• In Windows Explorer, the folder in my library is empty

  We do not use McAfee on our PC but when Oracle updates Java (or it's Adobe Flash?) they try and push McAfee in your throat.  Apparently my wife that this happen at least once on his laptop and the library records have disappeared.  The solution I chose was through folder options simply to display hidden directories and files.  It worked like a charm without touching the registry.  It might take a little further by changing the attributes of the folder back library hidden hidden away and restore the original settings of the system folder.

• How to view all the entries in the Windows Explorer SendTO folder?

  I have 53 entries in my SendTO folder. When I want to send a file in this folder, not all entries are displayed. Is there a way to 'scroll' at the end of the list?

  Hello

  I don't know if there is a limit on the number of slots for this menu, but 53 seems to be a very large number.

  You cannot scroll through this menu unless a scroll arrow appears at the top or bottom of the menu.

  When the menu is visible, you can try by pressing the up/down arrows.

• How to adjust the default column is displayed in the Windows Explorer screens

  I would like to change the concrete by default of my columns when you use Windows Explorer screen. It bothers me that I can't find a way to change the columns that appear by default whenever I open a new window.

  I want to display more or less than the default value. Everytime I open a window a new session with the Explorer, it displays update, Type, size and tags by default.
  I know how to add or remove a column, but it is a pain when you have to do every time especially if I have more than 10 windows open at a time.
  There is some great information available especially with the content of media like music, videos or photos. There are many categories to choose from which must be wound up manually like BitRate, author, size, Date acquired, update, etc...

  Is it possible to change this so that by default, I can choose the columns to display by default. Do not have to adjust them each time I open a new window.

  It is a 64-bit version of Vista Ulitimate, but if there is a response, I think it applies to all Vista OS...

  Hello Chuckbytes,

  Thank you for posting.  I have a solution to your problem.  This fix is to modify the registry.  If you do not want to edit the registry, and then don't do these steps.  Also always do a backup of your registry before making any changes.
  These steps are courtesy of Médard Ghazi of Tweakguides.
  Please let me know if this helps you.

  Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk

  Changing folder views

  For example, you can set your directory \Users\[username]\Downloads to display in the Details view, but if you copy a picture, song or video in the directory, the next time that view you the content they can be display large icons mode. Even if go you back and change the view type, it can reset itself once more the next time you go a different file type in this directory.

  Solution

  Open the registry editor-
  Navigate to the following keys:

  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags]

  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagMRU]

  Right-click on the bags key in the left pane and select Remove, and then do the same for BagMRU. This will remove most of the existing customizations for things like window sizes, positions and views. While still in the same place in the registry editor, you must manually recreate one of these keys, with a new parameter. Right-click on the following key in the left pane:

  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell]

  Create a new key called bags to replace the one you just removed. Right-click on the bags, select new > key and the name of this new AllFolderskey. Right click on AllFolders, select new > key and name the new key Shell. The final result should look like this:

  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER Settings\Software\Microsoft\ Windows\Shell\Bags\AllFolders\Shell]

  Now left-click on the last key Shell and in the right pane click right-click in an empty area and select new > string value. Name this new string FolderType and once created, double-click on it and in the value data box, you can set the default view, that all files will be initially (unless otherwise stated) by entering one of the following values:

  NotSpecified
  Contacts
  Documents
  Music
  Photos

  For example, if you enter Documents in the FolderType value data box (which I recommend), then all the files for which you do not manually set a default view to the standard Documents records display as you set it.

  Now, in Windows Explorer, go to your \Users\[username]\ directory and for each of the folder main types down there (Documents, photos, music, videos), make sure that you set the view as you want, including things like choose the columns to show, and what each of them is, the size of any icons/thumbnails, how they are sorted, etc. When you make the changes for each folder click organize at the top of the Windows Explorer, select "Folder and Search Options", go to the display tab and click on the button "apply to folders. This will set this view to all folders of this type even, and this method also means that should you copy files to another type in a folder, it will not change this folder view settings - in the future that the settings should stay exactly as you let them.

  Update: There is a step more that can help ensure that these parameters remain fixed. Navigate to the following key:

  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell]

  Left click on the Shell key and in the right pane, if you can see BagMRU Size then it is not necessary to take this step. If she's not there though, right click and select new > DWORD 32-bit value and name BagMRU Size. Now, set this value to 10000 in decimal mode (or 2710 in hexadecimal mode).

  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...

  Questions about installing Windows 7?
  FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions from Installation Windows 7 & responses

• 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.

• Windows Explorer photo views

  In Windows Explorer my image when opening folders used to display small pictures. Now, they only display the stock icons.

  Under 'View' & 'More Options', I don't see any option to get small photos.

  I have recently reinstalled Windows 7, & I think the problem started after that.

  Maybe I'm missing something in the settings or the basic settings.

  I use no photo gallery.

  I found the answer. It's for Windows 7:

  Windows Explorer\Tools\Folder Options\View ~.

  Uncheck the first line - "always show icons, never thumbnails".

  "images" now appear as small "photos."

  The menu 'More options' can still be used to increase\decrease the size of the photos posted.

• I am trying to transfer an old profile in Windows 7, but the AppData folder does not appear under my name in the USERS folder. How can I find it?

  When I go to the troubleshooting help and click Open containing folder I get a window of Windows Explorer that displays the path used (s) - Edward-AppData, etc.. But when I click on the small triangle to the right of the King Édouard the menu drop-down does not include AppData, and if I just go in Windows Explorer and the Edward users, there is no AppData folder. So I can't overwrite the profile file with saved my laptop earlier profile information. Case beside Edward symbol has a lock on it, but I don't know what that means or how to unlock.

  %AppData%\microsoft\windows\sendto is the name of an environment variable.
  On XP, this variable points to C:\Documents and Settings\ < user > \Application Data\

  "Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden files, use %APPDATA%\microsoft\windows\sendto in the file name field

• Windows Explorer is adjustable to open to a specific folder in Vista?

  Hello

  Windows Explorer opens to my user folder in the C drive.

  I prefer to use the folder of the user above, immediately under the "Desktop" - can I force Explorer to open to a specific folder, IE my above user folder?

  I'm on Vista 32-bit, SP2

  TIA

  Tim

  Hi Tim,.

  To accomplish this task, you must change the Windows Explorer target area

  (a) click Start | All programs | Accessories.

  (b) right click Windows Explorer, and then click Properties.

  (c) change the path in the field target to point to the desired Windows Explorer folder to open.

  (d) click OK.

  (e) the key box is the target area. To change the shortcut to Windows Explorer to open a specific folder of your choice, enter the target as follows:

  c:\windows\EXPLORER. EXE/n, / e, X:\Folder of your choice

  This will show a folder and all subfolders under him.

  Otherwise, you can try this out for a slightly different look:

  c:\windows\EXPLORER. EXE/n, / e, / select u:\Folder of your choice

  This will show the folder and all its subfolders is collapsed.

  For more information, refer to the article below

  How to customize the Windows Explorer views in Windows XP

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/307856

  (Article applies to Windows XP, applies both to Windows Vista)

• Change the folder on Windows Explorer.

  How can I change the folder that opens at the start of the Explorer?

  Click on the round of Windows (start) > all programs > Accessories and make Windows Explorer right click > properties > Shortcut tab and change the target in a box to where you want Explorer to open, for example to open the Documents folder, type (or change) the following %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe C:\Users\your user name\Documents\ then apply, OK, etc..

• Windows Explorer expands inappropriate files, the folder that develop you to the bottom of the jump navigation pane

  When you use a left-hand Navigation pane, if there is enough of folders in the navigation pane as you have a vertical scroll bar, if you click on a folder with the mouse (to see supported in the right pane), and then expand the folder (either by clicking on the symbol + or with the arrow key) , then the left pane automatically scrolls upward as far as possible such as the folder you expanded is yet in sight at the bottom of the pane. This command deletes the folder under the mouse, where it should stay.

  This is certainly a bug, as it only happens the first time you try to extend a record of the way. After having done it once, you can scroll the navigation (left) pane so that the file in question is back in the middle of the pane, and it will expand and contract as expected, remaining under the mouse.

  Because many people seem interested in this question, I'll post some info about my recent contact with Microsoft about this issue.

  It seems that everywhere where this issue has been spoken, all someone would get to a Microsoft employee was a response to "Thank you for your comments" mat. Never the validity of the issue has been discussed or even acknowledged. I decided to write an e-mail to the responsible man, Steve Ballmer, clearly the problem with links to a procedure step by step problem, this discussion and report bug with 220 votes (at the time). I realized that Steve would never read himself, but I thought that his email should get automatically transferred to a person who can actually read.
  Two days later I received an email from a specialist in defense of Microsoft saying a "case of grace" was created and the escalation of Windows team should get in touch with me. The next day, an engineer of the climbing sent ask when would be the right time to talk about issues on the phone. So it would be quite clear with what I was talking about, I've recorded a screencast walking through that was precisely the problem.
  Edit: I made a video more condensed showing the "record jump bug", see here.
  This has resulted in our discussions:
  1. engineers are aware of this problem.
  2. they may, or may not provide a fix for it.
  Nothing revolutionary, but it's a little more push in the right direction. In my opinion, post in this thread on the problem has practically no value. I suggest you:
  1 vote upward and commenting on the bug here:
  http://connect.Microsoft.com/WindowsServerFeedback/feedback/details/621426/bug-when-expanding-folders-in-Explorer-Server-2008-R2-and-Windows-7
  He said that the site is being monitored by the dev team.
  2. writing intelligent and without rudeness complaints that mention how the bug affects negatively your workflow file management every day. Send these to the top of the food chain of Microsoft until you get an answer. You are a paying customer and you deserve to be heard.
  I'm tired of dealing with him, so now use XYplorer when you perform heavy file management. It stings to have to pay for a decent file manager, but that's life. If this question bothers you at all, please comment and vote on the bugand write an email.
  13/09/11 PATCH: Bug is still present in Windows 8 Developer Preview, see here.
  01/30/12 UPDATE: Finally, we have a public recognition that this is actually a bug that needs to be addressed, and it will be apparently fixed in Windows 8 beta coming. It's good news, but I know I'll use Win7 for at least a year or two, as will be much, much more. We deserve a patch for this problem in Win7. Until that happens, keep Microsoft listening to this topic.
  FINAL THOUGHTS: It is a real bug with 645
  ! votes on their feedback page, however MS didn't intend to fix for Windows 7 users. The bug is fixed in Windows 8, which means nothing to many of us who do not intend to upgrade. If this bug really gets under the skin, I suggest to install the classic interface, which has been recommended several times in this thread. You can choose to install only the feature "Classic Explorer" which corrects this bug among others and even remember the old UI for copy of file which is so nice to have in return. I used it for many months now without worries.

• Explorer Windows moves the folder selected to the bottom of the folder list. How can I stop this?

  THIS ISSUE DOESN'T HAVE AN ANSWER.    I DID NOT MARK ANY RESPONSE AS SUCH.

  ATTENTION TO THE RESPONSE MODERATOR ABUSE!

  Open windows Explorer
  view folders on the left
  Double-click computer
  Double-click the C drive
  Scroll down to windows Double click

  Double click on diagnostics (example)

  Now, the folder is moved to the bottom of the folder list.

  This also occurs when you click on any folder and you click once on the open gadget.

  It is increadably boring.  How can I stop it?

  Hi j1234567890j - and everyone else that repsonded to the post.

  I also have expierence this problem and as with all those who have responded to this post one lot others that makes me crazy. To make things worse, this problem manifests itself also on open or save file dialog boxes in any application that relies on the Windows file dialog.

  In my case, I also found that the behavior is inconsistent. Sometimes the problem, and sometimes it isn't. -C' is why it is difficult to focus on the behavior and some people are unable to reproduce the problem. So, I think other answers on different computers where this problem cannot be replicated. As a developer, I understand that, since we often have the answer: "...". but it works in my computer... "- and yes it does, because usually a machine of dev/support is implemented for ideal circumstances. I digress...

  Trying to figure out the problem

  I noticed a pattern, however. I found that if I have the folder in question the collapse and redevelop (double click), the browser moves again, this time exposing all the subfolders that are direct descendants of the record in question. I also noticed that if subfolders are too many to display them in the navigation pane, the selected folder is scrolled to the top of the Panel, expose as many records which can be consulted.

  I think the intention of the browsing behavior, it is that when the user develops the folder, it will show as much as possible under folders in view - but I also think it is where there is a bug - or at least where some other parameter has an impact on behaviour. -For some reason, when a folder is expanded the navigation pane only finds the first subfolder and that one--exposes so boring movement of the folder selected from the current position of the mouse pointer.

  Find an answer

  And yes - even if I think that I understand the problem - I agree with everybody elses user experience - this needs to be fixed!

  I'm not sure that a moderator will pick up what this message is marked as awnsered - even if it isn't in my opnion.

  But if someone the fact: I think that provide an option on the general tab of the Folder Options dialog box, a user can turn off this behavior and expand just the folder without attempting to present all folders visible in the navigation pane.
