Returning Explorer To Default Location?

Aug 2, 2010

Lately, I've been sharing my computer with my brother (his computer broke) and he just like to move the windows around (ie. music window to the bottom of the screen etc)So, every time I opened the music folder, it opens the window to the bottom of the screen.Is it possible to reset the window locations to its default location/size.

How To Set Default Save Location

Nov 15, 2010

I am trying to set my default file save location to my Desktop. I searched the web and found solutions but I must be doing something wrong.For instance, I recently saved a Notepad file to My Documents / example_folder. Then I thought I had set the default to Desktop by the following:Start > [my_username] > Documents > Properties, highlighting Desktop, clicking "Set save location" so that the checkmark is at Desktop, clicking Apply, clicking OK.So the next time I save a Notepad file, it defaults to the last folder I saved in ( example_folder ), not Desktop.How do I get the default Save File to be Desktop?

Change Default Installation Location?

Nov 2, 2011

I'm in charge of security and fixing problems on my grandma's two computers. She typically installs several hundreds of games on her computers. I would prefer her to install the games to "c:\program files\games" rather than "c:\program files" as that folder ends up getting so cluttered that I can't tell what's in there. Is there a way to change the default installation location from "c:\program files" to "c:\program files\games"? She's too lazy to change the location manually when she installs software, so it would be nice just to change the default location, but I'm not sure how to do that on Windows 7

What Is Default Location For BCD On A Dual Disk System

Jul 28, 2012

If I were to install Win 7 on a clean dual hard drive system, where would the BCD be located?

I think I can recall one case where Win 7 went onto a single drive system (where BCD can only be on C) only to find BCD moved to D drive when a second drive was plugged in.

These kinds of issues can bring a backup / restore strategy to it's knees. I've had a case where I could restore everything but the BCD, may as well have had no backup because the restored image could not be booted!

Can the BCD be bolted down to a specific drive? Or, is there a smarter way to handle the BCD from a backup perspective?

Windows Photo Viewer Default Location?

Aug 11, 2011

Where is windows photo viewer (the application .exe file) located by default on windows 7 64 bit? I am trying to set it as the default program to open certain picture files because an essential program I run needs those specific file associations to be made or it will not work. But every time I try to set windows photo viewer as the default program, windows asks me to browse for the application, and it is nowhere to be found on the computer (although I know it is installed and runs perfectly fine). I have tried preforming searches within the computer and just cant find the .exe file I need.

Default User Desktop Folder Location?

Jul 30, 2011

I'm setting up the backup for my computer. When I tell it to back up the desktop for my user profile, however, there's nothing to backup, even though my desktop shows items on it. I found those items in the "public" desktop folder. When I check in HKEYCUSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsExplorerUsershellfolders, however, the Desktop data shows %USERPROFILE%Desktop, which is the path to my user desktop folder. I could just backup the public desktop folder, but I really don't want my desktop to be public.

Moving Default Location Of Folders On A Fresh Install?

Feb 20, 2011

i got a SSD awhile back and was able to install windows on it and have my users folder and default install folder on my normal HDD. It has worked ok till now but I'm sure i screwed a few things up when i did it because random programs still try to install on my SSD and when the install makes the shortcuts, the paths for them are usually the wrong drive.I want to do a fresh install now, but i wanna do this correctly this time. how to make it so ONLY the windows folder in on the SSD and every thing else that actually takes up a lot of room on the drives goes on my larger HDD. edit: why wont it let me make separate paragraphs, it just smooshes it into a single one.

Windows 7 64bit - Default Programs File Location?

Mar 13, 2012

inteli7 - 16gig ram - Ocz 60 OS boot drive - 600gig sata 3 Velociraptor. I want my apps on the spindle drive - But Noooo windows does not want me to do that. Changes to registry are not supported, links and junctions and other suggestions seem more hassle that its worth. Should I just screw it and install 64bit XP? If I decide to give in what i can partition the 600gig and use that- 120 gig ok for the OS?

Can't Change Default Docs Location - SSD/AHCI Primary + HDD/IDE?

Aug 1, 2012

I just built a new desktop, got a 60GB SSD to boot Windows7 (and maybe a couple applications) from, and a 1.5TB HDD for storage. I'm trying to change the default location of My Docs, Downloads, etc from the SSD to the HDD (maybe change the location of the whole User folder?) so that my SSD stays clean with just the necessities.My problem is that I can't access the right-click menu that allows you to change the default location.Note: When I first installed Windows 7, all of my SATA ports were in IDE mode. I was able to access the "change folder location" menu for My Docs, etc, at this time. I changed the SATA port with my SSD to AHCI mode, which really boosted the boot speed, but I couldn't access the menu anymore after that.

Explorer.exe Crash When Trying To Delete Network Location

Feb 27, 2012

Okay so I just tried to add a new network location in the My Computer.

I set the network address as \MYLAPTOP but the program didn't let me do that because I need to specify a folder. I don't want to specify a folder because I just want to use the root folder. So I then typed it as \MYLAPTOP\ with an extra slash at the end. The shortcut was made but it didn't work so I tried to remove it.

Now every time I press "delete" on the shortcut Explorer.exe crashes and restarts. I tried this in safe mode with and without internet access but it always crashed.

Now I'm just looking for a way to manually delete the icon through registry or some other editor.

Set Default Save Location To Last Save Folder?

Jan 22, 2011

Is there any way to set the default save location folder for downloads in IE8 to the last folder that the same file type was saved in? It makes no sense to default to a single folder and have to browse through to the desired folder for every single download, so I assume there has to be an option somewhere.

Booting After Returning To Windows 7 HDD?

Nov 27, 2012

First of all, I have 2 HDD and 1 SSD in my desktop PC and I use the SSD one for my OSThis time, this drive has Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (english) on it. Today, I wanted to try Windows 8. Since I am not really into virtual machines or multiple OS in seperate partitions which you can select in a menu or something like that, I decided to use an old HDD to install the new OS. I unplugged the SSD and I plugged in the old HDDEverything went cool. Windows 8 installed fine, and I tried them for few minutes. I was done for the moment (I will still use Windows 7 for a while), so I unplugged the old HDD (with Windows 8 on it) and plugged in again my SSD.My problem is this. Whenever I boot, I am getting an error which has to do with the "winload.exe" (and the environment of this is clearly windows 8!!!) and it gives me 3 options. Enter to continue (nothing happens), F8 to get into settings (nothing happens) and F9 to load another OS. The last option leads to Windows 7 boot. Everything runs fine, but I don't want to do this everytime I start my PC[CODE]

Make Internet Explorer Default Browser Again?

Jan 24, 2013

I cannot get rid of Firefox as my default browser - I've tried everything suggested,but each has a "roadblock". I will follow directions, then what I need is missing,almost as if Firefox has deleted things to self protect.There is no ADD DELETE PROGRAMS,the Folder Types section has no tab for what you ask, places where I should click the Internet Explorer name only contains Mozilla Firefox
