Opening of more than 15 files with Windows Explorer does not work.
Under XP, I used to be able to open several files in Notepad, at the same time. Now with Windows 7, I am limited to 15. Is there a way to make Windows 7 behave like XP in this regard?
This is incorrect. There is always a way, here is the solution: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2022295/

Hi Nicolas,.
I appreciate your efforts to solve the problem.
I suggest you try the procedure described in the article and see if it helps.
Error: Windows Explorer has stopped working
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2694911/en-usNote:
1) data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means there is a risk of data loss.2) after the boot minimum troubleshooting step, read the sections "How to reset the computer to start as usual after a clean boot troubleshooting" in the link provided to return the computer to a Normal startup mode.
3) when you do the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.
4) note that it takes as much time to do the upgrade as to reinstall the operating system. In addition, some of your custom Windows settings may be lost through this process.
Hope this information helps. Answer the post with an up-to-date issue report to help you further.

Search for content of a file in Windows 7 does not work. What I am doing wrong?
I read a bunch of messages on this website, as well as others, on the way to search for content in a file. I followed the instructions, but it does not work for me.
As I understand it, if I'm looking for a file containing the word 'pelican', I must type
content: "Pelican".
It does not work.
I also read that it speeds up the search if I turn on indexing. This is not feasible because there is more than 4 TB with a value of files on my company's server and indexing is apparently intended to apply only to files that are frequently used in areas that are frequently used.
I guess I'm doing something wrong, because I've seen post this question even others and tell then the answer has worked for them, but it does not work for me.
Any help would be appreciated.
Just type Pelican in fact, content: is not necessary.
If you do not want to reserve a site indexed, there is an option that you can set to make a slow files manual scan (although it might take hours or days or weeks for the search engine to open and analyze inside 4 TB with a value of files over a slow network connection. I hope that the server is indexing on, even if you do not have. If this isn't the case, you'll be sorely out of luck.

Hello
You did changes to the computer before the show?
Method 1: Safe Mode and clean boot
Check if the problem persists in safe mode. If the problem persists not in safe mode and check if the problem persists in the boot.
Step 1: Safe Mode
Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed.
See the following site:
Start your computer in safe mode
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Start-your-computer-in-safe-mode.
Step 2: Clean boot
When the computer starts to boot, programs non-Microsoft will not be started and would avoid any interruption of their share.
Check out the link:
How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.
Note: once you are done with the boot, follow step 7 of article to reset your computer to normal startup.
Note: If in case you are connected through a wireless connection and then when you start the System Configuration utility to perform the clean boot, click Startup and Services tab one time and check see topic wireless are turned on (Enabled).
Method 2: Perform a virus scan by using the Microsoft Safety Scanner
Analyze the computer to remove all possible malicious content.
See the following site:
Microsoft safety scanner
http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx.
Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.
Method 3: Auditor of the filesystem (SFC) Scan
SFC scan will find all missing or incorrect system files and repairs them.
