• Cannot create a new folder in the Explorer of Windows 7

  Somehow, I lost the ability to create new folders in the Explorer of Windows 7.  Explorer opens and the button "New folder" is always at the top, but when you click it nothing happens.  Also, when I right click in a directory I don't have the ability to create a new folder.  What happened and how this can be fixed?

  You have installed chrome? It's looking like a recent update of chromium may be the cause. Here are two patches.

• Windows Explorer; Size of folder and the number of files does not appear on the Details view.

  When navigating through Windows Explorer, it is apparently not available to display the file size or the number of files without looking at the properties of the specific folder.

  Is it possible to have a sub-category that can display * file size * and * file Count * in a tree of files so that its more fast walk a tree longer?

  Thank you

  You can point to the folder to see the size, but not the details can show it as questioning the disc for all of these values causes the massive shift (especially in a corporate network, the traffic generated by the query can bring down a network).

  The method of scoring looks like this:

  

• Export the list of files in a folder in the Explorer

  How to export a list of files that that are in an excel file or a text document? Preferably excel.

  Thank you

  Tom

  You must have the directory you want the list on your hard drive (not a network share even if a mapped drive may work?

  Files should be displayed in the format of details in the directory.

  (1) type cmd in the start menu to bring up a prompt back
  (2) use the (for example) "cd C:\Users\BobJones\Desktop\New folder" command to navigate to the folder in question
  (3) use the command "DIR > doggy.csv ' to create a file named doggy.csv in the same directory that you open directly with excel. Nothing looks much lik that it happens, but you unlike find the small file as expected.

  Good luck!

• Windows Vista - why I don't see C:\Users\(my name) folder in the Explorer?

  I can search for files in C:\Users\MyName file and access them through search but only in c:\users in Solution Explorer folders are public and administrator and by default?

  You may have to "Show hidden files and folders" which is located in Control Panel > folder option > view

  This is what it looks like on Win 8 (yours should be similar)

• Windows Explorer has stopped working error - I can't right click a folder on the desktop.

  This is my brother's computer, and they do not arrive in his account, only mine.  I have administrator rights, but it seems not to matter. This problem occurs only occasionally.  For example, I can right click on this text, copy it, then paste it.  However, if I go to the desktop and try right click on a folder to rename it, I get the error.  The error indicates that Windows Explorer has stopped working, when it says that it restarts, then the Office updates really quick. None of what I found in the forums have worked again this is why I started a new thread.  I think it might be a problem with the registry, then someone can please help me quickly find a solution?

  Note: I can not run as administrator command prompt because I can't right click, so I can't run sfc/scannow.

  We are volunteers here for the most part.

  It's a shame that we don't know anything about the distressed system but it was MS Answers owners have chosen to implement this community - do not ask basic system information when a new question is asked that make problems a lot time and frustrating.

  But now they way they choose to turn things around here.

  Maybe this will help you with your system of unspecified of brand and model with the release of unspecified Windows and Service Pack and unspecified install antivirus/antimalware:

  When the Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) is wrong (especially when right click), begin to suspect third-party add-ons explore extension.  You can also see some errors of NAT (DEP, Data Execution Prevention).  DEP errors are reported when XP will be threatened by a program and Windows stops threatening program.  Windows should never feel threatened by the Explorer Windows (or Internet Explorer) to less that some add-on is the cause.

  Those who would be the Explorer extensions that do not belong to Microsoft.  This means that extensions that you have added.  Solution Explorer extensions are generally well and installation of certain applications will install extensions from Explorer solutions for you, give you a choice and sometimes they can be added without your knowledge when you install the new software.

  Solution Explorer extensions are sometimes added as a new right-click option, you see on folders and files (like the scan of this file, open that file, play this song).

  If there is something in particular that you do during exploration that you know will be the cause of the problem, which will help focus on the problem and the help that you suddenly know, when you have found and corrected.

  If you can get there when you want it, make an adjustment and then there is no message the next time you don't do anything, you do, you have found and corrected.

  First of all you need a way to see what modules explore you have installed now and a way to turn them off (not uninstall them) so you can understand that we are at the origin of the problem.  You can have a lot of extensions not installed Microsoft don't even know you about.

  Download ShellExView here to see what Explorer extensions you have loaded:
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/shexview.html

  ShellExView does not install anything on your computer, simply of runs and displays.

  After you launch ShellExView (shexview.exe double click) and acknowledge the security warning, adjust the column widths, so you can see everything clearly.  Under Options, choose "Mark non-Microsoft Extensions" and extensions not Microsoft will be pink, clear, but on some systems, which is a difficult color to see, so click on display.
  Choose the columns and move up or move down in the column of Microsoft is narrower upwards (Mount) so you can see on your screen without having to scroll left and right.

  Click on the header of column called Microsoft (it can be the way out of the right side of the screen) to sort the display (by clicking on the column heading in Microsoft) so all non Microsoft extensions are at the top and easy to see.  They will say 'No' and be marked in pink because they are not extensions Microsoft, something like this:

  

  Non-Microsoft extensions would be things you have added (non-Microsoft) and are what you should be suspect.

  If you see extensions which do not have anything that is listed under Description, Version, product name, company or have special names that looks like they might be letters and numbers just randomly, you might want to look at these first.

  You can also Google the name of a suspect add-on and see if there is any success on the Explorer accidents or mistakes DEP and what other people have done about it.

  You can Google something like:

  Windows Explorer crash

  You must complete your suspect on behalf of adds on.

  See what kind of search results hits you get and are looking for solutions or situations that sound like yours.

  I'm not a defender of trial and error, but I can't think of another way to do...

  Right click and disable the non Microsoft extensions one at a time (or maybe in small groups of 3-5), keep a list, so you can enable them again later if you wish. The result of the change is immediate and no reboot is necessary.  Test your failure condition (right click).  If the Explorer starts to act normally, you'll know that some extension you just disabled in this group of 3-5 is the culprit, then you can start to enable them one by one until the Explorer fails again.

  If you recognize all the extensions that have been added or recently downloaded, start with these first.

  Disabling the extension does not uninstall the extension - it is just disabled.  You can always enable it later, so keep track of things by writing them down.

  Disable them one at a time or in small groups (to make things go faster) until your right click does not generate an error, then restart and test again to be sure.   You have disabled the last extension would be suspicious.

  You can also disable all non-Microsoft extensions, restart, test your fault condition and allow them one at a time until you find the one that generates the failure condition.

  If you have a large number of extensions, you can disable them is small groups, 3-5 at a time instead of 1 at a time until your system starts to behave.

  When it does not, you will know that the problem is one of the extensions of this small group and you can enable members of the Group at a time until the problem returns, then the problem is with the last extension that you enabled.

  The hope is that you will find extensions that is causing the problem and then you can figure out what on this subject - either uninstall it or see if you can get an update of the author of the extension of their web page.

  I have not your problem, but I can when you toggle extensions, the extension is immediately disabled, so disable an extension does not seem to require a restart, but if you think that you have found the problem, I reboot and repeat the test in any case to be sure the problem disappeared.

  If you post your non-Microsoft extensions list, maybe someone will recognize it as a potential problem.

  If you find the offending extension that's the problem, please let us know what it is that I can add to my list!

• Loss of disk space available every day as System Volume Information folder is the largest on my hard drive

  My PC is under Windows7 Home Premium... version 6.1... Build 7601... service pack 1.

  I have a 1 TB hard drive... 3 weeks ago, I've had approximately 813 gb free space... now, I have only 603 gb of free space. I noticed that the folder System Volume Information is passed to 209,53 Go. Don't know why this issue became so great. I lost about 5 to 20 GB of free space on the hard disk every day.

  The System Volume Information folder is the largest on my hard drive... Users folder is 43.38 GB... Windows folder is 31.89 GB... WinSxS folder is 15,18 GB.

  I installed a couple of applications in the last 6 months... Driver booster... Download App... and size of file.

  I didn't save my PC in the last 3 weeks because of this problem.

  The only application that I use for backup is MotoCast USB... it creates a backup of the SD card in my smartphone to my PC.  I've been backup card SD in my phone every 3-4 weeks for the past 2 years but never lost so much hard drive space until the last 3 weeks.

  Any suggestions?

• How you can display the details-the folder name, the date, labels, size, type when displaying folders as large icons?

  Windows 7
  How you can view the records/document details-name, date, tags, size, good guy that watching a records/documents too large, medium or small icons?
  I have to be able to sort the records/documents while in the large, medium or small icon view I have in Vista. I can't settle unless I'm in the Details view. I work with graphics mostly, so I need to see while I sort.

  Even if the headers are not visible, you can sort/filter/group by those details by right-clicking on an empty spot in the folder and choose the fate/group that made a right click menu.

  Your preference of sort/group will remember your next visit this folder.  For more information on how to apply your preferences of sorting/grouping of all records at once, try my tip at http://skeene.net/tech/apply-folder-styles-to-all-subfolders/

• How to disable the "Fonts" folder in Windows Explorer?

  Hi all

  I have a problem to deactivate the fonts folder in Windows Explorer.
  My question:
  How to turn off or do not display "Fonts" in Windows Explorer my computer tab?

  I think it is unnecessary because it already exists in the Control Panel folder.

  If anyone can solve this, thanks in advance.

  Windows customizes the Fonts folder and offers a special folder view that allows you to hide variations, such as bold and italics. It also allows you to change the display settings of the file in a way that is specific to fonts. If you remove the read-only attributes and the Fonts folder system, these custom display settings not available. For folders that you have customized by using the tab, Customize dialog box Properties of the folder, the folder icon and other other customizations may be missing when you remove the read-only attribute.

• Kill the "My Documents" folder in Windows Explorer for XP

  Whenever I have called Windows Explorer in my copy of XP and then click on 'Files', the 'My Documents' folder is displayed.
  Except that I do not use it and don't want it.
  I tried in vain to get rid of him, but when I right click on it and press DELETE, it tells me that the content will not be deleted, only the icon, which would be nice.  But it's that - the icon remains.

  You can't delete My Documents. This is a directory on the system. If you want Explorer to open up My Documents, you can change the shortcut to Explorer as follows:

  Go to programs > Accessories - right click on the Windows Explorer icon, select properties and type or copy / paste the following text in the target box:

  % systemroot%\EXPLORER. EXE/e, c:

  This will open the Explorer to C:\. You can also create a desktop for Windows Explorer with the same command icon. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  How can I change the folder that opens at the start of the Explorer?

  Click on the round of Windows (start) > all programs > Accessories and make Windows Explorer right click > properties > Shortcut tab and change the target in a box to where you want Explorer to open, for example to open the Documents folder, type (or change) the following %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe C:\Users\your user name\Documents\ then apply, OK, etc..
