    Windows Explorer - Empty folder identification


    Windows Explorer - Would like to know/see if a folder is empty without having to open it, click on it, or hover over it. Perhaps a simple folder icon change from yellow to clear, black, or the like.Maybe there's a third party app. Not sure.Thanks,Rob

    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
