Portable Windows 8, broken File Explorer

• What happened with the right button of the feature in Windows 7 (for file Explorer, Office aps, etc.)

  Click right feature has been removed from Windows 7.  I tried the upgrades of Windows 10 twice and had to go back to Windows 7.  Now MS is the removal of the features of Windows 7.  They do not meet requests for information about this either.

  Sorry to bother everyone on the right click.  It was due to a problem with the mouse.  I have concluded that, when the old mouse would not work under remote connection to my Windows XP system. I found another mouse that works very well for all of my operating systems.

  Thank you.

• After running PC Refresh on Windows 8 lost files

  * Original title: critical lost files after update PC on Windows 8 - not in the Windows.old folder, so what is the best way to get back them?

  Initially, I had a problem whenever my phone wanted to do an update. It takes 30 minutes for the update and then I would get an error saying updates could not be performed changes recovery. I called the helpline PC came with my computer. After a few here to get the update to work, they told me that they will have to perform a PC Refresh. I was told that I would not lose any of my personal files, photos, docs, etc... I did it. At first, it seemed everything was ok except when I went to access some files that belong to a photo software I use.

  I knew that my software 'Panstoria' would have been lost, but I wasn't expecting the files I have access through it to lose. When I reloaded Panstoria I couldn't find the files I acceding known for 'My leap' software, which file name is manifest.vaultx. This software allows me to label photos, file in categories, journal etc. Again, I didn't know all this has been a problem because the software States very clearly that all of your photos and other are not saved in the software but rather your documents... then I thought about updating PC would be ok... turns out NOT. I can't find "repository"My"in the documents. I have even returned to the folder Windows.old and they cannot find.

  My questions are these: what is the best way to try to recover the files? If I do a system restore which will bring back all the documents as they were before the update? A system restore would return all users that may have been changed as well?  I'm just sick to my stomach that I can't find the file because it is the last 20 years of pictures and videos of my family and if I can't get these back I lost all my memories :-(

  Hello

   
  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.
   

  According to the description of the problem, I understand that, after the system update, you've lost critical files.

  I imagine how it could be frustrating when losing essential data from the computer.

   
  To better understand this issue, I would like to know the following information:
   
  1. What is the brand and model of the computer?
  2 do you have him comes preinstalled with Windows 8 computer or you have upgraded the Windows 8 of the older operating system such as Windows 7?
  3. you receive an error message when you try to access these files from the Panstoria software?
  4. where these files saved locally on the computer, as well as my safe?
  5 did you cooling system or the system restore?
   

  First of all, I would like to inform you that if you this execution of a cooling system, would not create a Windows.old folder.

  The Windows.Old folder is generated when you perform a customized Windows installation. The files that were used in the earlier version of Windows are stored in the Windows.Old folder.

   
  Perform the refresh of the system: Applications that you have installed Web sites and DVD is deleted. The applications provided with your PC and applications that you have installed in the Windows store will be resettled. Windows puts a list of apps removed on your desktop after you refresh your PC.
  Follow the article below to know what are the powerful effects of cooling system.
   
  Refer to: refresh your PC without your files
  You can refresh your PC without delete all of your personal files or change your settings.

  I suggest you look for missing files on your computer, by referring to the article below.

  Search for files in file Explorer
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/search-file-Explorer
  Note: You can search for files in file Explorer using the search box next to the address bar in top right. (Note that my computer has been renamed to this PC in the file Explorer in Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1).

  If you are unable to recover the missing files, I suggest you check once in the trash.

  If you are able to find the files in the trash, I suggest you to restore files from the Recycle Bin.
  My safe also stores the image files.
  Refer to WHAT PEOPLE ON MY safe STORE:

• FILE EXPLORER Windows 10 does not work

  I upgraded from windows 7 Home Windows 10. Everything worked for three months. Now my file manager does not work. If I double click on a shortcut, nothing happens. No message or errors, no feedback at all. If I select file from the menu 10 windows Explorer it lists recent locations, but if I click on anything that it is once more the window closes and no feedback of any kind. To access my files, I have to go well as the search for application files. Is no more, I can add folders or improve my organization of files. Of course he used to work so I guess it has become corrupt. What do we do to fix this problem, I see, it is a common problem in looking at the forums for microsoft, but no one said a suggested fix worked.

• French names for applications 'Windows Explorer' and 'File Explorer '?

  I'm updating documentation and noticed that "Windows Explorer" (win7) and 'File Explorer' (win8) are mentioned in the French translations.

  When you use the french language pack, these applications use the English names, or is there the French names for them?
  Thank you.

  Hey,.

  -Are what documents you referring? Personal work or associated Windows?

  -What version of Windows is installed on your computer? Is - this Windows 7 or Windows 8?

  If you have installed the French language pack, then some of the applications (Windows 8) will be displayed with the french names and rest will appear in English because the version of Windows installed on the computer will be in English. If you have installed the version French of Windows, then the interface of Windows will be in french, and if you add an English language pack, then some of the apps will appear in English.

  So, if you don't want the french names on applications, then please check the language packs installed (and the current language pack used) and change it to English.

• File Explorer Windows 7 shows a non-empty folder in a vacuum.

  Here's a question that I have no idea how to fix on a Home Premium Windows 7 box. I copied 110 GB of data in a folder named "c:\old disks" earlier. All files where showing well after the copy was completed. Then a few months later, I noticed that I no longer see these files inside this folder in the file Explorer. When I get home, the Explorer displays message "this folder is empty" in the files Panel. The verification of the drive, set all Full permissions and made all the accessible files writable. No go! At the command prompt, I can navigate the tree of directories very well, see all of the files, their sizes, etc.. Watch File Explorer also, that the record is 110 GB in size. So clearly it is not empty. It shows again, no file or directory inside. Please indicate how I can activate the file Explorer view the contents of this folder? I've never seen this problem before on all versions of Windows OS, I can't find much info related to this problem on the net.

  Thank you very much

  I initially reported above. Since then, I solved the problem by going to the command line and the removal of an attribute hidden on all files in this folder tree. All files have shown right after this process completed.

  If memory serves, the command line in my case has been
  H + a "disks c:\old" ATTRIB / s

  To be honest I have to say that I tried all the suggestions in the present and similar threads on this issue, related to the permissions as well. Not sure whether that contributed to the outcome, but the command line above was what finally brought everything back to life.

  I hope this works for others,

• In Windows 7, I wonder how I can delete my history folder in the file Explorer window. There are folders there appears no longer exist.

  Looking at my history of folder in Windows 7, I see some files that no longer exist on my PC, but still appear in my story.  I would like to know how to get rid of them.  I tried to look in the internet options, as deleting the history of IE is the closest thing to you that I could find, but there is nothing there to affect the file Explorer.  Also, I couldn't find anything in the folder for this options.

  Hi DaNorm,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.

  Go to the following location on your computer and delete the contents of the historical record. And then check if your problem is resolved.

  C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\History

  AppData is a hidden folder, so you will need to follow the steps below to view it.

  1. Click Start and then click computer.

  2. click on tools (if you are unable to see Tools option, and then press the ALT key on the keyboard).

  3. Select folder options.

  4. on the view tab, select Show hidden files and folders (in advanced settings)

  5. now click on the Ok button.

• Why don't c:\users\attrib h 'All Users' changing the directory to all users so that it displays in the file Explorer? Same thing with %APPDATA%\microsoft\windows\sendto and ProgramData directories?

  Hello

  In Windows 7, the AllUsers folder is not a real file.

  It is a symbolic link that redirects to the C:\ProgramData folder.

  ProgramData is not hidden, by default.

  The correct syntax for the Attrib command would be,

  C:\>attrib h ProgramData

  You can view all files by going to the tab options\View Organize\Folder and research.

  In the section files and hidden files , place a check mark in the Show drives, folders and hidden files.

• How to stop the exploitation of windows 8 pro administrator privileges File Explorer

  Security of Norton had a problem activating.  I called Norton.  The tech support agent took control of my computer.  Norton was uninstalled and reinstalled.  The task has been completed as an administrator.  Norton was asked to enter a PIN activate.  Asked me to call Qwest to get the PIN.  Norton comes as a package with CenturyLink DSL.  The tech support agent uninstalled both Qwest and Norton to reinstall both at the same time.  My computer was working fine.  The next morning at startup, I got a message that said: File Explorer is running for administrator privileges.  Restart the Explorer of files normally and try again.  I can't find how to do this.

  I had exactly the same problem, and it's super easy.

  1. press Ctrl + SHIFT + ESC. This opens the Task Manager.

  2. scroll and click on Windows Explorer.

  3. click on restart.

  That's all there is to it!

• Windows 8 file Explorer will not open tasks/metro UI bar more it restarts my flashes of my taskbar as if it crashed

  Whenever I click on Explorer of the taskbar or the metro UI, it restarts my taskbar and Explorer ever arises. But when I (drag and drop) or right-click and select a PIN Explorer of files in the folder / location seems to work. File Explorer seems to be very well with my other programs when opening a specific folder.

  He seemed to have solved it for me.  I went through each extension to explore one by one and off to see if it was a sub-process that is causing the violation.   Finally, I hit 'SageThumbs' an extension of image viewer that I had used on Windows 7.  It seems that it was not completely compatible with Win 8 in time so I removed it and everything what it is stable agan.   I am very surprised that explore runs in such a fashion, not secure.  If this is still happening for you, look in your shell extensions, they can be the culprit.

• File Explorer Windows 8 crashes often

  I have two new 8 PC under Windows - purchased separately, for the office and a laptop - desktop and both have the same problem with the file Explorer: fails.

  File Explorer looks incredibly unstable, that it crashes several times a day, sometimes several times after another while doing a simple copy/paste.
  The full desktop gray out and restarts.
  I don't know that there is no solution to this because I think that Windows 8 has not matured and he feels buggy Vista, but all suggestions are welcome.

  Hi PA_Rush,

  Have you installed new software that may have created a Manager right click context menu?

  By your description of the problem that the software may have been software to view the photos.

  If so, uninstall this software or disable Management menu for the context of the software.

  If you are not sure about the software the following link has some info and download ShellExView you can use to selectively disable third-party management context menus to find a problem:

  http://WindowsXP.MVPs.org/slowrightclick.htm

  You can try to disable all managers of context menus not Microsoft and then, if the problem resolves to reactivate them one at a time to see what the problem was.

• File Explorer Windows 8 crashes whenever I do a right click on the USB key.

  File Explorer Windows 8 crashes every time I do a right click on installed - everything - USB or flash key and try to choose options, such as format, rename them or properties.  Windows Explorer crashes, closed its doors, and I'm sent back to the Start Page.  This happens with any USB key, on one of the ports on my computer, which I have at least 10.

  I can left click on USB in the file Explorer, and held one still able to open or interact with any file in the USB. I can save to the USB port of any other program, and I can usually eject it in the taskbar. The only problem is I can't do a right click on the USB key and select a function without kicks back to the start page and the file Explorer is restarted.

  My version of Windows 8 is an upgrade to Windows 7.  I have already tried a restart secure, and even in this State, the accident continues.

  I had the same problem with any flash/stick/key USB on my system (64-bit) Windows 8 Pro. I started out of the blue, had not installed a new software or updates. I couid do a right-click on the drive and get the menu, but any action in the menu I chose stop and restart Windows Explorer (without any error message.) I also tried the cleanboot approach with no luck.

  The solution that worked was to move the mouse to the bottom left of the screen and right click.
  Select prompt (Admin)
  in the cmd window, type:
  sfc/scannow
  and press ENTER.
  After about 15 minutes (about 4 minutes to check and then a little more than 11 minutes waiting while he was working in the background - but it seemed frozen. My system is an i7, 16 GB of Ram, 512 GB SSD drive - so your time may vary), I received a message that some corrupt files had been repaired and some had not. The newspaper was in a txt file in C:\Windows\Logs\CBS if the log file was inaccessible. I got a popup access denied .
  I rebooted the system and everything was fine and the problem of USB has been fixed.

• Problems with files on Windows 8 to open Explorer

  Hello. I recently bought a HP Pavilion with Windows 8, and I'm unable to open Windows Explorer or the library. Whenever I click the icon pinned to the taskbar, I only get the preview of the libraries window, but it does not actually open it. In addition, whenever I try to open a file I just downloaded, Windows Explorer crashes and I have to restart. What is the problem?

  Thanks for the reply, but I fixed the problem via an update. Apparently, they sometimes configure Windows 8 to run as if you have two monitors, in order to open file Explorer, except she would open on my monitor second, non-existent. Genius, really.

• Cannot drag and drop a png file from File Explorer Windows 10 in an open file in Photoshop CS3.

  I know others who claim that they are able to cela and would appreciate any help to find the solution, if it exists, like many, many hours to research and trials have failed.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi davep91520459,

  I just installed PS CS 3 on my machine and tested, windows 7 and it seems that you can't drag and drop the image to another image in PS CS 3, it opens a new document, so I guess it is supposed to work like this, and this feature was introduced in the later version of PS.
