The little icons beside each of my favorites are starting to get scrambled - the icon from one site will appear as the icon for another site. I've tried going into Tools>Internet Options>Advanced and resetting Internet Explorer settings, but that didn't work.
System HP Desktop Compaq 500B MT with Windows 7 pro I have successfully downloaded and installed I.E. 9. and everything appears to work correctly. However when go to Favorites -> Organize favorites I get the message: "error 55, object doesn't support property or method New Folder'.This is not a serious problem but just may indicate other problems - hence I would like to fix it. I have downloaded a fresh copy of I.E. 9 and tried to install it but get the message that a later version is already installed.
These two favorites won't stay put. I want it so that Norton forum is on the top and Tech Outpost is on the bottom. I couldn't get them to "harden." I tried to delete those two and put them back again. This worked until I shut down the PC and rebooted it. Clicking on the favorite labeled Norton forumsClicking on Tech Outpost:Notice how the two entries change place.List of user software (present on both PC):
I had my Vista computer's hard drive crash! Fortunately I have a full back up of my data. Purchases new computer with Windows 7 64 bit O/S. A couple of data transfer issues:
-How do I transfer my favourites from backup to the Explorer 9 favourites? -How do I transfer my old e-mail messages to a new e-mail programme.
I use the extend feature on my laptop with a second monitor. The only thing on the second monitor's desktop is a couple gadgets and sticky notes, NO icons. I keep all my desktop icons on the primary screen. However, whenever I disconnect my second monitor and take my laptop somewhere, I always turn my computer on to find all my icons randomly bunched up on the left side of the screen. Can anyone help explain/fix this?
All my icons on desktop are internet explorer, when I try to open I get a window that says view downloads but when i try to open program it doesn,t work. The same with start menu.
On my old Win 7 computer the toolbar icons were pretty easy to see. Now, I'm just setting up my new computer and I've found the toolbar icons are really, really tiny. Actually, all the toolbars and controls have shrunk! how to increase the sizes of the icons?
i jsut moved the Desktop folder to a different drive cause i didnt want it to be on the SSD. i moved everything but from when i did this i cant add shortcuts to the explorer's left panel. ill show you a pic. http://imageshack.us/f/7/catturagy.png/ Under ''Preferiti'
1. I would like to know if there is a way to get the Favorites that is in the left hand navigation panel on the Windows Explorer toolbar beside "Organize.....Open....New folder" (or the very least in the "File....Edit...Tools....View...Help" Menu bar)
2. Is there a way to get the Up functionality in Windows Explorer itself without replacing the Explorer with Classic Shell & the likes?
3. Can I somehow highlight the Parent Folder in the Windows Explorer address bar? That would make navigating extremely easier.
In explorer, i have a few folders on the left pane like, downloads, dropbox, desktop etc how do i add my main folder, which has my pictures, documents etc in it
how do I get favorites listed in the toolbar? I used to have the word favorites and all I had to do was click on it to add to it Now,there is just the star for favorites and clicking just has a drop down menu and does not have a way to add something to favoriotes.
As the title states Explorer is bogged down when the folders have a large number of items in them (over 500). I have searched multiple places and this topic is brought up regularly but too few solutions. The only bit of information I have is that when I view the same folder from the Computer link (in the Navigation pane) it does not slow down when I open the folder. It instantly populates the window with the folder contents.I think this is because the libraries and Favorites are virtual folders??? I don't know why this would cause Windows Explorer to freeze up for 10 seconds to display the folder contents but it is incredibly frustrating. Moving files between folders can be time consuming and has forced me to completely abandon the Libraries & Favorites.
Windows Explorer ( not internet Explorer) starts up when I turn on my computer ( without my request). This just started to occur yesterday. It must be in some startup menu . Where do I look for this to remove it ?
I have Windows 7 on my computer. Can anyone tell me the difference between Start/favorites and the Favorites toolbar which is the third toolbar on top of the screen?
I have been having problems with my new computer running Win7 Ultimate and have had to do an upgrade install. Now IE8 and Incredimail are unable to connect to the internet although Norton, Windows, System Mechanic, etc.,can all download updates
Upon first opening Explorer in Windows 7, everything works fine. If I switch to another folder, I lose previews. In some folders, I have no icons at all. It doesn't seem to matter what the content is: .docx, .jpg, .avi. All icons are lost. The dreaded green bar starts crawling across the top. I have a spinning magnifying glass in the left pane. In "my computer" I can't navigate to any drives. It's beyond frustrating.I use a custom desktop theme and everything worked up to now; switched to Aero theme and have the same issues. I've run Malwarebytes. No problems discovered. I rebuilt the icon cache. Same problem as above. I did a system restore to a point before this started. Same problem. I started in safe mode. Everything works fine.
Ok I have several things on my desktop but for some reason they are gone now and you can only see them in Explorer when you click on desktop. Is this by design I swear they were there before.
When I look at the thumbnails of my jpgs, theyare grayed and harder to work with. I would liketo make them just a normal small image of the original.They are not corrupted when I double-click on them,they launch the image viewer and look fine.
can you change the layout for icons in explorer? in windows7 the sorting is
a a b b c c c d d
in XP it was
a b c a c d b c d
when i read file names in Windows 7 it takes min 5x more time to read them.i dont know why sb from ms do this and when, but this is s**t.can you make windows7 to sort icons like XP?
I have in the taskbar properties "Use small icons", "Group when taskbar is full", and this value changed with regedit: Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelDesktopWindowMetrics] "MinWidth"="40" I want to look like all the icons from Explorer the same, no matter in what folder is at the moment, look like they are all left as the yellow icon entirely. How can I do that?
I have network drives mapped on my machine (Win 7 Pro 64bit) and any time I open Explorer while not connected to my companies domain, the icons take anywhere from 15-20 seconds to fully display.
As soon as I disconnect all the drives, the icons display immediately.
When I turn on Aero settings my desktop wallpaper is scrambled along with title bars of applications. Everything else will work fine for a bit, but after a while it 'crashes' and Aero is automatically turned off.
The card I'm using is the ASUS SILENT Radeon HD 3650.
I've searched the threads and solutions to no avail. One member has a similar issue and solved it by switching motherboards (started with a SIS 648 chipset). Unfortunately I only have a SIS 648 chipset motherboard available.
Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution? I've attached screenshots of the effects described.
6 months ago I upgraded my PC with a intel 3820, x79ud3 mobo and 8 gigs of ddr3 ram. Ever since then occasionally the window 7 start up logo graphic would glitch up and i would get a black screen. at first i thought is was my mobo because that was the most significant change in the system. I've recently had it replaced(same model) and its happening more than ever. I've tested the PSU as well and its been able to hold a mark95 test and a furmark test, going at the same time, so its been ruled out. I've tried swaping out my graphics card but that didn't solve the problem either.
I've got a problem that came up recently and I think it might have something to do with one of the latest Windows 7 updates. Most of the time when I open up My Computer, it scans for a really long time and shows nothing(ie.no HDDs, Optical Drives or Network Locations) and in certain folders the icons and thumbnails are completely missing. I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit.
restarting explorer.exe if taskbar icons vanish. But a big issue left me shunning to restart explorer.exe. I didn't know how it started but everything I restart windows explorer some of the icons disapeer, not all but some significant ones like Deskspace which is manageble only to right-click on the tskbar icon, and Ditto, a software that saves your Ctrl-C data for later which the pop-up selector is located on the taskbar icon, all the others are find but this all happens when I restart windows explorer. It's really annoying to log off and log back on just to config or use some of my most useful programs.
