I have two Western Digital externals I use for frequent back-ups. I noticed recently, they both have a folder named $RECYCLE.BIN in caps as shown. Last time I shifted some files around and emptied folders, I went to remove (eject) the drives, using the icon in "show hidden icons" on the taskbar...

When I open a folder on drive D, called downloads, I find that the files are grouped into sections with names such as earlier this week, last week, last month. For some this may be ideal but for me it is only confusing. How do I change back to the classical style, all by name, date etc? For

Hi guys, absolute novice here. Trying to install championship manager 01/02 but it says uninstaller set up failed to initialize and then the installation stops at 61% and crashes.

I'm trying to deny permissions for a file for a specific user. The system we use is that each user has a folder structure on their C drive and they are all synced using Sugarsync. If changes are made on any PC they are propagated to the other PCs. I have the computer name of the one I want to...

When I open a second Explorer window, it's positioned virtually on top of the currently open window. Usually, when I do this it's so I can drag and drop objects from one to the other. The Explorer window placement means I have to move it aside in order to expose both Explorer window contents. Is...

Hello, I have a folder that has lots of home video (.mp4) files. To each file, I would like to insert a comment highlighting the contents of the file. This is similar to adding a comment in Excel for each cell. A red triangle or something else can mark that there is a comment to that file. And...

Can't get the datemodified: trick to work in my windows explorer. It doesn't show the promised calendar, parameters such as "thisweek" give nothing. Is WIndows 10 a bunch of crap? Never had this and a hundred other problems with 7 but it seems we're forced to use this OS or migrate to Linux...

I have installed a new computer and copied files from my old one. Properties on the folder I copied to shows 639MB and 4,197 files but going through the sub directories I cannot find any files at all. I have checked “show hidden files”.

The worst mistake I ever made was to turn on OneDrive files On-Demand. Not only am I a bit skittish about everything being saved to the cloud, but I don't need to free up space on my PC. So what I would like to do is simply turn off the auto-sync feature. I want to be able to create a file and...

Full disclosure I posted this on MS forums with no hits. Hi and Thank you, No files are saved to USB when generating protector key in powershell (Admin) or CMD (Admin). I am the only user for this system and have full Administrator rights. I have a home built PC Win 10 Pro 1909 that has a...

Working at an office probably wasn’t something you expected to miss in 2020. I know I didn’t. But if you’re reading this from home due to the global health crisis, it’s understandable that you might miss impromptu hallway conversations over the news ticker running through your head while working...
