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.

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!

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:

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.

I also need to explain how I get to this situation. Around 3-5 days ago, mail starts to have an error similar to another user had. If I open any new or old mail, it will immediately terminates the Mail application.
At first, I thought it will be resolved when I restart, so I never look into it and used mobileme to check (as I have been using all the time).
Later I restart and this error still occur when I open any new or old email.
I thought it is to do with me having too many mails in the Mail application, so I went and delete a large number of emails in my Trash folder. As I delete, the application had error, and close itself. From then on, whenever I open the Mail application, it will just terminates immediately.
It would be great if someone can give me some indication as to how I can resolve this problem!!
Thanks!

You're using the To Do feature, which appears to be the cause of this problem. So, open iCal and remove all your To Do items, save the changes and quit. Then try opening Mail.
If that works, you should quit Mail, then try adding back To Do items one at a time in iCal, saving the changes, quitting iCal and testing Mail after each one to see if the problem recurs. Don't go around deleting programs just because they might crash or quit unexpectedly for some reason; that will lead to more problems than you imagine.

Unable to save document - Read Only or Open by another user error occurs when PDF is opened from Windows Explorer

Adobe Pro XI - using Windows 7 Pro OS
When a PDF document is opened from Windows Explorer, and pages are added, deleted, notations made, any type of changes, it cannot be saved until Windows Explorer is fully closed. If you try to save the document, you receive the following error - "The document could not be saved. The file may be read-only, or another user may have it opened. Please save the document with a different name or in a differnt folder. " I have confirmed the document is not read only, it is not open by another user, and it is not open multiple times. Once you fully close Windows Explorer, and try to save the document, it saves without a problem.
Are there settings in either Adobe Pro XI or Windows that will allow you to save documents without closing Windows Explorer first?
Thank you for any assistance you can provide. This error is a frustration since I open all my documents through Windows Explorer.

When I open a bookmark a box pops up that says "What should firefox do with this file? "open with Internet Explorer? When I browse I can't find firefox to change to. Last week this book mark worked perfectly.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

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.
For more information, you can refer to the following articles:

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.

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

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 :)
