Any time I open sub folders of the Music folder on this system containing MP3s with Explorer, they always have the music customization, but I tend to use file-naming conventions that don't make this customization necessary... I'd rather just see a general view.   I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium, Compaq CQ2014 (2011).  How do I avoid "music" customization in music sub folders?

I have an empty folder with regular details view. File name, file size, file type columns are shown and I am happy.   Then I put some MP3 or WAV files in. Windows Explorer "kindly" changes the column types. It will show Genre, media length, Album and other metadata tags, but does not show the file size anymore. If I do not like it, I have to manually change the columns back. It is very irritating.  How can I turn this automatic behavior off?

Recently, Firefox has changed the default folder for newly created bookmarks (using Ctrl+D) from the Bookmarks Menu to "Other Bookmarks".  Is there some way to change that back? Or some alternate method instead of Ctrl+D?  EDIT  A native way to do this (without an add-on) would be best.

in order to add context menu for directories and explorer background, one can follow instructions .   To add context menu for specific file extensions, one can follow instructions   but I can't seem to find a way to add context menu items for all files?

Using . Everything works fine, but it appears there are limits - when selecting more than 15 folders, &quot;Take Ownership&quot; context menu entry disappears. Same goes with files, 15 is maximum. Where does that limit of 15 come from and why does it exist?

I must be missing something really obvious, but when in Nautilus, how do I create a new folder if the window is full of other folders/files?  Whenever I right click, only the context menu of a subfolder/file is given, as the window is full:

How can I download or turn on my stereo mix feature in Windows 7? In music chat rooms I can't play music. When I had Windows XP, I had the stereo mix option in Audio settings. I can't seem to find it here.

Is there some way to get explorer to generate thumbnails without actually having to navigate and scroll through every folder?  All I could get was a command prompt script that would load an explorer window for all subfolders, however only images that were visible would have thumbnails created.

Dose anyone know how to make application folders like the 'utilities' folder? It's because I have a lot of apps and want to group them by topic.

I can't use the Windows 7 File Explorer search successfully. If I enter a search string, for instance car in the search box, I just get No files found, despite obviously having several files that match the string (blue_cars.jpg, carrot.gif) in the current folder. I have edited the search options so that both file names and contents are searched, even if they are not indexed.  What am I doing wrong here?

I want to pull all mp3's that accidentially have been put into a flac folder out of it, to their parent folder.  It should not matter how deep the folders are, I just want to move the matching files exactly one directory up.  Here's how I select my files:  find . -path "*/flac/*" -name '*.mp3'   This works from my music folder, but I am stuck here. All solutions I have found, either move the files to the parent of the current folder, or require some fixed structure.

A friend with Windows 7 somehow managed to create a folder on her computer whose name ends with "...".  Normally, Windows won't let you create folders with names ending like that. I really don't know how she managed to do it.  The Windows Explorer doesn't suffer from it too much, as all files inside are accessible and can be manipulated normally. However, it's impossible to rename it or delete it. Worse, it's impossible to delete the parent folder as well.  It can't be reached through the command line as it says the file doesn't exist.  Anyone knows a way to fix that? I don't mind to blow it up as I can move files from and to it through the Explorer normally.

I like the music, but I still prefer my own music.  Is there an ingame way to change the volume?   I can't find it.

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and I'm having some weird behavior. In Windows Explorer, I'm viewing a directory with lots of sub-directories in "Details" view. I'm scrolled down a bit (see 1st screenshot).    I enter a sub-directory (in this case, KDiff3) via double-click, then navigate back via the back button. Now, Windows Explorer has forgotten its original vertical scroll position. It's still highlighting the sub-directory I just came from, but now it's scrolled so that that sub-directory is all the way down (see 2nd screenshot).    I've never experienced this behavior before and it's a bit of a pain. Does anybody know how to fix this?

Let me give you an example of the rather odd functionality I'm after. Imagine you have your local HDD, an external HDD, and a usb stick, all containing a folder called "MediumMedley". When all these storage mediums are connected, you want to query all these locations and display a merger of the results within one location, to have a proper overview.  Can anyone think of any ways to achieve something akin to this? Bonus points if the end result is a windows explorer window (I want full explorer functionality, ie thumbnails, context menus etc).  One approach I tried was to do a custom search (looking at this SU question:  ), which works, but as far as I can tell (doing an empty * search) you can only get windows search to show a flattened hierarchy of the queried folders - not very helpful.  I could easily write a .net app myself to do exactly this, but I won't be able to easily build a pretty client with context menus, thumbnails etc...  --  PS: I need these folders each in their own storage medium, as exemplified, for reasons. Don't tell me that I should just use dropbox. Unless you know a trick that solves what I ask.

This may happen later with my iMac, but right now it is happening for my iTunes on PC.  The PC had 60GB of partition to install Windows 7, and right now it is down to about 2GB of free space.  All iTunes purchases, including Music and Movies, are downloaded to  C:\Users\mike\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music  C:\Users\mike\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Movies   which will make the C: drive have less and less free space.  (and C: will be more healthy if it has at least a couple of GB of free space).  What is the safest, most proper way to migrate all the media to an external hard drive J: ?  On J:, the path might be:  J:\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music   or  J:\iTunes Media\Music   My guess is that we can change the folder in iTunes, but won't iTunes go to that folder or create it, and find nothing, and index everything wrong?  So, should an exact copy of C:\Users\mike\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media be made as J:\iTunes Media first (probably 30GB of files copying), and then start iTunes and change the preference for the folder to the J: one?  Is there a standard or official method to do this?

My file explorer isn't showing the relationship of the Desktop shortcut with other shortcuts correctly.  As you can see here, &quot;This PC,&quot; &quot;Libraries,&quot; etc., are showing under &quot;Desktop,&quot; which is not what I wanted. I'd like all the shortcuts above to be displayed at the outmost level. The only change that I've committed and relate is that I changed the directory of the desktop into this:  But I've done nothing other than I can relate to this problem. Can anyone please help? Thanks in advance.
