Why the "open command window here" option menu shortcut in Windows Explorer create network duplicate mappings?

In the intranet of my employer, we have many servers. When I go to manually run the programs on these, I use the hidden feature of the context menu of Windows Explorer to open a command window on the directory with the executable files (by now the SHIFT while right-clicking).

Whenever I do this, a new network map is added to the location network to the location of 'My Computer' in Windows Explorer, even if there is already one for the server (note that this is a region which is populated by clicking on "Map network drive"). At the end of the day, I'll have a dozen of them pointing to the same server (because I'm OCD close windows after I'm done with them).

And when I disconnect from these mapped network locations, they warn me that there is always using the connection, even after closing the process command prompt window.

Why Windows does that, and it's a bug or a feature?

I am running Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard x 64, SP1.

This issue is beyond the scope of this site (for consumers) and to be sure, you get the best (and fastest) reply, we have to ask either on Technet (for IT Pro) or MSDN (for developers)

  • Why the mode list Windows Explorer ignores the document property "Keywords"?

    If I open a word.doc file properties Summary tab and type the data in the fields title, author, subject, category, comments and keywords and then activate these columns in Windows Explorer details view, I can see the words I typed in these columns, with the exception of the key words, which remains empty.  Why Explorer doesn't not know my keywords?

    In addition, the comments column shows that the first 77 characters of the comment regardless of how long my comment is... Why is this? Is there some hidden settings that can be used to fail this behavior or change to a higher value?

    I just answered a recent question and found this old (which is slightly different from the one I responded to regarding Sharepoint properties etc..).

    I don't know why Microsoft has not done more properties available through the Windows Explorer list view, because for example, the property of "Key words" in Word has been around for a while before XP came. And before Windows 2 k come AFAICR. But judging by the mass of the columns dealing with properties 'media', they tried to meet the relatively new uses of Windows (much more than digital photography and other digital media), or the necessary code has been written by individuals affected by these media. And maybe the "key words" had been used differently by different Microsoft products and it was difficult to reconcile the different requirements. It is perhaps significant that property taken /is/ supported in Vista's Windows Explorer version, but called "Tags" there.
    However,.
    a. it is / was a mechanism to add columns to the list available from the point of view of list. I've never done so, it may be sure it will work because I imagine it should be, but you need to write a Shell Extension (.dll) that implements the IColumnProvider COM interface and save it in the appropriate location in the Windows registry.
    b. that the mechanism has been replaced by a new system of "Property manager" in Vista It is completely in step with the kind of properties 'Content Type' used in Sharepoint, I can't tell you, but there is a set of pages on this subject at
    http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc144135 (v = vs. 85) .aspx
    Incidentally, the other widely available 'container' technology that could also retrieve and display properties, and has often been rather better than what Windows, Outlook. If you dragged the Word documents in an Outlook folder, you can create an Outlook display that displays the properties of the document (including key words, at least in Outlook 2003). The problem is that (AFAICR) you couldn't store links and Outlook was not really designed to store the files this way (for example, he had a relatively small capacity). The same thing was also possible at the same time in Exchange Server public folders, but there was also the ability practice and other difficulties, especially if you tried to synchronize these flders between servers. If these facilities are still available, and what was / is available in Groove/Sharepoint Workspace, I do not know :-)
  • CANNOT DELETE the LARGE FILE - Windows Explorer hangs

    Windows 8

    I made a very large pdf by mistake (14 GB) and now I can't do anything with it. Can not open, delete, move...

    I tried to delete the entire folder where it is located, but also that Windows Explorer crashes.
    I checked the disk for errors, and everything is OK.
    I tried to permanently delete without moving to the trash, as I understand it the trash can sometimes accept very large files. I can highlight the file, but as soon as I click the button remove Ribbon, or right-click, or try to do something with it, Windows Explorer crashes again.
    I have rather a small disc on this machine SSD, and I need this space to the rear...
    Can't think of anything else to try...
    Best regards, K

    Try to remove the file from a command prompt. You can shift right click a folder to see an option "open command window here", which will automatically open the command prompt in the appropriate folder. There is also an "open command prompt here" option on the file menu. If necessary, you can simply open a command prompt and use the cd command to go to the appropriate folder. (.. leave a folder, / to go to the root). Note that the led, remove and erase commands don't send files to trash either.

    Another thing you can try is crushing the PDF file. Type something in a program that is able to save to PDF and try to save it on this PDF. Please tell me if you receive errors overwhelming, because they can help to find out what is the problem. If you have any program capable of PDF, simply typing things into Notepad and overwrite the PDF file with it. (in the Save in drop-down menu, you can select "all files")

    The entry in NTFS, indicating the presence of this 14 GB file is maybe damaged. The disc may have recorded the location of the bad file, or the 14 GB file may not even be there. You can plan to run the chkdsk utility. It flows better in an administrator command prompt. If you are prompted to do so, you should probably run chkdsk /f. I don't know what the side effects might arise from running chkdsk on an SSD, so proceed at your own risk. (I tried to do a search, and all that I could find is that nothing else than / f should not be run on an SSD)

  • The action cannot be completed because the file is open in Windows Explorer.

    OK, it seems to be coming a lot but no one was able to respond (including Microsoft) so I'll ask, and be as specific as possible.

    Because I work with vector art that I constantly have to save files by crush the and everything was cool with WinXP pro.  I have Win7 Pro and everything was cool, until recently.  Whenever I tried to overwrite my files, I would get an error message saying that the file was either dead or opened elsewhere, but it has happened about 50% of the time.  A launch the re-registration of files with different names.  After obtaining the files re-registered I then try to remove and rename files, but found I couldn't do it anymore, as I was constantly getting the error message "The action cannot be completed because the file is open in Windows Explorer."  Closing and reopening the browser do nothing.  Someone said if not empty the trash bin works, but not for me.  The files are on an external drive, I tried to disable the cache of writing by Device Manager and Windows Management Console (or other) frozen and took the pc with it (nice work, MS!).  Reboot seems to fix the problem for a bit, but he returned quickly and randomly.  It also seems to randomly select to lock files.  Some files I can not change, some that I can.  Others begin to operate after some time of inactivity.

    I tried to disable thumbnails in Explorer and even added a DWORD NoThumbnailCache in the registry, but it still happens.  Basically, I'll have to save all of the new files over and over again and that from time to time be able to remove the "old" while being only randomly too write others.  This question seems to be infestation Vista and Win7 and people have waited for a fix, Microsoft, but was mum on the issue.  If anyone can come up with a solution, it would be great.  It is killing my productivity!

    Common guys...
    Im having this problem too and I've been thought IE9 is at the origin of the problem, some how, I don't want to disturb...

    Here are some solutions:
    Please note that I'm looking, there is not any solution patch for this program by Microsoft, you can maintain it yourself. And correct solutions in this way losses.

    Solution 1: Use CMD.
    0 - note the following 3 steps will complete the process explorer.exe, so your desktop and windows Explorer all open files and any associated process would stop.
    1. run the Task Manager. (by pressing ctrl + shift + esc or etc)
    2 - go to the processes tab.
    3 - find "explorer.exe" and click on the button "complete the process". If you find several explorer.exe, kill them all.
    4. now, click the menu file-> new task (run...)
    5 type CMD, and then click OK.
    6. now you can do something you couldn't have done before with this user interface. Some useful commands:
    -cd: change the current directory. Use 'CD..' to the 'button' in windows Explorer.
    -dir: lists the existing file and folders in the directory current. Use ' dir/p' to the list in the pages.
    -del [file name]: removes the file [filename] existing in the current directory.
    -Rename [name of file] [new file name]: rename the file [old file name] existing or a file existing in the current directory to [new file name].

    Solution 2: Use a different file manager.
    0 - install and run another Manager file as "XYPlore".
    1 Note that the following 3 steps will end your explorer.exe process, so your desktop and windows Explorer all open records and all other related processes would cease.
    2. run the Task Manager. (by pressing ctrl + shift + esc or etc)
    3 - go to the processes tab.
    4 - find "explorer.exe" and click on the button "complete the process". If you find several explorer.exe, kill them all.
    5. use XYPlore UI and do what you want.
    Please note that the problem could happen with this kind of external explorers too. So close any file and go into a secure after your working directory.

    Solution 3: Do it yourself!
    If you can program, there are some codes that might help you. These codes which talks about Im, says MS Windows to remove your annoying pinned files just before you shut down the system.
    Here is an example:
    MoveFileEx ('C:\windows\system32\ld21E.tmp', nil, MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING or MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT);
    This code will work correctly in Delphi from Borland compilers, and as you can see, the "ld21e.tmp" file is deleted after compiling this code and restart your windows.

    I wish I can do better, as to publish an Explorer that do what you want automatically, so I hope that these can be useful.
    Some how you can check this thread too, it may be useful:

    I solved this by going to my computer > click the "Organize" (upper-left) > folder and search options > view tab check "Show icons, never thumbnails" option and uncheck the "display file on the photos." This prevents windows to generate images and solved the problem for me. Less visually flashy Yes, but at least not need a cloth and restart is).
