Altering the information box in windows explorer`

I was wondering if it was at all possible to alter the information box in windows explorer. I am talking about that little box that pops up when you place your pointer over a folder and let it sit there for a second. Currently it displays the first few files and folders, but I want to alter that so it would display the first 10 or 15 files or folders. Can anyone help with this?

New Camera RAW in Photoshop CC 2014 won't open multiple Panasonic RAW (.rw2) at the same time from Windows Explorer.

New Camera RAW in Photoshop CC 2014 won't open multiple Panasonic RAW (.rw2) at the same time from Windows Explorer. If I select 2 raw files and click "Open" Camera RAW will only open 1 raw, then when I click "Done" it will close and open the second, sequentially. Previous Photoshop CC and RAW worked fine, it would open mulitple RAW at the same time. How do I fix this?

If it worked for you that way previously there isn't much to comment about. I just tried opening multiple images from Windows Explorer with Photoshop CS6 and Camera Raw 8.6, and the first image would open and when I clicked cancel then the second image would open. But if I wanted multiple images opened in Camera Raw to work on them simultaneously it was necessary for me to open them from Bridge. I just did it as an experiment because I normally use Lightroom. Anyway, IF it was a feature at one time to work as you described, it doesn't seem to be that way now.

Use the command "Properties" in Windows Explorer to unlock the file

I'm getting this error where, when I start Photoshop, I get a popup saying "Cannot load Photoshop because the file is locked or you don't have the needed privileges.. Use the command "Properties" in Windows Explorer to unlock the file". I unlocked it's access to everyone for the 64-bit and the 32-bit version, still doesn't work. The only way to make it work is by going in Program Files>Adobe>Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64-bit) and manually starting it as an administrator.
Everything was working just fine until today. Please help!

If this worked before, and you have made no hardware or software changes you might want to reset the preferences.
Start photoshop and IMMEDIATELY hold down the Alt + Ctrl + shift keys. It is a little tricky but keep trying until you get a reset window.

It would appear under the organizer tab that the photos are organised in the lowest folder in the folder structure within Windows Explorer. How can I use the Windows Explorer structure to organise the photos within Elements.

In a situation such as yours, I tend to consolidate items into folders so I have folders of nice workable numbers of images, somewhere between 20 and 200 images. Now, whatever, once you've imported, do your moving within LR, not the OS! I will select all in a folder and drag into a folder a level or two or three above, and then delete the newly empty subfolders. I hope this helps a bit!
Once you've reached just new Imports of camera output, you'll be flying along.

Accessing the Recycle Bin via Windows Explorer

I run a no-icon desktop and have noticed in the RC that I can not seem to access the Recycle Bin via Windows Explorer as has previously been the case. Thus making it, in my experience so far, impossible to empty the Recycle Bin without turning on Desktop Icons to do it, and then turning them off again when finished.
I have found a work-around that is quite simple to setup, add a Favourates Shortcut to Windows Explorer, but I wondering with there is a setting somewhere now that needs activating/deactivating to have Windows Explorer show the Recycle Bin as one the the items in the Navigation Panel under Computer?

When the Recycle Bin is visible on the Desktop, left-click and drag the icon image to the TaskBar near the Start button. If you have Aero, you'll see a message "Pin to Windows Explorer".
Then open Windows Explorer and you'll see the Recycle Bin on the DeskTop from the left column.
Now you can opt to not display the Desktop Icon. Contol Panel>Appearance and Personalization> Personalization and select >Change Desktop Icons>Uncheck Recycle Bin.
Work for you?
After doing the above, I then opened Windows Explorer, and used the organize tab. I then selected "the show all folders" option, selected ok. The Recycle Bin now appears in the left Navigation Pane and the Icon is not visble on the desktop. I believe it is because I pinned it to win explorer by dragging it to the taskbar that it appears there.

I remembered having this issue with OLAPQuery. Have you tried CubeQuery?

I can't use the search function in both the Start Menu and Windows Explorer.

This problem occurred yesterday when I uninstalled a program on my computer. Once the program was uninstalled, everything was fine until I tried to search for a file in my start menu search bar. When I attempt to search for something, nothing comes up. Not
even a single document or piece of text. Nothing.
In other posts I've seen addressing the same issue that I'm having, people try to search something and a selection of files come up, like "Programs", "Documents", etc., except for me, it's all blank.
In other threads people have suggested to delete certain subdirectories in regedit, but when I go into regedit, and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
folder, there is no FolderTypes folder for me to delete. It's simply not there.
I've pretty much tried every possible resolution under the sun, apart from completely re-installing Windows 7. Please help me fix this issue, because at this point I'm
lost.

Yes, sometimes, we can solve this issue by editing the registry entry you mentioned above, I have a suggestion, do you have a similar system or PC which is working fine? You can export this registry entry from that PC (which i sworking fine), then
import it to your problematic PC, please remember that incorrect change in registry will cause serious damage, so backup the registry first before editing.
After finishing editing the registry, restart PC. If doesn't work, open control panel\Indexing Options\Advanced, rebuild the index.

I have tried to download and install Firefox 3.16 (US version) on a XP system three times. The program installs normally but cannot be launched. Clicking on the shortcut or even on the firefox.exe in Windows Explorer does not launch the program.

I had a similar problem on a Windows 7 system, but there I succeeded after a second attempt. On the XP system I desinstalled the Firefox program before every new attempt. But no way. Firefox appears in the Program groups in System Information, so I suppose the program is normally installed. Intelliguard of PC Tools was temporarily disabled, so that is not the problem. Skype is version 5. Is there a registry problem?

I have tried it many times now. I get the alert that I should seriously upgrade, so being a dutiful Firefox and Mozilla user, I try. My iBook G4, several years old now, won't launch it.

I would like to use the windows explorer open dialog box instead of the adobe open dialog box. How can I change that?

I would like to use the windows explorer open dialog box instead of the adobe open dialog box. How can I change that?

The top screenshot is the Windows Open dialog box. All File > Open... commands in all Windows programs bring it up. Try File > Open in Notepad for example.
It belongs to Windows not Adobe. You cannot change this because there is no such thing as an Adobe Open dialog box.
The bottom screenshot is Windows Explorer. It is Windows' OS File Browser, not an Open dialog. It is not called up by Photoshop or any Windows program.
You have to click on "My Computer" or a Folder icon to get to it. You can double-click a psd, jpeg or other image file in the Explorer window so that it opens in Photoshop.
There is Adobe Bridge and Minibridge Alt + Ctrl + O or File > Browse in Bridge

Trying to open a sharepoint library in Windows Explorer via IE 8 results in the error "your client does not support opening this list with windows explorer"

I am attempting to connect to a Microsoft Sharepoint library, via the "Actions -> Open in Windows Explorer" option from the Sharepoint page. When I do so, I get the error message "your client does not support opening this list with windows explorer". In short, I am trying to get the "drag and drop" functionality of a Sharepoint library.
I am running Windows 7 64-bit and IE8. The target Sharepoint environment is a MOSS 2007 EE. My Windows "WebClient" service is running, and I have no problem connecting to this exact library via a Windows XP computer running IE8.

Verify that the Webclient is started automatically from the Services.msc
Verify that your Portal is in the Intranet local security zone (You can reach it from Your Internet Explorer Browser Security Tag) if not add it to the list
restart the WebClient service if it's work good
If not you have to create a network share to your portal URL directly not your documents library.
Open Windows Explorer or My Computer from the Windows Start Menu.
From the Tools menu, click Map Network Drive…. A new Map Network Drive window opens.
In the Map Network Drive window, choose an available drive letter from the dropdown list located next to the "Drive:" option. Any drives already mapped will have a shared folder name displayed inside the dropdown list, next to the drive letter.
Type the name of the folder to map wich is in this case your SharePoint Portal URL (Don't include the documents libraries)
Click the "Reconnect at login" checkbox if this network drive should be mapped permanently. Otherwise, this drive will un-map when the user logs out of this computer.
If the remote computer that contains the shared folder requires a different username and password to log in, click the "different user name" hyperlink to enter this information.
Click Finish.

Folder appears in Windows Explorer, but not in the Open File dialog

Hello,
I hope this is the right place to post this. If not, please let me know where is.
A friend just showed me a weird problem he is having with his computer. He is using Windows 7 pro, and has a folder under My Documents, in which he keeps his work files. He emails these files using Gmail, which he accesses via Internet Explorer.
All worked fine until a few days ago, when he noticed that when he clicked the link in Gmail to attach a file, his folder wasn't listed in the Open File dialog. He looked in Windows Explorer, and could see the folder OK. I tried opening Word and using the Open
File dialog there, and the folder wasn't visible.
If he clicks in the address bar, and adds the folder name to the path, it opens the folder, but shows it as empty. I actually has two subfolders. If he adds the name of a subfolder, then the Open File dialog shows the files in that folder.
I checked the permissions on the folder, and couldn't see anything odd. What I don't understand is how the folder can be visible in Windows Explorer, and not in the Open File dialog.
Anyone any ideas? Thanks

I can confirm - I'm having the exact same problem.
When I try to lookup or save a file from an IE file dialog some folders do not show up. I can type the folder name into the directory field and it then goes there, but this assumes you know the directory name and it's a PITB.
Firefox can browse to the directory directly.
It would be interesting if anyone else found a fix for this - I'll post here again if I find out more somewhere else, but there are not too many threads out there as far as I have found for now.
Found a solution over at answers at Microsoft dot com. (can post links here yet - will update once I can)
In short: There's a fast fix for this issue by resetting a hidden flag that IE sets for some folders. I believe this part of the "protected mode" feature, though I can't confirm and also have no idea how this would protect me from any intruders,
if only (unimportant) subfolders are protected ...
Anyway - if you know the name of the missing folder (e.g. from browsing the directories form windows explorer): in the parent directory that has the folder missing do a Search (in box at top right) for the missing
folder name. In my case the hidden folder shows up in the search - now right click -> Properties -> clear hidden flag. Note: this "hidden" flag is independent of the flags set in windows explorer - that's why you have trouble going there with IE and not
the file explorer from the desktop.

Why isn't ratings information set in lightroom showing up in windows explorer file properties?

I am using Lightroom 3.4 64 bit on Windows7 64 bit. When I apply keywords and set a rating in lightroom, only the keywords show up in the file properties in windows explorer, and FastStone viewer. The ratings information is not shown. Is this a known problem, or is there a way to fix it?

Hmm, are you remembering to do Metadata > Save Metadata To File after you change the rating in LR?
LR and Windows 7, Vista, and even XP (if you install Windows Live Photo Gallery) share metadata using industry-standard fields, and Windows' manipulation of the metadata is pretty robust. In particular, they'll share the rating via the metadata field XMP:Rating. I just verified this with LR 3.4 and Windows 7, but I'm pretty sure it also applies to earlier versions of LR 3:
1. In LR 3.4, change the rating of an image.
2. Metadata > Save Metadata To File
3. In Windows Explorer, right-click the image file and select Properties.
4. Observe the new rating on the Details tab.
5. Change the rating on the Details tab.
6. In LR, do Metadata > Read Metadata From File. Observe the new rating in LR.

Showing the music properties of .M4A files in Windows Explorer

Dear All,
You probably noticed that Windows Vista does not provide much information or integration for Apple's .m4a music files.
Would you like to see the music file properties for .m4a files in the columns and details pane of Windows Explorer? Would you like to see the Album Artwork in Windows Explorer? Would you like Windows to provide indexing and searching on your .m4a music files?
If so, then I have written a "Shell Extension" (add in) for Microsoft Windows Vista Explorer that does just that. See http://www.whitebear.ch/music for more details.

Yeah, I've heard that too, but I'm not buying that excuse:
It's not MicroSoft's responsibility for making someone's thumbnails work. MS provides the documentation (I assume) for developers to write code for a DLL to display thumbnails in Windows Explorer. It's up to the developer to do it.
Other software programs which use a proprietary image format do supply those DLLs. Three examples that I use on my PC are:
    a. Corel's CorelDraw and PhotoPaint install the appropriate shell DLLs to display their native files as thumbnails.
    b. Xara also provides a 64-bit DLL which, when manually registered, displays their native file format as thumbnails.
    c. The open-source Paint.Net group registers the DLL to display their native format as thumbnails.
God knows that those three, and especially the Paint.Net group, don't have the hundreds of millions of dollars and hundreds of developers that Adobe does, yet those three chose to do the right thing and provide what I consider to be an essential feature.
Apparently this has been going on for a long time -- certainly long enough for Adobe to write the darned code, if only Adobe had the will to do it.
PSE9 is the only Adobe product I currently have purchased and this issue just sticks in my craw. Other than that, I've got nothing but praise for the program.

I blog on TypePad using Word 2007 and documents freeze when I'm looking at them in Windows explorer; why do I get the error message that Mozilla is looking for a script?

I have now had two error messages - the first one looked for this script: Script: resource://gre/modules/XPCOMUtils.jsm:258. The second one (today) looked for Script: resource://gre/components/nsPrompter.js:68.
I have reset my word template, also reset word registry for data and options (as per Microsoft's help pages) for both those 'fixes' there was an initial improvement, but the problem happened again after I reposted on my blog today and then went to Windows explorer to view my files. It seems to 'seize' as I select a file, so that the preview does not appear (for up to 15-20mins).
I see on the internet using the second script as a search just now that one other has had a similar problem and one also since Mozilla 4 upgrade. My problems have also been pretty much since I upgraded.
It happens (apart from my fixes) every time I go to look at a word document via Windows explorer. Excel files are less affected.
One web suggestion is to clear the cache, but I am hesitant to lose all my passwords unless I have to.

I still have the problem although I uninstalled Mozilla (clearing the cache didn't work and neither did Word diagnostics), so have ended up thinking it could be Norton (the manual update worked x1) or Windows. Today I found an answer: disable the preview pane in Windows Explorer - there's a history of problems with this view.
