I find the Favorites file
Windows Explorer so I can import them from a new laptop with Windows 7? There, not too many people who understand what I'm saying
Tommy,
You've done a good job answering my question. Somehow, and I don't know how I did it I accidentally erased all the favourites I had accumulated for quite some time. I have not found these missing Favorites in the trash that is where I would have expected to have. But that's another story and not a good thing. I have so appreciated your efforts and I hope at some point I can get these favorites - wherever they are now.
Sincerely,
