Using Win7, how can I get Win Explorer to automatically expand the C drive tree upon launch? I tried this -- %windir%Explorer.exe /n,/e,c: -- but it did not work.

I ask because I have just noticed that when I open WORD files that the newly generated WBK-files are visible despite me using the "attrib +h *.nfo /s" command previously. I foolishly hoped that also all future '*.wbk's would automatically be hidden too. Is there anything that I can do about it without repeating the manual command prompt all the time as suggested in Hide all of a certain file type in a folder tree?

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I open a folder using the tree in the left pane the position of the selected folder change. It's like the layout of the tree pane is not working fine. Maybe they autoscroll in order to display all the child's folders but I don't like this. When the folder i want to open is in the middle of the pane (vertically) it moves often to the bottom and i can't even see the child's folder, and some time it move the opened folder to the top of the pane
I just would like to have the thing working as it's in XP. When we open a folder, this one don't move and the children appears under this one.
I have just upgraded to Windows 7 and have discovered an annoyance with Windows Explorer. When I expand a folder's contents (tree) by clicking on the arrow icon, the entire contents of the left panel jump to the bottom of the visible screen (rather than just the subfolders expanding). The annoyance is that every time I expand a tree in the Explorer, I also have to scroll the contents of the left panel back up (because it jumped down). For example, in Vista, if I expanded a folder tree, only the sub folders would expand and move downward.

View 5 Replies View RelatedUpon every boot up Windows Explorer ( not Internet Explorer) automatically loads and displays. This has been going on for some time. I thought this would be solved once I did a "Install Repair" , yet this is not the case.I have looked in the startup folder to see if it is being requested on startup and it is not. I have not been able to see where this request resides to turn it off.
View 5 Replies View RelatedThe title I chose was probably not the best, come to think of it. It isn't so much the resizing part of this process as it is all the rest of it that I seem to be having problems with.Okay, first of all I need to specify that I'm just an average user when it comes to Windows 7 and hardware nitty gritty. to which I am very grateful. And here I am again, hat in one hand and a problem in the other. Here's the situation: I have a laptop whose hard drive I've outgrown, so I bought a larger one for the machine. I also bought a USB-based enclosure so I'd be able to have the drives share data. I installed the new drive into the laptop, and put the old one in the enclosure. The old drive is 160 gigs in size with only about 3 gigs open. The new one is 500 gigs.
I used Clonezilla to clone the 160 to the 500. This worked perfectly. But I wound up with a new drive that still only had 3 gigs open. There were about 340 gigs left unallocated. So I used another Linux-based utility -- Parted Magic -- to reclaim the unallocated space.Okay, I need to back up for a second. The old drive has two partitions, call them C and D. The D partition is fairly small -- about 10 gigs.So Clonezilla cloned both partitions at their original sizes, but the funny thing was, it set the D partition ahead of the C partition. When I picture the graphic display that I get with a disk partition program, in my experience, the left most partition is the root partition, or "C". But for some reason, Clonezilla put D there, and C to the right of it. Well, I thought it probably doesn't matter because the OS can boot from other than the root partition -- or whatever it's proper term is -- from what I understand. So I expanded both in Parted Magic to take up all the unallocated space. Then I ran it and everything was set.
Went to boot the computer and no go. It couldn't find the boot sector or whatever. I didn't write down the error message so I don't recall the precise wording, but that is essentially what it was telling me. So I booted Parted Magic again, and took a look. Well, the "C" drive had the "boot" flag set, so I didn't really understand what the problem was other than it being out of place.So this time I deleted the D partition so that C was the only one and moved C down to take up D's space. Linux is assigning each of these partitions a name or descriptor, like sba1 and sba2. Well, D got the sba1 and C got the sba2. When I deleted D, C's descriptor didn't change. It's still sba2. I dunno if this will matter or not.Right now, I'm waiting for PM to finish moving the data as the C partition is expanded. Got another hour or so to go before it's done. I guess I'll find out if my workaround has worked.
My object was to transfer all the data from the old disk to the new, and to be able to access all the space in the new drive (duh). I also wanted C and D partitions. After the moving and expansion of C has been completed, there will be about 275 gigs of unallocated space left. My thinking is that if my latest attempt is successful, I'll go back and configure the unallocated space as D and then copy D's data off the old drive onto the new.So anyway, the point of this long-winded post is to ask the all-knowing forum mind how I should have done it and whether what I'm doing now will work. So the next time I can avoid the hours I've spent spinning my wheels. If I have to start all over, I'm prepared to do that, but before I do, I would like to find a way to "clone" the old drive (probably not the best word choice) AND expand the two directories at the same time. Clonezilla did not allow for this, near as I can determine, so I'm wondering which other Linux-based utility I can use? I've got a couple of disks of Linux utilities, and for all I know I might have one of them already. From what I've recently read there's also a Windows 7 Disk Management Tool that can do the resizing? I'm not at all familiar with it.
I have a problem with the folders in windows explorer in windows 7.Often windows explorer automatically creates unwanted folders who I cant recognize. Often some folders have been splitted in 2 or more folders. One example is that it had been created 2 folders of my "bon jovi"-folder. One of them has the original name "bon jovi" and the new folder has the name "jon bon jovi". Strange behaviour by windows explorer.Or just one file is saved in a folder and a subfolder, which have names based on the files name, often the artist and album. If I download one file, I want it saved in "my music"-folder "bare", not hidden in 1 or 2 folders.Suddenly, after 15 mins or so, a lot of new unwanted folders appeared in "my music" with subfolders and just one mp3-file. The new folders were created just some minutes ago. The numbers of folders in "my music" has increased much.Many of the mp3-files are downloaded from dc++, but the settings in dc++ is correct. The files are saved in "my music"-folder.Ive tried to change the foldersettings in windows explorer, f.ex organise -> reset folders, but it doesnt help

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been using Windows 7 x64 Enterprise since somewhere in september (legally, yes), and it has ran perfectly until now (well, it still does, but...). I left the computer on for 6-7 hours while I visited my grandparents, and when I came back, I used it as always and then had to reboot it. When led to this:
When I boot up the computer it will automatically boot from the CD drive. Every single time I boot I have to press F12 and choose my harddrive. It does not save. I've been into BIOS as well, and it says that it is my harddrive that is the primary boot device. It does this every single time I turn it on.
I have no discs inside the DVD drive neither.
I recently replaced my boot drive and just got everythign up and running. I had removed my backup drive while I replaced the boot drive so that I could us it on another computer.
Now when I add the 2nd hard drive back to my computer I get a message saying something like "can not load os" right after the bios screen comes up and before Windows begins to load. If I unplug the second drive the computer will boot just fine.
If I access the boot menu and select my boot drive the computer will boot and my second drive will work just fine. I do not have to enter the boot menu and select the boot drive on every startup?
I have two Identical hard drives [1.5T WD in external caddys with both USB2 & eSata connections]. Both have been in use since I built computer Dec10. Now I plug them in and their not visible anymore? Their shown as a usb or scsi drive but no assigned drive letter or their "name".Their showing in the Disk manager and I found I had to manually tell it to mount and assign a drive letter[then their useable]. I tried another removable drive that was USB2 & firewire and the same thing. USB2 ,eSata or firewire and their all not visable in explorer. Yet I can plug in a flash drive and I can immediately see it once loaded.Is there a switch in registry or somewhere thats controls this.All these drives were immediately available in file explorer previously? Now I am having to use the DM to manually mount and assign them to read/write to them.
View 1 Replies View Relatedmy Windows 7 recently quit assigning drive letters automatically. I frequently plug in new hard drives to the system using various USB to IDE or SATA adapters and now when I plug in a new hard drive with any of these USB adapters, it does not get a drive letter assigned to the volumes on the drive. If I go to Disk Management, the drives show up, and so do their partitions, and I can manually assign a drive letter to it, but this gets rather tedious. Any idea why it quit doing it automatically and how to get it to automatically assign drive letters once again?? I figured maybe it ran out of letters, so I went in the registry to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMMountedDevices and deleted all the remembered drive letter assignments in there, but that didn't help any.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am running WHS but the same principal applies as 7. I have a HP N40L Server and have no problem sharing anything internal or external after it is connected following standard procedure.
My question is, is it possible to make Windows 7/WHS automatically share plug and play storage devices. The Server is over Wi-Fi and sometimes for big files it can be too slow and is easier just plugging in a HD.
Ideally
1. File is too big to rip directly to Desktop or Laptop from Server.
2. Plug in storage device to Server via any of the four USBs on the Servers front.
3. Go back to my regular Desktop or Laptop
4. Go to My Computer and notice the new drive has appeared under the Sever with my other internal shared drives
5. Drag and Drop to and from Server and Computer as I wish.
