Why the possibility to manually sort the files in folders has been deleted?

Why have removed the ability to manually sort the files and folders? Having the ability to rearrange the files and folders is common sense and the need in some of my work. This removed feature cost me an hour or two of extra work that week you can reorganize all links/shortcuts in any order they wish, but to actually move files and folders around is more can be made. I would never have bought Windows 7 if I knew took it this feature away from me.

Hi bcwups

Whenever you ask the question 'why', the only possible answers you will get on a support forum are just speculation or conjecture.

The only people who can answer the question are people who take design decisions, and they don't usually respond to questions here.

If you wish to submit your comments and thoughts on the design of Windows 7, you can use the following online feedback form.

Windows 7 comments - talk us at Microsoft

There are places you can go to get some insights into the 'why' of individual decisions are made. Many Microsoft Windows developers have their own blogs where they publish articles that are sometimes very transparent and revealing. Here is a link to the parent for these items.

Home - MSDN Articles

Another good resource is the blog that Windows developers used during the beta of Windows 7. If you look at the archived articles, (more than 60) they described the 'why' of a large number of features that have been changed/added/removed from Windows 7.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for using Windows 7

  • Get the message: this program has been deleted while trying to open Windows Media Center

    Original title: I used to have Windows Media Center... But no more?

    I'm trying to connect with my XBOX 360, and it said to open Windows Media Center.  I clicked on start, then went to where Windows Media Center has been. I clicked on that and it says "this program has been removed."  Huh!  Is there anyway that I can download the program, or something?  Or is it IN the Windows during the programming?  Info/comments will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

    You could try to control Windows Media Center via Control Panel / programs and features / Turn Windows Features on or off / multimedia / Windows Media Center, make sure that it is checked.

    System Restore will not uninstall or reinstall your entire operating system, take your machine over time until the selected restore point (you choose) and load Windows from this date and time.  Programs and updates that have been installed since that date and time are no longer available and need to be reinstalled.  System Restore will also leave you a "Undo" restore point which allows you to return to the present before the start of any restoration.  It also gives you an option to check what effect the return to a previous era will have on your program installed, etc..  It does not affect your personal data, applies only the settings, system files, programs, drivers, and updates.

    Could not mount the file. It has not been possible to find a filter for the requested command.

    Why is - this happens when I open documents using Mac advertising agency and I'm on PC?

    Hi Mikael,

    files have been archived in archive zip-file when transferred via the ftp protocol? I guess, not.

    If the files were already placed in a document, InDesign on the agency side the following workflow might be the solution:

    Office on Mac OSX:

    1 package the InDesign document, as well as placed images and fonts of the necessary document with InDesign packing device.

    2. the folder packed in a zip zip file.

    3. download the zip file to an ftp server

    You on Windows:

    1. download the zipfile to your own workload.

    2 unzip the zip on your workload. Do not delete the zip file.

    3. rename the folder of the package to fit your scheme of naming of jobs (option)

    4 rename the InDesign document to adapt to your schema naming of jobs (option)

    5. open the InDesign file in the packed file.

    Do not move or save somewhere else.

    Alternative:

    Work with Dropbox to share documents on a shared volume of Dropbox, if documents must move forward and backward between you and the Agency.

  • Why the file constructor does not take exception?

    Hello

    I was wondering why the file class constructor doesn't have an exception verified where the path to the file would be wrong or the file does not exist.

    For example, if we use a Scanner to read a file, the Scanner manufacturer made throws FileNotFoundException.
    Why do Java only checks here and not when the file object is created? What is behind all this?
    File inFile = new File("c:/myfile.txt"); 
    Scanner sc = new Scanner(inFile);  // can throw FileNotFoundException
    Thanks in advance for your comments.

    Because a file object can validly represent a path that does not actually exist on the file system.

    For example, if we use a Scanner to read a file, the Scanner manufacturer made throws FileNotFoundException.

    Because, while that file simply represents a path that may or may not exist, scan will attempt to read from the path you give, so that the file must exist for Scanner to do its job. It sometimes makes sense to represent a non-existent path, but it is never logical to try to read it.

  • iTunes has been deleted and songs at random out of my playlists, but not of the library - I 7000 songs to sort!

    I just bought the latest iPad and now I have restored from a backup, it has been deleted and the songs at random out of my playlists for example a playlist, used to have 534 songs (I know because they are always on my ipod) and now he has 137. Why he did I have no idea. The songs are on my Itunes yet, but not playlists which is why I think it must be some sort of bug. Help, please.

    p.s. Ideally I'd like just use my ipod as a backup (can I do that?) but I can't connect to the risk to delete playlists.

  • Process Explorer error BES when you try to browse the files and folders; and Internet Explore AppHangB1 when you try to attach files to download in Windows 7.

    Hi everyone, auggy,

    I really hope you can help me with a problem I have on a single workstation at my office.  It is an accumulation of 32-bit Windows 7 running MS Office 2010 Standard.  It differs from other generations in our office because it is used by the head of the team of our accounts, and so it has a number of custom pieces of software that she only needs access (payroll software, etc.).

    All the basic features of the computers seem to be well, except the two following, and I would really like to help get to the bottom of it.

    (1) process explorer error when you try to browse the files and folders of BES.

    I can call Windows Explorer absolutely perfect and be sailing away on his machine, and then suddenly the process explore will die, with the following error: -.

    I can start windows Explorer, and it will happen again--it's a repetitive event.

    (2) Internet Explorer AppHangB1 when you try to attach files to download

    I think that these two errors may actually be related, like IE (and Chrome as well by the way, this be why I think that the two issues are related) works fine, until I just any type of site where I need to download a file.  This happened in the light, as our Chief of accounts needs to download a flat file in a room online banking software.  What's going to happen (and, again, this can be repeated as needed) is: -.

    (a) you need to click on which will generally be a "Browse" button

    (b) a traditional dialog box opens, but instead which allows you to navigate to the location and select the folder you want, he immediately greys out as if the process explore is falling.

    (c) shortly after, the following error is returned: -.

    Hi auggy, Andy,.

    Well... in a way, I am very disappointed, but we will respond to it.

    Andy, I checked and iCloud, Control Panel has not been installed on its terminal, but thank you very much for suggesting it :)

    auggi, when I got back on my colleague's PC, I thought I would test to see if the feature didn't always before considering saving data dumps etc, and it worked fine!

    I left it overnight with instructions for the lady who uses the PC to test this morning and see if it's all workers, and it is still, it seems that the fix does not immediately solve the problem of browser, but there later - maybe after a second reboot or something... very strange!

    In all case, this matter can now be considered closed, so all that remains for me to say thank you very much for your help, you are amazing :)

    All the best, very, very,.

    David.

  • Is there a way we can use Acrobat Standard to assign a password for opening of the signed PDF file once it has been downloaded from DocuSign?

    Before execution of DocuSign, we have used to digitize a manually signed document to a PDF file, and then store the PDF file in a file of human resources share.  We would then use Adobe Writer Standard to assign a password to read/write to the PDF file.  Now, we use DocuSign to have electronically signed documents and download the PDF of the DocuSign in our files of human resources.  However Adobe Acrobat Writer we cannot assign a password.  It appears a dialog box saying "' you cannot change security on this document because the document is signed or certified".  We want to continue to be able to store the PDF file in our file sharing HR to restrict who can see off on the part of the passwords.  Is there a way we can assign a password for the PDF file once it has been downloaded from DocuSign?

    You can use the Adobe PDF printer to print PDF signed to unsigned PDF and then encrypt the result.

    Hi Tina,

    1. How do you know that the file is deleted?

    2. did you of recent changes on the system?

    I suggest that you perform SFC scan on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

    The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be prompted to

    a. to do this, click Start, click principally made programs, on Accessories, click command prompt

    b. type the following command and press ENTER:sfc/scannow

    The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.
