    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

    How to prevent windows explorer opening all windows in different size and place?

    Windows Explorer

    I have Windows 7. Every time I try to open up my external HD the Windows Explorer quits working. I researched a little at this forum and "Wile E" had said

    It's AVI files causing the problem. It happens when explorer tries to preview them. You can shut off previewing, and it goes away.

    Open a run box, and type this:

    regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll

    It will prevent Explorer from trying to preview video files.

    The post was 5 years old. Does anyone know what command I would give to to shut off previewing? Thankyou
