    File explorer won't open!
    « on: January 23, 2015, 02:45:55 PM »
    Hello, I have a Lenovo Ideapad 410p and I have been having some problems. Whenever I want to open a folder or really anything that involves the File Explorer, it doesn't come up. I know for a fact it's open because it's on the task bar and the Task Manager. Plus, i can see the thumbnail. I would really like some help with this please!

    When you see it on the taskbar right-click on it and select "Maximize". What happens?

      go to task manager first.. ( use ctrl+shift+esc), then go for File->Run New Task-> in that window type "explorer" (without inverted commas),, explorer opens

      Where did you right click?  You need to right click on the thumbnail that appears when you hover your mouse over the icon on the taskbar; right clicking on the taskbar icon will not show "Maximze".
