Re: Windows 10 April Update and date/time stamp of eml files

These eml files are saved by drag & drop from Thunderbird as a way to create instant manual backups. These date changes never happened before the April Update. The problem is not the infotip. The problem is that the file date/time stamp is altered. It is visible in xplorer² if you have these eml...

Re: Ejecting a USB key after Windows 10 1803 April Update

Ejecting a USB key or an external drive is now working flawlessly from the right-click menu in xplorer² Drive Bar. This is the result of installing the latest KB (May 8, 2018—KB4103721 (OS Build 17134.48)). Problem solved! :party:

Windows 10 April Update and date/time stamp of eml files

At first, I could not believe my eyes. But it was actually happening: whenever I hover the mouse pointer over a file with eml extension, the file date/time stamps that are displayed within the popup tooltip are automatically changed to the current date/time! This is an offspring of Windows 10 April ...

Re: Ejecting a USB key after Windows 10 1803 April Update

As I said, If I use the Safely Remove Hardware icon on the Windows taskbar to eject the drive, it does not get ejected if the drive contents are still being displayed in xplorer². I need to display a different drive in xplorer² or close xplorer² to be able to actually eject the drive through the Saf...

Re: Ejecting a USB key after Windows 10 1803 April Update

When I insert an external hard drive, the xplorer² Drive Bar updates correctly. If I right-click the corresponding Drive Bar Letter, I have “Safely remove” as top command. If I click that command, I get some kind of communication between the drive and the system but the drive is not disconnected and...

Re: Ejecting a USB key after Windows 10 1803 April Update

I reset “Item Icons” to “no icons” and right-drag started working again. Problem solved! Windows works in mysterious ways…

Re: Ejecting a USB key after Windows 10 1803 April Update

I just found out why right-drag was not working: I had set “Item Icons” to “no icons”. As soon as I reset it to “Normal”, right-drag started working again. Problem solved!
But I’ll go back to “no icons”. I don’t need icons! File names and extensions are quite enough.

Re: Ejecting a USB key after Windows 10 1803 April Update

It is not happening on my system (Windows 10 Home). But I am not sure it ever happened. I never noticed anything of the kind. This might be due to the fact that my mouse is controlled by X-Mouse Button Control . I do have a problem with the mouse though, and this is not linked to the Windows April U...

Re: Ejecting a USB key after Windows 10 1803 April Update

After eject from the Drive Bar, the drive letter is still showing in both the Drive Bar and My Computer. If I eject from My Computer, the drive letter is removed from the xplorer² Drive Bar, but it is still showing in My Computer. If I unplug the USB key, the drive letter is removed from the xplorer...

Ejecting a USB key after Windows 10 1803 April Update

This is after Windows 10 1803 April Update. If I use the Safely Remove Hardware icon on the Windows taskbar to eject a USB Drive, the icon vanishes from the Notification Area after ejection of the drive. If I use the xplorer² “Eject” command in the right-click menu of the xplorer² Drive Bar, the cor...

Re: Ghost Drive Letter in Windows 10 April Update

I found a solution to this at How to Remove Phantom Drives:
command promt as administrator
diskpart
list volume (you can now see which volume has letter)
select volume x (x is the volume number of the letter you want removed)
remove letter=x (x is the selected volume letter)
This did the trick! :D

Ghost Drive Letter in Windows 10 April Update

Windows 10 1803 April Update automatically creates a new “Recovery Partition”. The files and folders in that “Recovery Drive” are out of bounds and remain invisible to all file managers. That “Recovery Partition” is still given a Drive Letter. Would there be any way to hide that useless drive letter...

Re: How to display help in default browser?

I found a workaround of sorts.
I have created an xplorer² User Command with "C:\Program Files\xplorer2_ult\x2help.htm" as the command-line and “Ctrl+1” as shortcut. “Ctrl+1” now brings up the help from within xplorer² and it opens in Firefox. :D
