Windows folders does not open

Today, 11 September 2013, I just installed upgrading critical windows but two problems occurred.

First of all, I (and many others, according to this site) continue receiving messages there are updates available, even if I keep them up to date. Have you tried to disable the firewall, did the analysis of security etc, I get this message.

Secondly, since the update none of the windows folders opens, although make files. When I right click a folder, the option above is now 'cmd' since the update of Windows, whereas before it was 'open' which would obviously be the folder by clicking on the left. I remember solve this a few years using regedit but can not remember how I did it. I also tried to schedule a scan of the drive using tools, but this has no effect.

Thanks for any help.

Try what I talked about earlier.

Take a look at the cue 'File' here.  I bet it works for Windows 8, but by creating a system restore point is additional insurance before you try it.

  • Windows 7 does not open the windows in the taskbar. The content seems to be displayed off the screen

    Windows 7 does not open the windows in the taskbar. The content seems to be displayed off the screen. It started after the uninstall of Registry Mechanic and PC Tools, but this cannot be bound. IE 9 seems to be particularly affected. So do not display all of the windows that show on the taskbar.

    Use the Windows logo key & left arrow several times for each windows application through their positions until they appear on the screen.

    This problem is normally reported after someone used an external monitor as the applications try to open in the same position they had when they were last open - so if there was an external monitor last time now disconnected, they will try to open it in the middle of nowhere.

    I know not, or the other tools that you mention, but if they are registry cleaners then they could also affect other parts of your system.

  • Windows store does not open (windows 8)

    So I've recently refreshed my laptop running Windows 8.1 and after refresh, he returned to windows 8. But now all gone metro apps and windows store does not open. When I click it, nothing happens.

    I tried various fixes, nothing worked! Help, please! My main concern is to upgrade to windows 10!  Right now I'm stuck with windows 8

    IM using the HP envy m6 laptop.

    Hi Alain,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    When you do a Refresh: Applications that you have installed Web sites and DVD is deleted. The applications provided with your PC and applications that you have installed in the Windows store will be resettled. Windows puts a list of apps removed on your desktop after you refresh your PC.

    Because you want to upgrade to Windows 10, first, you need to update to Windows 8.1 of Windows 8 and then you can switch to Windows 10 Windows 8.1.

    Please refer to: Update Windows 8.1 of Windows 8

    Once you have updated Windows 8 to 8.1 Windows, please see the following article in order to upgrade to Windows 10 Windows 8.1.

  • Windows Defender does not open on my computer. Get the error. '0 x 800700006 initialization failed. The handle is invalid. "How can I fix it?

    My computer has been infected by the virus Happili and I would like to run Windows Defender to drink, that it does not open. I get the above error message. How can I trouble Defender or get rid of the virus. No scanning seems to be virus.

    Hello

    Read the information that you do not say what Antivirus you use, which can also be the cause of the problem with Windows defender.

    And also the scan with Malwarebytes AntiMalware; link to information and download here:

    Download, install, update and scan your system with the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware in Mode safe mode with networking:

    http://www.Malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free

    And here's how to go in Safe Mode options; Select safe mode with networking from the list of options:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

    There is nothing to worry.

    Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

    If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually activate new Windows (do not take into account information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):

    "Go to start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Look for Windows Defender.

    Right click and select Properties , ensure that Startup Type is automatic.

    Once modified, click apply and OK.

    Quit and restart your computer. Check the back take the same path to confirm that Windows Defender has started"

    And for now, change startup Vista programs without using Defender, use one of these methods:

  • After installing the Windows SP3 does not open.

    I have a laptop Sony Vio running Windows XP Home Edition. Last week I tried to update from SP2 to SP3. After about 2 hours, it was at the point of file cleanup. After a time to shout a message came uo 'Please Wait'. I waited all night, and the message was always there in the morning. I restarted the computer and now Windows wilol is not open. He turns the splash screen and then the screen turns blank ever opening in the icon screen. When I try to start safe mode it runs a number of lines if information and where he had reached the end of one line info nothing happens. I tried to boot in a security 3 with the same resunts mode. Tried running in the final Condition to work with the same results - Windows startup screen runs then screen turns white and screen icon never opens. I have makes the system, Application and Driver Recovery CD. That SP3 could have done to create this condition? No idea how to fix ths situation without losing me any files - images Woed docs etc.? Any help would be greatly appreicated.

    At this point, your main goal should be to backup all your files from user data that you can from your [no bootable] machine.  I find that a good way to do it is to this is to use another machine to create free Linux Livecd such as Knoppix or Ubuntu (if you use Ubuntu, do not install but use instead "Try Me").  You do this by downloading an .iso file and then use the "burn image" of your program of CD burning to create the bootable CD/DVD.  You can now start your laptop from this CD and Linux will allow that access you your hard disk without disturbing anything on this subject.  You can then copy off and back up your data on a USB stick or a network drive files.

    Once your files are safely backed up, you can then reinstall Windows using the recovery disks you have.

    Knoppix: http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html>
    Ubuntu: <> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download >

    Recovery CD Windows are also a possibility but more effort involved to create the CD.  Such a disc is "BartPE".

    The rest of the screen is empty except for a message:

    Windows Mail could not open this folder.

    Possible Casuses are:

  • I uninstalled and reinstalled and Firefox for windows 7 does not open. There is no error message - it just does not, even in safe mode. What should I do?

    My computer is set to the automatic update in Windows 7 Home Premium and Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010. I am also running Norton 360. There was a major update for the office on 10-12-14, which seems to be at the start of my problems. This month, whenever my updates caused a restart, Mozilla has failed to open. I uninstalled and reinstalled several times, and it lasted only a day or two before it crashes again. This last time it is still not open. All instructions to solve problems appear to be based on the idea that the program is open and just questions. I can't even open it in Mode without failure.

    I tried to reinstall, and it says it will launch automatically when the installation is complete, but it does not work. As Norton scan every download before it works, I am not sure if this is the problem since I never get the window that indicates the setup step by step for Firefox.

    What should I do?

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. A clean reinstall is not the same as a regular resettlement performed using built-in installer. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from mozilla.org office (or choose the download for your operating system and language on this page) and save the file to install it on your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (or open the Firefox menu

      Click the close button

      ).

    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

    More information on the resettlement of Firefox can be found here.

    WARNING: Do not use an uninstaller to third parties as part of this process. This could permanently delete your Firefox profile data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and passwords saved. They can be retrieved easily unless they have been backed up on an external device! See back up and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox.

    Please report to say if this helped you!

    Thank you.
