Greeting, all - When you have some videos in a folder and have the 'View' mode set to 'Large Icons', it shows a thumbnail preview about 5 seconds into the vid. Normally, this is fine when it comes to jogging your memory of what the vid is, but I've just gotten hold of some historical...

Hey guys! I really need your help. My PC decided to reset itself today and when it did that, it screwed something up. So now, every time I change the Folder View to Tile (for example) and close & reopen the folder, everything reverts back to Details View. Everything that I changed in that folder...

Running Win 8.1 (of course), I use Irfanview as my default graphics file viewer/editor. When I view a folder containing graphics files (large icon mode), the icon shown for each file is the Irfanview logo/icon. How do I make Windows show a preview of each file, instead?

A couple of months ago I had an issue with Windows Explorer crashing when I tried to open the Videos folder. After much research and help from other forums it turned out to be a dodgy windows update, KB297519. Once this was manually removed I was able to access my videos folder again and the...

Hello How can I change the files (JPG, PNG ... etc) so I can see them in a folder? In the past, I used to do them, but I bought a new laptop

Icons in my folders keep reverting to Details view (Change Your View > Details) instead of Large Icons choice, which is what I want as default. It's not a consistent thing, though; sometimes I re-open folder and it's still Large Icons, sometimes it has gone back to Details view. Any suggestions?

This is a company PC with desktop settings like Windows XP I used to for a few years. I explored the options and changed the desktop background when some of the settings changed that I'd like to revert back. 1. The menu bar becomes gray and with bigger height than it was before. I like the old...

hi, All; I know that opening a folder displays the content in the format of the last window I opened. Most of the time, this is fine. But there are certain windows that I would like to maintain a specific view. For example: Showing List, or displaying all Medium Icons, and set to a specific...

I installed a program the other day that messed with my Windows Explorer. Now no folder will remember it's View options (Large Icons, List, Details), they all reset to their default. As you can see it's nothing to do with Libraries. Neither the 'Shell Fix' nor editing the registry at...

Place your mouse cursor anywhere in the Ribbon and then use the Scroll Wheel. It will scroll from File to Home to Share to View. This way, you won't have to click on the Tab you want. Came across this by accident. Also works in the Windows Live Mail Ribbon, eh, probably works on any & all...

Hi Is there a folder view option in Windows 7 explore as was the case with XP ?

In a folder window, that has music files. You know how you can choose to see details of files in a folder? Well I was wondering if you could see their bitrates in the folder without having to right click each MP3 file to see their properties. I imagine it's something like "Content" (which...

So, if I access my files through C:/users/jjn/My Documents/whatever... I can see them and they are there, if I go through the library feature that 'says' it's looking in the same location some files are not there. How do you reset or refresh or rehydrate the library so it sees what IS actually...

In explorer, in the folder view on the left, it displays my user name, with a ton of files inside -I don't use it and would like for it not to display those folders there - can it be removed? When I right click on it and select delete I'm asked if i want to remove the "icon", I say yes, but...

Album Art Photoshop Action and Droplets As much as I like the "active" folder view, when it comes to the My Music folder I much prefer the old WinXP style flat album cover view. It's a man thing, how can you show off a CD? But years ago, carrying a 12" square carrier bag with your latest...
