  1. .png files in file explorer on W10


    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.

    :)

  2. File explorer

    Hi Mick,

    I am sorry to know that the File Explorer is not working on the Taskbar.

    I suggest you to right-click on it to unpin it from the task bar.

    Then search for File Explorer in Search. Then right-click on it to Pin it to Taskbar.

    If the issue persists, try the steps below.


    • Type CMD in Search. Right click on it to run as an administrator.

    • Type the following 4 commands at the Command prompt:
    dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

    sfc /scannow

    powershell

    Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}


    • Close the CMD window.

    • Check to see if the issue is resolved. If not, restart the PC.
    Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.

    .png files in file explorer on W10

    Some files listed in Windows Explorer are blue font

    I seem to have run out of room on a Windows XP Pro system. I tried to defrag but don't have but 7% room available. I looked in Windows Explorer to try to find some huge files that might be corrupt and I see a few that are listed in blue. What does that mean? I have not compressed anything on purpose. Thanks
