file manager

Hi While looking for a way to solve the missing Windows 8 password in relation to a post on the support forum I found this video.... I decided to give it a try myself, since it seemed like something that could be useful. I made a CD and booted my computer to Mini Windows XP. I booted right...

I need to have a shortcut in file explorer go down a list of three targets and pick the first that works. Since I need this for about ten folders, it isn't really efficient to use separate shortcuts and just test which one is working at the time. The problem is that the name of the target is...

I find it an extreme annoyance. I would like to find a file manager that "virtually" strips out the entire roster of about 30+ redundant and unnecessary folders, and simply leaves a minimalist file tree. I can create three or four sub-directories for my particular tasks without the insane...

Free Commander is my file manager of choice...at least it has been for a number of years now. However, since the last install of the OS it has become useless, because it freezes every time that I try to use it and has to be forced to close with the Task Manager. I'm using the latest version...

I have a windows 7 laptop and a windows vista desktop. There is a wireless router connected to my desktop and I am able to connect to it and use the internet on my laptop. But I am having trouble connecting to my desktop and viewing files on my desktop from my laptop. When I open up the file...

Hi Something that has been bugging me is that Windows 8 on my new computer is slow opening files and folders. I don't mean that it takes forever but when I click on almost anything in File Manager or on my desktop the waiting icon appears and it takes a couple of seconds for anything to...

I'm curious because when using a program I have for cataloging certain files that are contained within a nested set of folders, I always find the last file added at the very beginning of the list in only one of the folders. In every one of the other folders, the files are arranged...

Hello! i want to add custom folder and location to the "Save As..." windows, is there any way to do it? i've added a screeen shot to show what i mean. i want to add folder to red marked area. thanks! Yirmi.

I play Minecraft a lot, and many of the mods that I download use .zip to open. So I used to do this before, but for some reason I uninstalled 7-zip, so I tried re-installing it. The file that I use to open .zip files is the 7zFM (7-zip File Manager). But whenever I try to set that application as...

The Building Windows 8 development blog has been an interesting read for a while. Hearing straight from developers and then seeing unfiltered responses from users and secondary devs is refreshing, even if the topic isn't particularly compelling or I don't agree with their design choices. Today...

Hello. OK, this is not a Windows 7 related/caused problem, but as I am desperate for help and have received excellent help on this site in the past, I thought I might try anyway. When I started up my other PC this morning, it never got past the first screen, the one where I have a choice of...

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone can recommend an alternative file management program to windows explorer that works with Windows 7. Ones I've tried include.. 1: xplorer2 - Shuts down whenever I try renaming files. Will usually rename the first couple and then shut down. 2...

I have a few problem with windows 7. For what ever reason now when I open another window it will open in back of the with in front of it.I click on the new window and it comes to the front but I can find a switch to help it open in front. Also I have made a window with my shortcuts in it and 2...

Hello folks, my big concern is about what I still call File Manager or Windows Explorer. I am used to opening Explorer using WinKey+E. Yeah that still works but I like two instances open and I tile them side by side. I cannot do that now I have Win7. Or can I..??

In spite of all the nice additions to Explorer, I still don't like it. Not productive enough. On my XP partition I use Directory Opus. It installed and worked fine on 7, but it kept corrupting my file system. I'm not sure exactly what the problem was, but after using it to move or create...
