To turn off Group By completely:

  1. Open any directory in Windows Explorer.
  2. Right-click and choose Group by > (None)
  3. Press the Alt key, so that the Explorer menu bar appears and chooseToolsFolder Options.
  4. Go to the View tab and click Apply to Folders. This will apply the Group By setting to all folders.

Network icon not appearing in taskbar but shows as working in Network Connections. Just doesn’t appear to be getting an IP.

This worked

Was getting pissed off when opening a CAB file in Windows 7, coping all files then trying to paste them in explorer.  Constantly kept asking the “File Download – Security Warning”.  I wasn’t going to sit through 1829 files and click SAVE, SAVE, SAVE, SAVE.   Couldn’t get rid of the fing message.

So found Expand, built into CMD.

Go to the directory the CAB file is in.

c:\drivers\

expand E6420.cab -f:*.* c:\drivers

The last part might actually be the following. I’m leaving above in case its different.

expand E6420.cab -f:* c:\drivers

  1. Close all folder windows that are currently open.
  2. Launch Task Manager using the CTRL+SHIFT+ESC key sequence, or by running taskmgr.exe
  3. In the Process tab, right-click on the Explorer.exe process and select End Process
  4. Click the End process button when asked for confirmation.
  5. From the File menu of Task Manager, select New Task (Run…)
  6. Type CMD.EXE, and click OK
  7. In the Command Prompt window, type the commands one by one and press ENTER after each command:CD /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local
    DEL IconCache.db /a
    EXIT
  8. In Task Manager, click File, select New Task (Run…)
  9. Type EXPLORER.EXE, and click OK.

 

Normally type

COMPUTER\administrator

Now you can just type

.\administrator
