Apps :: OneDrive Disappeared From File Explorer

Aug 19, 2015

Preface: I had Windows 8.1 and I never used SkyDrive or, later, OneDrive, but since it's so inbred with Windows 10, I wanted to at least check it out. Especially after all of Microsoft's hype and the $16 Billion they poured into cloud research. I also have a Windows Phone, so I was curious how well it would actually sync things.

So, I install Windows 10. I'm poking around. I see OneDrive listed as a program on the start menu, I click it and nothing happens. I open up file explorer. OneDrive is listed on the left navigation pane above "My PC." I click on it and it disappears. Poof! There are still OneDrive folders scattered throughout my C:Windows, so I know there are remnants of it hanging around somewhere. I surmised that the program on my start menu was the leftover OneDrive app from Windows 8.1. So, I uninstalled that. Of course, there's no reinstallation file for Windows 10, because, "it's just supposed to be there."

Customization :: Hide / Remove OneDrive In File Manager

Sep 6, 2015

I would like the OneDrive icon to be hidden/removed from File Explorer on my 64 bit Windows 10 Home device. I find the same steps all over the that don't seem to work for me involving setting two flags in the registry as follows:

Set the System.IsPinnedToNameSpaceTree DWORD value to 0 for both of the following:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCLSID{018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6}
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTWow6432NodeCLSID{018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6}

I've set them both on and off, restarting inbetween, several times but it doesn't seem to affect OneDrive in the File Manager. The other option presented is ripping OneDrive out completely but that doesn't seem to work for me as well. Those instructions involve killing the OneDrive process and then removing it using the following commands:

64-bit edition of Windows 10: %SystemRoot%System32OneDriveSetup.exe /uninstall
32-bit edition of Windows 10: %SystemRoot%SysWOW64OneDriveSetup.exe /uninstall

I've though I'm running 64-bit Windows 10 I don't even have OneDriveSetup.exe in my System32 folder. I do have it in my SysWoW64 folder but when I run it with the /uninstall switch nothing seems to happen and the OneDrive icon remains in File Explorer.

Why Isn't OneDrive Integrated Into File Explorer Itself

Apr 15, 2015

I understand the reason why onedrive is a standalone app on phones and pcs, because they can constantly update and improve the app.But the current onedrive app has enough features for regular use.And if they want they can always improve it with small minor updates even if it is integrate into the system's file explorer..So why don't they just integrate it into phone's and pc's file explorer itself instead of making it as a standalone app?.It will be more convenient to access all our files in one place instead of using two different apps.Giving great importance to ondrive by baking it into system's file explorer makes even more sense to MS's""Mobile-first cloud-first" strategy.I am not sure why they don't do that.are there any special reasons that you can think of why MS doesn't want to do that?

How To Remove Default Apps By File Type

Nov 28, 2015

I accidentally set the .html file type association to be Microsoft Edge, instead I wanted to set it to a text editor. I am at the system settings, choose default apps by file type and I only have four options, three browsers and "choose from the windows store". Is there another way to unset this?

I tried to override this by providing file type association settings to filezilla to read .html by the text editor, but when I try to edit files, nothing happens. I'm not sure why.

Apps :: File Explorer Crashes After Right Click In Desktop

Aug 5, 2015

Whenever I right-click a file anywhere on the Desktop, the File Explorer crashes briefly and then comes right back up. This does not happen anywhere else, only on the Desktop.

I tried going to "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/*/shellex/ContextMenuHandlers" with RegEdit and removing some of them, but to no avail.

Customization :: Remove OneDrive Folders From Libraries

Aug 15, 2015

I actually do use OneDrive, and I am not trying to remove the app entirely. However, it seems like if I remove the OneDrive folder from my libraries (music, pictures, documents), next boot they show right back up.

This is incredibly annoying as I actually want my folders isolated... Documents is my local documents, and only the stuff I want put in the cloud is in OneDrive.

OneDrive Explorer View

Jul 31, 2015

New on here a just taken plunge with w10. Not bad at all on this Surface Pro 3.

In windows explorer there is an option what folders to show and synchronise. It used to be that the file 'impression' was there but the actual file on the cloud. It now seems that to have them visible they have to synchronise and this means they actually download to local HDD. All I want is to see the files and when I click on them they come down from cloud and attach to email etc. This particularly important for pictures. Because these and medic are huge I don't 'synchronise as they would all come down locally.

So, how do I see the available files in OneDrive via Explorer without actually having them on hard drive locally.

Networking :: File Explorer Network Tab Shows PC (This File Is Empty)

Dec 25, 2015

Under the Network tab of File Explorer, I can see three entries, one of which is my router (with attached Hard Drive) and two computers, each running Windows 10. When I expand the router entry, I can see my hard drive files. I can also see my Users icons when I expand one of the computer's tabs. However, when I click on the other computer's name to search for users, all I see is a message that "This folder is empty". In fact, the folder is not empty, as there are two users on the computer. How I can get this computer to show users, etc.?

Disable Zip File Compressed Folders File Explorer?

Oct 19, 2015

Using Win10 Pro x64. I would like to disable windows showing .zip files in explorer as a folder...When you highlight it the contents inside the .zip are shown in the right pane view. I've scoured the net and found ways for Win7(which I did disable .zip folders on my other Win7 machine) and Vista, perhaps 8 too but I don't want to risk trying a method for older versions of windows. Any solution/reg hack or whatever to disable .zip folder?

File Names In Left Panel Of File Explorer

Aug 8, 2015

I just installed Windows 10. Not sure if I like it, but I'm trying hard.

Problem: When I go to File Explorer, in the left panel, when I click on a folder name, the contents of that folder (both sub-folders and files) show in the right panel.

In the left panel, when I click on ">" beside a folder name, it will expand in the left panel showing the sub-folders, but not "loose files".

I could have sworn that in earlier versions of Windows the files also showed.

Is there a option setting somewhere to change this behavior and to show the files also in the left panel?

Editing A File Causes Freeze File Explorer

Dec 7, 2015

When I edit a .mkv file (rename, delete or copy/move) on one of my partitions, file explorer freezes and I need to restart it with taskmanager.

I haven't encountered any other files that cause the same freeze as this one (yet..).

I already searched on google and tried editing from a webbrowser and the drive is defragmented automatically, so I don't know what to do.

Does Upgrade Remove Internet Explorer 11?

Sep 16, 2015

I know a clean install of Windows 10 gives you the Edge browser, but what happens to IE 11 if you upgrade from Windows 7 or 8.1 to Windows 10? Does the upgrade keep your previous version of Internet Explorer and give you the Edge browser or is the previous browser removed?

I have an app that requires ActiveX and on a fresh install of Windows 10 I was able to download IE 11 and access both browsers. It would be nice if the Internet Explorer instance is left installed on an upgrade.

Apps :: How To Reinstall OneDrive

Jul 29, 2015

OK so I installed and have been running W10 today. I noticed that I did not have a Quick Access link to my OneDrive. So I went to Programs and Features and found it in the programs list. I clicked on it thinking it would open up and allow me to change the settings. OOPs! It uninstalled OneDrive from the programs list. Now I can't find it anywhere on my computer, other than when I log in on the web page. So can I reinstall OneDrive and have it show in my file manager as a drive like it used to in WIN 8.1?

Apps :: OneDrive Appear As Application

Aug 18, 2015

Lately OneDrive appears as one of the applications installed on my system; and the Windows Exprolorer lists it among the content of the system.

As shown there, it appears to contain a single file (or feature, maybe not a real file) with this name: .849C9593-D756-4E56-8D6E-42412F2A707B. Clicking on this just opens an empty Notebook and nothing else happens.

- How can I get rid of this application, as it seems quite useless, and I'm not aware of having installed it myself?

I cannot delete the file mentionned because a process keeps it open, a pop-up says.
I cannot uninstall OneDrive because that option is disabled on the list of applications.

- And what is this OneDrive application anyway? It doesn't seem to be the same thing as OneDrive, the storage space in the cloud, which I use regularly, and performs all right.
