  1. Trying to find documentation for the address bar in the windows file explorer


    The windows file explorer has a feature that if you type in a program followed by a colon such as

    spotify:

    It will launch the app.

    I am interested in how this colon can pass data to the application since you can tag on a Spotify URI to it

    spotify:track:48q11vTdgDhiESkhgZ7hoG

    It will start the app up on the track.

    The same thing happens when you paste the URI into the address bar in your browser.

    The only information I have found on this is a couple of tech articles showing this feature off

    Cannot find Desktop Icon in File Explorer

    Now that is interesting. If I do what you suggest, File Explorer Address bar changes to C:\Users\username\documents and the missing ICONS are there. But there is still not a "Desktop" folder.

    Is this a step in the right direction?

    Some files listed in Windows Explorer are blue font

    I seem to have run out of room on a Windows XP Pro system. I tried to defrag but don't have but 7% room available. I looked in Windows Explorer to try to find some huge files that might be corrupt and I see a few that are listed in blue. What does that mean? I have not compressed anything on purpose. Thanks
