• I can longer open attached pdf files. I am able to preview the files, but they are too small for me to read.

  * Original title: attachments

  Help, please.

  I did something wrong (AGAIN!)

  I had no problem with access to attachments to my e-mails, but a problem occurred just.

  I can longer open attached pdf files.  I am able to preview the files, but they are too small for me to read.  When I click to open all the I get now is a kind of icon (in Microsoft Office Picture Manager) with which I can't do anything.

  It seems I should have arranged for Picture Manager automatically opens attachments to emails, but when this happens, I'm stuck as what I try, I can't do pdf files appear as they did.

  The help file does not really help.

  I hope it is something simple, even an old fool like me can do with your expert (and, I hope. friendly) help.

  My fingers are crossed.

  My apologies if I offended Protocol - this is my first venture.regards

  Create a file association.

  1. download and save the attachment to the office.
  2. right click on the saved file.
  3. Select: Open with on the shortcut menu.
  4. click on: choose [default] program.
  5. Select: (Whatever you have installed a PDF reader).
  6. check: always use the selected program to open this type of file.
  7. click on OK.

  This should allow you to open these attachments directly from email address now.

• FavIcons not showing correctly in the file Explorer, but display correctly in Internet Explorer.

  Please note: this is the opposite of what people usually describe their problem in.

  I have Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

  My favicon display correctly in the Explorer of files (file mode) but display correctly in Internet Explorer. This intrigues me. When I open the Internet Explorer, icons for Favorites OK show to the left of the name of the shortcut file in the Favorites bar and the Favorites bar. However, when I open Windows File Explorer and check out my favorites and folders, the FavIcons are the generic icons globe, not specific icons to websites that shortcuts point to. The links work well. It's just that the FavIcons are generic globes. (Not all, but many). I want the correct FavIcons to show in the view of Windows File Explorer.

  I tried to revisit web sites and dragging the URL (and favicon) of the bar of address of IE in the "Favorites" folder again. Who has not solved the problem. I tried to go to the page of the site and to type the favicon.ico extension and save it, but windows won't let me save it. (Where can they be saved? And how would be attributed to the shortcut in the file Explorer file? Or is it not the way to solve the problem?)

  Is there a way to fix this without having to download an app/program? Is there a way to solve this problem without changing the registry? Or is the simple registry change?

  I want the correct Favicons to display in the file Explorer, and Internet Explorer.

  Please answer in plain English, not in words irritable. If you propose a procedure, please explain where everything is (how to find things click on what you recommend.)

  Thanks in advance for the help.

  IT IS THE ANSWER. A MODERATOR WOULD MARK IT AS THE ANSWER, OR REPLY TO IT, SO I CAN MARK THE ANSWER. IT SEEMS ABSURD THAT WE ARE UNABLE TO POST AN ANSWER TO OUR QUESTION AND POWER OF THE BRAND AS THE ANSWER. Thank you.

  I searched and found the answer. Also, I realized I had encountered this problem about two years ago and had saved the info of the solution in a Notepad file. On the site, the answer given by Chris H is the solution. It is to delete the icon cache of .db database and allowing windows to create a new. My problem was that the favicons for several favorite shortcuts of IE showed the purple globe (ugly) credits. After that I deleted the icon cache database file, a new file has been created and my favicons are correct for each shortcut.

  (Both methods are given in the he.) I list the instructions for the first method, which worked for me. You can click on this page for more information).

  There are a few things you can try:

  First: (icon Cache regeneration)

  1. open Folder Options to select (round) display the hidden files and folders.
  2. open a Windows Explorer window.
  3. go to C:\Users\(User Name) \AppData\Local
  4. right click on IconCache.db and click on delete.
  5. click on Yes to confirm the deletion.
  NOTE: This deletes the file to the trash. It is safe to empty the trash when you are done.
  6. close the window.
  7 empty the trash.
  8 restart the computer.
  9. When you return, you'll notice the size of the file IconCache.db is reduced, and the update is now the current date.
  NOTE: If for some reason any IconCache.db isn't there or the size has not changed much, then just restart the computer again. You may need to restart a few times in some cases.
  10. the icon cache has been rebuilt.
  11. Open Folder Options to select (round) do not show the hidden files and folders.

• Envy 17-j020us, cannot cut/copy and paste in the file Explorer

  I can cut/copy and paste the url and the text to speech, etc, but I am unable to cut/copy and paste files in Windows File Explorer. I tried malwarebytes and virus programs running. HP support has tried to access remotely to identify the problem without success. Y at - it another option in addition to a factory reset or restore point? Thanks in advance for any help.

  Hi jdavis33811,

  Have you tried the three methods of cutting and pasting? Using the keyboard shortcuts CTRL-X CTRL-V, right click on the file and selecting cut, then using the tape from the file Explorer / File menu.

  If you have tried all three, the next thing to try is a boot minimum to see if something is in the background to block the order. A clean boot loads Windows with the drivers and the minimal software. This link of Support technique Microsoft will show you how do it.

  Once you have made the clean boot try three methods of cutting and pasting. If it works the next step is to go back to msconfig (see Microsoft link above) and enable half the services you shut-off valve to the clean boot. Then try to cut and paste again. Keep half of the remaining services that allows until you cannot cut and paste, then disable half of the services that you just active. This, until what specify you what service has problem.

  If after all that you still have a problem then the next step would be to backup your files on an external hard drive or a USB flash drive and then doing a complete System Recovery.

• Two devices in the file Explorer

  Hello!

  Today, I recognized that my Fuze is represented by two devices (with two different drive letters) in the file Explorer. The first device is named "SANSA FUZE" and can be opened, the other has no name and only an error message appears when I try to open it.

  I tried with two windows machines, on both the two devices will appear.

  OK, everyhing works fine, but I'm confused because of two devices. Is it OK or is it a mistake with my rocket?

  Thank you

  Stefan

  Both devices are Sansa internal memory, then the expansion of the SD port.

  With no card inserted, Windows will ask "Please insert support" or indicate that the volume "cannot be opened.

After you access a FTP site root and following the instructions, press Alt, then on site click Open FTP in the file Explorer, nothing happens.  We have checked the folder view FTP activate [apart from IE] and use passive FTP mode.  Before the upgrade, we used Windows XP and have been able to open FTP sites in Windows Explorer without any problem. We look forward to your recommendations.

  It worked. Thank you!

  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.

• Problem with the file Explorer

  Why the title 'Hard drive' and "Devices with removable storage" does not appear in my file Explorer? What is the solution for this?

  The screenshot is given below.

  

  Try this. Right-click in the 'white space' in the file explore (under where the readers are displayed), then place the cursor on the 'Group by' then click on 'type' perhaps you are currently set to "none"?
