Windows XP - last update affected 'see' in windows Explorer - half files are now in 'blue' - VERY distracting!

HI - after a recent update, whenever I go to windows Explorer to browse the files or search for a particular file, I now a multicolored fonts for different files (some are in black) and some are blue.

This is so embarrassing, I can't find the files I need.

Does anyone know how to disable this 'feature' so that all the files and folders use the same font color "black"?

    Hi Don,

    Thanks for the reply.

    To resolve the problem with the preview pane, you can try these methods.

    Method 1:

    I suggest you scan the computer to verify that there is no infection by the virus, using the Microsoft Safety Scanner.

    Microsoft safety scanner will help us to get rid of software viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note:

    1) the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    2) if you run the virus scan of the program which is infected with the virus will be deleted. Therefore, reinstall the program. Also, if files and folders are affected by the virus, while they might even get deleted.

    Method 2:
    If the problem persists, I would say allowing you to run the auditor of file system (CFS) analyze and check if it helps.

  • 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.

  • WINDOWS EXPLORER COMPATIBILITY FILES

    WINDOWS VISTA: I downloaded files in a new folder in windows Explorer.   Later when I went to look at the files, they weren't there, I had to click on a button that says "compatibility files" then I could see them.

    Is it possible that the default view can be set to automatically considers the compatibility files?

    Hi TURNERMJJM,

     

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

    When you use an application for which virtualization is enabled, you create data files in virtualisables file system locations. When you use another application or Windows Explorer to access these newly created files, you cannot find them. For example, if you save a file in an application in the %ProgramFiles%, %any, % lecteur_systeme % or % programdata % photo editing files, you do not find this file.

    To resolve this problem, use one of the following methods:

    • Click the compatibility files button that appears in the Explorer bar to view files virtualized folder. The compatibility files button appears only if the virtualized files in the folder.
    • Look in the folder of \AppData\Local\VirtualStore C:\Users\User_nameto locate files and folders.
    • Save your application data in a folder under your user profile.

  • Problems with Windows Explorer and files?

    FYI, I'm running 7 64 x SP1, I have Avast! antivirus and malwarebytes and CCleaner and aswMBR rootkit scanner.

    Yesterday, I left my computer while doing research for a bite to eat and I came back and this error box titled "CScript.exe" Application error "and in the box, he said that the program could not start and press OK to close the program. It was the first time I saw this error, so I clicked on OK and didn't think much, until I went to research and decided to run a full on Avast scan and no viruses were found, so I decided to use malwarebytes to check and when I went to open it (it is in my Start menu... don't use it very often) he wouldn't run and all of a sudden I had this error as Explorer windows stopped working, he was checking for a solution, and it restarted itself. I thought it was weird, so I tried to run windows Defender got the exact same result - Defender would not and open windows Explorer stopped and restarted itself. I'm so gone to CCleaner (which surprisingly open upwards) to see if my registry was somehow screwed up, analyses to find errors and there was none. I checked the programs installed through CCleaner to see if maybe there is a program that appears as if by magic, and it was not all. So I ran my rootkit scanner and it wasn't rootkits but I saved the log file on my desktop and it does not open. Does not open the Task Manager, command prompt does not open, the center of the action does not open... nothing beneficial opens. While doing all this, the error "CScript.exe" jumped to the top about 3 or 4 times just randomly. I don't know what happened to the drive that is used to repair/reinstall windows, so it's a little out of the question. I considered to start Windows in safe mode and backup on a restore point, but have not yet tried. Any suggestions?

    Good, well * seems * after booting in normal mode, the problem is resolved. exp works normally now, but let's see whether it is temporary or not.

  • Whenever I try to search in Windows Explorer, the files listed do not have the requested content.

    Hello.

    One of my end-users using Windows search in Explorer to search for a particular value (> 8).  Once the search is complete, several files are listed, but when it opens in Word 2010 and looks exactly the same value, it is said that the value is found.  Why the world is happening?  What research watch hidden in files, or only the visible content attributes?
    Thank you.

    The content property is not available on the upper level, less than, or other symbols comparative.  You can only search for characters.    And if you try to find the real character > itself, which does not work well.  The only non-alphanumeric characters that are available are ____, /, and -(I have tested the symbols on the keyboard).

    Update: I have found since the other characters are available, using a special syntax.  For example:

    content: ~ = "> 8"

    Who would find files that contain characters specific > 8 anywhere, as long as they are together in this order.

    [Update: apparently special search symbols such as ~ = do not work with the content when property indexed research places, but work during the search in unindexed locations.]

    And another thing, simply chokes Windows 7 Search on the search for Word files when these same Word files are open, especially if they are in a folder with a large number of files, if I remember that well.

    This seems to have started randomly out of the blue and it's quite annoying. When you work with folders, I end up having a bunch of files that need to be closed and I usually don't want to close all; I usually have to sort numeorus files open to find what I'm looking for, as opposed to easily using the back button to return to a folder I want. I have not downloaded programs.

    -I went to control panel, then programs, then display the updates installed and then uninstalled IE from here

    I looked everywhere on the internet, but I can't talk about what most of these solutions. Some people are proposing the deletion of the registry files. I know that these files are really important and I don't want to delete anything and cause a big problem for me.
