Windows 10: Finding the .PNG files with different pixels in file explorer

hello,

when you make a .png file filled with white pixels and transparent pixels, save it in a folder and look at the folder in the File Explorer, you get your .png file with black pixels instead of transparent pixels, and that's good.

Now if you replace all white pixels with black pixels, file explorer will set the background (so, transparency pixels) to white for a better view.

But since I added both white .png files and black .png files, the background is always set to black and it became impossible to see black pictures.. event after removing all white files, the background won't set to white.


I since had some problems with my hard drive and had to buy one and reinstall W10 (the .png files are on OneDrive) but File explorer still shows .png files with a black background after reinstallation so maybe the prob is persistant? please help me setting the background to white of anything else that can let me see the pictures without having to open them.

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?

 

Windows Explorer crashing due to large files

It's an .exe right? Explorer probably read its icon (to a cache) when it was a "small" file and now call the quits when it finds "such a big" file.

If you want to delete it, use the console after killing explorer, you can run the console from TaskManager (Application -> New Task -> cmd). You might want to try copy the file to a different location (copy, not cut) and see if explorer can handle it in the new location before deleting it.

 

Finding duplicate files

Hey hey,

During the years the backups have just accumulated in random places, essentially, and I would like to clean up. Is there a program that can search for duplicate files? And by that I mean identical files. I tried dupeGuru, but that somehow found ... all files to be identical I guess? Like how a bunch of jpg's with different names, sizes and locations being marked 100% identical, or how a bunch of xls-files with completely different everything also were 100% matches with each other. I don't need any fancy functions, just a list of the files that share the name and filesize and created/last write dates.
