  1. Windows Explorer Problem


    Windows Explorer Problem [​IMG]

    Windows Explorer keeps unresponding to its icon in Taskbar.
    I open WinExpl and it works fine. Then I switch to, say, Google Chrome and that works fine too.
    When I want to return to WinExpl, I click its icon in the taskbar but WinExpl will not maximize. It does not matter which other program I have been using, WinExpl simply does not open; I have to close it and open it again.
    I read here and there that I am not the only one suffering from this malady but I have not found a single solution. I writing here hoping someone else has experienced the phenomenon and could possibly help me solve the problem.
    Thanks to one and all in advance.

    :)

    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 crashes and thumbnails problem

    Hi, I hope you can help me.
    Windows Explorer is no longer showing thumbnails on files played by Windows Media Player. I've run cmd and regsvr32 shmedia.dll and regsvr32 shimgvw.dll. That seemed to solve the problem...but it created a different one. Now when I try to open a folder on an external hard drive it crashes. I read in an old 2008 post it was an avi file causing the problem and suggested the run cmd regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll. That solved the opening problem but recreated the thumbnail problem. Any help to achieve both functions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  5. Did File Explorer get nerfed or am I having a problem with my computer?

    in Windows 10 Gaming
    Did File Explorer get nerfed or am I having a problem with my computer?: Sometime in the last month or two, File Explorer in Win 11 went from auto sorting as you made changes to files in a window, to only properly sorting the window if you leave it and then return. Another changed seems to be that you no longer can use the path bar to move files...
