T500 with Win7 difficulty opening files/fold​ers

I have brand new T500 with Win7, and I have difficulty opening files/folders.  They do not open with double-click or single-click (I have various times gone to Control Panel/Files and Folders option), but I have ro right-click to get a window with the open at the top --this is cumbersome and I think a problem with Win7.  I would greatly appreciate help on this, das is driving me crazy... thanks,
Eugenio
Moderator note; edited subject for reflect content

I was able to get the 1-click work in opening files/folders... however, double-click does not work even when making changes in the Control Panel.  I look forward to any suggestions.  Is this a bug in Win7...?

  • HT2433 My laptop opened with a grey flashing file folder with a question mark inside it .  How to to open my laptop!  I have tried fir e clising several times and restArting  nope nada!

    My laptop opened with a grey flashing file folder with a question mark inside it .  How do  I open my laptop!  I have tried force closing several times and restArting  nope !  nada!  Suggestions?

    That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the Operating System data on the hard drive is somehow corrupted.
    With 10.4, 10.5 or 10.6 put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    Or if you are running 10.7 Lion, 10.8 Mountain Lion or 10.9 Mavericks, boot from the recovery partition (Command +R on boot) and use Disk Utility to repair your OS 10.7, 10.8 or 10.9 partition.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
    If it is, then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions. After repairing use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for restarting from your hard drive.
    If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

  • Cannot open file folder in download window. when RT click "open containing folder" it is not highlighted.

    Recently when I try to access my folders in my Download window I cannot access them. I tried right clicking to open "open containing folder" but it is not highlighted.
    Any suggestions...Thanks

    Hi ,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you could not edit documents with Office client application in SharePoint 2010.
    Let’s do a troubleshooting about this issue:
    1. Make sure that you have installed Office application on your machine.
    2. Which explorer did you use for your SharePoint. Please test it with IE 10 32-bit, compare the result.
    3. Please try to reset IE, compare the result.
    4. Add your SharePoint site into Trusted site on your IE options.
    5. Make sure all add-ons related to SharePoint are enable, special for SharePoint OpenDocument Class and SharePointOpenXMLDocuments.
    6. Since you used OWA for your SharePoint site, please try to disable OWA, then open documents with client application, compare the result.
    I hope this helps.
    Thanks,
    Wendy

  • Changing mouse click default to "open" (file/folder)

    My logitech mouse button1 defaults to "search" instead of "open' when I left click. i don't want to have to rt click first, then select "open". I want mouse default to be "open". any suggestions?

    Hi,
    I have just had the same problem, but fixed it!
    All I did was go to any folder, Tools, Folder Options, File Types and find "File Folder" in the list
    Then go to Advanced and select New
    Add one for Action - Open and add an application of Explorer.exe
    This sorted it!
    Hope this helps you

  • Dreamweaver CC opening files very slow iMac with Fusion drive

    I am working on a small website based off on Bootstrap 3. Now that I am almost done with the project opening files take a few seconds to open them (in code view). I have tried the various fixes like resolveremoteurltoipaddress=FALSE but still the files load very slow. On my Windows Machine it loads very fast and that machine is 4 years old. The iMac I am using at work is the latest version with decked out specs and only Dreamweaver CC and Edge Code have very slow opening of files. Creating new documents inside Dreamweaver CC is fast. Is there a way to make Dreamweaver open files faster? How to make it load faster, open documents faster, especially in code view. My initial thought is maybe its because I am linking to a few JS library like TypeKit and jQuery but I have not experience these problems on my Windows PC. Any help would be appreciated.

  • Unable to open files such as jpegs in photoshop

    Hi all,
    I am currently having difficulty opening files such as jpegs/photographs in adobe photoshop cs3. I have newly switched my adobe suite from one computer to my new computer. I have a guess that it may be to do with this or file directorys. I believe this because I am having trouble accessing files for contact sheets and need to always put my files on my destop to use them and such problems as this.
    The message I am recieveing is “Could not complete your request because its not the right kind of document.”
    Inclosed screen shot.
    Thanks,

    I am opening up my pictures with a USB port on PMB picture motion browser. The files are then saved to my pictures. I am then copy and pasting my pictures in a folder to my documents in my uni work  folder. Then I am right clicking on the photo file and trying to open it in Photoshop.
    The raw plug in is about the compatibility of my camera. I unable to use this because my camera is incompatible. The plug in is what sorts the problem out with other cameras. The link to that is http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/327/327437.html
    I have already downloaded the pictures, it not that that is the problem. The files are incompatible with Photoshop,
    Thanks,

  • AS2 error The FILE send adapter cannot open file

    I have AS2 setup under biztalk. I have receive port which listen to HTTP adapter and keep listening on web site.Then there is corresponding send port which just write that file in folder . Send port just have filter for Receive adapter name.
    It works fine, but some time I get error message 
    The FILE send adapter cannot open file <folder name\guid.txt > for writing.
     Details: The system cannot find the path specified.
    I am not able to understand what is error for this? Please help me to figure-out this. 

    Specifying the Backup transport is not going to solve the problem. Specifying the backup transport in this case is something like addressing the symptom of the issue and not finding the solution to root cause of the issue.
    As you specified, if the mentioned error only happens some time but not always. In this case, the message "The
    FILE send adapter cannot open file <folder name\guid.txt > for writing." would just be a warning message. Just by setting the retry in the send port will solve the issue. i..e Since this issue occurs rarely, it may be short lived glitch.
    So by setting the retry count (lets say 3 times) with retry interval (let say 5 mins), this issue can be easily mitigated. You would not lose the message. So during the glitch you would get this message as warning, send port will retry "after specified
    retry interval so after 5 mins", so by that time chances of files transfer is high. So this problem can be easily handled just by having retry count and retry interval in send port.
    But you need to find the actual cause for this issue or you need to find the permanent resolution for this issue.
    If this answers your question please mark it accordingly. If this post is helpful, please vote as helpful by clicking the upward arrow mark next to my reply.

  • Broken aliases in "All My Files" folder?

    Hi,
    Recently, I've encountered an annoying problem with the "All My Files" Folder. Whenever I open a file, say, in pages and save it, it creates a new alias in the folder. After I delete a file from my computer, it stays there and ends up being a broken alias that I can do nothing about.
    Does anybody know how I can fix this? It happens for all types of files (images, videos, PDF files, documents) and it's getting really annoying.
    Thanks.

    I found this post from samurai cc and it worked!
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3238831?start=0&tstart=0
    Had the exact same problem with 5 files. I managed to get rid of these unwanted files by:
    - having the finder window viewed and seeing the unwanted file
    - opened up Spotlight and typed the file names of each of the files.
    For some odd reason whilst typing the name of the files in Spotlight the file dissappeared from All My Files in Finder.
    Hope this helps you guys.

  • Why is my Illustrator cs6 not opening files.

    I'm having a issue with Illustrator not opening files (eps or ai) either from the server or my desktop, opening original from Indesign, double clicking a file or from the menu 'open file'. I have to end up quitting Illustrator, then open the file from one of the methods above. Same days it all works fine then other days it doesn't. Quite confusing.
    I've uninstall then reinstall Illustrator previously and it seemed to work fine for a while then it started doing it again.
    And I've tried finding the info on the forums for Illustrator. If its there please point me to the right place.
    Illustrator CS6
    Mac running OS X 10.9

    Please let me know if if more information is required.

    Aaron,
    Here is a list from easy to serious (note the Cleaner Tool as part of uninstalling and reinstalling in 6), and you may have some disturbance from other applications, see the usual suspects in Item 7) in 5), and 1) - 2) may be the first ones to try, before 3) and/or 4) ):
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • Opening files from an XServe – Can Bridge copy them local first?

    I have an issue with my users opening files directly off the network. This sometimes causes issues with the server and particulaly leaves those InDesign temp files everywhere.
    My question is that it was my understanding there was a way to use Bridge to copy the file in the background at open and close. A process that would be invisible to the user. We are using XServe, no version Cue, all on 10.5.latest. Any suggestions on where to start or reference for similar code would be greatly appreciated, speak slowly, I have never coded for Bridge or java.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello dj_paige,
    Thanks for your reply.  I did get an email notification.
    I've discovered that the photo files are actually copied over to the Pictures folder.  Why do I need to keep my external drive connected when working on a file then?

  • File appear open twice in manage open files

    Im having an issue with the manage open files in Windows server 2012. The problem is that some files appear open twice by the same user.
    Im using server replication between 3 servers using the same OS and the same data structure.
    Sorry that i can't upload the image with the issue or a link cause my account can't post it.

    Hi, 
    Do you mean that a shared file is opened twice by the same user when you go to Computer Management -> Manage Computer -> Shared Folders -> Open Files? Please check if the use is login two servers to access the shard folder.
    In the meantime, you could use Windows Live SkyDrive (http://www.skydrive.live.com/) to upload the image and then give us the download address.

  • Having trouble opening files & folders through file open .

    We have three Macs, 1 new Mac Pro w/ 2 hard drives (OS 10.5) and 2 G4's (OS 10.4), we use the Mac Pro to store all the customers files and the other two Macs work off the Mac Pro through our company network. The one G4 has no problem but the other G4 has problems opening files/folder through file-open in programs. If you go to file open and open a folder instead of opening up it toggles down into a list so you can never get to the file you want to open or save a file in the correct folder. Please help!

    I started having the exact same problem yesterday. It has happened to me a little less than 2 years ago on this same machine (which was very new at the time). I was hoping to come here and find an easier solution than I resorted to in the past. Before I had to completely reformat my computer to get it to work properly again.
    For me, the first time this problem happened was when I was working on a job that is stored on our company server. The server went down while the file was open and I was kicked off and everything locked up. When I tried to get out of the file nothing happened and I had to force quit. When it got back up, I logged back onto the server and everything seemed fine until trying to open, save as or place a file. Then I see what you see, open a folder and rather than going inside the folder, I get the turn down arrow or I just see the same list of folders and cannot get into the final folder where the art resides that I wish to place (or attach in an email, etc.)
    I don't know how it happened yesterday. It could have actually happened on Friday night. Our company runs 3 shifts and it may have happened on 2nd shift Friday night or on 3rd shift Sunday night / Monday morning. I discovered it yesterday afternoon.
    If anyone has a better solution than reformatting, that would be GREAT! I have done the disk utility checking and fixing permissions and that didn't work the first time or today either. Thanks for any info!
