file explorer

Hi. On my former Windows 10 system, I could open a folder and then type a letter (a,b...) to jump immediately to the first file or subfolder beginning with that letter. However, since updating to Windows 11, I can no longer do that. Nothing at all happens when I type a letter. Can anyone help me...

I am aware that you can add tags to a file by going to the file Properties > Details > Tags, but when I try to do this with files on a server the field for adding tags is not there. Is there any work around to adding tags to files on a server? Has anyone else run into this issue? Thanks! Troy

This appears when we right-click on a file. However, this right-click often takes too much time. I googled and found out Fix for Very Slow or Hang When Right Click On a File or Folder • Raymond.CC. It says I need to use ShellExView, which would allow me to delete some things that appear here...

Since I updated yesterday to this version File Explorer search does not work at all. I assume it is because you are using cortana/online/live search which I have all turned off in group policy because I do not want any search or info on my private computer going through anyone else's servers...

Shouldn't you be able to find any file on your computer "manually" by opening the folders listed in its location? For example, I just downloaded a Python interpreter. When I look at its location in its Properties, it says "C:\Users\Aaron\AppData\Local\Programs\Python," but when I try to follow...

I am using Windows 10 Enterprise. There are some basic things that I want File Explorer to show every time I open it regardless of directory or drive, such as type and size of a file. There are other things I never ever want to see but File Explorer randomly forces them on me, such as album...

Hi all, I am trying to figure out how to create a custom top-level folder in the Windows file explorer, specifically my synced Google Drive folder. How can I do this? I'm familiar with working inside of regedit if necessary, but if there is a simpler solution it's preferred. Please see an image...

Hi all, I am really hoping you can help me as I am so close to ripping my hair out! I have searched on google and my issue seems to be a little different to others... I am getting these four errors messages below: The Recycle Bin on \\SERVER\~ is corrupt. Do you want to empty the recycle bin...

Recently my Windows UI has been glitching out. For instance, when I'm in file explorer, the assets will duplicate themselves and spread all over the screen making a hardly usable mess. I have low disc space on my C: drive right now so that might be the cause but I wanted to make sure about it...

Windows 7 SP1, all updates through 10/2017. [This system is an HTPC running Windows Media Center, thus the reason I've not moved it forward.] Recently (within the last few months), I've noticed that using File Explorer is extremely slow. Dramatically slower than it used to be. However, File...

I just installed an update for my computer and have this issue where there are extra quick selection links in my file explorer and they are blank. Does anyone know what is causing this and how to fix this? I have scanned my computer for any viruses and it is clean. I am running 64 bit windows...

Hello everyone, I'm sure this is laughably simple to fix, but I just can't find it anywhere. When I drag a file or folder in Windows 10 File Explorer, a little pop-up window appears as soon as the mouse pointer hovers over a folder. The mini-window contains the name of the folder. All the...

Hello everyone, So I a fairly new to windows, coming from mac, and I think windows is brilliant. However, one of the things that I loved with macs/osx was the finder. When in finder (mac's file explorer), when you click in a folder, it will reveal its contents on the side to its right, linking...
