I was using File Explorer wrong all along

I was using File Explorer wrong all along

Published by skeptic

Like most people, I’ve used File Explorer for years. And also, like most people, I thought I knew everything about it. But I couldn’t have been more wrong. File Explorer has a few tricks that go unnoticed. You can use search filters to improve how you find files, preview documents without opening them, and organize your most important files so they’re always easy to reach. Now that I’ve started exploring some of its lesser-known features, I’ve realized File Explorer is way better than most of us give it credit for. Search works better when you use filters Stop scrolling through an endless list I used to treat the File Explorer search bar like the one in any other app. Type the name of a file and folder, hit Enter, and hope for the right result to magically appear near the top. Most of the time, that never happens, which means scrolling through a wall of files and trying to visually spot what I need. But File Explorer’s search is much more powerful than it looks. …

Starforge Explorer III Pro Review: A Worthy Rival to DIY in Performance and Value

Starforge Explorer III Pro Review: A Worthy Rival to DIY in Performance and Value

Published by skeptic

Starforge Explorer III Pro Pros Excellent performance all around Solid connectivity Plenty of upgrade options Effective cooling with good dust filtration Cons Very large case Audible fans Prebuilt gaming PCs come in a couple of flavors. One flavor is those from big PC makers like Dell, HP and Lenovo. Their approach is typically unique cases and a lot of custom parts. Another flavor is PCs from boutique builders who combine off-the-shelf parts, sometimes paired with a custom-designed case. The Starforge Explorer III Pro is definitely that latter flavor, relying entirely on components you could buy yourself. While systems from boutique builders tend to have a price premium, the Explorer III Pro is competitive not just with big-name options but also compared with building it yourself using similar components.  The Explorer III Pro has a high-end configuration for its $3,900 price and packs its components comfortably in a massive case. Cable management and airflow are all well done, and the system has an elegance not just for its lack of gaudy RGB, but also for its …

There’s a simple reason why File Explorer takes forever to start copying

There’s a simple reason why File Explorer takes forever to start copying

Published by skeptic

You drag a folder from one spot to another, expecting an instant handoff. Instead, File Explorer stalls on “Calculating…“, the progress bar nowhere in sight, leaving you to wonder whether the system has locked up. It’s a familiar irritation — and one that can surface even when you’re moving a modest amount of data. The truth is, File Explorer isn’t actually stuck; it stems from a deliberate design choice in how Windows stages file operations before they begin. Understanding that decision not only explains the lag but also finds ways to copy files faster on Windows by working around these default behaviors. File Explorer prepares files first (and that’s why copying seems slow to start) Your computer is taking attendance before class begins When you ask Windows to copy or move a batch of files, File Explorer doesn’t start pushing data right away. It first enters an enumeration phase, scanning everything you’ve selected. During this pass, you’ll see prompts like “Discovering items” or “Calculating time required to copy files.” Windows is essentially building a complete …
