filemanagement

Although Windows has evolved into a sophisticated, feature-rich operating system, even its most recent versions can leave users searching for essential tools that remain inexplicably absent from the default installation. Windows 11, for all of its polish and productivity advances, still requires...

Microsoft's latest update, Windows 11 KB5055627 (Build 26100.3915), introduces significant performance enhancements to File Explorer, particularly when accessing the "Home" tab. Users have reported noticeably faster launch times, addressing previous concerns about sluggishness in navigating...

Is it just me, or have Microsoft removed their brilliant feature of copying two sets of files at once? I copy a big set of files. It's taking ages. I tell it to copy another set. The first set pauses! Why? I want the quickest to end first, so something is achieved earlier!

I noticed this folder created in my C: root. There are no files in it. It's an empty folder that was created last week. Have no idea where it came from. Something related to Azure and IPC? I'm just guessing. Folder name is MSIPCCache. Any info would be great. I find nothing on it when doing a...

Up to lately the folder order was displayed AUTOMATICALLY from A > Z: Now windows always shows the order in reverse order by default (Z > A) ... Why is this, and how can I "set" it again so that it shows automatically (not every time by hand) as described at the beginning ?!? Thanks for...

I cannot open a handle to any of my storage devices. HANDLE h = CreateFile(L"\\\\.\\PhysicalDisk0", GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, FILE_READ_ACCESS | FILE_WRITE_ACCESS, 0, OPEN_EXISTING, 0, 0); I also tried copying the full path from WinObj: \GLOBAL??\PhysicalDrive0 and...

Alright, I have a couple of issues that all came up the day after I ran a scan on my computer with Advanced System Care Pro. I've been using the product for a few months now without any issues. Now it seems like the computer is not recognizing my user settings. Here are my problems. When I...

Discovered this neat tool that allows the user to copy a file name to the clipboard with a right click menu item. Clicking shift at the same time will also copy the full path. Great if you need to enter the full path to a file in a form etc. Copy filenames to the Windows clipboard with...

If I copy-paste some folders and files, there are just sooo many confirmation-dialogs for overwriting files and folders. This makes me nuts as I have to do loads of this each day. In the glorious days of XP there was just the simple: "do you want to overwrite this?" [yes] [no] So with only...

Hi, How would one go about searching for filenames starting with the '-' character? e.g. -something.ext i can search for image files created on a wednesday by left handed, pleasant smelling, polish plumbers whos fathers were members of the communist party and whos names were Mary..... but...

Just got a laptop for my daughter, HP G60-535, somehow I've put my, D: Recovery drive into my music folder. I think it was only copied into it. My fat and heavy finger did it somehow. It could have been a dvd of itunes that I tried to copy songs into new itunes that got named "recovery". Can I...

When will Microsoft provide the feature to print a list of files from within Windows? Of course we can take multiple screenshots, or go out to DOS and use a switch, but come on.... WordPerfect was able to do this back in the early 90's. Or maybe even the lat 80's. :confused:

"Clear" type is turned on by default in Vista. There are some of us who think that it makes everything blurry and results in headaches. Even though I have switched it off at the system level, MS has chosen to force it upon me in window title bars, IE7 address bar and various other places. This...
