    File explorer not showing my user


    So when I look in C:\Users, there's default, public, and my other account, just not my own. When I go in the search bar and manually type the name of my own account, it shows up like normal. Is there a way to fix this? I also have show hidden icons on.

    :)

  3. File Explorer toolbar

    Hi,

    In Windows 10, Details pane allows the user to view the details of a file in File Explorer. However, it only allow users to modify the Date taken information of the file. If you want to modify other settings of a file, you can right-click on it and then
    choose Properties.

    To be able to view the Details pane in File Explorer, follow these steps:

    • Open File Explorer.
    • Click on View tab.
    • Select Details pane. It will show at the right side of the File Explorer window.

    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?
