The quick access folder is a great idea ... to a point ... Just because I am working in or, on a folder doesn't mean I will need to open it again. I am moving music files around and will most likely delete said folder anyway. This isn't happening all the time but, if I have a folder open for...

Hello, Forum Mates. Since I updated my Windows 10 files the other day, a large amount of music files, which I knew were somehow displaced, but which didn't harm my home screen, started to populate what should be my home screen. I have tried to delete them, but the recycle basket disappeared...

Hi I'm still messing around with trying to get Cortana to play my music. I think it's like the map location thing, she doesn't get the info from Windows 10 about where the music is. So I started all over. I removed everything from my default music folder, except my iTunes folder. I created a...

I have tried unsuccessfully to use the Windows 7 Search (and advanced search) facility to list music files. What I want is to list MP3 and FLAC files with the same filename on the same search results. I can of course see each type with separate searches but not both together. Hope someone can...

Hi Anyone, After installing/uninstalling Win 10, with much help from Kemical, I finally got Win 7 reworking and un-corrupted (ish). So, I upgraded to Win 10 again and it's good! However, I can't seem to make File History work properly. When I go to 'More Options' in Settings, Backup, I ask it...

I have windows 10, and for some reason I can't play midis. Everytime I want to play a midi, it says "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device. There might not be a sound device installed on your computer, it might be in use by another program...

I have an external Hard Drive (WD My Book). I've been storing music on it and other data. Last week my computer which is running Windows 7 stopped recognizing it. I received a bunch of weird errors from asking if I wanted to format the drive to the drive just disconnecting from the computer...

Hi I am new to this forum but have encountered a very irritating problem. A couple of weeks ago my laptop crashed and upon looking at it the hard drive had gone.
