  In Windows 7:
  When you right-click the Windows Explorer button at the bottom of the screen on the task bar, it has an option to "remove from this list. all Frequent ' point/place' that there are listed...

  I used this option during most of the items listed to clean a little bit because I don't want to see it all.

  BUT:
  I have now six items/places to the left.  I want three of them to stay.  I would like to 'Remove' the other three, but the option "Remove from this list" DOES NOT WORK!

  I tried:
  -Manually remove items/locations...   Always in the list.  So I put them back
  -Search for places objects in a windows search to see if they appeared in a file list somewhere that I could remove a manually.  No foumd.

  HOW to REMOVE THESE UNWANTED ITEMS/LOCATIONS in the list of Windows Explorer?

  Thank you.   -TomE

• Missing Windows Explorer icon

  I have been happily using Windows 7 on this laptop for a couple of years.  I now rely on the study of the records and files (several years of IP gold accumulated in thar files) using Windows Explorer.  I also use the taskbar to pin program icons and quick start or switch windows.  About three weeks ago, I lost the browser icon in the taskbar if went to programes, accessories for re pin icon.  No entry program to explore in the folder! Weird.  So I click with the right button on the icon start and gave the "start Windows Explorer" option under the option "Properties".  Clicked on it.  Everything started off very well.  More strange!  The program works well, but there is no mention of the program on the computer and no icon.  When the program runs a degenerated icon Explorer appears and when I right click on it, it announces itself as "network photo capture centre" is not Windows Explorer.   If I pin it to the taskbar it opens a window of the Explorer, but the path of the file in the open window is ftp://BRW0022585483D2/.  I tried to restore using a restore point to solve the problem and that did not work.

  Any ideas how I can recover the missing icon?  Please notify.  The laptop is a Dell Latitude e4310 with an i 7 processor 64gig of RAM and an SSD hard drive.  Installing Windows 7 OEM supplied with the laptop is Windows 7 Professional installed SP1.

  I am currently using the Microsoft Security Essentials as my Antivirus which is uptodate. Run full scans with antivirus but the scans is not revealed. Also, I'm a windows user who is also updated regularly.

  So far, I noticed only these problems that make me very difficult to work. The main problem is that I'm not in a situation to format my laptop. Please help me with these problems.

  Hello

  Restart in safe mode and run the antivirus scans here. You have symptoms of an infected machine. Scanning in safe mode will reduce efforts of the virus to avoid detection.

  To restart in safe mode, restart normally, and when the system resets you can press the F8 key. It is point immediately after the screen logo POST or manufacturer initial of the system, and just before Windows starts to load. This will give you a boot menu where you can choose Safe mode.

  While you're here, you must also download and run the tool free malwarebytes here:http://www.malwarebytes.org/ (choose Safe mode with networking to do this). He can catch something that lack of MSE, no security tool is perfect.

• When the option is RECENTLY MODIFIED in Windows Explorer in Windows 7?

  In Vista, there was a practical option in Windows Explorer under LINKS FAVORITES, called RECENT CHANGES.  Go to C:\Users\USERNAME\Searches\Recently Changed.search - ms.  I used it a lot to make sure I got the files saved as my USB key that I've changed.  In Windows 7, I see some RECENT LOCATIONS, but no RECENT CHANGES.  How can I go back for RECENT CHANGES?

  Hello SDieker,

  An another workaround of sorts is to use recent as the location looking for recently changed. If you type lately in the address bar of Windows Explorer, you can view all the latest files/folder/program/etc. I then sort by modified Date to see what has been changed recently.

  Hope that helps.

• 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.

• Add the "Print Directory Listing" option to the context menu of Windows Explorer

  Get the error message when you try to use the "Print Directory Listing" solution found in:
  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321379/en-us on my new Windows 7 system (from February 2010).

  Could create the context menu of Windows Explorer for the task, but selecting just results in the following error message:

  "This file doesn't have an associatd with her program to perform this action. Please install a program or... to create an association in the default programs control panel. »

  Wentback and checked my Regedit work.  Even deleted the new key and she recreated (just in case.)

  NOTE: I had successfully used the instructions in this article to add "Print Directory Listing features on Windows XP systems, so I reviewed these instructions to see differences and noticed that it * no. * 'associate' step for Vista/Win7 in the article, but this step still shown for XP.»

  And, there seems to be NO WAY to associate a program (in this case, a ".bat") with all of 'record' as target.  Only choices I see these in the 'control panel default programs ' are'. [extensions] "and the protocols.

  So I'm puzzled.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  I just tried this with instructions to the http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321379/en-us link you provided and it worked fine.

  In view of the error you get here are my assumptions to what may be the problem.  Please try these out and answer:

  -Because it denounces, "file doesn't have an associated program.." I would make sure that when you created with Notepad the file .bat you na not to create a file called 'Printdir.bat.txt' or 'Printdir.bat.some_bad_extension '.  If your Windows Explorer settings are set to hide file extensions when you look at a file name, then maybe the REAL file extension you give the command file is being hidden on your part and Windows does not know how to open a file with the extension hidden type.  Make sure that you can see all the file extensions and make sure that the batch file is named with the .bat extension.

  -If you see very well all the file extensions in Windows Explorer and your file is called really Printdir.bat, make sure that you have saved in your root directory of Windows.  If you access %windir% you see Printdir.bat inside there?  If this isn't the case, put it there.  If you do, when you double-click the .bat file Windows run without error and print the dir?  If it works, you know that the batch file works correctly.

  -There's a typing error in the instructions for Vista/Windows 7, check that your registry entries look like this:

  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Print directory Listing\command

  This shows the new key under shell called "Print Directory Listing" and inside this key/folder another folder/key named "command".

  To within the key/folder 'command', it takes only one entrance with the name of (by default).  Double-click (default) and make sure that its value data is set to:

  Printdir.bat %1

  -You shouldn't need step "the associate" in Windows 7.

  -You can add "Add Print Directory Listing to the context menu of Windows Explorer" for the title of your question so that others can find it.

• Selection of Windows Explorer F3 Search options?

  After you select one of my hard drives in Windows Explorer, when I then search of F3, the results I get are often very confused (many reported files contain the search string to ASCII in the name of the file, or the contents of the file).

  Is there a way to control/tell the search engine if I want that he

  (a) matching in the only file names?

  (b) searching for matches in the content of the file only?

  (c) search for matches in the filenames or content of this file?

  It's particularly frustrating when I'm looking for a specific file, including a file extension. For example, a F3 Search for "hal.dll" gives a bunch of files, not just the one and only I'm looking for the "hal.dll" file. It's like the F3 research addresses the 'point' which separates it from the file name of the file as an OR logical operator extension.

  You can try using different filters, honestly, I've never had problems finding what I want using Windows Search.

  For example, you could search for "hal.dll" in one of the following ways:

  Name: = Hal.dll

  -The equal sign after the filter name: means Windows will only look for exact matches

  name: hal ext:dll

  -This would find all the files where the string hal appears in file name with extension dll

• Details of music file missing in Windows Explorer

  Hi, I had my files of music for a long time, nothing has changed and I have something different in terms of music players.

  The details of my music (artist, song etc.) files disappeared in Windows Explorer, but they appear in Winamp.
  I am also unable to change file details. They are all for most .mp3 files

  When you open windows Explorer, check the option views and assign details so you should be able to see the file name, size, type, artist, Album title, year, track number and duration.
  You can open the player windows media, go to the library and check if you can change each file that are listed there.
