Windows Explorer keeps returning to the file at the top of the file
I recently started to experience a problem with the Windows Explorer. When I display the contents of a folder with many files or folders in there, so that the vertical scrolling is necessary, I find that if I scroll down (by any method), after about seven seconds, the display returns to show the files/folders at the top of the list, regardless of the question to know if I still have my finger on the mouse button. Also, if I try to change a file name, if I'm not done in 7 seconds approximately., it restores the original file name and any change that I was typing is lost.
Any suggestions?
Problem seems to be fixed, thank you.
Methods 1 and 2 did not find any problem. Method 3 (Clean Boot) disappear the problem (of the erratic behavior of windows Explorer). I removed several non-Microsoft services that I don't think are necessary and restored Normal startup. The cause of the problem is somewhere between the services that I stopped, but I don't know which application is the culprit. However, none of these services are required and the system boots faster without them!
I also discovered - finally - how to defeat the free trial of Bullguard I want!
Thank you
Keith.

That's happened? When trying to download Windows Explorer, a bunch of my files (including web browsers) has been treated by my Acrobat Reader. No idea how or why this has happened. This has also changed the icon for these files (including browsers). Could not change their return. Tried to uninstall and reinstall Acrobat Reader a few times. With Acrobat Reader installed now I can't open my browsers or other files that has changed. With Acrobat Reader uninstalled icons are appropriate and I can open the browsers, but other files may not always be open. What happened, and what I can do to use Acrobat Reader again and also use my browsers and open the other files?

When searching for files in Windows Explorer (WIN 7), can the railways under folder reading "c:\help\me\please" instead of "Please (c:\help\me)?
Thank you!
What you can do is to do a search, right-click on any column heading (for example name, folder, etc.), and then click "Folder path" from the list that appears. You can also click to turn off the folder. The next time you're looking for in this area, this column of path of the folder should appear. You can drag the columns in a different order also.

By double clicking on a file in Windows Explorer it only starts the program it does not open the actual file. 1 program, all the others still work ok.
This option is used to work, I installed a viewer of this program option (it's a based CAD program) and after that I uninstalled the viewer that he would not even start the program, he was trying to launch the viewr. I noticed that the file association was still for the Viewer so I changed it back, but he now throws only program. Under right click, properties, file Type: it is said the extension only where it used to say the name of the program.
Thank you
Sam

Perhaps there is a virus on the disk. The symptoms you describe suggest. If you have anti-virus software on your PC, try to scan your hard disk with it. If not, you can get one for free here:http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/.

I have Windows Home Premium 64 bit
4 GB OF RAM
2.4 GHz
NVidia GeForce GT 320M
Thank you for your help, but I tried something else. What you suggested, it was too complicated for me :) I restored Windows 7 to the point before the problem started (which was a recent Java Update December 26) and even if he says that restoration could not be complete, it seems to be invalid the latest version of Sun Java and Windows Explorer now works as it is supposed to.
I have a new question now, if update SunJava caused my windows Explorer keep crashing how can I keep the java software to install this update again? Thanks a lot for your help.

Ideas:
- You have problems with programs
- Error messages
- Recent changes to your computer
- What you have already tried to solve the problem

Hello Androidipous,
Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Community!
Scrolling occurs if you double-click the item that you are expanding. If you click on the arrow to the left of the file that you expand the list will stay where it is and lay them down.
The parchment you see Windows Explorer tries to display the full path to the parent records to existing records, but according to the list of the programs/size of the screen, the result can be that the folder is scroll to the bottom.
Hope that helps, I look forward to hearing from you.

My iPad keeps returning to the home page
MY iPad 5.01 keeps returning to the homepage when you use, how dp to stop this
By 5.01 iPad do you mean a first generation iPad?
It is very possible that what you're trying to do is simply beyond the capabilities of the iPad. If you do not have a first generation iPad then your device is 5-6 years, which is considered old in the world of technology.
One thing you can try is to force your iPad to restart. Press the sleep and home for 20 seconds approximately. If you see a slider offering to put off, ignore that and hold the buttons until you see the Apple of money. Once you see that, let go of taken and let it reboot and see if that helps.

Original title: Signature Collision?
I'm having hard to the installation of a second external drive. I use Windows 7 Ultimate RC. There was a WD 1 TB drive My Book already installed - healthy and works very well. The problem occurred after installing a second WD 1 TB my book reader. I followed all the instructions, pluuging the drive to a USB hub. Windows found the disk, installed drivers and reported the new drive ready for use.
Windows Explorer does not see the new drive. Devices and printers shows 2 external drives from WD. Disk Management shows as 2 drives, but the second disk is offline because of a 'Signature' Collision
Each player works very well if it's the only drive plugged in. "Eject My Book" does not work because a program (or more) are to use the player in the background (Windows or Norton).
I installed the latest firmware and I'm still having this problem. I've been emailing WD with this problem and they are running out of ideas.
Can anyone help?
Thank you

HP Pavilion Elite HPE: Windows Explorer can't see the folders/files
My computer seems to have nuts. I have several times & suddenly (in minutes) began to receive messages "Windows Explorer is not responding", with choices such as "search solution and restart the program", "stop program", "wait." Also, it happened several times for Firefox.
Right click on a folder on the desktop will block. In fact, who seemed to start the problem. I wanted to do a right-click & Delete a folder on the desktop.
Can I use desktop shortcuts & open Office files, but I can't see the contents of the C drive, etc. Looks like it is filling when I click on "Computer", which will display all of the subfolders... a green bar moved from left to right at the top for more than an hour, but still no folders/files are displayed.
It is now after midnight. I'll leave it as; non-stop. If all goes well, he rebuilds "pointers" or other & will be done by morning.
Your computer is clean.
