Windows 10: Windows 10 Explorer not renaming folder when in search mode, but creating desktop.ini file...

When searching for folders in the explorer (Windows 10), and you rename one of the found folders in the search result, explorer will not rename the folder physicly but put a desktop.ini file in the folder with the newname as LocalizedResourceName.


Like this:

[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=<NEWNAME FOR FOLDER>

Problem is that software generates the newname as foldername to view, will not be able to find that same folder!!.
(folder is only available)


Why this beheaviour ?

"

So, I've definitely nailed it down; repeatable on all of my systems:

If you rename from the search feature in File Manager, you will not actually rename the file, but instead File Manager will generate a DESKTOP.INI and pretend to rename it.

I'm not sure if there's some common feature in all of my systems, other than the fact they all have Win 10 Pro x64 installed, and they're all up-to-date, but its obviously a glitch/weirdly intentional feature of File Manager that doesn't appear to have been a feature of File Explorer.

Temporary solution I have is to do all of my file management with a Windows 7 virtual machine running on my main machine; brutal.

Windows 10 Tweaks

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

Desktopini created instead of a folder renaming

Every time I try to rename a folder on my PC (Windows 10 Pro), instead of renaming the file, it creates a desktop.ini folder, and inside of it is the following information

[.ShellClassInfo]

LocalizedResourceName=

After LocalizedResourceName= is the name of the folder that I renamed it to. So if it was Folder1 and I rename it to Folder2, that file will say:

[.ShellClassInfo]

LocalizedResourceName=Folder2

... but the actual foldername will still be Folder1

Searching the Internet lists a bunch of random suggestions, none of which work. Anyone know why this happens? I'm pretty close to abandoning File Explorer, as it seems to be the cause of this issue.

 

Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?




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!?).
