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?

  • How to open the tv DVD in Windows Explorer?

    I recorded a TV show using my DVD recorder.  The show plays on my Windows 7 computer.  In my Vista Home Premium box Windows Explorer cannot open files and some program wants to burn or format sees it as a blank disc.  How can I make the Vista box open the files on the DVD disc?

    Look here for information on the Microsoft Web site:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/troubleshoot-problems-with-creating-a-DVD-video-using-Windows-DVD-Maker

    You do not have the correct codecs installed on your Windows Vista-based computer.

    To determine what codec was used with a specific file, play the file in the player, if possible. When the file is playing, right-click the file in the library, and then click Properties. On the file tab, look at the sections of video codec and Audio codec.

    Or you can use a non-Microsoft codec identification tool. Many are available on the Internet.

    I hope this helps.

  • Images do not appear in the preview pane in Windows Explorer under certain conditions

    I use Win 7 Prof - under Display Options in Windows Explorer, I have pictures (not "icons"). The pane is open.

    If I open a folder in Windows Explorer by double clicking the folder icon on the desktop, the preview pane works very well, showing the content of the image.  However if I navigate to a folder by using the folder tree pane in the Explorer Win itself, the preview pane does not display the pictures when you click on the image file.

    However, this problem occurs only for photos, as there is no problem of visualization of the contents of other files, such as Word, Excel, PDF, etc.

    Thanks for your advice. However, as a result of someone of another tip, I restarted in safe mode, and then again in Normal mode and the problem disappeared.

    What was the problem, I don't know, but it can help someone else, if the race in the same thing.

    Kind regards.

  • RH8, using AIR - any way to increase the filling in the right pane?

    Hi all

    My client wants to try the help format of the AIR for the next version of their product. Currently, they distribute as a. chm. The only annoying problem that I run in after the upgrade to RH8 and build using AIR is that when the topics appear in the right pane, there is not enough space (padding) on the left side. The text is jammed against the bar of division between the left and right panes. This isn't a problem if I compile as a. chm.

    I use a template (template) for all subjects, and although I tried to adjust the left margin workaround, the existing rubrics do not pick up this change (even though I place temporarily allows them to use a different master page and then come back). Other solutions or workarounds are appreciated!

    Thank you

  • By clicking on comment on the page, it shows at the end of the list of comments in the right pane

    Hello

    It's hard to explain, so I'll do my best:

    Each comment that appears on the page, also appears on a list of the comments pane on the right.

    Sometimes, in the XI of Acrobat, I used to click on the comment on the page, then it will appear at the top of the list in the right pane it scrolling upward.

    Now, Acrobat DC, when we click on the comment on the page, it appears last on the list of comment in the right pane.

    This can be changed?

    all the best,

    Shlomit

    Hi Shlomit,

    I'm sorry to say this, but there is no such customizable comment setting in Acrobat DC.

    Kind regards

    Hi GloriaZF,

    What is the size of your external hard drive and what is the available free space? Open my computer-> right click on the external hard drive-> properties. You will not be able to copy more data if the disk is full, or who have less space compared to the size of the file you are trying to copy.

    You need to remove the order data to make the space more. Deleted data from the device USB will be permanently deleted and will not be stored in your Inbox, so take care while eliminating unnecessary data.

    I hope this helps.
