File Explorer Sort Reverts To Date Modified?
Jan 27, 2016
Every disk and/ or folder when I tick sort by name-ascending the damn thing reverts to date modified descending if I leave said disk or folder and return. I tried "Enable_Auto_Arrange_in_File_Explorer.bat" and "Reset_Folder_View_Settings_of_All_Folders_to_Default.bat" courtesy of Brink to no avail.
Is there a way to get file explorer back to default sort (by name-ascending) for all disks, folders and sub-folders at once?
It was all fine last week and I've no recollection of playing with any settings.

when you click a link in a toolbar that it updates the Date Modified field. While not important in itself, the side-effect is it makes the toolbar link get included with the next backup run.
I've had these personalised toolbars sitting in the taskbar since Windows 7 without this happening before.

I have windows 8.1 pro currently and run a dual drive system on my computer consisting of an ssd for the OS and an hdd for everything else. I have transferred the default documents, photos, download folder etc to my hdd and am still looking to do the same with the appdata folder but dont want to risk everything up so its not happening. I also want to get windows 10 and have already reserved a copy. I want to know:
1. Will it mess up my file config as i must disconnect the hdd for OS install?
2. Is the upgrade worth the hassle?
3. Will it put computer performance in the sewer?
4. Will it screw up everything?

Two questions:-
1. Any simple method to add titles, comments, or tags, to folders in Windows 10?
There was something called HobComment that worked on XP but there does not appear to be a Win10 X64 version.
2. Is it possible to have File Manager ignore definite and indefinite articles (the, a, an) when sorting by name?

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.?

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?

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?

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.

My tablet used to go to the Desktop and when I pressed the Windows key, it would show all the pinned Icons. For some reason now, it only shows the icons and I don't seem to have a desktop. When I press the Windows key, nothing happens.

I want to set all my folder views to List and have set it to be so from folder options several times but it keeps reverting to Details.
And either way is there a master setting somewhere (like default programs) where I can change this?

In order to use my VPN I've had to change my DNS address to a specific address. Problem is, whenever I reboot my computer, it reverts the DNS to the 'obtain automatically' option, and completely clears out my specified DNS address.

I have been using Windows 10 Pro for a good number of months now, and have had no problem with it up until last week or so. Now, whenever I reboot my computer for updates or whatnot, it will revert back to Windows 7 instead of Windows 10. Win 10 is on my SSD, and Win 7 is on my old HD that I used for storage. My boot priority in the BIOS has always been the SSD, however now, when I check the BIOS after a Win 7 boot, the only item in the Boot Priority list is the old HD, and the SSD isn't even there. If I dig around in the BIOS, I can find the Boot Menu, where my SSD is still listed, and when I click on that, it will boot back up in to Windows 10, usually until I have to reboot again.

when I started my PC the icons on the Desktop were sorted by name. I suppose my brother accidentally click on the sort option yesterday. They get sorted by name even when I click on Refresh.Is there a way to disable it because it's really irritating to arrange them every time I start the PC or refresh the Desktop.

A few days ago my Pc started to act slow and slugging so i restarted it a couple of times and on the 3rd reboot it started a disc check. Once it finished it worked flawlessly BUT it had reverted to a previously unknown restore point. Ok i thought and reinstalled some programs that were missing and went to bed. Next day i booted it up and all the programs were missing again.....The same unknown restore point was back! Curious now, i installed a program, rebooted the pc, and once again, same restore point! Just what is happening?

I like to sort some of my folders by date and for some reason I can't understand, when I open an image with WPV, it gets sorted by name instead of date (the folder remains the same, it's just the WPV that screws everything). If I wanted to see whatever I have inside the folder by name, I would just sort it by name for god's sake.

In Windows 7 when I open Windows Explorer it comes up with a very simple window that has very basic tabs, Organise, Share With Burn, New Folder. Organise then has a very basic drop down menu.
When I use File Explorer in Windows 10 it comes up with a much more detailed menu that offers four menus, File, Home, Share, View.
Is there any way I can use a window similar to Windows 7? I'm sure it is there somewhere as when you attempt to open a file in an application a window identical to what I want comes up to allow the selection.

On my Surface Book I've noticed it seems to take about 1.5seconds from pressing the file explorer button to it opening whilst this isn't slow my Surface Pro 2 opens instantly just wondering why on a brand new machine its slower than a 3 year old lower spec model?

After upgrading from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, my file explorer simply keeps crashing when navigating in folders.
Example: I go to "This PC" and the window that pops up show all my drives but not how much storage they have/have left. When I try open a drive or folder the window and taskbar closes down and reopen after a few seconds. I haven't had this problem even a single time before I upgraded to Windows 10 but now it happens almost every time I try open a folder.

This is the second time I have posted about the same problem. I can't move file explorer to the task bar. I tried to move it by right clicking on start, then left click on file explorer the menu I get that way just says "pin to start" and more, when I click on more all that is there is don't show with this list, if I left click the start button and then left click file explorer the menu only says "pin to start". I am at a loss, I have had one problem after another with Windows 10 and considering going back to Windows 7. I have tried to revert back to windows 7 from windows 10 but that failed, the only other option I have is to format the hard drive and reload Windows 7. I understand by doing that I will get the Windows 10 10 upgrade icon in the right hand corner of the task bar. How do I get rid of that?
