Search for the file Explorer: Windows 7

I know that I am probably post again a question has been asked hundreds of times before... But the research question of Windows 7 even been taken down like a real fault? There is no other way I can see to ask this question outside not be re-directed to a forum looking for answers, then see frustration of countless other users, so I put back on with a new post.

I wrote a test and training post to possibly one of the largest universities in the United Kingdom and my role of testing software noting flaws and then decide whether it should be rolled out and then reap the benefits of its use.

All other packages had small defects but none of which has a few advantages outweigh

I literally user acceptance tested search to death and read dozens of user help guides on indexing. The more generic computer users is the admin rights/time/support or the know how to do that on a large number of readers huge network.

In short, I guess the question I ask is when users want to find a file by name, why they are not getting the results they are looking for and if it is a question of indexation why?

Help me to Microsoft, you're my only hope.

Search has changed over the years. Modern versions of Windows have so many files that the default search will filter all files it think users don't want to see. It works fine most of the time, but if a user starts using non-standard file types can cause an immense amount of frustration.

It is always nice to have alternatives to the risk of re - direct you once again here is even more:
I can restore the search for style XP to Windows 7?

  • Look a DNG in the file Explorer Windows 8.1 as the image thumbnails... How to proceed?

    Does anyone know why you can't display RAW .dng thumbnails of image files in the file Explorer Windows 8.1 even with the Microsoft Camera Codec Pack installed.

    Other RAW files appear as thumbnails without problem (e.g. Nikon. NEF files). I could see dng thumbnails in Windows 7, but not with Windows 8.1. Perhaps, Adobe did not share the appropriate information. for Microsoft to get there?

    See if you know how to see the dng thumbnails and can help me to do the same.

    Hi Jack,

    This driver belongs to AsIO.sys Asus Probe. Try to uninstall Asus Probe and if you need, install again. If this does not help, uninstall Asus Probe and other tools of control such as Speedfan. Open the registry (regedit.exe) editor and search for AsIO.sys and remove all the entries that you can find.

  • 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.

    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.

    There is no keyboard shortcut command in Vista to make appear this http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Keyboard-shortcutsfile browser.  I could not find any reference to the file anywhere Explorer (not not even Microsoft if you say ITI carried the logo).-I don't think it comes with Vista (even though it may have carried over from earlier versions if you upgraded to Vista).  Maybe you have installed other software that provides this feature but I have no idea how recrete it or access it.

    Try going to start / find and grabs the file browser and see if you get hits.

    In the case otherwise, you'll just have to hope make you this soul "error" again, but this time realize what you were doing, so you can access it again.

  • Search for the file size, Date & content

    It was SO easy to do the above in Windows XP and Vista. Someone please explain step by step in detail how everything above at the same time? For example, to find my entire PC (indexed and unindexed files) to a file greater than 1 MB, created or modified after March 10, 2010 and with the word 'blackie' in the content of the file, not the name.

    OUgrad,

    You can use these search filters in the local disk C to search all the C drive:

    modified:03/10/10

    for size, you can type Dimensions: then click on wide for files larger than 1 MB or size: > = 1 MB.

    Content in a document is automatically searched, but if you want to specify, you can type content:

    You can put all of these together filters to customize your search. You will know if it is correct to filtering because it will turn blue.

  • Search for the file titles-do, anyone else back?

    Recently, I was forced to spend 10.6 to 10.11.5 by the death of my Mac mini and buy a new one. Suddenly, I find that I can get just about all of the content of the files. The search option on the right securities disappeared. I have thousands of files that are PDF files or links to research papers. Before I could remember a title keyword and get a few files with a search, which one would be what I wanted. Now, I have search on a keyword and get hundreds or thousands of files, most of which have nothing to do with what I want. A search that returns a large fraction of the files on the hard disk is essentially useless. Why Apple think removal of features is progress? My experience over the years is that the main objective of the new versions of the OS is to screw until they had right before.

    Press Command-F key combination in the Finder to open a search window. Enter the search criteria you like.

  • Search for the file in comments

    Unless I'm doing something wrong here, it looks like to the integrated the 'Check file in prompt' WF, only checks the local disks of the guest. Does anyone have the code or a Scriptable task that can check a file on a remote Windows Server (by UNC or after I mapped the drive) thanks Dudes!

    OK, had this work by adding a second variable on the local disk. For example

    V:\\MYfile

    D:\\Myfile

    and the call to the D:\\ variable when you run the file "check in prompt" works very well!

  • Which folder search to search for the file .exe for Camera Raw in 12 items?

    I expect with live Camera Bits Photo Mechanic to lead the Olympus ORF files will automatically open in items 12 Camera Raw. to do this, I need to direct Photo Mechanic to the raw camera .exe file in the elements. Where can I find the folder that contains this plugin? It is not in any folder labeled 'plugin '.

    So here's what happened and how it was resolved. Elements was initially do not recognize the file type when you try to make the transfer of Photo Mechanic, while the camera raw feature to open the file if I do drag and drop an individual elements file directly, bypassing the Photo Mechanic. So I thought once I found the executable file in the elements camera raw, all I had to do was link in the preferences of Photo Mechanic. That's when I posted this query. Somewhere along the way, once I had observed that the raw function of the device elements would open the file directly, I discovered by accident that at the close of the elements, Photo Mechanic could pass successfully the Olympus ORF file and once the elements has reopened, could directly receive the image of Photo Mechanic. While not particularly a problem for a satisfactory resolution of problems-wise, I'm happy. So thank you for your kind attention.

  • The search for PDF files

    In Windows XP, when I go to 'Start' in the 'search' and specify a word in the name of the file and then highlight that it is a PDF file I'm looking for, it is unable to locate the file. I know that the file is there. Why is this happening?

    WHERE you 'to highlight that it is a PDF file?  I don't see this option in the SEARCH on my XP SP3 System.

    Assuming you start from START - SEARCH - for the FILES or FOLDERS - all THE FILES AND FOLDERS, you must then fill the box 'All or part of the name of the file', and then may set at glance if you want to restrict the search and finally click FIND.

    If you do not have a lot of pdf files on your system, you might consider simply using PDF as the 'part of the name of the file' and let Windows find all your pdf files.

  • FTP - open the site in question from the file Explorer.

    Hi all

    I am here today with a common question, which seems to have been answered several times, but none of the above worked for me.

    My problem is the following:

    • http://prntscr.com/39ebdv

    It's my current installation:

    • Ubuntu Server running 12.04 with installed ProFTPd.
    • Windows 7 computer (desktop) and laptop.
    • Windows File Explorer.

    Here's what I tested, and what are the results I get:

    On my two main computers, each running Windows 7, I get the image displayed above. (For those of you who cannot see the image, there are a stain on the bottom of this question). However, I tried it on two other computers in my LAN, and they work. I also tried on a computer in a different city, and it works. My FTP address is the following: "ftp://ftp.marshalldrive.ca" without the quotes.

    Here are some solutions I've tried:

    1. with the help of Internet Explorer (my current browser is Google Chrome), pressing 'Alt - view-> in the file Explorer view', I get the error displayed.

    2. turn off my firewall and my anti-virus, same results.

    3. go to the file Explorer Windows and in the address bar: "ftp://ftp.marshalldrive.ca" (without the quotes)

    4 import a registry that looks like this: http://prntscr.com/39ee2j (code shown below), using the above, didn't work.

    5. copy of the record of one of the other computers to work.

    6. release of Google Chrome and using IE.

    That's all.

    When you use the browser (IE, GC, PSC), I can type in ftp://ftp.marshalldrive.ca, and it works. However, it does not work when I try to display in the folder view. I get the above error.

    Why am I trying to do?

    -I know FileZilla exists and many others. I like the simple layout of the windows Explorer, and it is easier for the elderly to use to use F.Z. I also prefer not having to install anything and using the built-in module.

    IF anyone can help me I can help you in return. I am creating a file storage system, and I can give you free space on my server.
