On the task bar of Windows Explorer post work without creating multiple instances of explorer.exe.

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', 1

Create 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.

    The same thing happened to me! This problem is probabily caused by Acer
    eDataSecurity Management. This software MUST be installed (but does not
    to be initialized or setup) so that my solution work. Open an Explorer
    window, e.g. 'computer '. Right-click on an empty spot in the menu bar. You
    should see 'Acer eDataSecurity Management' is checked. Uncheck it. Now the
    menu bar should appear and disappear with the support of the [Alt] key.

  • How can I remove the menu bar in Windows Explorer?

    I have Windows 7 (x 64). In windows Explorer, the menu bar will not go if I press ALT. Also, I went into the menu "Organize" and went to "provision". Display of the menu bar has been disabled. I even checked "View" tab in the folder options and the display of the menu bar option is disabled here also. I tried to restart, but which did not help either. So, what should I do? The menu bar that bothers me a lot. So, ill reinstall windows if I can't find a way to remove it.

    So I guess the menu bar also refused to go when you were in safe mode.  If so, it narrows at least it down to a Windows problem.  If the system is free of any software malicious then the fault lies with Windows being corrupt.

    If SFC has reported no problems then only clean boot procedures could narrow things down to the component of Windows 7 that is the cause of the problem.

    You may find that the boot is too tedious & skip to what is called an in Place Upgrade or repair installation using your installation DVD. It's better than a reinstall full as it leaves your applications & intact user files.

  • I can't hide the menu bar in windows Explorer

    This problem is only with my account, guest account works fine. I have tried all options in the folder view and even checked the registry keys, that nothing seems to work.

    Someone help the menu bar on top is really boring. I am using windows 7 Ultimate x 86

    The problem has been resolved. It happened because of the QTTadBar (who knew) after that deleting a registry value menu bar works very well.
    If anyone has this problem navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER Explorer\Toolbar\ShellBrowser registry key and delete the ITBar7Layout value

  • Remove the address bar in Windows 7 Explorer

    Hello

    I'm trying to completely remove the address bar in Windows 7 during the exploration of the files. I spent most of the day looking for a way to do this without success. I found the NoNavBar and NoAddressBar registry settings, but those that appear to work only for older versions of windows and I found a way to disable the breadcrumbs, but I want to remove the bar completely. Does anyone know of the registry tweak or the file that I needed to change it before you completely remove? In Windows XP , it's as simple as unchecking the box to the address at the top bar.

    Blessings.

    Hi Mattya2006,

    You can not delete the address bar of Windows Explorer for Windows 7, this is the design.

    You can use your favorite search engine to find any third-party tool that will help you accomplish what you want.

    Note: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • Not maximizing the task bar when you click on Windows Explorer

    When I place the mouse on the icon of the program in the taskbar Windows Explorer the small preview window/s is displayed but will not maximize in a large window.  When I click on it or right click "optimize" on the spotted, that nothing is happening.

    In fact, probably we maximize or restore, but off the screen where you can not see.  This happened to me sometimes as well.

    Try this:

    1. hold SHIFT key and right-click on the icon in the task bar (or right click on the preview you did).
    2. choose the entrance to restore if it is not gray.
    3 hold down the SHIFT key and click again on the icon in the taskbar.
    4. now, choose the entry of moving.
    5. without doing anything else, press one of the arrow keys (for example, the arrow on the left) of the keyboard.
    6. without anything click, move the mouse.  Your window should appear on the screen.
    7. click on the mouse to move the window, then you can resize or other to be where you want.

    I suspect that this is a problem in several screen of Windows 7 support, and that the window actually believes that it is off on another monitor, even if you have no other active monitor.

  • "print key" on the windows live photo gallery is hidden by the task bar, so I can't select it. How I choose it?

    "print key" on the windows live photo gallery is hidden by the task bar, so I can't select it.  How I choose it?

    Resize your window by clicking Restore button (or the - and the X in the upper right corner of the window) and drag the window to the where you can see the "print" key.  You can also minimize the window and drag it around.

    Another thing you can do is to hold the CTRL key and press the letter P.  It still works.

    I hope this helps.  Good luck.

    Windows 7 games free cell, solitary and lonely spider sparkles, everytime that I open them. A notification appears in the task bar

    as "not responding". I turned this feature of the window then on again without success. How can I solve this problem?

    Hi frankromeoRQ,

    (1) since when are you facing this problem?

    (2) remember to make changes?

    (3) is limited only to the integrated Windows 7 games?

    It is sufficient to indicate the complete error message you receive.

    Method 1: If a Protection of resources Windows (WRP) file is missing or is damaged, Windows may not behave as expected. Auditor of file system (CFS) scan to fix all of the corrupted system files. To do this, follow the steps mentioned in the link below:

    How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

    Method 2:  Put the computer to boot and then check if the problem persists

    Follow step 1 in the link below,
    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

    Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.
    After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.


    Important:
    n ' forget not to put the computer to a normal startup follow step 7 in the link.
