"Open with explore" option

Hello Friends,
I am selecting a file from a library, then I go to "LIBRARY" ribbon, then to "Open with explorer"
A folder was supposed to open with all the documents that I have on that library, so that can drag and drop wherever I want. Buy instead the folder that opens is empty.
can you please suggest me, what can I do to correct this.
Many thanks.
Prajwal

Via the item drop down menu, under the title column, look for an option that's labelled "compliance details"

In SharePoint 2010 Document Library "Open with Explorer" Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer

Hi.
I am getting below error "Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer" while click "Open with Explorer" option in document library.
My system is client machine which is 32 Bit system and
Web Client service is also running and Window 7 PC.
Other SharePoint sites "Open with Explorer" option in document library is working fine but specific site is giving error.
Even it was working fine but not is giving this error.
Please help me on it. Its making frustrations.
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you got “Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer” error.
Did you enable the both authentication (Windows and FBA) on default zone.
As far as I remember when FBA is enabled on the same zone when Windows is used, it breaks whole client integration.
So it will be better if you will recheck your architecture and will use different zones for Windows and FBA.
There is also another thing to try: use claims based authentication with authentication provider which will work both with Windows and FBA.
What’s more, you can also check with below steps.
Use compatibility mode to check whether it works.
Open IE->Tools->Compatibility View Settings
Add the site into Trusted sites to check whether it works..
Open the IE->Internet Options->Security->Sites->add the site into the Websites, then check whether it works.
In addition, you can also try to enable Basic authentication on the client computer, by setting the BasicAuthLevel registry entry of the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters
For detailed steps, visit the following KB page.

Document Library "Open Window Explorer" option is disable in FireFox

Hi,
I am opening my SharePoint Site in FireFox and tried to open Document Library in "Open with Explorer" option but i could not open it.
It is disabled mode. But i could open in "Internet Explorer".
How could i resolve it?
Thanks
Poomani Sankaran

Hello Poomani,
AFAIK Explorer View wont work in FireFox because FireFox doesnt do ActiveX and Sharepoint has few ActiveX Components. You will have to use IE for that.

"Open with Explorer" no longer works with IE 10 & 11 without 32-bit -- What alternative do we have?

I know that if we open SPS 2010 in IE 10 & IE 11 in 64-bit O/S, "Open with Explorer" no longer works because this function requires 32-bit version of IE.
I give up to find a way to open IE 10 in 32-bit -- I had tried several so-called solutions but none works for me. So, I'm looking for an alternative: is there an URL that I can put in
Windows Explorer's address bar to open the SharePoint page directly?
I had tried http://mysps/somefolder/etc/ failed!
I had tried \\mysps\DavWWWRoot failed again!
So, I would like to hear to those who have succeeded to use "Open with Explorer" with IE 10 or 11 installed in 64-bit O/S.

Hi Horinius,
According to your description, my understanding is that "Open with Explorer" didn’t work with IE 10 & 11 in SharePoint 2010.
I commend you use IE 10 or 11 32-bit rather than 64-bit. Then check whether the browser SharePoint add-ons are enabled. If not, please enable them.
You can check browser add-ons by opening IE->Tools->Programs->Manage add-ons-> check all add-ons related to SharePoint, such as SharePoint OpenDocuments Class. If there is not any add-on related to SharePoint, please repair your Office by clicking
Control Panel->Programs and Features-> select your Office, and right-click it, then select ‘Change’.
Please make sure that webClient service is running on your machine by opening Start->Administrative Tools->Services.

Guitar21,
your MacBook Pro has booted into its Recovery mode. From the OS X Utilities menu, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it get to the login screen now?

Event handler - open with explorer issue

hi all,
I have developed an event handler (itemadded syncronuos) for a library. i need to populate title field
public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
base.ItemAdded(properties);
properties.ListItem["Title"] = "some value"
properties.ListItem.SystemUpdate();
I have deployed the same feature to 2 environments -> Dev Env, Test Env.
when I copy and paste a pdf file with "Open with explorer" in Dev Env it works fine.
when I do the same in Test Env i can't copy the file and i get this error:
Error 0x80070057: the parameter is incorrect.
I see this in my Event Viewer
The description for Event ID 14901 from source WebClient cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
Could you help me?
Thanks.

On your local machine you are as you on the server, are you try it on the test server or browsing the test environment from local machine and doing the copy from local machine. also i hope your event handler is not firing on all the list, just make
sure. You can try this in a different library..create a fresh library and see what happen without event handler.

Issue with "Open with Explorer" feature

Hello
Since the middle of last week, our users are experiencing some strange issues with the feature "Open with Explorer".
This feature is normally working perfectly, but from time to time, the users are receiving the error message when clicking on the button: "We´re having a problem opening this location in File Explorer. Add this web site to your Trusted Sites list and
try again.".
In all those computers, the SharePoint site is already in Trusted Sites list or in Local Intranet list. Moreover, just closing Internet Explorer and reopening it fix the issue.
Do you know what could be the reason of such a strange behavior?
Thanks in advance
Best regards
Yann

Make sure you are not running into the following scenario.
SPS13
"Open with Explorer" random error "We're having a problem opening this location in File Explorer. Add this web site to your Trusted Sites list and try again"
I quote directly from the above blog post but make sure you read the entire blog post.
The cause and the resolution methods are the following:
Cause: There is a missing Root site collection...
Resolution:
Check and ensure, that the “Managed Paths”
are not changed
in the web Application’s page, there is a (root) explicit for
this web application and there is a working Root site collection.

ORA-10827: database must be opened with MIGRATE option

Hi,
We are trying to migrate an Oracle 8.1.7 database to an Oracle 9i(9.2) database. I moved all the database files to the appr folder and I created a new instance using:
oradim -new -sid PROD -intpwd Oracle -startmode a -pfile C:\oracle\OraDb\Neuropace\initPROD.ORA.
I checked the alter log file and I get the following error:
ORA-10827: database must be opened with MIGRATE option.
How should one go about migrating a database(different versions). I went ahead with the migration. I opened the database using
alter database open resetlogs migrate.
But when i log into the database, I get an internal code error.
Any pointers?.

You must not open normally your database after an upgrade, in short the method is
1) startup migrate
2) run the upgrade script (which one depends on your old database version)
For step-by-step instructions see
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96530/upgrade.htm#1009200
'alter database open resetlogs migrate' is only applicable to upgrades from version 7 to 9.2, hopefully your database is not corrupted now.

Large size file could not copy from "Open with explorer" in SharePoint.

Hi,
I have uploaded around "120 mb" file in Document Library. I was trying to copy that file from "Open with explorer" to my local system. I am getting "disk Space error".
Should i specify any size at any where in "Central Admin".
Thanks & Regards
Poomani Sankaran

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
1. Click Start,
click Run, type regedit,
and then click OK.
2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters
3. In the right pane, right-click the FileSizeLimitInBytes value,
and then click Modify.
(If
FileSizeLimitInBytes does not exist then right-click the blank space in the right pane, click New, click DWORD
Value, type FileSizeLimitInBytes,
and then click OK)
4. Click on Decimal,
and type 4294967295 and click OK. Note The
default value for the file size limit is 50000000 bytes.
5. Quit Registry Editor. Restart the computer.
CAUSE
This issue occurs because a security change that was introduced in Windows XP SP2 affects the Web Distributed Authoring
and Versioning (WebDAV) redirector. This security change makes sure that an unauthorized server cannot force a client computer into a denial of service attack. If you try to download a file that is larger than 50000000 bytes, the client computer interprets
this download as a denial of service attack. Therefore, the download process stops.
IMPORTANT
This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might
occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how
to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base
How to back up and restore the registry in Windows

Playing dvds with vlc ... no right-click and 'open with vlc' option???

i searched discussions for this question but wasn't sucessful ... so here's my question:
i use a toshiba pc laptop and an iMac G5 ... in order to watch dvds (with different region codes) on my PC, I use VLC with great success ... I wanted to do the same on my iMac, but came across the following problem:
when I want to watch a DVD on the laptop, i simply right-click the title and go for 'open with VLC' (which gives me the menu and so on) ... when I try to do this on the iMac, however, there is no
'open with VLC' option when I right-click the DVD ... I can open single chapters of the DVD by opening the single .vob files, but I'm not happy with doing that ...
any ideas how to make watching DVDs with VLC on my iMac as easy as it is on my laptop?
thanx for your help!
