Windows Explorer, some blue, black color display files.

I have about 20 videos on my HDD, why are two appear blue? I'm not having any problem with the files I just want to know why, (NOTE; I have a C and a D hard drive. What's happened since I dragged these two files on the D drive, where they were copied from C to D)

Hello

Blue files are compressed NTFS.

Why are some of my file names blue?

  • Question from Windows Explorer/view - images from the image file can be displayed instead of simply as an icon?

    Under Windows Explorer/view when I click on a folder of images I got a list of icons with jpg file name. It is difficult to imagine what is in the photo with DSC0526, or IMG7322, or NB67388. I thought that it would be much more convenient if images are displayed instead of simply as an icon. Is there a way to do this?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Windows Explorer - right column to automatically display the left folder?

    Simple question for Windows Explorer: is it possible for Win7 64 bit to display in the column on the right immediately which is highlighted in the left column?  (Like most of the any Manager files on the planet!)  I guess they try to minimize the work that the program does stuff that shows only the user didn't need.  When the user arrives at its destination they press enter or space to display the content.  I understand your point and minimize the workload for the program.  Stupid of course in real life, is not an option.  As usual, Microsoft, like most software companies think people want to think for them.  Not the case.  Unless of course I missed the 'show content immediately' option somewhere.  Its got to a point where you cannot assume a sense of almost any software company.  They all try to think for you, you Lasso in their way of doing things.  Guess it helps in the Department of bugs, but makes for very unhappy and frustrated users.  Or if you are a fool, do you think that the system is perfect, because it assumes that all your decisions for you.  Society is reflected in many ways in the design of software.  Doesn't look like good people.  People seem to become lazier and lazier or they become busier and busier and can not do even the simplest decisions.

    He agreed with the request of the customer.  Visitors don't like the record, in that they were to change until they had highlighted that they really wanted to enter.  It was particularly embarrassing when put customers highlight a network location that takes several minutes to connect or charge (heaven help you if this was a corporate backup tape location).    It was also a common complaint that it was incompatible (derivative of something is not supposed to cause an action occurs in a part any system: only by clicking or by selecting with button enter should).

    Changes based on direct feedback from customers on Windows 7, this is what makes Windows 7 "designed by the people."  If you don't like the decisions, please provide your feedback so that your thoughts can be heard in the development of future versions.

  • Windows Explorer stops responding when you access file downloads

    I'm having a problem with the Windows Explorer does not when I try to access the downloads folder. The problem seems related to a file, a Java .exe file I downloaded. Explorer hangs up as soon as I try to do something with this file, I can't even remove it. I got out the folder other files in desktop and using research and move the file, but when I try to do something with this file, Explorer crashes again.

    No video file in the folder, the file problem seemed to be a Java update file. I managed to remove using an third-party uninstall program, and the problem seems to have disappeared. My best guess is that the update program has been altered during the download.

  • Windows 7 crashes - blue screen is displayed when the mouse is flown over IE icon in the toolbar

    Hello

    I was struck with a weird problem.  I have a laptop Dell Inspiron N4110 with Windows 7 64-bit Home Basic.

    The laptop was working fine until last year.   The problem arises as below

    1. Open the IE or Google Chrome browser.  After that I open this browser I am able to browse Web sites, etc., using Wi - Fi and Datacard connection without any problems.
    2. I reduce the window IE or Chrome
    3. I move the mouse over the icon in the toolbar to maximize still IE.  Windows crashes and I get a blue screen.
    4. This behavior is replicable n number of times.
    5. Also, I believe that the accident occurred when I try to use the button left of the mouse and not the right button

    I raised an issue with Dell technical support that the laptop is still under warranty and that they were not able to help and asked me to contact MS to solve this problem.  I did the following, but of no use.

    1. Installed Avast Antivirus to scan the entire file system.  Previously, I had Kaspersky, but the license has expired.  There is no infection reported in any of the two.
    2. I used Malwarebytes to find malware.  Once again clean.
    3. I uninstalled the recent windows and Office updates, once again no help.
    4. As recommended by Dell support, I have updated Bios video driver drivers USB etc, but no help again.
    5. I removed the RAM cleaned and replaced but that was of no help again.  I replaced my defective existing of 4 GB of RAM with a 2 GB of RAM, thinking it could be a RAM.  It also did not help.
    6. I ran Chkdsk f and carefully checked for repair bad sectors, etc.,.

    Need help Urgent technicians of M/S on it.  It's really frustrating, and I don't know if this frequent crashes corrupt my hard drive.

  • 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?

  • Windows Explorer for Windows 7 - How to stop automatically sort my files

    I have Windows 7.  Explorer Windows automatically sorts my files in each folder.  I put in "sort by..." Name ', so for now he is sorting alphabetically, but no matter what I put in 'Grading', it does it automatically.  But I want to be able to move the files to the folder in different orders, and then once I'm satisfied with the order, then I can change the name of each file and then choose to classify them alphabetically or otherwise.

    For example, this is useful for a folder full of photos.  Let's say I have a folder with 50 photos in there of holiday, and I would like to re - order these photos, but I want to play visually with different orders until I have decide to order, I like most.  So I want to move each file/photo until I like the Decree.  To do this, I would open this particular folder in Windows Explorer, then select the "Large icons" view and then moving the photos until I like order.  And then once I have pictures in the order I want, then I would like to rename each picture (1, 2, 3, etc.) and then Windows Explorer say "sort by...» Nu.  That's how it was on my old computer, but I got XP and now I have Windows 7, but I can't imagine that Windows 7 would not let me do the same thing.  But the way it works for me now, Windows Explorer comes automatically orders/sorts my files depending on the option "sort by" I chose.  So if I change the name of the files (from 'Photo #25' to ' Photo #10 "'), it automatically goes this photo between" Photo #09 "and" Photo #11 ".»»  And if I try to move 'Photo #10' next to say "#37 picture"to see how they look next to each other, it won't let me. "

    so... Is it possible to have Windows Explorer "NOT" sort my files until I have to say?

    Microsoft has deliberately removed the ability to turn off the auto arrange. Microsoft's response:

    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:

    How to fix the Bug of scrolling in the left pane
    See the bottom of this post for help with the bug of scrolling in the left pane.

    The most important features that need to be returned to Windows Explorer:

    (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.

    (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 ability to scroll the window/pane mouse is with the mouse wheel, even if this window/pane is not selected.

    Inform you want Windows explorers returned Microsoft functions:

    Given that many people seem to agree that some or all of the changes made to Windows Explorer were actually less friendly user, you can go to the Windows 7 comments page and (politely) to let them know your suggestions to improve:

    http://mymfe.Microsoft.com/Windows%207/feedback.aspx?formid=195

    Note: do not have the message that is too long, there is a size limit for your message, even if page does not tell you on this subject. Also, do not just copy and paste from the list above - they'll think that the same person is repeatedly submit comments.

    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.

    A solution that worked for the restoration of some features.

    (1) install the free classic Shell. It's free, completely customizable and works like a mod for Windows Explorer, rather than a full blown replacement. Personally, I did not fit the classic Start Menu option, but you can if you wish.
    (2) restart the computer.
    (3) launch Windows Explorer and turn on "Always show Menus" (it's just for the configuration, you can disable it again later if you want).
    (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 go more retro and hit return to XP mode if you want (this adds lines to the tree of folders and adds a classic icon "+" for the expansion of folders).
    (6) set the parameters of other institutions. I have so that the bit "more details" in the dialogues of copy is automatically extended, I checked the option "display free space and size of the file in the status bar" (no need to right click on the drive to see how much space is left), personally, I decided to stay with the "overwrite file" dialog box Windows 7 style (the default is the simplest dialogue style Vista/XP) , and I went for the Windows Vista style folders display that looks about the same as the view from Windows 7, but get rid of the horrible jump.

    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.

    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...

  • The action cannot be completed because the file is open in Windows Explorer.

    OK, it seems to be coming a lot but no one was able to respond (including Microsoft) so I'll ask, and be as specific as possible.

    Because I work with vector art that I constantly have to save files by crush the and everything was cool with WinXP pro.  I have Win7 Pro and everything was cool, until recently.  Whenever I tried to overwrite my files, I would get an error message saying that the file was either dead or opened elsewhere, but it has happened about 50% of the time.  A launch the re-registration of files with different names.  After obtaining the files re-registered I then try to remove and rename files, but found I couldn't do it anymore, as I was constantly getting the error message "The action cannot be completed because the file is open in Windows Explorer."  Closing and reopening the browser do nothing.  Someone said if not empty the trash bin works, but not for me.  The files are on an external drive, I tried to disable the cache of writing by Device Manager and Windows Management Console (or other) frozen and took the pc with it (nice work, MS!).  Reboot seems to fix the problem for a bit, but he returned quickly and randomly.  It also seems to randomly select to lock files.  Some files I can not change, some that I can.  Others begin to operate after some time of inactivity.

    I tried to disable thumbnails in Explorer and even added a DWORD NoThumbnailCache in the registry, but it still happens.  Basically, I'll have to save all of the new files over and over again and that from time to time be able to remove the "old" while being only randomly too write others.  This question seems to be infestation Vista and Win7 and people have waited for a fix, Microsoft, but was mum on the issue.  If anyone can come up with a solution, it would be great.  It is killing my productivity!

    Common guys...
    Im having this problem too and I've been thought IE9 is at the origin of the problem, some how, I don't want to disturb...

    Here are some solutions:
    Please note that I'm looking, there is not any solution patch for this program by Microsoft, you can maintain it yourself. And correct solutions in this way losses.

    Solution 1: Use CMD.
    0 - note the following 3 steps will complete the process explorer.exe, so your desktop and windows Explorer all open files and any associated process would stop.
    1. run the Task Manager. (by pressing ctrl + shift + esc or etc)
    2 - go to the processes tab.
    3 - find "explorer.exe" and click on the button "complete the process". If you find several explorer.exe, kill them all.
    4. now, click the menu file-> new task (run...)
    5 type CMD, and then click OK.
    6. now you can do something you couldn't have done before with this user interface. Some useful commands:
    -cd: change the current directory. Use 'CD..' to the 'button' in windows Explorer.
    -dir: lists the existing file and folders in the directory current. Use ' dir/p' to the list in the pages.
    -del [file name]: removes the file [filename] existing in the current directory.
    -Rename [name of file] [new file name]: rename the file [old file name] existing or a file existing in the current directory to [new file name].

    Solution 2: Use a different file manager.
    0 - install and run another Manager file as "XYPlore".
    1 Note that the following 3 steps will end your explorer.exe process, so your desktop and windows Explorer all open records and all other related processes would cease.
    2. run the Task Manager. (by pressing ctrl + shift + esc or etc)
    3 - go to the processes tab.
    4 - find "explorer.exe" and click on the button "complete the process". If you find several explorer.exe, kill them all.
    5. use XYPlore UI and do what you want.
    Please note that the problem could happen with this kind of external explorers too. So close any file and go into a secure after your working directory.

    Solution 3: Do it yourself!
    If you can program, there are some codes that might help you. These codes which talks about Im, says MS Windows to remove your annoying pinned files just before you shut down the system.
    Here is an example:
    MoveFileEx ('C:\windows\system32\ld21E.tmp', nil, MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING or MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT);
    This code will work correctly in Delphi from Borland compilers, and as you can see, the "ld21e.tmp" file is deleted after compiling this code and restart your windows.

    I wish I can do better, as to publish an Explorer that do what you want automatically, so I hope that these can be useful.
    Some how you can check this thread too, it may be useful:
