    Windows said it needed to restart to install an update, so I restarted my computer and after about an hour it finished. When My computer turned back on there were a few issues, but the most important one is that file explorer no longer has the "Quick access", "Desktop", "My Computer" and "C:" tabs. When I open it I get this Error and File explorer goes to the Quick access folder but if I click anything it crashes. How do I fix this? its been very difficult to navigate my filesystem.

    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

    Windows update massed up file explorer

    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
