Use Explorer Classic Shell?
Jun 4, 2011
How does Explores Classic Shell looks like? Does it looks like previous Windows XP File Explorer? Welcome to Classic Shell As there apepars more and more essential functions missing in Windows 7, I just installed onto Windows 7 a Classic shell Explorer 3.1 (not a Start menu or IE9)I checked accordingly Classic shell home page FAQ what to do if:What to do when Classic Explorer doesn't show up?But how do I know that it doesn't show up? How does Explores Classic Shell looks like?I don't notice anything new in File Explorer - still selection is lost when I sort files from column header and there New is only Windows 7 missed status bar - now I can see how big is content of a folder and how much spare room is on the destination drive.

I read in Classic Shell's FAQ that I can add a button for e.g. Agent Ransack to my Windows Explorer toolbar, to do searches. I know how to add that button so that it launches Agent Ransack, but I want Agent Ransack's search location to be the folder in which I clicked the button. I suspect that I need to edit the shortcut properties, but with what?
I can currently right-click any folder and select "Agent Ransack" and it will use that folder as the search location. But I want the ability to click a shortcut while a folder is already open (otherwise I have to go up to the parent folder, and then right-click the folder and select Agent Ransack, and then down into the folder to open it up again).

I have set up custom paths for the shell folders in Windows 7. It works like it's supposed to except for one small detail. The system creates the folders "Pictures" and "Videos" in the default path (C:UsersUsername). As I mentioned I already have "My Pictures" and "My Videos" at another drive, so these folders shouldn't be there but when I try to delete them the system re-creates them. If I try to delete them again I get an error message stating I don't have permission to remove the folder, and if I try to open it it says "Access denied".

I have been getting Windows Shell Common DLL crashes when accessing and modifying properties in my Sound Panel. (I recently connected my SPDIF out to my receiver;I've also been having trouble getting my headphones to work again, but that's another problem) It's shown up in my Reliability Monitor and I've had the "Critical Event" "Windows Shell Common Dll" "Stopped Working" and it has reduced my reliability score from 10 to about 2. When I "Check for a solution" it says there aren't any available. I've checked all drivers and they are up to date. Any idea how to fix this? I've done alot of searching, and all i could find was one guy dl'ing a new SFComm64.dll file and replacing it in his system, which he said worked, but Windows 7 saw as a security threat (?). So, I'm not quite sure what to do - do I try and dl a new SFComm64.dll file? And if so, where do I dl from?

Im starting to work with powershell and try to port my old batch files.
1)I got this lines of Code, and I dont know who to convert them to power shell.The goal is to uninstall a software using the string found in the registry.[code]
2) In former times I used PsExe to remotly execute scripts on remote positions.What would be the best practice for power shell.
3) Another question is if it is posible with power shell to tell the system (Windows 7 and/or Xp)to do a Windows System Update and install all critical updates?

So I have used Terminal in Fedora and I noticed we have power shell which seems much like Terminal, but what do you use it for? With Windows you can point and click on things I used Terminal in Fedora because I had to do certain updates or app installs that way.Can I do a software update through power shell? Where can I read how to start using Power Shell.

i have been playing around with an industrial Linux-powered scanner, and was making okay progress under XP.This was made easier as I just ran some of the bash scripts through win-bash.Since moving to Windows 7 of course this no longer works, even if I disable UAC completely.I can only guess that the reason is that win-bash no longer works with Windows 7.My question is will powershell fill the gap?i.e. if this is my win-bash script what would the powershell equivalent look like, or am I barking up the wrong tree?ow I need an alternative sooner rather than later?

I installed Battlefield 3 right after Christmas and just today noticed that I was unable to access my mouse settings via Control Panel. I know that this is a small issue but I'm concerned that it might continue to grow. As I have updated a number of drivers and other programs since then I am reluctant to hit the restore button and loose half a day of work. Can I simply "repair" Windows shell and go on?I ran (as administrator) sfc/scannow and if found no integrity errors. I also ran Control Panel / Action Center / Maint / Review Reliability and found no issues

I had a file that had that open with format, I mistakenly changed it to a Windows Media Player format, and now can not change it back.I was thinking that I may have to reinstall the shell32.dll itself, but I saw the file on my computer. So maybe I should just find it in the Browse folder directory, then click okay and it's fix. Not sure completely where it is located or if that will work.

I have a number of PCs connecting to a server where we house our personal folders. The server also houses music, basketball games, our photos, applications (like drivers and updates etc). On XP and vista I could update shell folders in registry to point each of the various locations (Like My Videos, My Documents, My Pictures etc), to a location on the server.
I updated the shell folder locations in registry only to find that it says location is unsupported because the network locations are not indexed
I have turned indexing off because it is a total waste of resources. We have everything stored on separate drives by category of item. For us, sedarching is not required, stuff is easy to find.
So how can I point the shell folders to a network location without turning on indexing?

I wanted to have this searchable in case others have come across the same problem. This problem occurs when you try to install certain programs. I tried all of these fixes, but I'll label the one that worked for me. (I will only show the fixes I tried which have been confirmed to work for others). My operating system is a Windows 7 64 bit.
1. Create a new administrator account, log on to that account, then run the installer from that account. (this is what worked for me. )(Simply running the installer as an administrator account from my normal account did not work)
2. Go to the command prompt (by clicking the windows logo/start and typing cmd ),then type regedit inside the command prompt and press enter. Browse to the location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER --> Software --> Microsoft --> Windows -->Current Version --> Explorer --> User Shell Folders. Click to highlight the Recent key, then click File, export. Save the file (but remember where you saved it to). Go back to the registry editer, right click Recent and click delete. Restart your computer and try the installation again. (please take care when you're in the registry editer, deleting the wrong thing could lead to:.(If this one did not work, go back to User Shell Folders inside the registry editor, click a blank area inside the right pane, click File, import, and choose the Recent key you exported earlier. This will put the key back in your registry.)
3. Boot up in safe mode with networking ( to do this, start up your computer and press F8 like a madman before the windows logo appears on the screen.) and try to run the installer as an administrator.

I have ported all classic appearance themes what you have seen in Windows 98/2000/ME, such as Bricks Desert Eggplant Liac Maple Marine Plum Pumplkin Rainy day Red blue white Rose Slate Spruce Storm Teal Wheat I feel the nostalgie with them. Maybe you will like them too.

I've never been a fan of the login welcome screen that was implemented in windows XP, however back then I could disable it to have the more classic login screen where you just type in username and password.
I can't find any option like this on Windows 7, seems impossible to change the login method, but at the same kind it can't possibly be impossible. That would render Windows 7 useless for any larger workplaces where you're connected to servers with hundreds of usernames. So anyone know how to do it?

Causing me to unplug it and plug it back in again. It happens mostly when it's been idle for some time.
I'm guessing it's something to do with the power management? Also maybe a recent update has upset some setting or something...
Got a list of Vaio updates to attend to but I'm not sure if I want any of them? The thing works so only win 7 updates
