Exclude Folders from showing in Windows Explorer Search Results

When using Windows 7 Explorer search function, both folders and files are displayed in the results.  I need to have a way to see only the files/documents not the folders.  I still want the files in subfolders to be included, I just don't need
to see the folder name appear in the list as this makes the results much to long.  Is there any way to do this?

That's quick :)

Just add a minus sign, that's it..

  • Share folders not showing at Windows Explorer

    I have setup 8 shared folders and 4 users. Mix password protected and not. It will disappear if I use the users Tab to assign user to a specific share folder. Will only be able to fix the problem when I switch on and off the public access then that shared folder will appear. Problem I need to do this for the rest of the shares which is a nightmate and will lost the setting for user. So end up with 1 folder share and 1 user.

    Hi there, Sorry for hijacking someone else's post, but I have been badly suffering from an issue with my WD MyBook World II drive which we are using in our network with version 01.02.14 with MioNet 4.3.1.13 built on Thu Feb 9 14:11:48 CST 2012. The problem is that when I am trying to get access on the share folder on WD from my windows 7 professional(2 PCs), on both the PCs I am not able to get into the shares, it just stucks overther and when I look for the logs under WD system Logs, its saying:read_data: read failure for 4 bytes to client 192.168.110.151. Error = Connection reset by peer.read_data: read failure for 4 bytes to client 192.168.110.101.

  • New folder is not visible inside my project but shows in Windows Explorer.

    I created a new folder under another folder.  The new folder is not visible inside my project but shows in Windows Explorer.  Also, if I try to add another folder of that same name, it denies the action since the folder (although invisible) already exists.  My co-worker can access the same file (on a share drive) and see the new folder just fine.  This error occurs whether I was the one creating the new folder or she is the one creating the new folder.  I am new to RoboHelp and she has used it for years.  I suspect something is not yet set up right on my side.  Ideas? (I thought I posted this yesterday but I can't find it anywhere)

    Hi there
    What version of RoboHelp are you using?
    Did you create the folder from inside RoboHelp or did you create it using Windows Explorer?
    Cheers... Rick

  • "Show in Windows Explorer" option for song not working

    I have the latest verson of iTunes 11.0.1 but have had this problem for awhile
    Whenever I want to delete a song from iTunes, I usually delete the file as well. To do this, I'll right-click on the song & select "Show in Windows Explorer". However, the majority of the time I get the error message saying:
    "Location is not available
    C:\....\....\My Music is not accessible.
    Access is denied."
    Every once & awhile it will work fine though & send me to the song in the Music folder. Any idea how to fix this?

    A system restore fixed the problem.
    I'm guessing the problem was caused by installing and uninstalling replacements (file browers) for Windows Explorer. Even though they were uninstalled and Explorer was running fine, iTunes had this problem.

  • Windows Explorer Search problems for PDF's - Windows 7 - Acrobat 10.x and 11.x

    Hello,
    If this is in the wrong forum please move it.
    I work in an enterprise environment and our systems are having trouble searching file contents in Windows Explorer using Acrobat X and Windows 7 32 bit. The files are on a mapped network location.
    After removing all adobe products from a test machine and reinstalling the Acrobat 10.0.0 software the windows explorer search function seems to work locally but once I install Acrobat 10.1.anything update, it will fail. It never worked on a networked location.
    I have also tried installing Adobe Acrobat 11.0.00 after removing 10.0. Then I made sure my indexing settings were setup to index files and contents and made sure the .pdf extension was selected under file types.
    I then created a mapped drive to the network location, and setup my indexing to the folder on that network drive. I was able to do this by installing this Microsoft Add-in that allows use of UNC paths in the indexing.
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=3383
    Once I set this up, I rebuilt my index and restarted the computer. This is where it gets weird. I can now search the contents of PDF files in this indexed network location, but only by one letter. Searching "c type:pdf" will produce results, but "co type:pdf" will not. I know for sure some of the documents have the work Comment in there so this should should up.
    Does anyone have experience getting this to work correctly with the latest versions of Adobe Acrobat X or XI and Windows 7 32 bit? It would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    I am surprised you got a search of contents to work in Win7. MS changed the process and I have not seen a fix as there was with XP. The search engine of Win7 was designed only to search MS documents and other designated documents from MS. For Win7, the solution is typically to use a third party search engine. I had to use a 3rd party program when I was searching the content of non-MS files. An additional issue with a PDF is that it is a binary file and you may not find text or such, particularly if encryption is set.

  • Trying to import photos from iPhone 5, windows explorer present many icons of local disks which cannot be deleted

    Trying to import photos from iPhone 5, windows explorer present many icons of local disks which cannot be deleted
    for some reason there are many folders in the iPhone for pictures

    I have been having the same issues with my devices (iphone4s & Ipad and Ipad mini) NOT importing photos to my PC via windows 7. Too be honest, i am sick and tired of looking for a fix. I have spent days on this and now realise via forums that this issue is widespread. (deja vu - remember notes vanishing?)
    I have tripled checked everything but the platform just simply does not work.
    So, i will get offered various 'hunches' as to how to fix this...but hold on..after paying over £1,000 for the equipment why should i have to go find a fix...basically ...yet again...Apple products not delivering what they promise and are flawed. Gather im pretty p**sed about this...you betya...will i buy Apple again...?? take a guess.

  • New Workaround: Nano's showing in Windows Explorer but not iTunes

    Just tried it, since I've tried everything else so I thought I would share with everyone else.
    I had a Nano that would not be detected in iTunes 7, but it would show in Windows Explorer as a Removable Drive.
    1. Disconnect iPod, close iTunes 7.
    2. Access Windows Task Manager --> (CTRLALTDEL)
    3. End "iPodService.exe" Process
    4. Reconnect iPod via USB
    5. Restart iTunes.
    What I found was that when iTunes opens it restarts the Ipod service and will detect the unit in iTunes.
    You may have to do this everytime you want to hook up your iPod until a fix comes.
    But hey it works.
    P4 3.0 Windows XP Pro
    P4 3.0   Windows XP Pro  

    Check to see if the Nano is enable for disk use. If it is, disable it. For whatever reason ITunes gives me problems when I leave both my iPod enable for disk use. Only one of them appears. When I Unchecked the disk use, the problem has gone away.

    I want to transfer my photos from the PC (windows explorer) to my Ipad. The problem is that a keep my photos in different categories and they are in one large folder and several subfolders (2 or 3 levels of subfolders).When I sent it to the Ipad, it just respect the first level of folder. After the first subfolder, all the photos are mixed. Any idea how to keep my original organization just transferring from PC to the Ipad (folder having a subfolder also having another subfolder)?
    Thanks
    Diogo

    The Photos app doesn't currently support subfolders, it only has the one level of folder/album. You will either need to change your folder structure on your computer to be just one level, see if there is a third-party photo app in the store that copes with subfolders, or just make do. You can try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • Can't exclude folders from Time Machine backups

    I am trying to exclude Folders from backups to preserve space.
    Go into Time Machine preferences and Options - I can select + to Exclude Folders, and select a Folder, but on then selecting to Exclude nothing gets returned to the "Exclude these items from backups" form.
    Help!

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Mails are stored on ~/Library/Mail, being ~ your user folder. As you are running Snow Leopard, it's easy to exclude your mails from your Time Machine backup.
    Open System Preferences > Time Machine > Options, and add ~/Library/Mail to excluded items, so the next backup won't include mails. Note that you have to go to your user folder, in order to access to this directory

  • Show page correct - store search results incorrect

    Hi. I submitted my feed:
    http://www.tomrbaynham.com/feed/podcast/
    Received the iTunes show page:
    http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=337486702
    The show page has the correct details - Podcast image, "The Investigative Author" and description etc.
    When I search for my show in iTunes, the search results display the old information when I initially submitted the feed: Default Wordpress image, original blog title "The First Time Author". If I select the show, it shows the page with the correct, updated information.
    How can I get the search page to update? It seems bizzare that the search is incorrect when the actual show page is up-to-date.
    Any help is much appreciated!

    I'm afraid I can't answer that - I'm not privy to the exact method by which the various parts of the Store work. If you feed is behaving entirely correctly in the Store page then there isn't anything you can do except wait and hope it will eventually correct itself: you could ask Support -
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/podcast/
    but I'm afraid you will probably only get a form answer which likely won't address the problem.

  • Can't open INDD files from Bridge or Windows Explorer

    I upgraded from CS2 to CS4 in Jan 2009, but didn't uninstall CS2 until yesterday because the program file sizes seemed weird: CS4 was listed as less than 6Mb in the Add/Remove Programs list, while CS2 was shown to be many times that size (gigabytes?). I called support within the first month and was told it would be okay to uninstall CS2, but the tech could not explain the difference in program sizes, so I left it in place until yesterday. Now, neither Bridge nor Windows Explorer recognizes InDesign files. I can still launch the program from the Start menu and Desktop shortcut, and I can open files from within the program. But Bridge says the default  for opening an INDD file is Acrobat...or Photoshop, Firefox or IE. Windows says the same. The INDD icon is no longer displayed in Windows Explorer either. It seems to have vanished from my system. I have tried to re-associate InDesign files with the program through Windows Explorer numerous times to no avail. Operating System: Windows XP Professional on a Dell GX270.
    Is the only solution here to uninstall & reinstall InDesign? Any comments or suggestions are appreciated.

    Hi,
    I'm having the same problem, with two exceptions:
    1. A previous version of InDesign has never been installed on this PC before we got CS4.
    2. It tries to open the files in Acrobat (7.0), and then this message pops up:
    Acrobat could not open "....INDD" because it is either not a supported file type or because it has been damaged...  To create a PDF document go to the ...
    This is incredibly frustrating.  The only way I can open files is to go through the InDesign "open file" command inside the program.  I cannot open any Bridge files at all (same problem, opens in Acrobat).
    I cannot chose the file type from the file association list as it does not show up on the list no matter how many times I search and choose it from my drive to associate.
    ... Is this a registry problem, maybe?

  • RIFF Metadata not showing in Windows Explorer

    Hi -
    I've been testing CS6 for inputting Metadata into the RIFF and BWF headers, and then opening them up in Audition 3.0.1 to see if the mapping is the same, or, if any fields are missing across products.
    One thing I've discovered is that when I add metadata in CS6 and save the file, the file information (from the RIFF fields) does not display in Windows Explorer.
    However, if I open the same file in Audition 3.0.1, the metadata is there, and if I re-save the file in Audition with a different name, the metadata does display in Windows Explorer.
    Is this a bug, or, am I doing something wrong in CS6?
    Thanks!
    Allison

    ensure you have some image in your "Camera Roll". Take a picture then plug it back. if still didn't show use your "Scanner and Camera Wizad".

  • Embedded Album Art not Displaying Showing in Windows Explorer

    Trying To Clean up my Music Collection using windows explorer.  Embedding album art works fine for MP3's yet it is not replacing the (film/file/musicnote/baloon/) icon for Mpeg4 - M4A files. 
    What annoying is that the embedded art may be present but I can't tell just by looking at the individual files.  how can I get confirmation outside of loading up itunes?
    is it possible for me to get the embedded art to display in place of the file icon in windows explorer for these file types?  if so, how?

    It only happens wih some files, and I can't seem to find out what the correlation is.
    If I take a series of mp3s where the album art cannot be displayed in iTunes but can in MediaMonkey or, extract the album art from the the tag through MediaMonkey (iTunes artwork fetching usually gives me poor results), and then assign the album art through iTunes, yes the album art does appear to be saved and displayed through iTunes.  But that's a process.
    Additionally, if I reassign the artwork in MediaMonkey (not readding it, just reapplying the assignment to all selected items) the artwork will show up in iTunes.
    I'm going to play around with Mp3Tag and see if that yields anything.
