The said File Explorer is open when it is not

Windows Explorer shows a file is opened in a folder, so it won't let me change the name of the folder, but there is no open file.

I stop Word, Excel, etc and nothing is using the file.

It's really annoying because it does not say which file he thinks is open.

Sometimes if I completely close Word (or whatever is used the modified file) then it wont let me change it in Explorer, but sometimes it does not.

If Windows can be understood, it will show what program is locking the file, but it is not always possible to understand this.

^ If she can decide for you, Windows will tell you the program causing the problem (Excel in this case).

But if he just says 'Open in Explorer', it is usually because there is a window open folder somewhere with the file highlighted.  Probably also with the display of the preview pane.

  • When I type a site FTP address in the XP File Explorer it opens an IE8 browser

    I use to be able to just type the address of the FTP site in the address bar of my browser files from 'My Computer' and he pop up would be a login name and password and then box when I filled those he would show the FTP site that is identical to a file on my computer system.  I could drag and drop files to and from the FTP site in exactly the same way I can from network drives and local drives.  Now, when I type the address and press enter it just opens a new window to IE8 and try to go to the site FTP in this way.  I have no knowinly modified settings and actually compared the options of the internet to another computer it still works on and the setting is the same.  It must be an option deeply in records somewhere.  Does anyone know how to change this back?

    Recently, I started my computer and noticed that a bunch of files are corrupt, and left most of my shortcuts.  I went into Program Files and discovered the entire file completely empty.  The computer says to run chkdsk b/c the program files are corrupted.  When I run chkdsk/r, it indicates that the NTFS is locked and I have to restart to run chkdsk.  When I reboot, the chkdsk never runs.

    My wife has all of its graduates work on the computer, I backed up since then, but I try to avoid doing a restore of the entire system.  Can you help me?

    I am running Microsoft XP.

    Sorry to hear that you are having problems with your XP system.  For XP support please visit the link below
    http://www.Microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/list/en-us/default.aspx?DG=Microsoft.public.WindowsXP.General

    Also, try to start the computer in Mode safe.
    When the computer is switched on 1, start pressing F8 until you get a menu of Windows startup, choose Safe Mode.

    Sounds like something important happened (corruption).  If you have important data there (for example, your wives, diploma work), I would strongly suggest taking the computer to a qualified technician so that they can recover data out of there before the drive goes down or the o/s is too damaged.

    Good luck

  • Why the tree in Explorer drop down when you open a folder in Windows 7?

    I don't know what kind of joke someone plays, but it is not . I have already most likely to get surgery on both of my hands soon for carpal syndrome severe. For each round of a mouse wheel and all the clicks that I have to endure it's useless, my pain and my symptoms are growing more intense. I have 7 hard drives in my computer. I have search and locate and organize and delete and add files of ALL TIME. I'm in the Explorer of ALL TIME. It is deplorable that I had XP Pro because of threats of compliant. XP has at least had an Explorer who worked perfectly. Now of having to learn a new platform (Windows 7) and I am forced to support a program who has a child of 12 years could have better designed! How long still is * going to go? I discovered only recently that Explorer in Windows 7 has a tree that falls to the bottom of the page fricking every time that a file is opened, so I am forced to dive to the bottom of the page to locate the folder. So I started the research on the forums to see if I was losing my mind and just something wrong. I read messages from people complaining about this BS in 2007. Why is that, after 4 years this perverted arrogant control problem still exists?

    This is the Bug of scrolling in the left pane.

    See the bottom of this post for help with the left pane scroll bug using Classic shell.

    Say you want Microsoft fixed it by voting on the Microsoft Connect Web site:

    http://connect.Microsoft.com/WindowsServerFeedback/feedback/details/621426/bug-when-expanding-folders-in-Explorer-Server-2008-R2-and-Windows-7

    Look at the left pane scrolling bug:

    4. Explorer moves the folder selected to the bottom of the folder list. How can I stop this?

    5. behavior of strange folder in the left pane of Windows Explorer

    FIX THE BUG IN 10 MINUTES:

    The classic interface mainly eliminates the bug in Windows Explorer, but it will still exist in the open/save dialog boxes.

    Pane left scrolling bug (and other corrections):

    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 works 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 don't 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) right click on the menu bar and turn on 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 in the configuration and from there, you can change 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...

    You can also let Microsoft know you want this bug fixed here: http://mymfe.Microsoft.com/Windows%207/feedback.aspx?formid=195

  • Answer: File Explorer is invisible when opened

    I've had my computer for about 3 weeks, and up to about 3-4 days there, when I try to open the files or when I click on my file Explorer icon on my taskbar, it is invisible. When I open the Task Manager, it does not show that it is running, but if I move my mouse in Explorer on my taskbar, I see the window that I opened, but it is not on my screen. This happened to my Skype Office a day later. I tried to look online and most of the things I found does not work or was not my problem.

    E: I see the window that I opened, but it is not on my screen.

    A: do a right-click on the thumbnail and select move

    E: all he done was make my mouse a cross with arrows

    A: this is where you had to start to use your cursor as if you knew where your window hiding.

    Did you have to move your mouse to see your pointer arrow 4?

    Apparently to actually make a move if you use a mouse button to drag.

    E: the only thing is that I came to that was the fact that my windows Explorer is located on the far right of my screen.

    Is that mean that you have noticed that your pointer seems to come out on the side right of the screen but banged against the side of the left?   Then to try the procedure instead of doing drag the pointer appears you would press the left button of the mouse and then try to move your mouse to the left (if you come from the right side, left movement).   This procedure was a new discovery.  To try the (classic) procedure of slider (the one I mentioned first), you must use the CursorLeft key (repeated, key chosen to represent the fact that the window is supposed to appear on the right.)

    Think.   What is this pointer?

    Alternatively, if you've been paying attention, you can try the method of Win-shift-cursor too.   Still, it would be easier.   But the most reliable would be the cursor method because it does not assume that there is a ghost monitor and is not affected by the question of if you moved your mouse (if you have nothing to click on and drag)...

    Wow.  Another discovery.  I moved the pointer without trying to drag (for example to simulate what I suppose that you did) and I saw the arrow pointer 4 just to move its own.   Then I pressed CursorRight, (given that my missing window was on the left) and apparently it hired drag on the window to the mouse!  Who would have thought?   Then I could just drag it using the mouse without having to resort to a press cursor repeat procedure.   Still not as easy as Win-shift-cursor if.

    FYI
