• Windows Explorer: Number of files does not appear in the detailed view

  I want to display the number of files in a folder without right-clicking and selecting Properties.

• Windows 7 / Windows Explorer - change the file names to have all lowercase letters

  I save files with uppercase letters in the name of the file.  Since going to Windows 7, it seems that Windows Explorer continues to change the names of files to have all lowercase letters.  Is there a setting that will allow me to record names of files with upper and lower case letters without exploring automatically change them?

  Hi LeslieWeber,

  -How long have you had this problem?

  -What software changes you did on the computer before the show?

  Follow these steps and see if the problem persists:

  Step 1:

   

  Create a new user account and check if the problem is recurring in the newly created account.

  Step 2:

  If the problem does not persist in the new user account, it could indicate that your old user account is corrupted.

• Windows XP - Windows Explorer search the files hyperlink text

  Navigation in the site of MS is rather hard to find where I have to post my question.  Please move it to the correct location. (Thank you)

  I have a directory with some 400 documents (Word, PDF, PowerPoint, Excel, etc.) I want to search for "a word or a phase in the file" via Windows XP ' windows Explorer.

  Here's the question...

  The text I'm looking for is in a hyperlink (i.e. to search for "docushare' in my files, but there is a link that looks like THIS); the research within a file does not see the content of the link.

  My goal is to identify all documents in a directory that have a link to Docushare (for example).

  Thanks in advance.

  Same error as I face before but I have a solution in this forum, but now I could not someone help please.

  I know its something like that when Explorer attempt to generate the preview of this video file, then it happened.

  It is indeed a problem with the preview generator.  It relies on any installed video codecs installed on your system to process video images and build a miniature.  If you have recently installed a video or multimedia software, you can try to uninstall it, or by using the system restore to roll back.

  Similarly, you can try to install different software.  The K-Lite Mega Codec pack has been around for a while and is quite popular.  After you install, your system can play almost any file (sweet bonus tip: media player uses codecs found so: after installing it, you can even play Real Audio or QuickTime files inside Windows Media Player).

• future WINDOWS suggestion: spread of file attribute

  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  CONDUCT CURRENT using MS Windows 7
  (and I remember all the earlier versions of Windows)
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  In Windows Explorer, suppose I created a folder anywhere in the hierarchy of a given disc * for all columns (name, date modified, type, size, creation date, etc) I want, in the order you want from left to right, with the width desired for each column and select the column in which I want content sorted by.

  Right now, the way to propagate the look-and-feel of this one file to a plethora of other records is not intuitive.

  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  BEHAVIOR expresses its HOPE for FUTURE MS Windows versions
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  We would like to be able to click anywhere in the content window, and then select an action is:

  For all of the subfolders under this folder (parent), as the name/order/width/sorting of columns identical to the settings here.
  For all other folders on that drive (C:\), that name/order/width/sorting of columns identical to the settings here.

  * This suggestion probably applies to just recorders (i.e., FloppyDrive, SolidStateDrive, HDD, USB sticks), but NOT of ROM (read-only CD or DVD) drives

• 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.
  In addition, for those of you who think that they find a solution to this problem by changing just a few parameters options somewhere... Thank you for your desire to help each of us, but you do not have the same problem and please do not post here your 'solution '. If you read some of the 29 pages of this thread, you will see that all the imaginable solutions has been suggested. There is a bug in the browser itself. If you are using Windows 7 and plan to continue using it, your options are 1) use the classic interface, or 2) use a third-party files, such as XYplorermanagement tool. If you stumble across this thread because you noticed this bug, please vote for the bugand make 1 or 2.

  Hello

  Run the sfc/scannow command.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

  Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms,Accessories, right-clickguest, and then clickrun as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or clickallow.
  2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
     sfc/scannow

     The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions

• French names for applications 'Windows Explorer' and 'File Explorer '?

  I'm updating documentation and noticed that "Windows Explorer" (win7) and 'File Explorer' (win8) are mentioned in the French translations.

  When you use the french language pack, these applications use the English names, or is there the French names for them?
  Thank you.

  Hey,.

  -Are what documents you referring? Personal work or associated Windows?

  -What version of Windows is installed on your computer? Is - this Windows 7 or Windows 8?

  If you have installed the French language pack, then some of the applications (Windows 8) will be displayed with the french names and rest will appear in English because the version of Windows installed on the computer will be in English. If you have installed the version French of Windows, then the interface of Windows will be in french, and if you add an English language pack, then some of the apps will appear in English.

  So, if you don't want the french names on applications, then please check the language packs installed (and the current language pack used) and change it to English.

• e250v2 Playlist file missing in Windows Explorer

  I didn't exaclty know how it happened. I enjoyed my e250v2 much. I create playlists on WMP 11.0.5721.5260 and sync them with my sansa and everything works fine.

  Suddenly, the drive letter has changed, and the small logo of device Sansa is missing when I use Windows Explorer to access files on my Sansa. The file seems / is different. There is no playlist file at all. However, when you use the camera itself, there is a playlist in the playlist file. I have manually all the music files from the sansa itself, but a "playlist" of delelted is always in the "playlist" folder which is always there.

  Also, when I sync a new reading list for the sansa now, the music files are present in the folder "music", but there is no "reading list" in the playlist folder (other than the above mentioned empty playlist.

  Help, please!

  According to my sansa, I have the V03.01.16A version.

  Thank you.

  What USB setting you normally use? If your drive is on Auto Detect, it means he was able to connect in the MTP or MSC mode. If it is passed it could account for the different 'look'.

  Try to switch between the 2 modes and see if things return to normal.

  Better manually the value to be one or the other and say - considers the parameter "default".

• 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:

• How can I remove topic of file Type in Windows Explorer?

  How can I get the title of 'Type' of the track without having to move out of the site whenever I have access to a folder?  I can see the file simply type by looking at the extension of file and/or icon, in order to have a column dedicated to tell us the file type is not significant and placed automatically between two useful columns is just stupid - and the user have means of obtaining useful information permanently removed ' Type' column.  STUPID!

  I already know the answer to that question is, 'it can't be done", so how can I communicate with Microsoft, who can do something, rather than be eliminated in a forum of people who all have the same question and no answer.  -Skyler

  Skyler and others are right. Users (me) need to be modify by default displays windows Explorer then this file Type is NOT DISPLAYED. This would increase my available in 5 to 10% screen space. How do us set up so that the file type is not a default column in windows Explorer?

• The Windows 7 Explorer displays the file as empty but empty folder properties is not

  Hello, I'm trying to delete empty folders from my computer. I am running Windows 7 Professional, and my user account is an administrator and the user account only on the computer.

  When I use Windows Exlporer to navigate to the folder, it seems empty: "this folder is empty". But if I navigate back to the parent and then right-click on the folder and select properties it shows: "contains: 1 file, 0 folders" or for some records: "Contains: 2 files, 0 folders. Even when I run on the DIR of CMD file.

  I have hidden files and folders checked to display and I have checked that I am the owner of the folder.

  Any ideas?

  One more step. I found another option in Windows Explorer: "Hide protected files of the operating system (recommended)". Just in case where you need help to find this option:

  1. Open Windows Explorer
  2. If not display the menu (file, edition, view, tools, help) options, click ALT
  3. Click on tools
  4. Select folder options...
  5. Click the view tab
  6. Untick: Hide the protected files (recommended) operating system

  You can now see and search for files hidden, protected from the operating systems such as Thumbs.db.

  I use fast empty folder of http://listeningpc.com Finder to find and remove empty folders.

  Hope this helps someone else.
