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.

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.
