• Since the update Windows 10, my CS5 Photoshop created jpg are no longer visible in Windows Explorer (File Manager)

  Since the update Windows 10, my CS5 Photoshop created jpg are no longer visible in Windows Explorer (File Manager).  I have reset Photoshop like application default for jpg files, rebooted.  Nothing has changed.  The ideas people?

  Hi R_Kelly,

  Hidden folder/file settings was the first place, I checked and kept checking each new reboot.

  I have copied below my temporary solution I posted in another forum thread.

  See point 7.  I found a way to make it visible again.

  1. I can see all jpg files created before Win10 update AND all the jpgs created by other programs, other than Photoshops after Win 10 update.

  2 Photoshop cannot see the newly created Photoshop created jpg files in the file picker at all since Upgrade to Win 10.  I've never had a problem of invisibility of file before winning 10 update.  My hidden files were always checked to be visible.  However, Photoshop can open if listed files in a basic text file search in Windows Explorer in the path of the file "recently used".

  3. the files are not visible or clickable at all in Windows Explorer tree or the Photoshop file selector. They become open and visible when listed in a basic text file search in Windows Explorer in the path of the file "recently used".

  4 Microsoft Office applications can't see the new Photoshop created Jpg files in file, only pre Win 10 update pickers jpg created by other applications and versions.

  5. the problem occurs only with Photoshop jpg created after the Win 10 update.

  6. I checked the settings "Show hidden files, folders and files of the operating system", and they remain as they were, which allows all the hidden to visible objects.  I kept the visibility settings files in this way since the early 1990s.

  Temporary fix below *.

  7. I did yet another simple search of the text Windows Explorer, he finds invisible jpg files less all links 'recently used' who were there yesterday (2nd day after I created the files), I checked the location of file properties file and it entered the original file I saved their.  Using a right-click of the mouse on the file to bring up the menu actions and file properties, I was able to copy and then paste the file into another directory.  I jumped on the directories to see if it remains visible and he (Yes). The new copy is now visible to the pickers of file in Photoshop and Microsoft Office applications.

• Windows Explorer - file list grayed out

  The files listed in Windows Explorer icons are gray.  Some programs cannot find these files.
  For example, the thumbnail of a jpg file is grayed out.  If I open the file with Windows and FAX viewer, the image appears but if I opened with Microsoft Picture Manager image is not displayed and a message saying that no files are in the folder.  Other programs, Eudora, BasicX, also can not find the files.  Microsoft Word and PowerPoint have not problems.  I recently did a system restore to two days ago for override contained in an attachment to email USPS.com false Trojan horse.

  Any help is appreciated.

• Cannot delete a Word in Windows Explorer file, said his opening in MS Word

  I have a regular file to MS Word (Word 2003) that I can't delete or move when I'm in Windows Explorer.  Whenever I try to move or delete the file, I get an error message saying: the file cannot be moved or deleted because it is open in MS Word.  However, MS Word is NOT open, nor is the file open in MS Word.

  How can I delete this file?

  P.S. The author of the file is known to me and other files from this author (or ANY other Word, Excel, pdf, files etc.) can all be deleted or moved - no problem

  Hi Holger-TLS,
  
  If you close the program, but the file is not yet clear, restart your computer. You can view all programs currently running on your computer in the Task Manager.
  
  
  Try this:
  
  1. press Ctrl + Alt + Del
  2. Select the Task Manager
  3. check if word.exe runs in the process
  4. If it is running, end it.

  Looks like you are part of the many people that does not agree with the features that have been removed from Windows Explorer.

  Installation of the classic interface can help. See the links below.

  Unfortunately when Microsoft Windows Explorer, they made some pretty horrible decisions - which many people complained. There are a lot of other managers of files available, as well free and for a price. One of them might be easier to use and the characteristics you want, here is a list of the most that are available:

  The most important fix or return to Windows Explorer features:

  (1) the option to turn off the auto arrange.

  (2) fix the Bug of scrolling in the left pane: If you view a folder and expand in the left pane to display its subfolders, the folder is annoyingly prefer to the bottom of the component causing the subfolders do not appear, making it difficult to work with. Double click on a folder in the left pane can also cause this problem.  Vote to fix it..

  (3) when several files are selected they should stay selected when changing the sort order (ex: name of size). Maintenance of the files selected in the sort should be a requirement, and this feature should not have been removed.

  (4) the option to remember the view settings of each folder (Recalling the positions and sizes of the individual folder window).

  (5) the option to remove 'Complete the selection of lines' to see in detail. "Selection of whole lines" is very annoying when the file is complete and has no empty space to click on. Also, when dragging / delete the file to another folder - if you release the on the line of a subfolder or file de.exe/.zip/.rar 'selection of whole lines' causes the file to be moved in the subfolder ou.exe/.zip/.rar instead file the file provided.

  (6) a search engine with all the advanced search options. No required syntax.

  (7) the option to always display free disk size space and record on the State and/or the details pane toolbar. Also always automatically show the size of the selected files (when several files are selected it will not show the total size).

  (8) the option to show the pane that is your mouse with wheel mouse, even if this pane is not selected.

  Using the classic interface to restore functionality of Windows Explorer

  After you have installed the free Classic Shell , you can customize Windows Explorer more closely to how you want it, the quote below is just a way to do it. Click here to see some of the options that you can customize, and here is the FAQ page for the classic interface.

  A solution that worked for the restoration of some features.

  (1) install the free Classic shell.  It's very customizable and works like a mod for Windows Explorer rather than a full blown replacement. You need to install the classic Start Menu option, but you can if you wish.
  (2) restart the computer.
  (3) launch Windows Explorer (Start - computer) and turn on "Always show Menus" (organize - Layout - check menu bar). It's just for the configuration, you can disable it again later if you wish.
  (4) make a right click on the menu bar and turn in the "Classic Explorer bar. This adds a series of icons for cut/copy/paste in Explorer. Basically, it also adds the "Configuration" icon
  5) go to the configuration and from there you can edit things to your heart's content. To kill the horrible record-jumping 7 Windows, place you Vista in 'Style Navigation pane. You can even hit back to XP mode if you want (this adds lines to the tree of folders and adds a classic icon "+" for the expansion of folders). The Windows Vista folder display style looks about the same as the view from Windows 7, but it gets rid of the horrible blow.
  (6) adjust other settings you want.

  After that, you can activate the toolbar and menus walk back to explore if you wish. Explorer Windows seems largely the same, but folders is no longer jumping around.  Vote for Microsoft to fix this bug.

  Now if only MS allows to code correctly so that we don't have to mess with third-party applications to get Windows actually works...

• Win 7: Windows search no longer works from within Windows Explorer, big problem!

  Hi all, in the past I have been using Windows 7 search feature and I'm in love. She was very powerful. What I liked in particular has the ability to search to explore: [win key] + F, then you type in your search (as "ext:pdf date: 2010 wonderful" returned all the documents with the extension .pdf changed in 2010 or later and containing the keyword 'wonderful'). VERY another useful feature is the ability to search ANYWHERE on the computer, for example in the records, but also outlook. For example, when I wanted to recover all matters affecting a client (like "boeinggg + body" would mean any document or email on the problems of society and the fuselage of boeinggg;) ("from: condittt" would return all email sent by Mr. Condittt). UNFORTUNATELY, it doesn't work anymore, and I don't understand why. I searched on +-10 hours on various blogs and sites Web + myself, without success. I think I tried everything I could think of. Of course, among other things, I tried to look for a problem with automated tools of Windows, and I also rebuilt the index several times, move it to a different location, try indexing less files, etc etc etc. Research from outlook still works, but it's so slow and not practical to use at all (only the buttons, I prefer keywords). Research in the library always work also, that is to say if I'm in a certain folder and this folder is indexed, so I can search for documents inside as explained above. But my various indexed files are not all on the same tree, so in this way is really painful. I also tried only indexing outlook, he does something, the exact number of items is displayed as 'indexed' I can search and outlook. But still no Explorer - and that's what I want to do. I also tried to uninstall and reinstall search Windows (programs and features, enable or disable, windows searches the windows features). I also tried the 'old way' windows search (programs and features, enable or disable, the indexing service windows features). Of course, I have a valid Windows license file (Windows 7 Professional SP1), to date. My computer is a brand new, more stimulated for laptop Dell Precision (not reinstalled by myself so no Dell * on it). And... I'm repeating myself, but it did not work before! "One day" (I have not noticed exactly when) he has stopped working correctly, at the beginning, I thought that I could survive it but now I know that I really like this feature, I need. If anyone can help, I am really disappointed here. I can hardly re - install windows, because I still don't know the problem, so it would definitely be back. Otherwise, it would be 'just' a matter of 10 hours of work and I would do it, because I really, REALLY need this feature, which in my opinion is the only reason to use outlook today. I could also try the hotline of Dell, but I doubt that they will really help. Thank you very much in advance to the community, I will respond to all suggestions, I will follow all advises reasonable, and I understand what has happened and how to solve similar problems, I will explain in great detail.

  Hello
  
  We are pleased that the issue is resolved.
  
  One of the reasons could be a software conflict. It could also be a malware or a virus.
  It could be linked to the corruption of the files of the user account as well.
  We know in the future if you have problems with Microsoft Windows.

• Firefox (15) inserts a "Firefox HTML document" in the Windows Explorer file > new menu. It breaks my work bosses (Alt-FWF stops working). You will need to disable.

  I often use the shortcut Alt-FWF to create new directories under Windows.

  When 15 FF is set as default it modifies the file menu from Windows Explorer.

  She inserts an element "Firefox HTML document".

  This point seems to sabotage the above key combination. He intercepted the last f.

  In addition, I object to the name that is simply not true, for me.

  I deleted the registry key that inserts this thing. Unfortunately it appears again.

  I want to stop this behavior.

  How to kill it. (Other than by a different default browser.)

  I see, you have created an order C:\windows\shellnew for .htm files.

  Poking around for where the description could come... Have you tried to rename (by default) or FriendlyTypeName under:

  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FirefoxHTML

  to see if it works? And if so, how long it sticks?

• Windows Explorer: Files & grayed out after Trojan Virus deleted folders

  Lucky me some site I went to via an alert Google downloaded a virus and I had to restore my Dell PC to factory settings. In any case, I keep all my data on 2 external hard drives, so I didn't lose data on the C:\ drive.

  So, everything is 'back to normal' but one of my external hard drives, a Maxtor 3200, exploring with Windows Explorer showed no top file until I selected in Windows Explorer, the option 'To see the hidden files' - now I can see and even access to files and folders, but they are all grayed out when displayed in Windows Explorer. I reread the Maxtor and AVG shows as own. Any help is greatly appreciated!
  David

  When you choose to show hidden files, then any file or folder that is hidden will appear gray as you describe.  What you need to do is to display the files and folders.  You can do this by right-clicking the file or folder, select 'Properties' and uncheck 'hidden '.  Another method is to open a command window (start-> run-> "cmd") and use the "attrib" command to show files and folders.

• Problems related to Windows Explorer in Vista

  Since I had to do a clean install, I had problems in Windows Explorer.  Whenever I try to click with the right button on the display window elements, especially if I'm trying to delete or move, Explorer stops and restarts, making me try to redo what I was doing.  She also does it sometimes when I select the menu bar.

  I ran sfc/scannow from the command prompt, and he comes back and tells me that some files were corrupted and not repaired.  I tried to look in the newspaper for the problems, but I get a window "access denied."  I run as administrator when I do that.  I used my windows disk and tried the repair function on the files of it.  That did not fix it.

  The only message I could see is this message from the link to report problems in the Panel:

  Any ideas on how to fix?  It becomes very irritating and makes getting whatever it is in fact a problem.

  I might suggest to capture an image of user mode of the accident which has the potential to identify the cause.

  You can configure Windows to create dumps of user mode. First, create a System Restore Point.

  If you copy and paste the following text in Notepad and save it as a .reg file (save with the .reg extension and give it a name like explorerdump.reg) then right click on the .reg file and select "Merge" to add to the registry, when the .dmp file explorer.exe plant should be created in the C:\CrashDumps folder:

  Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows error Reporting\LocalDumps\explorer.exe]
  "DumpFolder" = hex (2): 43, 00, 3A, 00, 5 c 00, 43, 00, 72, 00, 61, 00, 73, 00, 68, 00, 44, 00, 75,.
  00, 6 D, 00, 70, 00, 73, 00, 00, 00
  
  
  After Explorer (explorer.exe) crashes, you can, and then make the .dmp file available (provide the link) via a public folder on OneDrive or similar site.

  Here are a few links on the use of OneDrive (SkyDrive):
