Windows 7 laptop - files are open in a new window despite "open in the same window" is selected under "Tools" folder options

This seems to have started randomly out of the blue and it's quite annoying. When you work with folders, I end up having a bunch of files that need to be closed and I usually don't want to close all; I usually have to sort numeorus files open to find what I'm looking for, as opposed to easily using the back button to return to a folder I want. I have not downloaded programs. The only thing I can think is deleting browser explore because I never use it (it is incredibly slow and slows down my computer laptop while each opening by mistake) and i ' LD fashioned just get rid of it.

How I deleted the browser explore:

-I went to control panel, then programs, then display the updates installed and then uninstalled IE from here

I looked everywhere on the internet, but I can't talk about what most of these solutions. Some people are proposing the deletion of the registry files. I know that these files are really important and I don't want to delete anything and cause a big problem for me.

Some of the solutions use language I don't understand; they give you a solution and a lot of people claim that it works, but how run the solution is not explained; If this is not enough. I assume that the solutions are designed for people who are good with computers, but I'm not, so if you are answering this, explain your solution in words that even a baby would be able to follow the instructions. Please do not automatically assume that I know where something is and leave out of your explanation, because chances are, I'm not.

Problem solved: I reinstalled the browser explore the microsoft Web site. I guess they really want users to have the browser on their computer, to be used or not: s

    How it works is usually the application (explorer.exe is an application) in question is open about everything that monitor his last (final) session was closed the.  Not all applications have this built-in memory, but most do.

    I don't think that even something TO manage multiple monitors (this is what it was built for) will do what you are wanting.  ;-)  I see no way of programming of this type of automation.  ;-)

  • My photos are open in the paint and really really big... Help!

    I have Windows 8. I printed one of my pictures a few days ago, and now all my pictures are open in the paint and really appear very large.

    Hi Sandy,

    An ideal size for an image is about 25 k. Check the properties of the image file to see the size of the image is. Do not resize the original image, resize a copy. To resize the copy of the image:

    1. right click on the image file in the File Explorer, select Open with, painting.

    2. Select the main Image, stretch/tilt menu item... Change the percentages Horizontal and Vertical at a percentage less than 100. Keep the percentages equal to maintain proportions.

    3 select the main file menu item > save as to save the resized image.

    Let us know the results.

  • How to enable/disable preferably: "Show Start Workspace when no documents are open" via the script?

    Hello, does anyone know how to disable the item 'show 'Start' workspace when no documents are open"in the General preferences (11.3 InDesign (version 2015.3) via script or command?):

    screenshot1.png

    I'm about to deploy several other parameters with CC2015 via script .jsx in the startup scripts folder; a parameter I did was turn off the frame of the Application (app.generalPreferences.useApplicationFrame = false ;)

    I thought that this setting would hide the workspace of starting, but when the startup script runs this command, instead, I see more buggy behavior, a random window appears with the news of the workspace of departure, and then InDesign freezes completely.

    See attached screenshot3.

    Screen Shot 2016-04-13 at 3.39.42 PM.png

    I have deploy a default file, this setting but really tried to get away from that and would like to find a way to disable this check box with a command or a script...  I searched around the object model and cannot find it.

    Much obliged for all help!

  • Document from Windows Media Player AND MS Windows open on the same screen

    Hello.

    I'm doing a very long media (recorded voice) transcript of court recorded on Windows Media Player in a document typed on MS Word (using Windows XP).

    I would like to know if it is possible to have Windows Media Player and my document strikes MS Word open on the SAME screen.  I am currently switch between two programs using my bottom toolbar.  It is extremely time consuming and not very well.  Ideally, I would like to open my Windows Media Player, in a small screen on the right upper side of my MS Word document.  This would allow me to work out of the same screen without having to click will result in my bottom toolbar to switch between these programs.  I'm sure that I explained properly :-).  ANY help, suggestions and advice will be highly appreciated.

    Kind regards

    You should be able to do it by opening the two programs, then right click on the taskbar and selecting "Tile Windows vertically".  Just make sure that they are only two open programs.

    Thanks for posting back.

    If you have successfully transferred your files and they are stored in a location on the hard disk, that is, in a folder or drive on your computer, they will remain on your computer, regardless of any number of reboots.

    Hope this information is useful. If the problem persists, please post back for assistance.

  • Hyperlinks open in the same browser window

    Hey Gang!

    How do I create a hyperlink so that it opens in the same browser window and don't keep open a new window each time?

    See you soon!

    Gregory

    Hello

    It's kinda a 'hack', but you can use a Flash movie embedded to have more control over the process of any hyperlink. Basically, you simulate the hyperlink to a button in Flash, but instead of looking like a navigation button, you use the text of your hyperlink. This has the added benefit that you can make the text respond to mouse rollovers and clicks with a color change, something will links in PowerPoint.

    So, assuming you named the instance of your 'button' as myLink_btn, you add some actionscript to the main timeline:

    myLink_btn.onRelease = function () {}
    getURL (" http://my.url.com/index/index.htm","_self");
    }

    You compile your little Flash movie and just embed in your Powerpoint where you want. The student will never see the difference. We use this solution to provide the student a "Printable" presentation version - until we compile the PowerPoint with presenter, allows us to make a pdf Acrobat version and upload it to the Breeze server. On the first page of the presentation is a based on flash "link" to the pdf document, and the student assumes only Breeze is 'print' a copy of the presentation.

    More on getURL: you can have load a window named by replacing '_self' by the name of the window or a new window with "_blank". The getURL command also allows to send javascript commands in the browser that is running the Breeze presentation. If you need to use relative links (if you go to the construction of a stand-alone application on a CD, for example, and you want to link to the pdf documents in a subdirectory), this is the best way to do it, as the presenter did a bad job of conversion of links in PowerPoint. And, as I said, you can have the links "light up" when the mouse user above them, something that connects in PowerPoint will not be.

    But... to say that you have 30 pdf documents on your Breeze server, and you want to make a navigation to a simple page for them. If you are not concerned about LMS data capture, it's MUCH easier to simply create the interface all in a single Flash document and send the student to one - just put all the pdf documents in a folder on the server of the game is to "allow public consultation", and they don't don't even need to log the server to read. :) It is an excellent solution if your company is like mine, where some people have created their own little fiefdom controlling the real web server, and you use Breeze to accommodate all kinds of resources that would normally be available on your intranet. If you say that you want to host a resource on the 'web', you will need to go through them (and what a pleasure a process i.e. - they insist on building everything themselves to justify their budget)... but if its on 'training Breeze sever', they don't care.

    Laughing out loud.
