Larger Size Of Icons In Explorer

May 9, 2013

I'm trying to find a way to make icons of images in Explorer larger than the "extra large" option. I don't see the slider in Win 8 Explorer to do that. Is there something else that could be done to size the icons to what I want them to be?

Win 8 Tablet - Increase Size Of Taskbar Icons

Jul 25, 2013

I'm working with an HP ElitePad, a 10" Win 8 tablet with no mouse/keyboard. One of the pieces of software I'm working with is only accessable via right-clicking (press and hold) its icon in the taskbar and selecting to launch it.

The issue I'm having is that the icons are very small and I need to get this working for an end user who would endlessly be missing it.

How to increase the size of the icons? All I can find so far is the checkmark in the options to make them smaller.

Windows 8 Explorer - Folder Size Feature?

Dec 26, 2012

It was very upsetting in case of Windows 7 the system explorer was unable to retrive folder size information. It was possible to preview file size in detail view but not folder size.

How is this feature in case of Winodws 8 explorer. Is the appropriate hook exposed in API or is it still missing as it was in case of Winodws 7?

Windows 8 Partition - Drive Letter Visible In Explorer But No Size Or Contents

Sep 22, 2014

My windows 8 partition is inaccessible. Win 8 won't boot, even after attempted repair and running chkdsk.

This all happened after an automatic update.

I booted to another drive. Windows explorer shows the bad partition letter but no size or contents. Other partitions on the same drive are ok.

I also can see the bad drive contents from a cmd prompt.

Explorer Showing Icons Instead Of Thumbnails?

Dec 7, 2012

I have checked in the only two places I was aware of that would cause this:

Folder Options - View ....however, there is no option there to check show Thumbnails. I believe this option should be there at the top, but it isnt.

I also went to Properties of My Computer, Advanced, Performance. It is checked there to show Thumbnails.

But for whatever reason, I only see icons when I should see thumbnails. And yes, I have changed the view to Medium, large, extra large.

Win 8.1 - Explorer Process Loses Icons And Functionality

Sep 15, 2014

I am running Win 8.1 upgraded from 8. Every now and then all the icons on my taskbar start to disappear and it loses all functionality I can not click the start menu button or right click the taskbar.

I have to restart the process to get them back which doesn't worry me that much as I have written a program that makes it 2 clicks to restart it.

My desktop icons are still fine and my desktop wallpaper slide show still works, also I don't see anything regarding this in my event logs.

Explorer Constantly Crashed Now Icons Are Incorrect

Jan 24, 2014

Basically my icons are fubar! :

More detail:

Current Setup/programs that affected this issue:
RDP
Stardock Fences 2
Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition

Basically I RDPed into my home PC, tried to play some Street Fighter 4. Things worked, all was happy, and the Gods rejoiced. Until I returned home. Upon trying to log into my PC the desktop showed only partially complete (by this I mean the icons were there but they were in the process of moving to the "fence"). Explorer gave me the wonderful wait symbol and I could not interact with my PC. Fast forward 10-15 minutes, still no change. CTRL-ALT-DELETE worked kind of: it opened up after a few moments/minutes. From there I rebooted thinking that would fix it. Nope.

Eventually I got into the cycle where the desktop would load, fences would load, explorer would lock up, I'd click my mouse, explorer would crash and restart. I uninstalled fences, everything worked... except the icons. Reinstalled fences, same problem as before, crashing and whatnot. Uninstalled it again. And that's where I'm at currently.

I've attached a couple images, the first one shows the current state of the icons. Some have their icons, some don't. All are valid shortcuts. I'm a bad person and I have actual programs on my desktop and even those have the generic white page icon.

The second screenshot shows the file in its directory, with properties and change icon. No matter how many times I do that, nothing will change.

I've spent a couple hours googling and my first thought was it was the icon cache so I decided to nuke it (I found some instructions on these sites with copy/paste commands, it was so easy even a cave man could do it).

So I'm currently frustrated beyond all belief at my PC on a night when I just wanted to come home, watch some movies and play a couple games after an annoying day at work. Instead I spent all evening trying to fix this problem and getting no where. Woe is me?

I should add without Fences (and I removed all my other customization stuff and nuked anything that integrated with the right click shell thingy which I can't remember what it's called) my machine is running nice and smoothly (so far) aside from the icons.

App Images On Desktop - Generic E For Explorer Icons

Sep 15, 2014

The icon images on the app screen are specific to the website they link to, but when I pin them to the Start menu, many of them become the generic "e" for explorer icons. They do retain the name of the website, which is okay, but if I change the size to "small", I am left with a bunch of similar-looking icons.

No Icons In Explorer And Right-click Hangs The Window

Sep 17, 2012

I use 8 Pro Build 9200. When I boot, everything is normal. Then, after a while, usually a dozen minutes, whenever I open a folder in Explorer, no file icons will be shown, whatever the file type : I only get a blank generic rectangle instead of the proprer icon.

When this happens, I can be totally sure that any right-clicking on a file or a folder will result in the windows hanging indefinately. The only way out of this is to end the task through Task Manager.

The layout and folder options become unavailable as well.

Debugging :: Windows 8 Explorer Hangs On Right-click - No Icons After

Nov 23, 2012

I have Windows 8 pro + WMC 64-Bit installed on a laptop .. I have noticed sometimes when I right-click a file it just hangs with the circle spinning forever - I have to terminate explorer.exe and restart it - when i do all icons are blank - after a couple of attempts all shortcuts and favourites normally in left panel are gone

rebooting fixes it for a while - I dunno why but ive a sneaky feeling SLEEP plays a part, (due to past experiences too in other windows os's) ive noticed it really seems too happen if the laptop has been too sleep, ive noticed in past that problems seem to occur when one uses sleep or hibernate, its like the system becomes unstable? - i could be wrong, just I use sleep cos the power button is gone.

Any Way To Make Text Larger Under ALL PROGRAMS?

Jan 20, 2014

Any way to make text larger under ALL PROGRAMS?

I am using Start8 which has no option for hits. I could try Classic Shell instead and get cascading list of All Programs which I may do for the heck of it.

But in the meantime, I wonder if I can somehow get larger text in All Programs? I have messed with various dpi and other settings.

Maintenance :: How To Create Windows 8.1 USB Recovery Drive On Flash Larger Than 32GB

Dec 6, 2013

Will there be issues if I try to create a Windows 8.1 USB Recovery Drive on a USB Flash Drive larger than 32GB? The Create a Recovery Drive actually formats the USB drive in FAT32 and makes it bootable. I plan to purchase a 64GB USB flash drive. Will the Recovery Drive Creator repartition the USB Flash Drive as a 32GB FAT32 partition? I tried the same on an external USB hard drive and it repartitioned the external hard drive as a 32GB FAT32 partition.

CR2 Files (RAW Photo Files From Canon) As Thumbnail Icons In Windows Explorer?

Sep 19, 2012

Microsoft's codec pack (Download: Microsoft Camera Codec Pack - Microsoft Download Center - Download Details) does not work for Windows 8.

Differences In Size For Same Data On Win 8 And 8.1

Nov 2, 2013

I have three external hard drives, 2 x 750GB USB3 Western Digital, and 1 x 1TB Western Digital Caviar Black spinner.

All three have identical data on them, right down to the last byte ... both for the size of data itself; and the size of data on disk.

This is true whether they are opened on Windows 8 or Windows 7 machine. Yet when I open all three of them simultaneously on the machine that had Windows 8, but now has Windows 8.1 ... while they all show the size of data, the size of data on disk is different for each one! Despite the fact that all three still show identical data on disk on Windows 7. Or even on Windows 8 if I reinstall it on the machine which 8.1 is installed on.

It is important because having the data on disk the same confirms they are exactly identical.

How To Undo The Custom Size From 500%

May 12, 2014

I increased the custom sizing to 500 and now I can't undo it, and I can't do anything at all actually. I do not have a system restore point either, my Windows 8 doesn't let me for some reason... this is a serious glitch I cannot believe there is nothing to prevent this.

I did have a system restore, got to it by holding Shift when selecting restart. I was nervous about using it but it said none of my documents would be erased so I guess it worked out. Microsoft owes me a tablet!!! Seriously though, quit making new products until you can actually build one that works properly.

Windows 8 ISO File Size

Increasing Corner Gestures Size?

Jan 31, 2014

I'm running an old touch screen in a mobile environment. And while I see great benefit to using Windows 8.1, I'm having issues with getting it to cooperate with my older LCD touch screen. If I could increase the size of the corner gesture, it would solve most my problems.

I've already increased the MouseCornerClipLength in the registry to 20, which is the max this will go. My screen just doesn't like the small tolerance Microsoft has given to bring up these gestures. I can cheat the calibration to make it work, but then it throws off the whole screen.

Screen Size Randomly Changes When Tapped?

I can go through my computer and set the screen size to 100 % but if I am tapping while on the net it changes dramatically and I don't know how to control the overall size. It seems my upgrade to 8.1 has created more problems
