    what happened to windows explorer


    What happened to Windows explorer. I guess an update changed it to "file explorer" which I find useless. The old explorer showed me my complete file structure including drives, network, etc. File explorer has none of this. Csn I uninstall some update to get windows explorer back. File explorer is useless.

    :)

    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

    Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?

    what happened to windows explorer wie1.png


    Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).

    Windows Explorer creates "drive" inside a drive, this has never happened before: So whenever I plug every drive on my Windows 10 PC, it creates a drive inside the drive folder. I don't know how to explain it better, but apparently this PC affected any external USB drive that I plug into. This problem don't occur on my other Windows 10 laptop when I plug...
