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.

Upload Multiple documents in SharePoint document Library not working

Hi All,
I have folder on my desktop which consists of nested folders and files(Total 11 files) .And when I select "Upload multiple files" option to upload documents and drag the folder from the desktop in pop-up window .
The sharepoint document library uploads only 1 file among all the nested folders from 11 files.Can any one help me how can I solve this
Thanks, Quality Communication Provides Quality Work. http://siddiq-sharepoint2010.blogspot.in/ Siddiqali Mohammad .

Hi,
I understand you encountered the issue when use "Upload Multiple Documents" to Drag Files and Folders to upload window.
When you say "The sharepoint document library uploads only 1 file among all the nested folders from 11 files", do you mean you have drag all files and folders to the window, while only 1 file is uploaded sucessfully? Or you cannot find all expected
folders and files?
Please manually open "Windows Explorer" to locate files and drag files from "Windows Explorer", instead of using the "Open window"
opened by "Browse for files instead" as below:

Events will not open with double click/double click not working.

Have just upgraded to iPhoto'11 and finding it a pain to use after previous iPhoto. Events will not open with double click (even though highlighted in yellow) and photos will not open with double click or videos play. How can we fix this please?

That sounds very like an issue with your mouse/trackpad and not iPhoto. Go to your SystemPreferences and chck the speed you've set for double clicking

"Open with" / Get Info / Change All not working

10.4.9 -- I want to open all PHP files with Gvim.
a) Gvim doesn't show in the "Open With" Applications list, I need to browse to find it.
b) When doing this from Get Info with the intent of "Change All" I select the "Open with" to "gvim.app" and select "Change All..." but the "Open With" selection reverts to TextEdit after answering "Continue"
c) This change stuck once, about a week ago, for a few days. But now it's back to TextEdit.
Am wondering where the resource can be found so I can hack this myself, for good.

I picked up "OnyX" and the associated "Maintenance" utilities. "Maintenance" has a tool to reset the LaunchServices database, and that seems to have allowed the association to stick.
http://www.titanium.free.fr
OnyX even has a formatting utility for the UN*X "Man" pages!
Tom_X -- now that's a cool feature, it restores some controls in a handy spot lost long ago... It didn't show php files in the list, so I added it and it shows gvim.app as associated already.

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.

"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.

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

Requirements for "Open with Explorer" to work

What Roles and Features are required on the WFE servers? What ports need to be open? and what are the client requirements for "Open in Explorer" to work in SharePoint 2013.
Please note, this is a loaded question. I ask, because it works on our QA environment, but not on Production, and while I am not entirely keen on implementing it, I have been asked to. From what I have read, it would appear that it should not work at all
in our environment, so I am not sure if I am more concerned that it runs in QA or that it does not run on Production.
Any ideas would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
John

Hi John,
I understand you need to make "Open with Explorer" work in SharePoint 2013.
Please verify the following and test on your SharePoint server:
1.Desktop Experience feature is installed.
2.Restart WebClient service.
3.Brower IE 8 or later is in 32-bit.
If not, please refer to the article below and restart your computer, then test the issue again.

Add new document link not working in upgraded sharepoint 2013?

Hello there,
Upgraded SharePoint team sites from 2010 to 2013. add new document link not working for shared document in upgraded sharepoint 2013?. it is specially not working on machine where Office web apps set up with this sharePoint server and it
is working fine with environment Office web apps not configured with Sharepoint.
Looking resoluion /suggestion, thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sushil

Hi Sushil,
According to your description, my understanding is that the add new document link was not working on machine where Office web apps set up with this SharePoint server after you upgraded SharePoint team sites
from 2010 to 2013.
For your issue, it can be caused by integrating Office Web Apps with upgraded SharePoint Site.
Firstly please make sure claims-based authentication is used by the SharePoint web application that is used to create the new document. Only web applications that use claims-based authentication can open
files in Office Web Apps. To determine the authentication provider for a web application, follow these steps:
1.In SharePoint 2013 Central Administration, click Manage web applications.
2.Select the web application that you want to check, and click Authentication Providers on the ribbon.
The authentication provider must be displayed as Claims Based Authentication for Office Web Apps to work correctly with the web application. To resolve this issue, you can delete the web application and recreate
it using claims-based authentication, or you can change the authentication method of the web application.
Secondly, make sure the WOPI zones match on the SharePoint 2013 and the Office Web Apps Server farm.
To do this, run the following command on the SharePoint Server:
Get-SPWopiZone
The result will be one of the following:.
internal-https
internal-http
external-https
external-http
Next, run the following command on the SharePoint Server.
Get-SPWOPIBinding
In the output, look for WopiZone: zone. If the results from Get-SPWopiZone don’t match the zone that is returned by Get-SPWOPIBinding, run the Set-SPWOPIZone -Zone cmdlet on the SharePoint Server to change
the WOPI zone to match the result from Get-SPWOPIBinding.
If not work, you can try to disconnect SharePoint 2013 from Office Web Apps Server and re-configure Office Web Apps for SharePoint 2013.

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.

Open with Explorer Crashes IE

I have two separate environments where if you click the "Open with Explorer" option in a document library IE crashes.
This happens with IE 10.0.9200.16750.

In Internet Explorer, click Settings.
Click Internet Options.
Select the Connections tab.
Click LAN Settings.
Uncheck Automatically detect settings.

Downloaded Firefox 4.0, get server error 404 & can't access Yahoo mail. It opens with Explorer & on desktop with Mozilla 3

Downloaded Firefox 4.0, to Dell Lat D630 on 4/9/11
Get server error 404 & can't access Yahoo mail.
It opens with Explorer & on networked desktop with Mozilla 3.6
tried all fixes suggested by Support @ Customer Service
No resolution to the access problem today 4/21/11. Do I reinstall 3.6 & delete 4.0? I understand this access problem is common to 4.0 users.

I did some additional testing through Proxy 4. All web sites and web pages including secure sites that I tried accessing over the past couple of days all appear to work fine with the exception of the forementioned sites. Access to these specific web pages (which I cannot currently access) are part of our day-to-day business requirements, and therefore will prevent me from using Proxy version 4.0 as our production proxy unless I can figure out why these web pages won't load, and how to fix the problem.
As an experiment, I tried to access these web pages through Proxy 4 with Mozilla FireFox and Netscape 7. None of these web browsers (including Internet Explorer) will bring up these web pages when going through Proxy 4. But bypassing the proxy or going through our v3.6 proxy works fine for these web pages everytime, and with all browsers. This leads me to believe that this web page access problem is not a browser specific problem, but something in Proxy 4 isn't processing the request to display the page properly.
As a reference, the web site in question is http://www.sunlife.ca. On the left hand side of the page go to "Sign In" then "Plan Members". Thats where the request hangs through Proxy 4 no matter which browser I use, including Netscape... but works perfectly fine with Proxy v3.6.
Can someone who is running a version 4 Proxy also please try to access the SunLife Members login page and see if it works or fails for you?
Thanks
