Microsoft Windows XP has a built-in slide show that you should be able to turn on with just a few clicks. To get started, open whatever folder has the pictures you want to display, close any Windows Explorer bar (such as the Folders pane) that may be open over the task pane, and then, in...

Hi all, I'm running into three issues which I'm guessing are related -- 1) Windows 7 seems to protect certain folder trees differently than others. In particular, the Program Files tree. If I try to copy a file to a folder in that tree or rename a file in one of the folders, I get a dialog...

I am very angry with windows explorer. I have some mp3 in separate folders. Windows explorer is set to display all in details view, but when I go to folders with mp3 the details view change in # Artist ... etc. This is very annoying and I want all the information to be in details view no matter...

Folks, OK, I've had enough of things I can't see. How for example, can I find and view all files named "index.dat". If you enter this into the search bar, you won't find any, but I assure you, there are dozens on the typical system. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. There're many...

Can anyone recommend a simple photo viewer that all you have to do is select a folder (and not a library) and just tell the viewer to cycle the photos in full screen mode? I don't want to create photo libraries.

I am looking for a way to set all my folders (viewed with win. Explorer) to use one visual look. meaning: all use Details. all use the same columns (Name, Size, Type). all with the same column widths. It would be nice to set all current folders like this, and have any newly created folders to...

Hi all, I have a problem I've never encountered in any version in Windows. My C:\Users directory has disappeared from Explorer, but I *can* open CMD and use the command line to get to it (cd c:users\userid\..... etc.). I have set folder options to show hidden files and folders, but I still don't...

Couldn't really find anything through google, so I thought I might as well come here. It might be a little hard to explain, but... well it seems like after a Windows Update for today whenever I click any of the tabs on the menu bar (i.e. File, Edit, View, Tools, etc.) instead of normally having...

90% of the time clicking on any drive C:\ D:\, cdrom drives, or even my network drives, opens up 2 new windows of that drive. I find it very annoying to have 3 open explorer windows when I only wanted 1. If I open a drive then close the two windows then open the drive again only one window...

I like to arrange my list of picture folder titles in alphabetical order without icons or details, but arrange pictures within each folder with icons, by date order. This was easily done with XP, but in windows 7 I find that my picture folders will not stay as set, and revert to a list without...

Quick question to find out what "Date" represents in Windows 7 Explorer. Its clearly NOT "Date Modified" "Date Created" or "Date Accessed" Just would like to know what it is. For me, Date Modified makes most sense for use in Explorer and I'll probably use that instead. Second part of the...
