Right panel in Windows Explorer

Good afternoon,
What I've to do late in this afternoon is displaying a hierarchy of icons. They have to be portrayed like the icons for folders in the right panel in Windows Explorer. In Visual Basic the ListView component is the work horse that does this exactly.
JListView | JTable | JPanel
Is the java component JListView reliable? Or can I better use a JTable component? Or ImageIcon within JLabel (or JButton's) within a JPanel within a JScrollPane like suggested in Dec. 2002 on this forum?
JTable: http://www.fawcette.com/javapro/2003_01/magazine/features/bkurniawan/
JPanel: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=57&messageID=1357444&threadID=331621
Thank you!

Right pane
A JTree I would use for the left pane, I want to know how to set up a set of icons in the right pane.
An abstract tree
Now, while I'm on this forum... What's the best way to set up an abstract tree?
1.) I have defined TreeElement with the attribute 'children' (a vector that does contain more TreeElement objects). But, maybe there is some custom way to do it.
2.) Is it smart to use JTree and keeping it invisible? Can I use the iterator() interface in that case? Do I have to implement that myself or what does it prefer to iterate first: siblings or children (width or depth)?
3.) TreeModel seems to be a binary tree, that's not what I need.
XML
Do you have good advice with coupling such a tree to a xml document for data storage? I saw already some third party (JAXB)

Windows Explorer doesn't preview Reader XI while it did read Acrobat CS6, why?

Because I need Adobe to remember more than 10 pdf files I switched from Acrobat CS6 (purchased) to Reader XI (Free) as my default program to open pdf files. One thing that became apparent immediately is this: Before, with Acrobat, I would be able to see a preview on the right pane of Windows Explorer. Now with Reader XI nothing shows. Why is this? Is it possible to get a preview with XI, if so how?
My OS: Win 7 home prem 64
Thank you

Hey Pintree3,
Yes its possible with Reader XI to get a preview of the pdf file in windows explorer.
First thing first, Make sure you have preview pane enabled in Windows Explorer.
Secondly i would recommend you to Open your Reader and go to File 'Open' menu by pressing 'F2' and then in Open window dialog box, Enable the preview pane, Disable it and re-enable the preview pane; now close the reader and now look for pdf preview in windows explorer. It should work fine.
Please let me know if this works for you.

Windows Explorer (File Utility) Slows When Selecting a QuickTime File

Windows Explorer (the file utility, not the browser) slows and sometimes crashes whenever the right pane of Windows Explorer points at a QuickTime file. CPU activity increases substantially, with the process WLXQuickTimeControlHost.exe consuming over half of the CPU.
I tried uninstalling QuickTime and the problem disappears (but of course now I have no way of playing QuickTime files). I reinstalled the latest version of QuickTime (7.5) and the problem returned. I also have QuickTime Pro.
Anyone else see this behavior? Any troubleshooting ideas? I have McAfee Virus/Spyware/Firewall protection and the system appears clean.

The villan was Windows Live Photo Gallery which contains WLXQuickTimeControlHost.exe.
Removal of Windows Live Photo Gallery solved the problem.

Install Portable Firefox 3.6.x to your hard drive for that one website. It won't affect your current Firefox installation at all. <br />

Print from Windows Explorer Right Click (Adobe Reader X, WinXP)

When I right click on a batch of PDF files in Windows Exploer (WinXP) and click "Print" Reader used to print them all to

Subject: Print from Windows Explorer Right Click (Adobe Reader X, WinXP)
I am also getting exactly the same problem, highlighting multiple pdf files right clicking and choosing "print" prints the first document, fails to close the adobe x window and sits there patiently untill it's manualy closed and then the next document prints - repeat - loop.
Have this happening on just about every windows xp machine in the office that I try it on and any and all versions of "Adobe X" that I care to install.
would love a fix for this, reinstalling 9 manually on every PC would waste a day of my life.

Firefox crashed 2 days ago and will now not open, and won't uninstall via Control panel add/remove programs; the files are still there on Windows Explorer. IE8 still works.

My PC is a fujitsuscaleo 600, last year I had a new hard drive and some extra RAM fitted and since then has been good - have used, and updated Firefox for over 6 years. in August I installed TrendMicro antivirus and for different reasons this has been uninstalled/re-installed twice. AFter letting it expire, I re-installed ParetoLogic PC health advisor (I think in August too)and allowed it to try updating some graphics drivers following a scan - this was unsuccessful so I marked them to ignore (something about my graphics card not supporting the drivers downoladed). I can see the mozilla files on WIndow Explorer but if I click 'remove' (control panel, add/remove programs) I get a very short 'hourglass' then nothing; if I click Firefox icon I get the same. Help!

Windows Explorer Right Click - Open file in Air App

I have an AIR App that I made to run on my desktop. It is used for editing specifc XML files. I want to know if its possible to setup so that I can right click on an XML file while browsing Windows Explorer and choose an option to "Open in (my AIR App)" ... that would lauch my AIR app and also open the xml.
Right now, I have to launch my AIR app, click to open a file, and then browse for the file and select it.

ok so after all of this time, i stumbled upon something that should solve my problem. i created a new AIR file in flash and put a text field on the stage with the name "my_txt" then I just added this bit of script (below) .... then once I installed the air app, i opened a file into the app and the path to the file was displayed in the text box thats on the stage. now i just have to use this path to actually open the file.
import flash.events.InvokeEvent;
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(InvokeEvent.INVOKE, invoked);
function invoked(evt:InvokeEvent):void{
my_txt.text = String(evt.arguments[0]);

Windows explorer and Administrative rights

Hello,
I'm looking for a way to make windows start on an other program than desktop. Is there a way to customize the windows explorer so my program would replace the desktop without affecting the explorer functionalities. I also want to know if there is a way to
give the User Access Control exceptions so a program doesn't need to wait for the user to click 'yes' on the uac prompt to run.
Thanks.

well, in my opinion, it's maybe but almost impossible to achieve this goals. Windows Explorer is a Shell when system enabled GUI mode. That's belongs to Windows kernal design and programmer have no rights to access.
Actually, there is only one condition we don't need Windows Explorer: boot Windows into CMD mode.
On the other hand, even if there was method to do this, Microosft doesn't support this behavior, because in case a program pretend itself to be Windows Explorer, the current system user profile information was probably stole by Criminals.

Windows explorer crashes whenever I right-click mouse on any file.

I have installed iTunes 8.02 with QuickTime 7.5.5 in Windows Vista for my iPhone 3G. However, windows explorer crashes and restarts automatically whenever I try to bring up the context menu by right-clicking my mouse on any file, or I press the button "DEL" on my keyboard.
This problem is gone if I un-install QuickTime 7.5.5. However, iTunes 8.0.2 cannot run without QuickTime.
Any solution for this ridiculous issue? Please help!

Hello,
You are correct. It was right where you said it should be. For some reason doing a search does not find it. Anyway, here it is. Thanks.

To unpack an llb in Windows Explorer, right-click and choose from "Unpack" options (like WinZip...)

Greetings,
To unpack an LLB in Windows Explorer, it would be convenient to right-click on the LLB and have an option to Unpack to current directory. WinZip does this (for .zip files) via "Extract" options.
Then again, people may prefer using the "LLB Manager"(?)

Windows explorer stopped working when trying to open a specific folder...and solution

I have had a problem with a specific folder or two on my computer, when I open the folder I get the error message that windows explorer has stopped working. It only happens with specific folders and everything else works fine.
I did a lot of reading to figure out a fix.
I finally tried right clicking the program explorer.exe located in C:Windows and chose "run as administrator" and this fixed the problem.
Note that the error message details list an application crash of windows.exe
I thought I would post this to help others. I don't know if this is the same problem some folks describe with a continual loop of the error message, problems opening the control panel or problems upon start up. But if you have a similar problem to the one I described try this very simple fix.
Cheers

I don't know what OS you are running, but under Windows 7 RC build 7100 the selection was ghosted to "run as administrator".
I was able to stop the problem from happening by right clicking the folder I was having problems with, selecting properties>customize tab and changing the "Optimize this folder for:" from Videos to General Items.
I know that this particular folder was optimized for general items from the beginning as I had just folders inside which were filled with videos. When I started to move videos into this parent folder to separate them later, this parent folder switched by itself
to being optimized for Videos. I'm not positive but I think that this was the time I started to have a problem with this folder until I did what I described above.
This is my very first post, so I hope I explained things well enough to be of help to someone.
Thanks
That's fixed my problem. Stopped responding every time I opened My Videos, changed the file properties to optimized for general and now the icons aren't thumbnail big but it doesn't crash now... Thank you, it was really starting to bug me.

Windows Explorer is no longer responding

I help take care many computers (200+) at my place of work. We have a guy that makes our Clones that we install on to the computers for us. Every so often, we get people that have issues with Window Explorer not responding. One fix that was found to
help with this was to take a copy of explorer.exe file from the windows folder to the system32 folder and send a copy of that to the desktop. From there we open it and repin it to the task bar after the old one has been unpinned. From time to time we get some
people that this will not work for and we have just gone and recloned the computer. We install all the basic hardware drivers and run windows update. Yes we do use policies on all users and computers. We have had a few computers that start doing this right
after all of the updates are done and we went ahead and started over. Then everything seems to be fine. Lately, there has been a few computers that we have done this to fix the issue have started doing it again. With reading may different things online on
possible ways to fix this, it has only worked on a couple. Still having some that these fixes are not working. List of what we have tried goes like this:
Disable the Preview Pane in Windows Explorer and see if it helps. To disable the Preview Pane, click Organize > Layout > Preview Pane.
Disable Thumbnails and see if this stops the problem. To do so, open Folder Options > View tab > Check Always show Icons, never thumbnail. Also remove
the check for the option to Display file icon on thumbnails. Click Apply/OK
Updated Outdated or corrupt video drivers can cause Windows Explorer to stop working. Update your drivers and see if it helps.
Recloned Computer and only have Drivers and updates installed.
Few things we can’t really do is the;
Check Disk (seems this is even happening on brand new computers).
Installed Add-ons.
Check if you have installed any helpers or add-ons to your explorer. Uninstall or disable them. Often, even 3rd-party shell extensions can cause Explorer to crash on particular actions. Several programs add items to the right-click context menu. (users can
not install anything without admin rights and we do not use addons in windows explorer).
System Restore – This is disabled.
Disable DEP or NoExecute Protection (this for many reasons)
Run sfc /scannow and at the end reboot if the system file checker asks for it. The System File Checker will on reboot, replace corrupt system files, if any are found. (We don’t use a DVD for the installs or to build the clones)
Wercon – Not available on our systems.
Start up programs – With policies in place, and what little is installed on the computers, there is nothing else starting up with the system other then Virus Scanner. And this problems can and has started before we can even get the virus scanner installed
onto the computer.
Run the Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool to check for possible memory problems, including testing of
the Random Access Memory (RAM) on your computer (this happens even on new computers till I reclone the computer and its fine)
These fixes I am talking about are found http://www.thewindowsclub.com/windows-explorer-crashes-freezes
This has started to get more and more in the last month with some of the Window updates that have been coming out. We are lost on what else to do to these computers. We are running Windows 7 Pro with SP1 and any and all updates possible with our policies.
Running Internet Explorer 9 (this is our standard for not all websites that are used are not supporting any newer versions). 4GB+ on memory. HP Compaq 8000 CMT or newer computers (most computers we have are the HP 8300 CMT). These computers are on contract
to us with HP.
We have no idea what else to do to fix these issues. Not all of the people that this happens to wants to have the computer recloned when it may or may not fix the problem and it takes them so long to just setup the computer to their liking. That also means
the profiles are not all roaming. 90% of the users have a local profile. Please help with this issue. Any suggestions will be tested to see if they work. Thank you ahead of time for your help and time.

After over 2 months dealing with this issue, I have now found a fix that seems to be working for now. I have done it on a few computers and seem to working just fine. We had a way here that we used to fix this. It was to take the Explorer.exe file from the
windows folder and add it to the system32 folder (copy and paste it). Then right click on that file in the system32 folder and send to desktop (or you can just send a shortcut to the desktop right from the windows folder also works). Unpin the current one
from the taskbar. Open the new shortcut on the desktop and pin it back to your taskbar. This seems to work on some computers. Not all of them. For the next step, you do need to have this done though. Go to your control panel - Administrator tools - scroll
all the way down to Services (you will need admin rights to do this) and run the program. Scroll down to Windows Search and double click it. You will want to stop the service and change the startup type to Disabled. This seems to work without restarting the
computer but it is a good idea to do this anyway. There seems to be an issue on some computers with the indexing causing it to not respond. I’m not saying this is the problem with all of them. If you read the other post, you can see there
are other options to try also. Some issues are also .dll files. In this area here are almost all of the possible fixes to this issue. Hope it will help others out. Good luck
PS. Sure hope Microsoft will fix this issue for good some day. But I dont think that will happen.

Boot Camp: Seagate External Drive not Recognized in Windows Explorer -- PLEASE HELP!

I'm running in Boot Camp and using a Seagate Free Agent GoFlex external drive as both a Time Machine backup on the Mac OS, as well as a storage unit to exchange files. However, whenever I plug my external drive into my computer while running Windows, it does not show up in the Computer tab under "Devices With Removable Storage", like it should. It does show up on the "Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media" button in the bottom right hand corner, and it appears as a "Startup Disk" in the Boot Camp Control Panel, so I know that it isn't a cable or USB input issue. Please help me get it to appear as a Device in the Windows Explorer. I need to exchange files from my Mac OS to my Windows OS. Thank you in advance for the help.

I did it but i could not install tool from the dvd. As i said, i can still boot up windows xp i just needs to re-install the service tool.
The drivers are working properly.
