Select the simple click expand in the Windows 7 Explorer to win.

On my XP system files tree extend downwards when I selected a folder that had subfolders inside instead of having to rely on the system.  How do activate you this option to Windows Explorer in Windows 7 If you don't have to click on the > symbol?

Hi Stackhouse,

Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

You must expand the tree first and then do the following.

1. open the windows Explorer.

2. expand and click on Tools folder options -->

3 in the navigation pane, select the check box to display all records and extend automatically to the current foldedr and click ok

  • The Windows 7 Explorer reads 4096 bytes of files with FILE_ATTRIBUTE_OFFLINE

    Hi all!

    After installation: Windows 7 as an SMB client. Plan sharing SMB like, say, Z: and use the Windows 7 Explorer to browse a directory in the share. It looks like Windows Explorer bed the first each file 4096 bytes, even files that have the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_OFFLINE set (these files have the attribute set "O").

    My understanding of FILE_ATTRIBUTE_OFFLINE is that the file is not available immediately, for example, because it is stored in a hierarchical storage management system and read on this file may result in access to, say, bands. Of course, you don't want to trigger several tape media, just because you browse a directory.

    So my question is: is it considered "working as intended" that Windows 7 Explorer reads the first 4096 bytes of each file (especially those who have defined FILE_ATTRIBUTE_OFFLINE) when I browse a directory (at least if I browse it for the first time) or should Explorer honor FILE_ATTRIBUTE_OFFLINE and not read these files?

    If Explorer works as expected, is there a way to change this behavior?

  • Running the version of the Windows XP Explorer in Vista

    I would like to use the version of the Windows Explorer in XP to Vista. It was much simpler sort files into folders by creation date, size, etc.

    Hello wwolverton,

    Thank you for visiting the website of Microsoft Windows Vista Community.

    Try after step in this article there is an option

    Using the files in the Panel Options, you can change how work your files and folders, as well as the display of the content in your folders.

    Open the Options folder by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, appearance and personalization, and then clicking Folder Options.

    Change the mode of display folders

    You can change the way your folders look and strive to meet your needs. For example, you can open all files and folders with a single click (for example, links in a Web page) instead of the usual double-click. Here is an overview of the settings that you can change:

    TO

    To do this

    Apply the settings of the current view (for example, list, details, or large icons) to all folders on your computer that are the same type as the folder that you have currently open. (Documents and details of the music are examples of file types).

    In the file that is currently open, click on organize on the toolbar and then click folder and Search Options.

    In Folder Options, click the view tab, and then click on apply to records. (To switch these folders back to their)

    settings by default, click Reset Folders)

    Turn off the preview pane and the details pane in all folders. This setting gives you more space to view the files by hiding the components that you do not have.

    Click the general tab and then click on use Windows classic folders. (To re-enable the components, click filters and preview.)

    Open each new folder in its own folder window. This can be handy if you want to keep all the files you are working on the screen at the same time.

    Click the general tab and then click on open each folder in its own window. (To make each new folder replace the previous folder window, click on open each folder in the same window.)

    Open an item with one click. Use this setting if you want the files and folders to open with a single click, just like links on a Web page.

    Click the general tab, and then click single-click to open an item. (To return to the standard click, click double-click to open an item.)

    To restore the behavior of origin of your files, click the general tab, and then click default settings.

  • Where can I find the Windows Media Player for WIN 7 Pro 32 Bit?

    My windows media player will not open. I upgraded from Windows 7 starter to windows 7 Professional recently. I have windows 7 32-bit professional. I tried to use the 64-bit (this is all that is available on the windows site, but my computer says this is not the right program and will not install it.) Where can I find the WMP for WIN 7 Pro 32 Bit?

    Unless you have an "N" of Windows 7 edition, you must have Windows Media Player. If you have an "N" edition, please visit:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/is-is/Windows7/products/what-is-Windows-7-N-Edition

    For more details and a download link.

    The case, first try to find the executable file for Windows Media Player and create a new shortcut from that.

    1. open Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer).

    2. navigate to:

    C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player

    3. find the file named wmplayer.exe and then right-click on it and create a shortcut on the desktop.

    4. test the shortcut.

    If the above does not work, try:

    1. click on Start (lower-left) and then on Control Panel.

    2. click on programs and features.

    3. on the left side of the screen, click on 'Windows turn features on or off".

    4. look for the entry called multimedia features, expand it, and then *check the box next to Windows Media Player.

    5. click on OK.

    6. restart the PC.

    * If the Windows Media Player box is already checked, uncheck the box , click OK, restart your PC, then do steps 1-6 above.

  • Game type "not specified" remove the Windows 7 Explorer game.

    I've seen several forums around this subject, but none of them does not solve my problem.  I have a file in my Games Explorer classified as a type of file "not specified."  I went through several records, including "C:/users / AppData/local/Microsoft/Windows/Game Explorer' and 'C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\GameExplorer' that do not contain the file I want to delete.  Nothing comes up when I right click on icon, either.

    I found a forum with a link which has been said to have the solution, but the page just says "Service unavailable" page was:

    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/42496-Games-Explorer-folder-delete-game.html

    If anyone happens to recognize this URL, it would be great if you could tell me what he said, except that I'm open to suggestions on other ways to get rid of this icon.

    System Restore solved the problem, I just had to try several times until I got just restore point where the icon has disappeared, but it didn't remove all the others either.  Now the icons under the tabs of Internet Explore are all screwed up (icons wrong showing upwards to the wrong sites), but I suspect that will disappear in time, otherwise I can reinstall IE.

    For those of you who read this message and to use steam, never, NEVER put a shortcut to one of the steam games in the Games Explorer. It won't work, it will take place.

  • The Windows 7 Explorer freezes when moving files or when I right click a file in my computer, I think it's because of the size.

    It is not malware, etc., or what you guys proposed previously.  I think that Windows is trying to display a preview of the file, and this should not be happening if it slows me down so much!

  • Change the option of folder icon available in the right-click context menu in Windows 7 Explorer

    Hello:

    I want to be able to change the icon of a folder in the "context of the folder right-click menu' (as other choice such as: copy, paste, rename, etc.) instead of having to navigate to-> propierties of the folder-> customize-> change icon.

    Is it possible to add this option via regedit?

    Thank you!

    Hi Soul-Hunter,

    You will not be able to add the ability to change the icon of the folder by right click of the mouse and you can add that to the right click menu, this is normal.

    However, if you want to make a right click on the folder and change the folder icon, follow the steps:

    1. right click on the folder that you want to change the icon.

    2. click on properties.

    3. click on the Customize tab and click on Edit button icon under the folder icon option.

  • The Windows 7 Explorer displays the file as empty but empty folder properties is not

    Hello, I'm trying to delete empty folders from my computer. I am running Windows 7 Professional, and my user account is an administrator and the user account only on the computer.

    When I use Windows Exlporer to navigate to the folder, it seems empty: "this folder is empty". But if I navigate back to the parent and then right-click on the folder and select properties it shows: "contains: 1 file, 0 folders" or for some records: "Contains: 2 files, 0 folders. Even when I run on the DIR of CMD file.

    I have hidden files and folders checked to display and I have checked that I am the owner of the folder.

    Any ideas?

    One more step. I found another option in Windows Explorer: "Hide protected files of the operating system (recommended)". Just in case where you need help to find this option:

    1. Open Windows Explorer
    2. If not display the menu (file, edition, view, tools, help) options, click ALT
    3. Click on tools
    4. Select folder options...
    5. Click the view tab
    6. Untick: Hide the protected files (recommended) operating system

    You can now see and search for files hidden, protected from the operating systems such as Thumbs.db.

    I use fast empty folder of http://listeningpc.com Finder to find and remove empty folders.

    Hope this helps someone else.

  • Search using the Windows 7 Explorer

    Successfully, I searched and found a file in my file system. But the search engine does not tell me where the file is located. How do I know where the file is located, so I'll know where it is (and possibly move it elsewhere) and won't have to search each time.

    If you right-click on the file and click Properties on the menu that appears, you will see location information about a third of the way down on the box that appears.  You can also click on 'place to open the file' to get to the scene.  The search results window can also be customized with columns of information to your liking.  If you perform a search and then right click on any column heading, you can click to choose "folder path".  If you click on more at the bottom of the menu after right, you can choose from a long list of information.
