I find the list contains so many items I never use. I would like to either sort the list or remove items su8ch that some of the hidden items, such as the often-used Delete option will be visible without my having to click on the arrow at the bottom. I tried ShellMenuView, ShellExView, and...

I am running Intel HD Graphics with ver. 10.18.10.4358 on Windows 10 Pro 22H2. I used to have a brightness slider before, but lately, it has disappeared. I have tried everything, to no avail. When I went to Notifications and Actions, I saw nothing in there to do with displays. Help said...

I am sorry to say none of those worked. Finally, I had to replace the files with older versions from backups. I will never use the garbage Windows encryption system again. I still do not know why it never asked me for a password when I set it up, or thereafter. Almost made me want to move to a...

I tried 1, 2, 3, and 4. No luck. I see that the parent folder in which all these files are has the option, "Encrypt contents to secure data" is UNchecked. However, the files within the folder all have that option checked. When I uncheck the option for each individual file, the check mark...

Thanks for your quick, helpful responses. I am very grateful. You were right on #2. I followed #2 and was surprised that when I went into Advanced Properties, the file showed as STILL being encrypted, as there was a check mark next to "Encrypt contents...". So, evidently, the files did not get...

Thank you. I tried step 2, and it seemed to have done something as I saw it scrolling down through all the file names and told me there were no errors. But I still cannot open any files. I do have administrator access on the machine. Can you please give me a step by step instruction on how to...

I had encrypted a folder that is on a USB external drive (not a thumb drive). When I encrypted the folder, it never asked me to configure a password. However, the encryption seems to have worked as there was a lock. Now, when I decrypted the folder, it did go through the visible motions, and the...

I have been using my two monitors for ages. I happen to turn the PC off nightly. But since recently, AT RANDOM, my main monitor does not display anything, but the right one will. If I reboot, all is well. But, only once in a while this happens. So far, every time, it has been the left monitor...

What happens if it is disabled? I have a perfectly working Acronis backup image of the entire drive, so do I need WRE at all? I love it that I can simply go back to all my updates, apps, and preferences reinstalled with my image. I am using Windows 10.

Thank you, GPT. I had tried those things already. No dice. So, I slashed and burned in a fit of rage - I formatted the drive. :)

There is a folder on the root of my external drive with three dots as the name which suddenly appeared mysteriously on my external drive this morning. This folder is on the root of my external drive, E:. I don't want t delete it unless I know its contents. I tried to move it and it said it was...

Thank you for these great instructions and lightning fast reply. I got it working. I had done all the steps you have mentioned, but left out a crucial step - I did not have "Everyone" under Security, which I thought I had added. Once I added it, I'm rocking. Cheers.

Using Windows 10 on both PC and laptop each with a logical D: drive. I can ping each other as they are both on the same Ethernet connection. I can also see the contents of the PC's D: drive from the laptop. However, I am unable to see the contents of the laptop's D: drive from the PC. I do see...

Every time I try to copy "You'll need to provide administrator permission to copy this file " I am trying to copy large .TIB files image files from my C: drive to an external drive connected directly to the PC. I AM admin on this computer but am not using the Administrator account. The actual...
