    File Explorer not displaying left panel, and folders take me to other places.


    Today I had a problem, when I opened a folder from my desktop it didn't take me to that folder, it took me to the desktop folder. And the left panel wasn't showing, even when I activated the option. I think it was QTTaBar, but it is really useful and I don't really want to eliminate it if I don't need to.

    :)

    I have added the file count column to my folder in File Explorer. However, the actual file count is not displaying.

    Hi Loren,

    I appreciate if you could answer a
    few questions to narrow down the issue and to provide you better assistance.

    • How did you added file count column for folders in File Explorer? What are the steps did you followed?
    • When you say, "actual file count is not displaying" is this issue specific to any folder or happening with all folders?
    • Have you installed any third party anti-virus on your system?
    Meanwhile, I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if this helps.

    • Open File Explorer.
    • Click on View from navigation pane and choose Detail pane.
    Write to us with the above information and status of the issue to assist you further.

    Thank You.

    File names in Left Panel of File Explorer


    A brief apology: I'm probably too old to mess with this stuff (pulling 80,) but I like to try. Please be patient with me, and ask for details if I am not stating my problem clearly. I have searched, but could not find this problem already discussed in this forum.
    I just installed Windows 10. Not sure if I like it, but I'm trying hard.
    Problem: When I go to File Explorer, in the left panel, when I click on a folder name, the contents of that folder (both sub-folders and files) show in the right panel.
    In the left panel, when I click on ">" beside a folder name, it will expand in the left panel showing the sub-folders, but not "loose files".
    I could have sworn that in earlier versions of Windows the files also showed.
    Is there a option setting somewhere to change this behavior and to show the files also in the left panel?

    Thanks!
