Windows 11 - File Explorer

aussie1855 · Jul 19, 2024

Hi guys,

I recently recovered deleted and formatted files from several small disk onto one very large disk. Now I want to view and catalog them to various sub-directories so i can get various programmes to open those files.

Problem: Is that File explorer keeps trying to search/index/open these files and there is over 8tb of files.

Solution: How to stop file explorer from do this. But how?

Comments would be gratefully recieved

One Commander is the Best file explorer ever in my opinion. I have a 4TB drive for all my guitar videos, pdfs etc and currently have about 1.5 TBs used. Well when i want to search the SSD, Windows File explorer is like a donkey and takes forever to find anything, I open the drive in onecommander and it literally finds ANYTHING in a blink of an eye. How does a 3rd party file explorer work 100 times better then Microsofts own embedded one..lol. IDK but again OneCommander rocks. I have the full paid Pro version but the free version works just the same minus a few bells.

thanks again and best of luck. Steve ..

I'm here doing research on File Manager/Explorer whateva it's called now. I downloaded OneCommander to check it out. I get this error. Also got this error when trying to open a .jar file (separate post)

Browse to C:\Program Files\OneCommander\OneCommander.exe and right click it and Run As Administrator
You can also Right click it and choose Properties/ Compatibility.
Put a check in the box Run As Administrator. Apply and OK. It now will always Run as Administrator.
Double click OneCommander.exe to run it.

Did you install the full installer .exe or are you using the portable version?
I have the full install of Pro but sometimes use the portable, never had to set as administrator or seen that, try the portable version once.

I think it was pcmatic blocking it from running!
