Windows Explorer Won't Remember Folder And Icon Settings?

Oct 7, 2015

Here is my problem: I keep my folders in different settings, some with large icons, some with details view.

Today they are all reset to details view, and items are listed by name. Every folder is reset to the same settings. When I try to change they always defaults to details view. Even when I go to another folder and press back, the settings are already reset.

Also, icons on desktop are keep returning to default state (big icons), I keep them smaller, when I hold ctrl and scroll mouse wheel they become smaller, but next time I reset windows they return to default (big icons) view. I already cleaned shellbag in regedit, reset windows but it is still the same.

I saw this other theme with similar problem, but I am not using Eset, I use Kaspersky.

Also I don't have this key in my registry :

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsShellBags1Desktop

How To Get Windows Explorer To Remember Settings

Jan 9, 2016

How do I get Windows Explorer to remember my settings when I exit? For instance, if I'm in a folder and click "Size all columns to fit", then I exit Explorer and come back to that folder again, it doesn't remember that I clicked "size all columns to fit" and I have to do it again.

BSOD :: Folder View Settings And Desktop Icon Positions Not Saving

Sep 23, 2015

2 out of the 3 computers at work I have installed Windows 10 Pro on, have an issue of when I reboot the computer, the desktop icons, that were arranged in a certain way, have now all moved to the very left of the desktop. I am running Classic Shell on the machines and so get a desktop view immediately when booting. It's annoying. Windows 8.1 does not do this.

My work computer has both XP and Windows 10 PRO on it as a dual boot. It had a Windows 10 preview edition on it since back in April or May. Then when we decided to move into Windows 10, I merely bought a DVD of Win 10 Pro and when running in that preview OS on the one partition I installed the DVD and did and upgrade. Works fine, but every once in a while I see the explorer view of folders and when I close the folder {X} it magically appears again and click the X again to close it.

For the time I installed a program called DesktopOK ver 4.16 on the one computer and seems to be holding it's own so far (no moving icons back over to the extreme left.

D Drive Not Opening - Windows Explorer Folder Would Not Respond

Nov 15, 2015

Today,my laptop was awfully slow. When I booted it up it would say "Scanning and repairing D: drive 100%" but this didn't work with anything. When I went to "This PC" to see my D and C drives, my C drive was perfectly fine and it was showing how much GB it has left (___ GB free of ___ GB) but for the D drive it didn't show how much GB it has left. When I try to open it, windows explorer folder would not respond. The green bar which shows your progress of loading the folder (I don't know how to explain) would keep going and even if it reaches the end, D drive wouldn't open. Most of my games were in my D drive and now my laptop is really slow. It takes like 1 minute for chrome to start up.

Force To Remember Where To Open Windows?

Dec 12, 2015

I upgraded to Win 10 few weeks ago and I have a small issue with it.I can't make Win 10 open windows where i want them to open.

Previously with Win 7 I had the Explorer open on the right side of the screen, taking about half of the screen. My browser would open on the left side taking up the rest of the screen. It was very easy to set up. I just resized it to what I wanted, placed it where I wanted and closed it down. After reopening it would open in the same place, same size.

I tried the same with Win 10 and it doesn't work... Every time I reboot and open my browser and Explorer I have to readjust them. I know that's a very minor thing, but it bothers me every time I turn my PC on. how I can force Win 10 to remember where to open windows?

Taskbar Icon Management In Settings?

Oct 2, 2015

I am using Windows 10 and have run into a situation. I navigate to Settings > System > Notifications & Actions. I am presented with a screen that has an option "Select which icons appear on the taskbar". I am presented with a list of programs and a switch that allows me to run on / off whether or not the icon displays on the taskbar. The issue (minor annoyance really) is I have choices for programs that a) I have removed or b) portable apps that did not need to be installed to run. I would like to remove these programs from this list as they are no longer present. I have attached a screenshot.

Folder Properties And Icon Pictures?

Oct 4, 2015

Two days ago I woke up to this problem, my icon pictures are gone and I can't access properties when I right click anything. So, night before everything was fine, PC went to sleep mode, next morning i get up wake PC from sleep mode and the problem i mentioned was there. Some of the icons i used are custom and some default, so the problem is not in one of those 2 things, and since i cant access properties i figure it is some deeper issue than just icon's picture missing.

Here is the screenshot, i'll leave it like this here, too, because I am new here and not sure how attachment thing works

Deleted The Folder Icon From Taskbar - How To Get It Back

Oct 22, 2015

I accidentally deleted the default folder icon that comes standard with Windows 10 home. Well, I didn't delete it, I hit the "Unpin from taskbar".

Where do these icons go when you unpin them? And how can I get it back?

I know I can replace it with File Explorer, but I like the files that are displayed with the standard folder icon.

Customization :: Can't Change Folder Icon To A Custom One

Aug 13, 2015

I created a new folder on the desktop and I can't change its icon to a one I downloaded. selecting the icon from the stock list (shell32.dll) works fine though. I tried with another folder in different location, still no luck. however, when I created a shortcut to the folder I placed on the desktop, I can change its icon to the custom one just fine. I just wanna have a folder with a blank icon.

edit: I fixed the issue. turns out Windows didn't like the fact that there was an "ą" letter in the icon path.

Unpinned Folder Icon From Taskbar - How To Get It Back

Nov 16, 2015

Slip of the keyboard. I unpinned the folder icon that comes standard with Win 10 on the taskbar. I replaced it with File Explorer but it's not the same format. The folder icon that comes with Win 10 on the taskbar brings up the Libraries on the left, then the right side, I think, had folder and file listings. Don't remember - I did this about a month ago.

Networking :: WiFi Settings Tab And Tray Icon Missing?

Feb 10, 2016

It was working day before yesterday.

The Tray icon only shows the network/Ethernet adapter; the wifi icon is missing. Normally I'd click on the wifi icon to connect to wifi networks; that option is not available. Instead I get "Not Connected - No Connections Available." (If I plug in an Ethernet cable, that message goes away. But I need wifi!)

I head into the "Settings" app, choose "Network & Internet", and the topmost tab is "Airplane Mode"; the "Wifi" tab is missing from the Settings app.

I head into the control panel, network and internet, network connections, change adapter settings, and my Wi-Fi adapter is there, enabled, and full green signal strength.

"Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6235"

Disabled it and reenabled, didn't work. Rebooting (twice) didn't work. Full power reset (press-hand-hold power button for 5 seconds) and restart didn't work.

Ran network troubleshooter, it says there may be an issue with the wifi adapter's device driver; it tried to fix it but failed. So I manually updated the device driver in the Properties dialog; that seemed to actually install a new driver (based on how long it took) but it didn't work.

I wonder if there was a recent auto-update for this device that's causing a problem? Or is there some way behind the scenes to hook up this device (who's driver seems to be working) with the windows 10 app (which isn't recognizing it)?

Specs:

Windows 10 Home 64-bit, upgraded from Windows 7 about 3 months ago

How To Create A Desktop Icon For File Explorer

Aug 28, 2015

I just moved from W7 to W10 and haven't been able to figure out how to create a desktop app icon for file explorer. I can do it for apps that I've loaded, but can't figure it out for special Windows programs.

Yes, I have it in my task bar and can clearly see it in the start popup, but I'd still like to be able to launch with a desktop click, like I've been doing for years and years.
