Windows 10: Can't open any documents/pics/files from explorer. Explorer OK, and folders and apps open,...

Suddenly since yesterday I cannot open files from within explorer. If I right click or double click a file in explorer, all that happens is the circle goes around and around indefinitely.

:)

 

Windows Explorer crashes whenever I open my external HDD or thumb drive in explorer..

I once had that with a folder, had to do with explorer opening some video files to create thumbs.

 

How to get file explorer to open the last open folder (ie: documents) when opening?

How to get file explorer to open the last open folder (ie: documents) when opening? It always opens to the list of all folders; is there any way to have it open to the previously open folder?

Thank you! --dan

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
