Windows Explorer example in Forte

I would like to know if anybody has created a complete Windows Explorer
using TreeView/ListView or anything similar and would be willing to share
the code. I have implemented a similar screen and I would like to see how
others have approached the problem.
Thanks,
David

Hi.
Yes, BeehiveOnline is a completely separate system so you will have to set up the account on BeehiveOnline as well as stbeehive. The limitations of the Microsoft approach is that the OBEE required one connection at a time so you will have to disconnect and reconnect to see the other server. OBEE gives you more control than normal WebDAV access but it has its limitations. If you use the Desktop Integration Server or a webDAv setup you can have both servers visible in the Explorer window and drag and drop easily between them .

Adobe Bridge overrides Windows Explorer functions?

Since installing Adobe Bridge CS3, I am unable to rename/copy/move folders within Windows explorer...If I want to do it, I have to use Bridge.
This is particularly annoying when new folders have to be renamed/copied/moved within OTHER programs. Example: I am processing a photo or piece of video in Nero or Quicktime and create a new folder to place the processed images/videos. I can not name that folder while within Nero or Quicktime nor can I rename it if I exit the program and use Windows Explorer. I HAVE to open BRIDGE and do it there....
Help?

Perhaps it is something with NEro or Quicktime. Make sure they are both the latest version. There has been some conflicts with Quicktime and Bridge in previous QT updates.
I have Vista and have no problems with have not experienced any problems like you describe with Windows Explorer. I usually use WS rather than Bridge for deleting, copying, moving. I have experienced some problems with external drives and permissioning problems when using Bridge, but starting Bridge in administrative mode solved that. Right click on Bridge icon and choose "Run as Administrator".

Help! Windows Explorer crashes regularly when using "SharePoint" directory synced with OneDrive for Business

We are using SharePoint 2013 and I want to sync document libraries with
OneDrive for Business with my PC running Windows 7.
In general, it works, but my Windows Explorer crashes very often (after a few minutes) when I navigate in the synced directories and open files there (or copy files into them in Windows Explorer).
How can I find out what happens and how to avoid it?
remark:
We are still using Office 2007, so I installed only OneDrive for Business from the Office 2013 DVD and
deactivated all other components like Office 2013 by hand:
(so for example, the shared office feature or MS Info Path etc. were not installed)
Is there a crash log, where I can find more information about the crash?
Does OneDrive maybe need other components to be installed and can I install them without damaging my existing Office 2007 setup?

Did you check your Event Viewer for any errors during the time when Windows Explorer crashed?
Thanks for this hint!
The Log file says the following, so it seems to be WIDCOMM\Bluetooth Software\btncopy.dll
to be responsible for the crashing Windows Explorer

Cannot delete file - tried everything - file in use by Windows Explorer error

Hi - I have tried now for 2-3 hours trying to delete an .mkv file from my "Downloads" folder
It says the file is in use by Windows Explorer and cannot be deleted
I have tried deleting it using Del command prompt as me and as Administrator (I am the Admnistrator, there are no other users) - no luck
I have tried Safe Boot and then deleting - no luck
I have tried rebooting many times and then deleting - no luck
Any ideas? It's driving me nuts

hi to all who have this bug- "file in use by Windows Explorer error"
this is the only way that it works:
1.type cmd in search box
2.go to the drive and the directory the file is in ,for example:
after you type cmd you have a black screen with c:\user\
type in the drive the file is in and hit enter example - d: than hit enter
than you should see d:\>
now click the directory the problem file is in ,for example i will call the directory "movies" type in this- cd movies
now you will see this d:\movies>
to delete the file type this: del filename.mkv (dont forget the .mkv or any other file extension) don't hit enter yet, first open task manager (cntrl+shift+esc) go to process tab than right click on explorer.exe choose and click on end process
now your desktop should disappear. get back to the "cmd" window and hit enter.
now the file is deleted. now go back to the task manager and click on "file" on the upper left corner then on new task then type in "explorer.exe"
and you are done
please note that the file name you choose to delete cant be with spaces between the letters .if so you will need to change it in the same way in the cmd window only the comand will be instead of "del filename.mkv"(for example) after you are in the
right drive and directory:
rename "test space.mkv" testspace.mkv
hope i helped
this is the only way it workes
Instead of running a CMD prompt and typing everything, just start up Winrar or Winzip, kill Explorer, then delete problem MKV files to your hearts content within Winrar or Winzip.
Winrar and Winzip will navigate your folders as well.
After you are done, create a new Explorer task.
or..... if you need to rename MKV files, just rename them within Winrar/Winzip with Explorer not running.
I change the MKV extension to AVI (in Winrar with Explorer killed) in order to avoid Explorer issues, if I ever want to move the files in the future without needing to kill Explorer all the time to do so .
Using WinRAR works for me. Using the cmd function becomes complicated when I cannot rename my file with the rename command".

Cannot delete exe files - The action can't be completed because the file is open in Windows Explorer

We have received 3 new computers with Windows 8.1. All of us 3 have the same problem: we cannot delete exe files with message "The action can't be completed because the file is open in Windows Explorer"
For example, I download skypeinstall.exe on desktop, install the program correctly and then try to delete the file: file is in use by Windows Explorer, cannot be delete.
We reboot computer, we are able to delete the file. But, if I restore the file from the recycle bin on the desktop, I cannot delete it again until I reboot the PC. I used ProcessExplorer to see what is locking it and I can see 5 instances of explorer.exe
locking the file.
I can always reproduce the same way:
1-Reboot
2-Delete exe file
3-Restore file
4-Delete stop working and 5 explorer.exe handle are locking it.
I have tried the following so far after reading multiple threads:
- De-activating Windows Search service
- Activating User Experience service
- Deleting from command prompt (no success)
- In folder options: inactivate display icon on thumbnail and activate always display icons, never thumbnail
- Changing folder view (contents, detail, small icons...)
- Using Lock Hunter - not working until reboot
None of these worked.
We all have Windows 8.1 with Crucial SSD drive, could the problem be linked with the SSD drive incompatibility?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Please try to make a clean boot for your system, then check if this problem resolved.
Clean Boot: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
If problem persists, try to open Resource Monitor to check handle of Explorer.exe, if there any exception, end them for test.

Hi iTunes-1,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The error message you posted indicates a possible firmware update is needed for iTunes for Windows to work with your CD drive.
iTunes for Windows: Updating the firmware on your CD or DVD drive - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201852
Having outdated firmware can cause issues using CDs and DVDs with iTunes for Windows. Firmware is a type of software stored in a chip in hardware that can sometimes be updated.Identifying drives and firmware versions
To run CD Diagnostics, follow the steps in this document.
After following the steps to run CD Diagnostics linked above, look at section three to find out more about your optical drive(s).
Here is an example of what section three might look like:
In this example there are two drives. Drive E is a Samsung DVD-ROM drive with a model designation of SD-616 that has firmware version F000. Drive F is an NEC drive with a model designation of NR-7900A that has firmware version 1.08.Updating the firmware
If the optical drive you are using came with your computer, check with the support site for your computer for a firmware update. Typically you will need to go to the support website for the computer maker and click on a "downloads" or "updates" link, and then enter your computer model designation and operating system version to see what updates are available. Then look through the available updates for a firmware update for your optical drive. Download the updater and run it. If you need assistance applying the update, contact the maker of your computer.
If the optical drive you are using came as a separate part (was not included with a computer), check the support site for the drive maker for a firmware update. Sometimes the manufacturer is not clear in the CD Diagnostics results. In that case, you may just have to search the Internet for the drive model designation. You can usually find out who made the drive by looking through the results of such a search. Once you have identified who made your drive, go to the support website for that company. Look for a "downloads" or "updates" link, and then enter your optical drive model designation. Download the updater and run it. If you need assistance applying the update, contact the maker of the optical drive.Verifying that the firmware was updated
Run CD Diagnostics again.
Examine the CD Diagnostics results. The firmware version for the drive should be the new version.

Also, you mentioned that you have been successful burning a CD with the Windows OS. Make sure that you have closed all software programs that can access the CD burner so that there isn't a conflict for the drive. Sometimes chaning the burn speed from "maximum" to 8x can also help in this situation.
I hope this information helps ...

Windows 7 Open and Save As dialog box gives an "Access Denied" when using common Windows Explorer features.

On many computers in our environment we have issues in Windows 7 when using the Common Dialog Box. Within the dialog box we get the error Access Denied whenever we try to create a folder. If we try to rename a file it doesn't give an error but
it doesn't work either. We cannot delete a file, still no error, but we can create shortcut.
Within Windows Explorer of the same user it has no issues.
Even if we run an application as administrator it has the same results.
Example: Open Paint (right click "Run As Administrator"); then File, "Save As", right-click in empty space; then New, Folder. This caused the error to popup "Unable to create the folder 'New folder' Access is denied."
Thanks for your help,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
How are things going? As the article provided above said, for such kind of issues generally it is caused by permission settings.

User cannot access redirected Documents folder, but can connect to share in Windows Explorer and access folder on server

I am in the final stages of a cross-forest migration. Users have Windows 7 workstations with redirected folders on a Windows Server 2012 box running in the old forest. User accounts were not migrated. The accounts in use have always
been in the "new" forest. One of our challenges was the large volume of data in redirected folders. I made sure users in the target forest had continued to have access to their redirected folders in the old forest and robocopied
the entire users share, copying the permissions with the files. By doing incremental robocopies, we can get a final copy done now in about six hours. The plan was simple: copy the files, do an incremental copy every night, on the night of the cutover
change the folder redirection policy Documents path from
\\oldserver\users\%USERNAME% to
\\newserver\users\%USERNAME%. The policy is configured to NOT copy user files from the existing folder to the new redirected folder. Everything was going well until I tested the policy change. After the folder redirection policy is updated
and applied, the user cannot access the private Documents folder. For example, user Chester Tester logs on as ctester. I open Windows Explorer and click the Documents shortcut. I see one subfolder, which is subfolder of Public Documents.
So I can look at Public Documents but when I click on the Documents folder (Under the Documents library link) I get an access denied error. Now for the kicker, if I open another Windows Explorer window and edit the address bar to
\\newserver\users\ctester, I can navigate the Documents folder tree and see my thousands of documents. What the ....?
I'm hoping this is something really simple to fix!
TIA

HI Vivian,
Thank you for your reply. Yes, the path in Group Policy Folder Redirection Root Path was updated to
\\NEWSERVER\users. I had planned to point this to the distributed file system, so the first used was actually
\\domain\dfs\users. To simplify things I have backed off to copying to just a normal share
\\newserver\users.
We are using BASIC folder redirection and we create a folder for each user under the root path.
We did not want the policy to move content, as we were seeing users requiring 15-20 minute logon times (or higher) after the policy is changed.
Grant the User exclusive right to Documents - Disabled
Move the contents of Documents to the new location - Disabled
Related folder settings
Video - Follow Documents
Music - Follow Documents
Pictures - Follow Documents
Now when I change the folder redirection from old server to new server I now have TWO My Documents folders in the user's redirection folder on the server. The redirected Documents points to an empty folder set. The copied folders with all user
data are there, but folder redirection refuses to recognize the original folder.
I am looking at the full view of the folder, nothing hidden, so I'm wondering how a folder can have two subfolders with the exact same name. For now, I just want the redirection to move from the old server to the new server properly. I deleted
the new My Documents folder, rebooted the user's workstation and tried again. The behavior repeats itself, i.e., a new My Documents folder is always created when the redirection policy is changed from the old server to the new server. The environment
has about 1500 users with approximately 1.3TB of data in the redirected Documents folders. OUCH!

Windows Explorer misreads large-file .zip archives

   I just spent about 90 minutes trying to report this problem through
the normal support channels with no useful result, so, in desperation,
I'm trying here, in the hope that someone can direct this report to some
useful place.
   There appears to be a bug in the .zip archive reader used by Windows
Explorer in Windows 7 (and up, most likely).
   An Info-ZIP Zip user recently reported a problem with an archive
created using our Zip program. The archive was valid, but it contained
a file which was larger than 4GiB. The complaint was that Windows
Explorer displayed (and, apparently believed) an absurdly large size
value for this large-file archive member. We have since reproduced the
problem.
   The original .zip archive format includes uncompressed and compressed
sizes for archive members (files), and these sizes were stored in 32-bit
fields. This caused problems for files which are larger than 4GiB (or,
on some system types, where signed size values were used, 2GiB). The
solution to this fundamental limitation was to extend the .zip archive
format to allow storage of 64-bit member sizes, when necessary. (PKWARE
identifies this format extension as "Zip64".)
   The .zip archive format includes a mechanism, the "Extra Field", for
storing various kinds of metadata which had no place in the normal
archive file headers. Examples include OS-specific file-attribute data,
such as Finder info and extended attributes for Apple Macintosh; record
format, record size, and record type data for VMS/OpenVMS; universal
file times and/or UID/GID for UNIX(-like) systems; and so on. The Extra
Field is where the 64-bit member sizes are stored, when the fixed 32-bit
size fields are too small.
   An Extra Field has a structure which allows multiple types of extra
data to be included. It comprises one or more "Extra Blocks", each of
which has the following structure:
       Size (bytes) | Description
      --------------+------------
            2       | Type code
            2       | Number of data bytes to follow
        (variable) | Extra block data
   The problem with the .zip archive reader used by Windows Explorer is
that it appears to expect the Extra Block which includes the 64-bit
member sizes (type code = 0x0001) to be the first (or only) Extra Block
in the Extra Field. If some other Extra Block appears at the start of
the Extra Field, then its (non-size) data are being incorrectly
interpreted as the 64-bit sizes, while the actual 64-bit size data,
further along in the Extra Field, are ignored.
   Perhaps the .zip archive _writer_ used by Windows Explorer always
places the Extra Block with the 64-bit sizes in this special location,
but the .zip specification does not demand any particular order or
placement of Extra Blocks in the Extra Field, and other programs
(Info-ZIP Zip, for example) should not be expected to abide by this
artificial restriction. For details, see section "4.5 Extensible data
fields" in the PKWARE APPNOTE:
      http://www.pkware.com/documents/casestudies/APPNOTE.TXT
   A .zip archive reader is expected to consider the Extra Block type
codes, and interpret accordingly the data which follow. In particular,
it's not sufficient to trust that any particular Extra Block will be the
first one in the Extra Field. It's generally safe to ignore any Extra
Block whose type code is not recognized, but it's crucial to scan the
Extra Field, identify each Extra Block, and handle it according to its
type.
   Here are some relatively small (about 14MiB each) test archives which
illustrate the problem:
      http://antinode.info/ftp/info-zip/ms_zip64/test_4g.zip
      http://antinode.info/ftp/info-zip/ms_zip64/test_4g_V.zip

(In these reports, "Length" is the uncompressed size; "Size" is the
compressed size.)
   Incorrect info, from (Windows 7) Windows Explorer:
Archive        Name          Compressed size   Size
test_4g.zip    test_4g.txt         14,454 KB   562,951,376,907,238 KB
test_4g_V.zip test_4g.txt         14,454 KB   8,796,110,221,518 KB
test_4g_W.zip test_4g.txt         14,454 KB   1,464,940,363,777 KB
   Faced with these unrealistic sizes, Windows Explorer refuses to
extract the member file, for lack of (petabytes of) free disk space.
   The archive test_4g.zip has the following Extra Blocks: universal
time (type = 0x5455) and 64-bit sizes (type = 0x0001). test_4g_V.zip
has: PWWARE VMS (type = 0x000c) and 64-bit sizes (type = 0x0001).
test_4g_W.zip has: NT security descriptor (type = 0x4453), universal
time (type = 0x5455), and 64-bit sizes (type = 0x0001). Obviously,
Info-ZIP UnZip has no trouble correctly finding the 64-bit size info in
these archives, but Windows Explorer is clearly confused. (Note that
"1,464,940,363,777 KB" translates to 0x0005545500000400 (bytes), and
"0x00055455" looks exactly like the size, "0x0005" and the type code
"0x5455" for a "UT" universal time Extra Block, which was present in
that archive. This is consistent with the hypothesis that the wrong
data in the Extra Field are being interpreted as the 64-bit size data.)
   Without being able to see the source code involved here, it's hard to
know exactly what it's doing wrong, but it does appear that the .zip
reader used by Windows Explorer is using a very (too) simple-minded
method to extract 64-bit size data from the Extra Field, causing it to
get bad data from a properly formed archive.
   I suspect that the engineer involved will have little trouble finding
and fixing the code which parses an Extra Field to extract the 64-bit
sizes correctly, but if anyone has any questions, we'd be happy to help.

   You seem to misunderstand the situation. The facts are these:
   1. For your convenience, I've provided three test archives, each of
which includes a file larger than 4GiB. These archives are valid.
   2. Info-ZIP UnZip (version 6.00 or newer) can process these archives
correctly. This is consistent with the fact that these archives are
valid.
   3. Programs from other vendors can process these archives correctly.
I've supplied a screenshot showing one of them (7-Zip) doing so, as you
requested. This is consistent with the fact that these archives are
valid.
   4. Windows Explorer (on Windows 7) cannot process these archives
correctly, apparently because it misreads the (Zip64) file size data.
I've supplied a screenshot of Windows Explorer showing the bad file size
it gets, and the failure that occurs when one tries to use it to extract
the file from one of these archives, as you requested. This is
consistent with the fact that there's a bug in the .zip reader used by
Windows Explorer.
   Yes, "other zip application runs correctly." Info-ZIP UnZip runs
correctly. Only Windows Explorer does _not_ run correctly.

How can i tidy up folders in windows explorer and have the new names etc recognized by itunes?

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I have spent quite a while searching how to do this...
For example: In Windows Explorer, 2 different R.E.M. cd's have come up as different artists names, R.E.M and R.E.M_
Although in iTunes they are both displayed correctly, there are many, many other examples.
One more - a Celtic Box set with 4 cd's... 1-3 are in a 'Various' folder, and cd 4 is in a 'Compilation' folder.
It's not the end of the world, but it's driving me a bit mad, as my ocd is starting to kick in!!
Does anyone have any tips please?
Thanks in advance

Welcome to AD!
Is your new laptop Vista, and the older desktop XP?
If so, they have different paths to the default library.
On XP, it's c:\Documents and Settings\ username \My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
On Vista, it's C:\Users\ username \Music\iTunes\iTunes Music

Can we get an option to NOT automatically restart Windows explorer when CC updates?

Virtually every time CC updates, it restarts Windows Explorer, and while generally speaking, this is *slightly* better than restarting the computer, I still end up having to restart the computer because restarting explorer does not bring back some of my system tray tools that I actually use (Sound card manager, game controller manager and some others).
Can we get an option in preferences to turn the explorer restart off? It's super annoying and doesn't prevent me from having to restart the machine anyway.

I think we are getting a bit off track. There is nothing technically wrong with the installer. It isn't *directly* killing other processes, it's just a side effect of explorer going away. I'm guessing anything that starts from the startup folder when windows starts, doesn't necessarily restart when only explorer is restarted. 2 examples that I can think of off the top of my head are the profile editor for my Nostromo speedpad, and the control panel for my sound card. at least those two apps do not restart when explorer does. I use them frequently. When they disappear, I have to go hunting for them in the start menu. I realize these are very minor, but it's a side effect that is beyond the control of the CC updater, which is why the user should have control over when explorer is restarted, not the updater.

Outlook 2010 - Data File Properties/Folder Size verses Windows Explorer pst file size

I am running Outlook 2010 32bit Version 14.0.6129.5000 on a Windows PC running Windows 7 Professional. All updates from MS are up to date.
I have several pst files I open with Outlook 2010. The size of the files displayed in Outlook are very different than what is displayed in Windows Explorer.
For example one of the pst file called "business.pst" when opened Outlook displays it under "Data File Properties -> Folder Size" that the Total Size (including subfolders) is 764,354 KB. Windows Explorer says
the file size is 1,190,417 KB.
For some reason MS Outlook 2010 is displaying the wrong folder size. Any ideas why this is the case?
Thanks,
Pat

Outlook mailbox grows as you create and receive items. When you delete items, the size of the Outlook Data File (.pst and .ost) file might not decrease in proportion to the data that you deleted, untill it has been compacted.
Normally, after you have deleted items from an Outlook Data File (.pst), the file will be automatically compacted in the background when you’re not using your computer and Outlook is running.
For an exception, when the Outlook Data File (.pst) is somehow corrupt, the compaction might not finish correctly. So the size of the Outlook Data File (.pst) file might remain the same before compaction.
To solve this, try run the
scanpst to fix the Outlook Data File (.pst) file first, after that, we can
manually start the compact command.
When finished, compare the file size again.

I would like to use the windows explorer open dialog box instead of the adobe open dialog box. How can I change that?

I would like to use the windows explorer open dialog box instead of the adobe open dialog box. How can I change that?

The top screenshot is the Windows Open dialog box. All File > Open... commands in all Windows programs bring it up. Try File > Open in Notepad for example.
It belongs to Windows not Adobe. You cannot change this because there is no such thing as an Adobe Open dialog box.
The bottom screenshot is Windows Explorer. It is Windows' OS File Browser, not an Open dialog. It is not called up by Photoshop or any Windows program.
You have to click on "My Computer" or a Folder icon to get to it. You can double-click a psd, jpeg or other image file in the Explorer window so that it opens in Photoshop.
There is Adobe Bridge and Minibridge Alt + Ctrl + O or File > Browse in Bridge

Photo problems and can i drag and drop files using windows explorer?

i can only sync photos frm my com to my touch but i cant choose which photos i want and i tried searching for the files in itunes and i cant find them, thus cant delete them...
on top of that, i can access the files in my touch but cant find any option to delete them...
when i go the photos tab in itunes, it only shows me the window to sync files and the 2nd question too...
because when i drag and drop on itunes, it's quite laggy...and if i use windows explorer to drag and drop, will the duplicates on my playlist appear as 2 files or will it be like itunes where it can detect the main file and simply adds it to the list?
thank you...
sorry for the wall of text...

There's no manual mode for photos just different ways to sync but here's a simple "How To" on managing your photos so that it's easy to add and delete what you want on the iPod:
1 Create a folder on your hard drive to hold the photos you want on your iPod. Call it iPod Photos for example
2 Drag the photos you want from your usual picture folder into the folder you just created
2 Open iTunes, select your iPod in the iTunes Source list.
3 Click the Photos tab and select “Synch photos from.”
4 Choose “Choose Folder” from the pop-up menu and select the iPod photos folder you created.
5 When you want to change what photos are on the iPod just add or remove the photos from the folder you have made and syncronise the the iPod
You can't drag photos or music to the iPod from Windows Explorer, you have to add content through iTunes or you'll not be able to view or play it.

Cannot search inside pdf with Windows Explorer

Win XP SP2
Scanned document that has been paper-captured using Acrobat 8.1.2.
I cannot use Windows Explorer to search for text inside this file. For example, I search for the word "abstract" (it's a technical paper) which DOES show up when doing a Ctrl-F find inside Acrobat, and I get no results in the search.
To test, I put one and only one file with that word in it in a new directory, then ran a standard search, using 'abstract' (without quotes) in the "A word or phrase in the file:" box.
"Search is complete. There are no results to display."
Someone tell me why this isn't working?

Since the search issue is coming up regularly, here is what I used some time back that helped me find a file I have lost a year earlier (OK, an organization problem on my part, but it is the question being asked). To search the interior of any file, not just the limited set of MS, follow the following directions (with warning) from Nick on Windows Vista Tips (for XP):
"Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly
by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might
require that you reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee
that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.
Network administrators can configure this setting by modifying the registry.
To do this, set the FilterFilesWithUnknownExtensions DWORD value to 1 in the
following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\ContentIndex"
