Open with window explorer option is not showing in IE11 Browser.

Hi,
I am using SharePoint 2007 application and I am having full access for the site. I opened the application in IE11 browser but the option "Open with windows explorer" is not showing.
I added the site in trusted sites and compatibility views but there is no luck.
Kindly help me anyone on this.
Thanks,

If you're using the 32-bit version and still having issues, you may need to repair or reinstall Office so that the underlying Office DLLs (on which those browser features rely) are clean.

You might be using 64-bit Internet Explorer. Switching to 32-bit IE caused the featured to become enabled. There was absolutely no indication in the application that this could possible be the cause. It was a shot in the dark.
Mind: blown.
The Plan Browser Support article on TechNet lists the supported browsers and limitations in "non- or partially supported browsers".
It states the following among the limitations for 64bit IE 7, 8 and 9:

Open With Windows Explorer very slow

I am trying to troubleshoot an issue where some users of our SharePoint environment have problems using the open with windows explorer option in a document library.
For some users this works fine... the explorer opens quickly and they can manage the documents.
For other users it takes up to 5 minutes before the explorer view opens. During this time the browser becomes completly unresponsive.
As part of the troubleshooting process I tried taking the UNC path that is shown in the explorer view and tried using the Start -> Run and then entering in the path. This seems to cause the complete desktop to freeze until the explorer window displays.
This is occuring on Windows XP SP Pro SP2 with both IE6 and IE7. The desktops are on the same domain as the SharePoint servers.
Any thoughts on next steps?

I had similar issues with WSS 3 and MOSS 2007. Some users would experience slow load times when using IE8.
A. The authentication fix for Microsoft included the following:
In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Services > WebClient > Parameters, add a new Multi-String Value named "AuthForwardServerList".
In the Value data field, add one URL you visit, following by the SharePoint server FQDN on the next line. Repeat for each URL you are having long wait times for. In the end, you'll have something like:
https://*.yourdomain.com
sharepointservername.yourdomain.com
https://otherspsite.yourdomain.com
otherspservername.yourdomain.com
The idea behind this is to explicitly tell WebDAV where to first go for authentication. This cleared up the majority of access speed issues with SP and we were back to sub-second access.
B. Occasionally that access would degrade for some reason for certain users. Turns out to be MS updates that make changes to IE settings. We go to IE Options > Advanced Settings tab and hit RESET. Whatever RESET does fixed the speed
issues with Explorer View.
C. Users who installed IE9 had major problems where access would take more than one minute to access these document libraries via Explorer View. And that's one minute for every navigation click. Double-click on a folder, wait a minute.
IE9 must have changed the authentication methodology for WebDAV since this was universally experienced for all IE9 users. MS couldn't provide a resolution on this. Our fix was to remove the IE9 update and revert back to IE8. Everything
went back to normal without having to make any changes to the Registry or IE settings. Doh!

Unwanted Firefox entry in the Open With Windows Explorer menu

Open Windows Explorer and right-click various file types. You'll see there's a submenu called "Open with" that allows you to choose a particular application. Firefox is listed for numerous file types it can't actually handle, like RAR and MKV.
Does anyone know why? I've never attempted to open those file types with Firefox, though I did download such files with Firefox. I can't find any bug reports about this, and the above seems like too little information to file a report.
I'm not the only one with this issue:
* http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=2870531

After cleaning the registry manually, I haven't been able to trigger this.
* I now have RAR under Options → Applications again after downloading a file of that type. The respective file type doesn't have Firefox under the "Open with" menu in Windows Explorer.
* I set Firefox as the default browser when installing. Then I set Internet Explorer as the default using the Control Panel, then Firefox again when prompted at startup. Since it's one of the few times Firefox interacts with the registry, I thought it might trigger the issue — it didn't.
Since I can't recreate this, I think we can consider it a rare occurrence and forget about it. Thank you all for replying.

That's the bug report about Firefox inadvertently stealing the file association for PDFs. That didn't happen on my system. I also don't see how this could be related. The PDF association is set on install, and reinstalling Firefox didn't change the "Open with" list for the previously affected file types.
Then again, the patch on bug 1049521 touches the ''OpenWithList'' registry keys, which is what I manually cleaned up. It also handles more than PDFs: I spotted media file types like OG? and WEBM, but not MKV or any of the previously affected file types on my system.

ZIPs close instantly when "Open with Windows Explorer" is selected

If I download a ZIP file and tell Firefox to open the file in Explorer when it completes, the file will sometimes close by itself after a variable length of time (usually less than a second, sometimes as long as two or three). The problem does not occur if I select a different program e.g. 7zip, or if I save it to Downloads and open it manually. Navigating to /AppData/Local/temp/ reveals that the ZIP is still there and can be opened normally even after it seems to disappear.

Make sure that your anti-virus software isn't locking this ZIP file or is interfering otherwise in a way that Windows Explorer doesn't like.
Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

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.
I am looking for a suite method :)

Open with window

When I click on "open with" to get more information on a file,how do I change the application that I use to open that file?Why are some applications listed grayed out,while other applications can be chosen?

Error: Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer.

I have enabled both authentication (Windows and FBA) on default zone, now when I want to open any document library on windows explorer it showing me an error.
Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer.
Web client service is running on server.
Desktop Experience feature is also enabled on server
Windows explorer is working fine when FBA is disbled on default zone.
Need both authentcation on default zone.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you got “Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer” error.
You can use compatibility mode to check whether it works.
Open IE->Tools->Compatibility View Settings
You can also add the site into Trusted sites.
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

Your Client Does not Support Opening this list with Windows Explorer on Windows Server 2012 R2

I am trying to open a document library in Internet Explorer 11 on a Windows 2012 R2 server and I am receiving Your Client Does not Support Opening this list with Windows Explorer

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to open a document library with the Internet Explorer 11 on a Windows 2012 R2 server. But you received the following error message: Your client
does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer.
There can be multiple reasons for it.
So, I recommend you can check with the following steps:
Go to the “Server Manager” of “Administrative Tools” > Enable the “Desktop Experience” feature in your environment.
Go to the “Services” of “Administrative Tools” >
Ensure the “WebClient” service is started.
Ensure that your computer has supported Web browser.
Ensure that Internet Explorer is configured correctly to add
https://*.sharepoint.com to Local intranet site in the “Security Tab” of “Internet Options”.
Ensure that
you have applied the latest updates on the system.

Your client does not support opening this list with windows explorer - related to multiple uploads?

Hi folks -
I've read through some threads regarding "Your client does not support opening this list with windows explorer" and it seems a lot of folks have a lot of solutions throughout the forum posts. Is there anything official or semi-official regarding
this?
I've tried a lot of the fixes including:
checking to see if the WebClient service is on
modifying so-and-so registry (I've since changed them back since they seem to have no effect)
and changing various settings in Internet Options including making sure the site is in the Local intranet zone.
I could live without this functionality but just recently my upload-multiple-files functionality in SharePoint 2010 has also gone away (red x instead of directory UI). I wonder if it's related somehow and could give us a clue.
If it helps I'm using various browsers but of the IE flavor 8 and 9 32-bit as the base for testing this.

For SharePoint 2013 (so could apply to 2010 as well), my problem was that I was trying to "Open with Explorer"
something that probably can't be opened with Explorer. In my case, I just wanted to open my team's Shared Documents with Explorer. I found that when I first log into SharePoint and view the page, I'm presented with those Shared Documents, but also other things
as well.
To get "Open with Explorer" to work, I must click "Shared Documents" under the Libraries heading on
the left. Then, all the other stuff (Links, Getting Started, etc.) go away and I'm focused on my team's shared documents. From there, I can go up to the Library Tools section in the ribbon, choose the Library tab in the ribbon, and click Open with Explorer.
Works like a champ on Windows 7 64-bit, running IE 9 32-bit.
Unfortunately that's not what was going on in my case. One obvious way to check is to see if other people or other computers can Open with Explorer. In my case it was just this one machine on my desk that had the issue.

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.

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

Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer

I can't open windows explorer view in one of web application, but other web applications are working well on windows explorer view in our client PCs.
our associates are working on Windows 7 64bit Enterprise, but we only use IE8 32bit to browse intranet and internet. (I know the issue of IE 64bit on this problem)
The dedicated MOSS2007 WFE server is Windows 2008R2+IIS7.5 and Desktop experience+Webclient service been started and dedicated MOSS DB server with SQL2005SP4.
The strenge thing is why only one of web applications are not able to be opened by Windows Explorer view, but others are working well.
I compared all setups/parameters what I can do with other web applications, I didn't find any differences in IIS of Win2k8R2.
Can anybody help on this case? or you have similar cases are able to share with me, whatever it is working or not, or just a clew that I can refer to chase this issue.
Or is there any issue or exiting bugs on MOSS2007 that we were not informed before?
thanks!

Check if there is any other firewall of network device which is causing t his issue:

Explorer View - Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer MOSS 2007 '

We recently had a major deployement, after which Explorer View started giving error message.
Before deployement, all was working fine.
Error: Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer
Webclient service is already enabled.
The site has been added to trusted site lists.
All Active-x controls have been enabled.

Microsoft Office 32 bit is also installed.
Thanx in advance.

You could try updating the following registry key on a client PC as a test: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Paramenters\AuthForwardServerList to include the URL of your sharpoint site. Add the root site and it might enable this functionality.

IE 11 - Sharepoint open in windows explorer not working

In my IE 11 - Sharepoint open in windows explorer don't work.
It appear always error message "Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer"
Already installed FIX ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2846960)
Restart laptop
Then Sign in to the SharePoint Online site with Keep me signed in option
But still dont work.
This happens in all libraries. This issue happens in our corporate intranet. I had this issue in another laptops but with the Microsoft FIX and following all that steps, it solved.
But for whatever reason now i have 2 machines that even after applying the same Fix and steps still continues not working.

Hi,
From your description, my understanding is that you cannot use “open with explorer” in 2 machines in your farm.
If you have installed Desktop Experience feature in your environment, please add your SharePoint Server(http://spserver) to Local intranet site with steps below:
Open “Internet Options” menu.
Click “Security” tab.
Click Sites.
Click Advance.
Enter your SharePoint Server, click Add.
Close and apply.
Restart your browser, and test your issue.
