Where is Windows Explorer in Windows 7?

In older versions of windows, it was easy to move files or folders around by clicking on "Windows Explorer" that could fill a tree of hierarchical structure of files, allowing you to move your folder or file in another folder. You could do this directly from any folder that you happened to be in the moment. Is there something similar in Windows 7? Or what do I have to open a second file and then find the folder I want to move to, then return to the first folder and drag-and - drop? If the latter, it looks like a quality system that is less than what was under XP.

    When I click Start then computer and burner - where is windows Explorer, and where can I find her close a session on the toolbar?

    Hello geehosafat,

    Thank you for your response. The relay please if you are able to open Windows Media Player by clicking Start, and then by typing in the search box to start Windows Media Player. Then click on Windows Media Player based on the results of the search.

    In addition, when burning files to disc, if the disk has been formatted using the Format mastered, the option to close a session will not appear as disks formatted with the mastered Format do not need to be closed and automatically compatible with other computers. If the disk has been formatted with the live file system, you can close a session to be able to use the disc in another computer or player. By default, Windows does automatically when you eject the disc.

    Steps to burn files using Windows Explorer by using the live file system and mastered Format includes also, for reference, the link provided above burn a CD or DVD in Windows Explorer .

  • Where is Windows Explorer in Windows 8?

    Where is Windows Explorer? I can 't find anything I need on Windows 8. If I could return my new PC and get one without Windows 8 I would in a heartbeat. I HATE THIS PROGRAM! He tries to anticipate what I want and it just impossible. I need to do things MYSELF. Since the mid-2012 November I had to refresh Windows twice and rest once. Now I think I have to go immediately to the factory reset... all this because I can't FIND what I'm looking for and making stupid mistakes on the way. Stop hiding something from me. My 1995 and Windows XP (a slow program unstable at best) is far superior to this OS because at least I can find things so I can solve the problems or at least to improve performance. How to access my program properties without installing them through Windows 8? How to expand on the program, if there is more than one part of it (Corel for example has several pieces in the program)?

    In windows 8, it is called "File Explorer".  You can access file Explorer by searching from the metro screen (and then PIN to the start page) or from the desktop right click on the lower left corner.

  • Where is Windows.old?

    OK, after is an advanced restore - "Out-of-box-state" like 3 times. I noticed that the progress bar for the hard disk becomes smaller. Did some research and came with Windows.old. Thinking is, I can't find it anywhere. I tried 'disk cleanup', but I never had the drive or region choice click to remove, even permission admin I need help please. VB 2008 and VB 2010

    The Windows.old folder has two objectives:
    (1) can be used to uninstall Windows 7 and return your PC to the previous version of Windows.
    (2) contains all your photos, documents and personal data files. Other previous version.

    If you don't need either of these two options can delete the Windows.old folder.

    Note: Option to change Windows Explorer to see the Windows.old folder:
    Click on start and enter in the box "Search": "hidden" (without the quotes)
    Click on the "Show the hidden files and folders" option at the top of the list.
    In the "Folder Options" window
    Click the 'view' if it is not already selected.
    In the list "Advanced settings" locate "hidden files and folders".
    Now click 'show files and folders '.
    Then, disable the following:
    "Hide empty drives in the computer folder.
    "Hide the extensions of the file types that you want to know."

  • Where is Windows Media center in Windows 7 Professional?

    Simple as that.

    I have a Lenovo thinkpad E420 with no Windows Media center 64 bit laptop. No, not at all.
    Not in the program folder files or in the search bar or anywhere at all.
    Where can I download / get somewhere so I can use it?

    If you have Windows 7 N Edition (available in some parts of Europe) then it does not come with some features, including Windows Media Center. Please see:

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/What-is-Windows-7-N-edition .

    If you do not have a Windows 7 N edition you can download the pack of media features of:

    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=16546 .

    If you have a normal life (not a N) edition of Windows 7, you should see it here:

    Start-> all programs-> Windows Media Center.

    If it is not there then try to turn it on:

    1. click on Start (lower-left) and then on Control Panel.

    2. click on programs and features.

    3. on the left side of the screen, click on 'Windows turn features on or off".

    4. find the entry called multimedia & tick the box next to it.

    (also, expand it and make sure that Windows Media Center is checked)

    5. click on OK.

    6 reset.

    If the multimedia box is already checked, uncheck the box , click OK, restart, then do steps 1-6 above.

    If the above fails, try to find the executable file:

    1. open Windows Explorer. (not Internet Explorer)

    2. in the left pane, navigate to:

    C:\Windows\ehome

    Search for the file (if its there) ehshell.exe

    3. right click on ehshell.exe and create a shortcut/pine on the tasks/pine bar in the Start Menu.

  • Where can, Windows 64-bit users, learn about what to do or stop doing, because the builds for our system have been disabled?

    I came across information that Firefox has not extinguished the development for Windows 64 - bit. Since my system I would like to know what it means.
    Should uninstall us Firefox? Is there anyway we could still use it? I'm not a savvy computer, so I don't really no what to expect or where to find specific information on this subject.
    I really like Firefox and do not want to switch browsers, but I wouldn't have the unpleasant surprise that someday I can no longer open the browser and lose all of my information without warning. I save a lot of important information, can I transfer it to another browser Asap?

    Hello intr0uble, nothing will change for you - you can continue to use firefox as you did before! Firefox for windows has always been a 32-bit application (windows 7 64-bit supports 32-bit applications running). that a branch of an experimental developer 64-bit version will be discontinued for now...
