    Why does windows file explorer suck so horribly?


    Why does windows file explorer not recognize copy ctrl-c and paste ctrl-v sometimes? I often have to repeat the process multiple times before it works. Why does search highjack all tabs of windows file explorer? If I perform a search in one file explorer tab, then the address bar and commands switch to search in all tabs and the other tabs become unusable. This seems like a buggy piece-of-**** app, not the foundational file management interface for the Windows OS.

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Why does windows file explorer suck so horribly?

    Some files listed in Windows Explorer are blue font

    I seem to have run out of room on a Windows XP Pro system. I tried to defrag but don't have but 7% room available. I looked in Windows Explorer to try to find some huge files that might be corrupt and I see a few that are listed in blue. What does that mean? I have not compressed anything on purpose. Thanks
