• Windows Explorer button shows only libraries

  A few days in a new pc with new to me Windows 7 and the Windows Explorer button suddenly only shows 'Libraries' records and files recently viewed. How do I show the full c: / drive once again, with my Photos, etc., and usb drive E when you use)?

  1. first of all, you will need to open Windows Explorer shortcut properties. If you want to change the folder target of the shortcut in Explorer Windows that is pinned to the taskbar in Windows 7, press the 'SHIFT' key and right-click on the icon in the taskbar. It will open the Windows XP/Vista old style context menu where you should select the option "Properties".

  Alternatively, you can right-click on the icon that will show the jumplist. Now, even once with the right button on the entry of "Windows Explorer" presents in the jumplist and select the properties option:

  For the other shortcuts in Windows Explorer as a shortcut in all programs menu or in the office, you do not have to press the SHIFT key. Just right click on the shortcut and select Properties.

  2 once you open the properties of the shortcut, you will see %windir%\explorer.exe written text in the targettext box. You just need to change this text string to customize the destination for the Windows Explorer shortcut folder.

  To open the my computer when you click on the Windows Explorer shortcut, just add an blank space, and double quotes ("'") at the end of the text in the text box target as shown in the following screenshot:

  

  If the entire text string would become %windir%\explorer.exe ""

  That's all. Now whenever you click on the Windows Explorer shortcut, it will open the my computer window instead of displaying the default libraries.

  3 if you want to set the target to a drive or folder, do not add double quotes. Just add the path to the end. By example, if you want to open the C: drive on the target%windir%\explorer.exe C: text string or if you want to open a folder e.g. D:\Setup, then set the text string target on %windir%\explorer.exe D:\Setup

  You can see its very simple and easy to change the shortcut to Windows Explorer startup folder in Windows 7.

  NOTE: You can also use environment variables to change the folder target to the Documents folder, profile folder, etc. You can get the complete list of all the variables of environment here.

  PS: If you want to restore the functionality of Windows Explorer shortcut and want to open libraries once again, simply remove newly added text in the target text box strings and assign %windir%\explorer.exe again.

• My files in Windows Explorer suddenly spent the double click to single click

  Out of the blue my Windows Explorer has suddenly changed to open files and folders by double-clicking on a single click. I don't like this and change (mainly because my voice recognition software works best with the double click method). How can I go on this return failover? Here is a picture of my Windows Explorer, you will notice that all the files are highlighted as if they were links in Internet Explorer.
  

  In the inside of any folder, press Alt on the keyboard to display the menu bar, and then choose Tools > Folder Options to change this setting.

• Windows Explorer 7 change modification timestamps of files while selecting

  I have something very weird.

  One volume, it is in fact a TrueCrypt container and a hidden, but still: nothing is weird anywhere except in one place where I am browsing of .eml files, which are emails from some backup program.

  In fact, copying the files to my regular C: partition changes also modification dates, but that may be a bug in Windows 7 "regularly." I just used RichCopy to copy this 6 000 file folder. If Explorer now would end never read the new directory... so much worse I deleted most of it using a different file Explorer, and now the behaviour is not replicated here.

  There is a strange difference between the Explorer on my TrueCrypt volume window and my C: drive, which is also TrueCrypt, just not hidden.

  The folder C: shows options records 'Date' 'Modified' and 'Created' as columns, while the hidden volume indicates 'Modified' and 'Created' as an option for the columns, but not the simple "Date." What more, apparently this column 'Date' analysis (or indexed) the contents of the file, because it shows email dates not present in one of these stamps of file. This would explain why the column 'Date' is not present on the other volume, because I think that it is set to Index only the volume of my system. This could also explain why Explorer took several minutes able to read the contents of the folder and has not yet finished before I canceled it.

  But that in itself may not be good, because the indexer does not actually cover these locations and each file is scanned in fact.

  Then, the reasons for what it is is not known. My tool using alternative (XYplorer) now no longer retains the change dates. At the time wherever the files are copied, they are still correct, but less than a second, I see the date mod change at the present time. And now RichCopy ALSO cannot keep mod-dates. All these volumes are NTFS.

  Referencing of: Windows 7 Windows Explorer change suddenly last updated Date of the files attribute

  During this time, it does not change the date of any other file I can copy. Since the same volumes. Not for the other files can be analyzed as text, image, audio. It does only to EML. But only for the location, after that I copied the files somewhere else (on the same volume) before I put back the date mod (changing the time system and then do the thing) it will that thing even in this other place. And now to the main location also is more compatible. He will do it is no longer the files I copied elsewhere when the date was a day back. But it always does to any other files.

  Maybe my backup tool that created the files just made something weird, I don't know.

  This is much like the following article.  Maybe their solution will work for you...

  "*.eml timestamp - select the file in Windows Explorer changes the modified Date.

  The columns that you see in a window of the Explorer can be customized (in the Explorer window, press then release the ALT key, then select 'View'-> 'Choose details', or you can set it by choosing a 'type' to the file (right click on the folder-> properties-> customize (tab)-> change "what kind of folder do you want?))  Some will be displayed 'Date', some don't.

• 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.

• Sometimes! Win7 Explorer shows all the computers on my network

  I've seen this question asked several times, but I never saw that she responded.

  I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate.

  When I open Windows Explorer, it may or it may not properly display all computers that are running on the network.

  Why?

  I'm on a small business network.

  On this network, there are Linux machines, other machines Win 7, Win XP (32-bit and 64-bit) and a NAS box.

  There is a 16 node switch link them together and a single router to connect to this network to the internet.

  Vs welcoming groups, working groups of the network discovery on or off, firewall on or off - I know you want to ask

  These issues, but to think.   Sometimes Windows Explorer shows all computers correctly.

  The real question is;  What would be - what makes US see a computer sometimes BUT not other times.

  That is a difficult question.

  I want to clarify that there is also a Win XP 64 bit machine on the network.   WE on that is still see the network as it really is.

  So what "feature" Microsoft has added to Win7, what causes this?

  and my research to solve this problem gave me a workaround solution.    If I absolutely have to allows US to observe one of the other computers,

  I can type //computername/ in the box at the top of US and that can see me the files/folders/drives on this computer.

  Thanks for your help.

• Floppy drive and CD players do not Up on my computer in Windows Explorer

  He is a teacher of Windows 7 machine.  Under computer, in Windows Explorer, show my two hard drives; but my floppy drive and CD discs do not show.  Currently, none of the disks has a disc inserted.

  However, if I click on computer, they all appear in the right pane on the devices with removable storage section.  If I double-click on any of the readers, it tells me to insert a disc, so I guess they are recognized.

  Under Tools, Folder Options, view, the option hide readers empty in the computer folder is disabled, so presumably, this isn't the problem.  Curiously, if I put a CD in one of the two drives and a floppy drive in the floppy drive, the CD come listed under the computer however, the floppy drive is still missing!

  How can I get the missing CD and floppy drive will appear under computer all the time, the inserted media or not?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Thank you!

  I know this is a very late response, but I had the same problem recently until I went into 'Organize' > "Folder and Search Options" and under the general tab in the "Navigation Pane" section, I checked the option titled 'Show all files' (this option for some reason any seemed to be solely responsible to hide my floppy drive and CD-ROM/DVD-ROM readers in only the Navigation pane just as you knew) for my own peace of mind I have also checked the option "Automatically extend to the current folder" so that the navigation pane would show the folder in which I was currently reviewing (as it did in Windows XP).

  I hope this helps someone else who has this problem and falls on this thread.

• In my pdf files windows Explorer before a pdf icon. Now, they show it as a Word doc. I recently updated my Acrobat 8 Professional. Whats up, Doc?

  In Windows Explorer (using Windows 8.3) all PDFs of my7 before a PDF icon! Now, they show as a same Word doc if they are PDF files. Recently, I've solved a problem "the organizers database is damaged and will be reset the next time Acrobat is launched...» "Which appears whenever I closed a PDF file. I have Acrobat updated with all the latest updates. Now, all of a sudden, I realized that all of my PDF files display the Word icon.

  Also, when I get a bill from Intuit and choose whether to save in PDF format, it generates a Word doc which is unreadable! That's happened?

  Hi jamesn7664596,

  Please check the file association.

  Or simply right click on the PDF file & set Acrobat as the default PDF Viewer.

  Kind regards

  How can I show the folder path in the title bar of Windows Explorer? I tried to switch to Classic view and check the "display full path" option under "Folder Options", but that did not work.
  If there are no built in parameter to do this, anyone know of a good third-party plugin that will accomplish this?

  There's a small utility called Aerobar that you can download here. It puts the full folder path in the title bar of Solution Explorer.

• Explorer Windows in Windows 7 change suddenly last updated Date of the files attribute

  I'm moving from XP Pro to Win 7 of last month during this process, I came across a disturbing behavior in Windows Explorer in Windows 7.

  In Windows 7 (and I hear Vista as well) Windows Explorer will sometimes change the file Date changed when slide it / file to a new location.  I spent hours researching this issue.  In some discussions, some participants said it is a reasonable thing, since copying a folder with files creates a new folder and new files, so a new modified Date is guaranteed.  I can understand that as a basis to change the creation Date.  This was the behavior under XP and I think that NT as well.  However, changing the Date of change is a fundamental departure from how the system of files are featured in the past, and it is also a serious departure from good sense.  At the very least, it will make it impossible to find or organize files by date of update, since the original modification Date (date the actual content of the file may have been modified) is lost.  It also seriously decreases the possibility of finding files duplicated by this attribute when simply copy a file it modifies.

  Change the folder view options can prevent this behavior (Options: view folders: check always show icons, never thumbnails).  In addition, edit a file to read-only will also stop this change of Date of modification.  However, none of these options provide a viable solution to this problem.  All first, change the option to display file then prevents look a thumbnails of the image files.  Change once the copy of file causes the copied files to change Date change date created.  The same is true for the readonly attribute (removing it causes the modification Date change), not mention that it is often impractical to effectively apply this strategy.

  I also note that this behavior is not consistent in all areas.  Files copied from a shared disc on a PC network do not seem to this behavior.  But, files and folders transferred by using Dropbox (www.dropbox.com) show the unwanted behavior.  Worse still, the behaviour was not consistent within the folder.  I transferred a file with the 2007 via Dropbox eml files.  In most tests, once the folder has been moved and dropped on the Win 7 machine (whether copied or moved) the Date of editing files has been changed to take account of the date and time that they were dropped.  However, in one case, two of the files has not changed the Date of change.  By clicking on the file or even open it to read has not made a difference.  The modification Date remained unchanged.  I don't really know why this was the case in this instance, given that these same files has been modified Date change in previous experiences.

  Frankly, I'm puzzled and dismayed that this did not become a more important issue.  Do not have a lot of imagination to see how this problem might affect users old files of e-mail to archiving as LME and anyone copy older files, who later need to search or sort them by the Date of change.  There are solutions that I know, as the compression of the files before any copy or use Robocopy with the appropriate options, but they are much less practical as drag - drop.  Furthermore, drag and drop is now so embedded in users what their likely natural choice for file copy or move.  Once the modification Date is lost, it cannot be found without a restore of backup files - once again, an unrealistic option and a lot of time.

  I think it is a serious problem that needs to be processed quickly by Microsoft.  Good design keeps logical and mitigates the factors that can lead to human error.  The above behavior fails both these needs.  Anyone found a solution for this (maybe change registry) or to know if and when Microsoft plans to approach this?

  I've just dealt with the same problem when copying all the contents of my hard drive and found an impressive (and without :-)) Microsoft Utility called RichCopy which solves this problem and makes it much easier to copy a large number of files/folders :-))

  Here is a link to the article about this in Microsoft TechNet Magazine described the tool, which has a link to download it as well: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2009.04.utilityspotlight.aspx

• All of a sudden I can't copy files in Windows Explorer in any method

  Suddenly I can't copy files in Windows Explorer in any method - I get a message from Clipboard "item not added: Format not supported by the Office Clipboard." Never had a problem before, same thing for any type of file, Word or jpg. Am on Windows 7 and Office 7. Have rebooted and done a virus scan, but cannot get this to work.  I can always copy the text from various sources, the problem is only with files.

  Close office word... If you have opened it.

  I personally do not know why you would want to copy instead of cut.

  Unless you like the duplicate files.

  Somewhere the Office clip board interferes with windows clip board,

  Most love because you have Office Open in another window and the clip Panel Office setting is set to always open or at least to check and change these settings.
