    After dragging a file to a folder I ALWAYS then have to scroll up to the top of the folder


    This issue is driving me nuts.I am copying a file into a folder, whose files are sorted with the newest at the top.I copy by CRTL-drag/drop. The source & target folders are in detailed list view mode.When I drop the file into the folder, it gets "dropped" at the bottom of the folder - wherever I try to drop it. In other words, Windows automatically scrolls me to the bottom of the folder and drops the file there.The file then immediately gets re-located at the top of the folder - as it's always the newest or nearly the newest file.HOWEVER, the folder view stays where it was - i.e. scrolle

    ?? How do I PW protect Folders in windows

    hmmm?
    Sharing files and folders overview You can share the files and folders stored on your computer, on a network, and on the Web. The method you choose depends on whom you want to share files with, and what computer they will use to access the files.

    When you share files or folders, they are not as protected as they are when you do not share them. People with access to your computer or your network might be able to read, copy, or change files that are in a shared folder. You should always be aware that the files and folders that you share are available to other people and be sure to monitor your shared files and folders on a regular basis.

    Important

    If your computer is not joined to a domain, you can use the Network Setup Wizard to automatically turn file and printer sharing on or off. To start the Network Setup Wizard, click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Network Setup Wizard.
    If you both use the same computer

    You can put the files you want to share in the Shared Documents folder. Files stored in the Shared Documents folder or its subfolders are always available to other users on your computer.

    Step-by-step procedure
    Note

    If you are connected to a network domain, the Shared Documents, Shared Pictures, and Shared Music folders are not available.
    If both computers are on the same network

    You can share a folder or drive on your computer with others on the network. You can also control whether the files in the shared folder can be modified by other users.

    If your computer is connected to a network domain, use this procedure:

    Step-by-step procedure
    If your computer is connected to a workgroup, use this procedure:

    Step-by-step procedure
    Note

    If you are connected to a network domain, you will need to set the Access control for the folder or drive after sharing it. For more information, go to To set, view, change, or remove file and folder permissions.
    If you want to share your files online

    You can publish pictures and documents on the Web using the Web Publishing Wizard. The files will be stored in a private, online folder that you manage.

    Step-by-step procedure

    If you don't want others to access your files

    You can prevent other users from accessing your folders and the files they contain. When your computer is connected to a domain, this is called setting permissions for your file or folder. When your computer is connected to a workgroup, this is called making your folders private.

    If your computer is connected to a network domain, use this procedure:

    Step-by-step procedure
    If your computer is connected to a workgroup, use this procedure:

    Step-by-step procedure

  3. Scrolling down pictures in a file / folder - scroll automatically goes to top

    I have upgraded to windows 10 yesterday (12 Sep 15).

    I have document and picture file / folders in F drive. In picture file / folder I store pictures from my DSLR. After I scroll down the pictures, the scroll comes to top automatically after few seconds. This problem also happens with another file / folder
    on this drive with only word, pdf, XL documents.

    This problem does not happen if the folder contents is in list mode

    Any help advice is welcome. Thanks in advance

    Ways to Drag Files or Folders

    Summary:

    This article covers ways to drag files or folders while working on File Explorer.

    Here's a list of ways to copy, move, or create shortcuts:

    CTRL while dragging a file - Copy a file to another drive or folder. *

    SHIFT while dragging a file - Move a file to another drive. **

    ALT while dragging a file - Create a shortcut to a file on the desktop or another location.

    *: You can also drag a file or folder to another drive, which means copying.

    **: If moving a file or folder to another folder on the same drive, you don't need to hold SHIFT while dragging a file or folder.

    TIP: If you use your right mouse button to drag a file or folder to another folder or desktop and release it, you will get three options: Copy Here, Move Here, and Create Shortcut(s) Here.
