Opening windows explorer window
I would like to create a link that will open a windows
explorer window when the user clicks it, so they can view files
that are on the CD (much like the "Explore CD" button that is on
the front of installation CD's). Can anyone provide that lingo?
Thanks in advance...
on mouseUp me
open "explorer c:\"
end
You can of course change out the c:\ with whatever path you
want to open.

When I have iTunes open and I connect my iPod to my Windows PC, a separate Windows Explorer (or "My Computer") window pops open showing the folders on my iPod. The drive letter is in the title bar of the window, like any other Windows Explorer window. This is no big deal; I just close the window. But it seems to have started suddenly. I don't remember this happening when I previously connected my iPod.
Is there some way to prevent the window from opening when I connect the iPod?
Thanks,

Windows Explorer window opens on use of iPod
Hello folks, my problem is this:
Anytime I do anything with my brand new Shuffle (2nd Gen) in iTunes, a windows explorer window opens - Shuffle (E:) - and sits there waiting for me to do something with it. It contains no songs even though the shuffle itself is full, its just an empty window... I just close it straight away, but its a major pain in the bum.
This is hugely annoying. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

IOS 6.1.3 / Windows 7 - 64 bit. I am connecting my IPhone 4 to my Windows desktop, in ITunes I click on IPhone and then the "Check for Update" tab. It takes me to a Windows explorer window. How do I get it to find updates?
Hello ibebry
Try using the Software Update on your iPhone by going to Settings > General > Software Update. One thing to keep in mind if you are trying it on the computer is to make sure that you are not pressing any keys down when checking for updates as that may bring up a pop up window to find the update file.
Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Please send some advice if you have any ideas of how to solve this issue.
The info that is shown about my computer is not accurate. The machine with the problems below is running 64 bit Vista but I cannot access a site like this one due to the constraints listed below.
I fell for what I thought was a Firefox update but since installing it, when entering a URL, I am redirected back to original computer log in / password entry box. If I use my browser window drop down list I can get into something like Facebook and move around but as soon as I try to type any letter into a 'comment' box, I am redirected to both a Windows Explorer type page showing my various drives and another Window from my Start/Run with the dialog box open with cmd entered in it already. Certain typed letters don't show up at all when trying to enter a 'comment' on Facebook while various letters get various different responses. It is impossible to enter any URL or use my browser other than the items in my drop down. Once there, say to my bank account, I cannot enter any password as I am immediately redirected to someplace else upon trying to type a letter or character. I don't know how to get my browser working. I have tried IE as well and the same thing happens. All started after the supposed upgrade of Firefox. Your help would be appreciated.

I have created a button (via Content Editor) that uses JavaScript to open the Attachments folder of a list item in the Explorer Window in SharePoint 2010. The purpose is to have drag and drop functionality for each list item, having multiple attachments.
The button works but opens the "Attachments" folder containing all of the other folders for each list item (one folder per item). It seems that when you add an attachment to a list item, SharePoint numbers the folder based on the item's ID. What
I'm trying to do is take the JavaScript I have and have it run when a button is clicked in a custom form. When it runs, I'm trying to get it to open the "specific" folder for the list item. I have had success creating a hyperlink in the list that
does this; however, the link WILL NOT work until I use the Content Editor created button that runs JavaScript, that prompts me to click OK to my profile certificate, and then opens the Attachment folder. After that occurs, I can use my hyperlinks without issue
because I'm no longer prompted to click OK for my cert.
So I'm trying to take the JavaScript I have and place it in a list item form (custom form) and have it run when a form button is clicked. The problem is I have very little knowledge of JavaScript (did I mention little?) and
"don't know how to take the "http:" address I have in the script and append to it the list item ID, according to the record I have open."
So that for any record I open, the script will grab the corresponding record ID (or list item ID) and append it.
Here's the script I'm working with (which I didn't create but am grateful for):
<style>
.httpFolder {behavior:url(#default#httpFolder);}
</style>
<script text = "javascript">
function fnOpenFolderView(){
oDAV.navigateFrame("https://server/collection/site/subsite/Lists/Sublist/Attachments","_self");
</script>
<div id = "oDAV" class = "httpFolder"/>
<input type = "button" value = "Open Attachment Folder" onclick = "fnOpenFolderView()"/>
The above script, in the Content Editor, creates a button that opens the Attachments folder for the corresponding SharePoint list.
JackSki123Hello Thriggle,
Thank you for pointing that out. I appended your "GetUrlKeyValue" to the end and it worked. That said, I noticed it doesn't run as smoothly as when I simply click on the Content Editor button I created that resides on the SharePoint List
ASPX page (not the form). The Content Editor button has the same code, minus the "GetUrlKeyValue". I click it; I get prompted to choose my cert; it opens right up.
Now go to the ASPX Display form where I dump the code in a table cell. Button appears in cell; I click it; wait; wait; I get prompted for cert; it opens. Do I need some sort of "throttle" for the JavaScript? For instance, I thought before running
JavaScript, you reference the library first. This code doesn't do that. I'm wondering if there's something more I need to make this run smoothly. Thank you both for getting me this far.

How can I enable Windows Explorer to open LabView LLB files? I am running LabView 8.2.1 on Windows 7 64 bit. The option “Enable Windows Explorer for LLB Files” in Tools/Options/Environment is unchecked and grayed out.
LabVIEW until 7.1 came with a shell extension that could display the content of an LLB in an explorer window.
That was removed in LabVIEW 8.x for a number of reasons.
- Shell extensions are pretty badly documented, tricky to implement right, and of very limited use since only Windows Explorer and a few explorer replacements can use them. It doesn't add any functionality for most other programs in Windows, since the shell extension are a Windows Explorer thing, and not a Windows core technology.
- With 8.x NI decided that LLBs were pretty old fashioned and their main feature of supporting file names longer than the DOS 8.3 naming was pretty much obsoleted by then, while they didn't allow for more than one level of directory hierarchy. So they decided to depreciate LLBs and declared them a legacy technology that should not be used for new development anymore.
- For the uupcoming 64 bit version of Windows a new shell extension would have been required to allow Explorer to use it.
For all these reasons the LLB shell extension was removed from the LabVIEW installation to further discourage the use of LLBs.
If you have a LabVIEW 7.0 or 7.1 installation on your computer and run 32 Bit Windows you can enable the shell extension in the LabVIEW Options dialog.

Opening a finder/windows explorer window from an AIR application?
I'm evaluating AIR right now and going through as much
documentation as I can find. Is there a way to open up an OS file
browsing window? For instance, after writing a file to an arbitrary
directory, could you open that director (preferably with the file
selected) in OS X's Finder or Windows Explorer? Obviously this is
possible in a native application (Lightroom does it, among others),
but I can't figure out if it's possible with an AIR
application.Take a look at:

External harddrive won't show in windows explorer Windows 7
I have an interesting problem or so I think it's interesting. I have a n HP Pavilion DV6-7001ax, Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit just turned a year old. My problem is I had a 1tb western digital My Book Essential it's alos about a year old. Two days ago for some reason It stop showing up in windows explorer. I tried everything I know to get it to come back but no luck. I thought the drive was dead, however I hook the drive up to my wife's desktop and after it installed the drivers it works just fine, she's using Window 7 Ultimate x64. I tried it in my daughters laptop, she has a HP Pavilion also model under mine, the drive works just fine she's using windows 8 64bit and I have another laptop wich has Window 7 Home Premium 32bit and the external drive works just fine on it. So I tried and tried and tried but it won't work. My wife and daughter both have a 1tb seagate external drive and both work just fine on my laptop. Note: I've plugged in several different USB devices and they all work except my WD external drive. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Seriously FrustratedAntonBC57,
Turn off the computer.
As you turn it back on tap the F10 key. This will load BIOS setup utility.
Press F9 to load defaults.
Press F10 to save and exit.
When the computer boots back up, check to see if everything is working.
Open up command prompt and run the following command SFC /scannow.
This will scan the system files and correct any errors that it can.
Here is a link to command prompt.
When you go to open command prompt, right click and run as administrator.
Since it has not been to long since the problem started, you can run a system restore.
This will take the system back to when everything was working correctly without affecting your personal files.
Here is a link on how to do a restore.
Let me know how everything goes
Have a good day. -
Play mp3 files from windows explorer window
From time to time, I would like to select multiple mp3 files while within Windows Explorer, and play them...
But, if I press ENTER, iTunes only plays one of the multiple files...if I right click on the files for options, selecting either PLAY or OPEN does nothing...
How can I get iTunes to PLAY multiple files selected from within Windows Explorer?
Newest version of XP pro sp2 and iTunes, etc...
ThanksMake sure you know the folder(s) where the MP3s reside. Depending on your setup, it might be "My Music." Then go into iTunes and use the command File > Add Folder to Library, and navigate it to the folder.

What is "Recycler" in Windows Explorer Window?
Cleaned up all duplicates in my music folder before loading iTunes 7-- updated library and the nice feature of show all duplicates revealed 899 duplicates. While some of the duplicates are merely duplicates of songs artists have on several of their albums, some duplicates took me to the Recycler folder in Windows Explorer, a new folder created in my music folder.
This Recycler folder reveals 1,796 files (almost 8 gigs of space!). What exactly is the Recycler??? All the files are labeled Dj####. Some are WMA files I think that were unable to convert to ACC format. I had no luck with the iTunes help file or a web search. Does iTunes pull from the Recycle Bin somehow the most recently discarded files??? Or, more the answer, these are those files, both converted and left as WMA, that iTunes processed and dumped here, almost like a temp files folder? At any rate, can I simply delete the Recycler??
This should be an easy answer-- thanks for your help!!!
Homebrew Windows XPRecycler is how Windows labels the folder used by the Windows Recycle Bin.

Thumbnail previews in Windows Explorer (Windows 7 64bit)
Is there a way to enable thumbnail previews under Windows Explorer for Acrobat X Pro? I just installed the trial and these are missing.
I know there was a bug in Acrobat 9 which required a third party hack to fix. I had hoped by now this would work correctly. Has this still not been fixed?
Thanks.Lol. Adobe has known about this stupid problem for about 4 years. Since Vista x64 started gaining popularity. Acrobat 8.x was the first version where people really started scratching their heads wondering why & when the problem would be fixed. Then came Acrobat 9. And now "X". Still not fixed, well, I'm sure next year we'll have Acrobat 11, so keep holding your breath.

I run windows XP on PC. A windows explorer style window popped up, urging me to update to Firefox 21. The window included a "more info" link and a "remind me later" and "install" button. I have never seen this style of notification before so clicked nothing and dismissed the window. Is this a legitimate firefox notification? If not, what have I been invaded by, and how do I proceed?
hello, it's hard to judge what was going on by description only - in case it does happen again, please try to create a [[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?|screenshot]] of the dialog in question and attach it to a reply in the forum here...
in any case, firefox 21 has been released last week and you should indeed update to the latest version. just go to ''firefox > help > about firefox'' in order to search for & apply the update.
