Windows 10: Windows Explorer / File Explorer in Windows 10 Drag and Drop issues.

Under 'This PC' I get the standard list in the Navigation plane of Desktop, Documents, etc. and then a couple of folders mapping to NAS drives, then Music, Pictures, then Physical drives on the PC then finally a Mapped Drive on a server.


The issue is I don't always have the NAS drives running, but when dragging and dropping a file/folder to either an physical drive/ the desktop, to another open folder or where ever if the cursor passes over the NAS drives/folders in the navigation plane then Windows Explorer as it is still named in task manager hangs as not responding for several minutes.


Is there any setting which allows me to avoid this oh I must connect to the NAS, oh it's not responding, let me just hold everything while I retry for a while issue.


IF I was intentionally dropping to the files/folder to those drives I get it, but just passing over them on the way to the correct place and not letting go of the left button in the process, is very, very annoying.


Ideally a setting for a delay before attempting to connect to those drives, or ignoring the fact I haven't 'dropped' the file/folders to them is what is needed.

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

Windows Explorer Replacement?

I don't use Internet Explorer, I meant the thing where you can look at files etc. Hotkey Windows+E. Maybe it's the wrong name in english though. *Stick Out Tongue

 

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!?).
