  Using the classic interface to restore functionality of Windows Explorer

  After you have installed the free Classic Shell , you can customize Windows Explorer more closely to how you want it, the quote below is just a way to do it. Click here to see some of the options that you can customize, and here is the FAQ page for the classic interface.

  A solution that worked for the restoration of some features.

  (1) install the free Classic shell.  It's very customizable and works like a mod for Windows Explorer rather than a full blown replacement. You need to install the classic Start Menu option, but you can if you wish.
  (2) restart the computer.
  (3) launch Windows Explorer (Start - computer) and turn on "Always show Menus" (organize - Layout - check menu bar). It's just for the configuration, you can disable it again later if you wish.
  (4) make a right click on the menu bar and turn in the "Classic Explorer bar. This adds a series of icons for cut/copy/paste in Explorer. Basically, it also adds the "Configuration" icon
  5) go to the configuration and from there you can edit things to your heart's content. To kill the horrible record-jumping 7 Windows, place you Vista in 'Style Navigation pane. You can even hit back to XP mode if you want (this adds lines to the tree of folders and adds a classic icon "+" for the expansion of folders). The Windows Vista folder display style looks about the same as the view from Windows 7, but it gets rid of the horrible blow.
  (6) adjust other settings you want.

  After that, you can activate the toolbar and menus walk back to explore if you wish. Explorer Windows seems largely the same, but folders is no longer jumping around.  Vote for Microsoft to fix this bug.

  Now if only MS allows to code correctly so that we don't have to mess with third-party applications to get Windows actually works...

• Windows Explorer: Files & grayed out after Trojan Virus deleted folders

  Lucky me some site I went to via an alert Google downloaded a virus and I had to restore my Dell PC to factory settings. In any case, I keep all my data on 2 external hard drives, so I didn't lose data on the C:\ drive.

  So, everything is 'back to normal' but one of my external hard drives, a Maxtor 3200, exploring with Windows Explorer showed no top file until I selected in Windows Explorer, the option 'To see the hidden files' - now I can see and even access to files and folders, but they are all grayed out when displayed in Windows Explorer. I reread the Maxtor and AVG shows as own. Any help is greatly appreciated!
  David

  When you choose to show hidden files, then any file or folder that is hidden will appear gray as you describe.  What you need to do is to display the files and folders.  You can do this by right-clicking the file or folder, select 'Properties' and uncheck 'hidden '.  Another method is to open a command window (start-> run-> "cmd") and use the "attrib" command to show files and folders.

• Is it possible to change the sort order of the Windows Explorer?

  When you use windows Explorer to search for files I find things I named by date are sorted incorrectly.
  Here is an example of how that fate (sorted by name, having consulted the details page): names of files in the following order

  Tidbits200710001b
  Tidbits200710001a
  Tidbits20100207a
  Tidbits20100201a
  tidbits20080300s
  tidbits20080300r

  I would like to than years (at least) to be in order.  Is it possible to change the sort order in windows Explorer?

  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/319827 :

  1. Click Start, click run, type regedit, and then click OK.
  2. Use one of the following methods, depending on your situation:
     • To configure the policy for all users of the computer, locate and then click the following registry key:
       HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
     • To configure the policy for the current user, locate and then click the following registry key:
       HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\Policies\Explorer
  3. On the Edit menu, point to newand then click DWORD value
  4. Type NoStrCmpLogical, and press ENTER.
  5. On the Edit menu, click modify.
  6. To set the order of sort that you want to use for files and folders whose names contain numerals, use one of the following methods, depending on your situation:
     • To configure Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 to use the method used by Windows 2000 for sorting files and folders, in the value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
     • To configure the default Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 method for sorting files and folders, in the value data box, type 0, and then click OK.

       Note When the NoStrCmpLogical value does not exist or it is set to 0 (zero), the Windows XP default sort order is used.

  7. Exit the registry editor and restart the computer.

  You want the first option 6.

• in my computer, I can not find folders.under and hidden files organize folder and search option is invisible

  d ' training

  First of all, you say 'My computer' and which is used with XP (Vista only use the computer).  It is a forum for Vista.  If you are using XP, please repost in the XP Forums: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/windowsxp where the people who specialize in XP issues will be more than happy to help you with your problems.

  I'll assume you are using a version of Vista.

  To display hidden files, go to start / Control Panel / folder Options / view and check the box that says show system and files hidden.  While you're at it, uncheck Hide extensions of known file types.  Click OK and you should now be able to view hidden files in Windows Explorer.

  Regarding research option goes, there are many parts of the search options and I'm not sure you mean you.  Could you please be more specific.  On what screen is it (Start menu, Windows Explorer, the search screen screen,...)?  When you say invisible do you mean you think that it is there, but just do not show or it is missing entirely?  There is an empty space where it belongs?  What's on this one where it is missing or there also as well?  When did start?  Have you installed a new software or hardware recently (maybe just before the problem started)?  Have you ever been able to find the research here, and his absence is something new?

  I hope that some of this aid and I'm waiting for your answers to these questions.

  Good luck!

• Details of music file missing in Windows Explorer

  Hi, I had my files of music for a long time, nothing has changed and I have something different in terms of music players.

  The details of my music (artist, song etc.) files disappeared in Windows Explorer, but they appear in Winamp.
  I am also unable to change file details. They are all for most .mp3 files

  When you open windows Explorer, check the option views and assign details so you should be able to see the file name, size, type, artist, Album title, year, track number and duration.
  You can open the player windows media, go to the library and check if you can change each file that are listed there.

• Windows Explorer photo views

  In Windows Explorer my image when opening folders used to display small pictures. Now, they only display the stock icons.

  Under 'View' & 'More Options', I don't see any option to get small photos.

  I have recently reinstalled Windows 7, & I think the problem started after that.

  Maybe I'm missing something in the settings or the basic settings.

  I use no photo gallery.

  I found the answer. It's for Windows 7:

  Windows Explorer\Tools\Folder Options\View ~.

  Uncheck the first line - "always show icons, never thumbnails".

  "images" now appear as small "photos."

  The menu 'More options' can still be used to increase\decrease the size of the photos posted.

  Here is a picture of the analysis of clarification;    Can someone check to see if it is installed in their computer files?  Thanks, D.Shepherd

  

  If you look in the correct folder, and use the correct file name, you would be able to find regedt32.exe:

  

  There was formerly a difference between regedit.exe and regedt32.exe but since Windows XP, when you start regedt32.exe, it ends up running regedit.exe:

  https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/141377

  So use either one you want, but whatever you choose, you're going to get regedit.exe.

  Remember that there is no cancellation or exit without saving when you use the registry editor, so it is prudent to have a strategy that if you make a mistake and your system becomes unusable (not start) when you have done, you will have a way to cancel the changes.

• Windows Explorer "option remove from this list" DOES NOT always WORK

  In Windows 7:
  When you right-click the Windows Explorer button at the bottom of the screen on the task bar, it has an option to "remove from this list. all Frequent ' point/place' that there are listed...

  I used this option during most of the items listed to clean a little bit because I don't want to see it all.

  BUT:
  I have now six items/places to the left.  I want three of them to stay.  I would like to 'Remove' the other three, but the option "Remove from this list" DOES NOT WORK!

  I tried:
  -Manually remove items/locations...   Always in the list.  So I put them back
  -Search for places objects in a windows search to see if they appeared in a file list somewhere that I could remove a manually.  No foumd.

  HOW to REMOVE THESE UNWANTED ITEMS/LOCATIONS in the list of Windows Explorer?

  Thank you.   -TomE

  NOTE: A second problem is that I couldn't use a sign less "-" to exclude elements of my research, when I used Windows Search.  I tried to use '-internet "to exclude references to Internet Explorer.  It did not work.  There for me in the past.

  In the privacy section, remove the check mark from the option "store and displayrecently open items in the Start Menu and the taskbar" . CLIck apply/OK.
