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?

I found an article that seems to meet your situation:

  • 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 'Shift-3' a sign of the pound sterling, I get # "hash". I did something stupid with my keyboard and if so, how to cancel it?

    Go to Preferences system - keyboard - input Sources. Here, you can use + sign to enable British keyboard that has £ sign on shift + 3. You can also check box "show the menu in the menu bar" so you can easily switch between different keyboards.

    I saved my adobe files temporarily muse in my computer when I restart my PC I see not the mt files, please tell me how to recover my files and how to record my entire Web site file using save option.

    When you talk about 'temporarily' as record files in the temporary folder and then by restarting the machine will lose files. You can save the file in any location stored as reader or office and then reopen the case should show all of the content without any loss.

    If the files are deleted or lost there's no way to recover those, sorry if this is the case.

  • I get a widow in my lower toolbar that rpet low disk space, and when I click it to try to delete the old files, it does nothing... so what do I do... ?

    I get a window in my toolbar lower repeating me low disk space and when I click it to try to remove the old files, it does nothing... so what should I do to get rid of the files in a "D" file...?

    Please perform these steps and the back of the report.

    Click Start, click computer, and it will display your hard drives and their letters. Normally C: is your operating system and where everything is stored (user: files, programs, Documents, photos, etc.). The D: is your RECOVERY partition and contains a copy of the first installation of the plant. The D: is small, about 9 to 15 GB, depending on the version of Windows.

    For example, my C: displays 306 GB free (unused) 374 GB (hard disk capacity). D: shows 2.11 free 11.5 GB GB. This is normal for HP, Compaq and others. New HP (Win 7) include an E: with less than 1 GB of capacity, to store a program utility tools. These so-called hard disks are in fact partitions installed on a physical hard disk, but not to concern. The c: partition free space is your important answer. BeAware that the D: and E: (if you have the configuration described above, are never to be used as restore points, or your personal files, they are allocated by the manufacturer to support the reinstallation of the operating system.) My example shows that my C: partition made only 68GB used on the disc, 306 GB is free (unused) 374 GB capacity.

    (1) report with numbers, and you can be helped.

    (2) Vista writes copies ghosts of all your documents (previous versions of the files). These can take many GB.

    (3) when he gets less than 20 percent free, you start to have problems with the disk defragmentation. Less than 10% results in critical problems, the problems of performance and for the worse.

    (4) if the number of free GB is really a low disk space issue, you need to move some of the large data files (pictures, videos,...) out on CD or DVD.

    If it helps, let me know. I'm not a moderator, just a user trying to use simple language to help others.

    This problem may be caused by an extension (possibly AVG Safe Search) which does not work properly.

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions of the origin of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

    If this does not work in mode without failure, then disable all extensions and then try to find out who is the cause by allowing both the problem reappears.

    • Choose "Disable all add-ons" on issues to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode to set window to disable all extensions.

    In Firefox 4, you can use one of them to start in the questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode:

    • Help > restart with disabled modules

  • When you type my letters go all over the screen, everything happens with Firefox.

    After installing Firefox, when I type, the letters are going all over the screen, to the place where I try to type. I used to type without looking at the screen. Now, I have to watch... my cursor disappears, and the letters I type get into something that I previously typed correctly.

    Is when I installed Firefox, and it happens constantly.
