Windows Explorer - some properties in details view show blank
by Guest Jazzer- 0 replies
- 171 views
I use the Choose Details menu in Windows Exploer detail view to add extra columns showing information held in the File Properties fields of individual files. Most work as expected, however there are a few that don't: eg Keywords, Company. They show blank, even if there is some content in the field (using Word documents as an example). Some fields in the Summary and in Custom Properties don't appear in the Chooser list: eg Manager, and even if you create a custom property to match these or any of the other options in the Chooser, they still appear blank. Is this just a "feature" of Windows / Office? Perhaps someone has some tricks to make this wo…

Hi all, Here is a summary of what is teh probelm and what I have done so far. When a user plugs in any USB flash drive, the "Found New Hardware" Wizard pops up. If you follow it through, it eventually asks for the USBNTMAP.sys file which is a file associated with USB mass storage on Windows Me. I am definately on a Windows XP SP2 machine. These USB flash drives work perfectly on other Windows XP machines. What I have done: I have downloaded and installed the chipset drivers for the laptop. I have removed all USB devices in the Device manager and then rebooted the laptop. I had to reinstall all the USB devices manually by the way. I ran chkds…

Hi, I've been looking for a long time to solve this problem that has started in march 2008. Problem: when i connect an USB stick it is regonized and it's getting a letter. Then when I want to use the stick, it is not possible, because the stick is not shown in the explorer. But it is shown in "portable media devices" (configuration screen) and it has a device letter.(this is normal) But from this place you can't use any folder on the stick. To do that, I must make a copy and paste it on the harddisc to have this possibility. But thats not the way it should work. I have 3 USB stick that all works fine on my other 3 computer with the same OS, so the …
