  1. Windows seems to be caching an old profile picture somewhere and I can't figure out how to...


    A while ago I went to account.microsoft.com and removed my profile picture. So now just about everywhere across Windows it's this default one. I just noticed that the old one still shows up in this account picker though, and it also shows up in the new Edge for some reason. I suspect it's cached somewhere although I'm not sure where...I've already deleted it from %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\AccountPictures and I'm not aware of any other locations it could be located in. Any ideas?

    Thanks Windows seems to be caching an old profile picture somewhere and I can't figure out how to... :)

  2. I can't figure this out?

    I have three folders, in this order. Movies - Videos - Pictures. Movies and Pictures, display a list. But, the Videos folder,

    has a a problem . . . When I open the Videos folder, the list is there, but the list has lines separating the video files,

    with, this week, last month, yesterday, recent, etc . . .

    What I want is just a list, without the lines . . . I went to view, tried small icons, large icons? But the separating lines are

    still there? I'm a real geek, but I can't figure this one out ? Ha . . . I'll be watching this Forum and hope someone, anyone

    will have the instructions, on how I can get rid of those lines . . . Thanks for reading this posting . . .

    Clear the 'cache' in file explorer for already used picture tags?


    If you set some tags for your *.jpg pictures, the windows 10 file explorer shows them in the "details pane" on the right side.

    This list can get very long and with some wrong or no longer used entries.
    How can I clear this list / cache / suggestions?

    Or how can I stop the file explorer to suggests already used Tags?
