Windows 10: Windows 10 file caching - how to prevent it!!!!

Hi,

I assume that my windows version number is Windows 10 and not the Windows build number.....

I am just transferring stuff from my Windows 7 laptop to my new windows 10 desktop.

I have a batch file that automatically selects various directories before running a base program based upon the user input. This was giving a 'Permission Denied' error when writing the results of a copy operation to /dev/nul.

Thinking that this was the problem I removed the redirection in the batch file and run it again, with the same result and exactly the same command lines as the original. I checked the batch file in notepad and it was the one I had made the modifications to. I checked the properties of the short cut and it was pointed to the correct batch file.

I copied the batch file to another name but it retained the original lines when run. I deleted the batch file expecting a 'not found' error message but the original batch content still ran (even though when you looked in file explorer the batch file was missing).

So, this file is cached somewhere but I don't know where. Does anyone know how to clear the cache ?

Thanks and regards,

Rich

:)

 

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

Clear the 'cache' in file explorer for already used picture tags?


If you set some tags for your *.jpg pictures, the windows 10 file explorer shows them in the "details pane" on the right side.





This list can get very long and with some wrong or no longer used entries.
How can I clear this list / cache / suggestions?

Or how can I stop the file explorer to suggests already used Tags?
