The file explorer under Windows 7 is not easy to use. What about the copy button and the paste button?

Come with me, travel through time!

Windows 7 is a very classic operating system, but I always feel that there is something missing in the Windows 7 window. Every time I open Windows 7 to browse files, the window toolbar is empty. The two arrows forward and backward are quite big, but Other buttons such as copy, paste, cut, etc. are all gone, uh...

Compare Windows 8.1 with explorer , copy, paste, cut, delete and other function buttons It's all above the address, so it's so easy to use!

From Windows Vista to Windows 7, for unknown reasons, Microsoft hides the buttons for quick file operations. Starting from Windows 8, Microsoft has restored these buttons. In fact, If you have used the previous operating system, I believe you must be very familiar with these buttons

This is the resource manager of Windows 98 . Each button has both icons and text prompts. The operation efficiency is extremely high!

But it is not absent in Windows 7, but in "Organization", it can only be expanded after clicking "Organization":

I want to add these in Windows 7 Explorer How to operate the button to achieve the effect similar to that in Windows 98 or Windows 8?

1. The selected plan

After some searching, two plans were found.

solution one is to modify the registry of the Windows 7 system,Let the Windows 7 system itself display these buttons, just like preview, share, slide show, print, create new folder, etc. on the right side of "Organization".

This solution is very troublesome to operate. It is difficult to achieve the effect of the icon next to the "Preview" button above. The registry (new creation and modification under FolderTypes) will be involved in the process. ) The problem of operation authority is not easy to solve.

Because the final effect is not good, this method is not ideal.

Solution two is to install a third-party software to achieve the effect similar to the Explorer in Windows 8.1, search for a software called "Better Explorer"

3 There are two download links, I downloaded the first one, and then started the installation.

Second, the realization process (tortuous stage)

1. Run the Better Explorer installation file. After loading, the software prompts that the .Net Framework 4.6/4.6.1/4.7.2 needs to be installed in the Windows 7 system, a total of three

In many cases, due to the lack of support from the .Net Framework, software developed using related technologies cannot run in the system.

This software defaults to automatic download on the Internet, Web Installers mode, but it is not successful.

There will be errors in version 4.7.2

2. Therefore,I had to decide to install these three support packages in Windows 7 manually.

Log in to Microsoft's official website, search and download the local installer

The first two are better to find

.Net Framework 4.6 https://www.microsoft.com/zh-CN/download/details.aspx? id=48137

.Net Framework 4.6.1 https://www.microsoft.com/zh-CN/download/details.aspx?id=49982

The third one is not easy to find, and the above two Different versions, this interface is a bit messy

.Net Framework 4.7.2

https://download.visualstudio.microsoft.com/download/pr/1f5af042-d0e4-4002-9c59-9ba66bcf15f6/089f837de42708daacaae7c04b7494db/ndp472 -kb4054530-x86-x64-allos-enu.exe

3. Next, install it in Windows 7. This is similar to the download process. The installation of the first two versions is relatively smooth.

When I installed the third version 4.7.2, it was halfway through and stopped!

says "the certificate error has been processed, but terminated in the root certificate trusted by the untrusted provider". What this means is completely unintelligible.

4. Changed another method,Use the online installer of .Net Framwork 4.7.2 (https://download.visualstudio.microsoft.com/download/pr/1f5af042-d0e4-4002-9c59-9ba66bcf15f6/124d2afe5c8f67dfa910da5f9e3db9c1/ndp472-kb4054531-web.exe) to install , It was normal at first, but after a while the installation process will remain stuck...

5. What should I do? Go back to the local installation error prompt in step 3 and search The search result seems to be a certificate that needs to be imported into the system.

This is the official document from Microsoft download.microsoft.com

I won’t go into details here. Importing the certificate and running the 4.7.2 installer still doesn’t work.

error message has changed, it may be that the certificate is incorrect.

But this basically confirms that the reason for the unsuccessful installation is related to the certificate.

6. Let's change another way.

next best?

Remember that there were two versions to choose from when you first downloaded Better Explorer, this time I changed to an earlier version!

When

is running, it will prompt whether to download a new version. You must choose No!

7. Enter the installation program

8. OH! OMG!

also requires .NET Framework 4.7.2,"Must install" is also displayed on the far right!

error persists,

still cannot continue!

9. So far, I have confirmed, but if I want to install the Better Explorer software, then the Windows 7 system must be installed with .NET Framework 4.7.2, so, solve The key to the problem is to go back, which is to solve the installation problem.

10. Because the certificate installation cannot solve the problem, I searched again with the time stamp error after adding the certificate. This time I found that maybe the Windows 7 security update (KB2813430) can solve the problem.

download link:

Windows 7 security update for x64-based systems (KB2813430) (64-bit systems)

https://www.microsoft.com/zh-CN/download/ details.aspx?id=39115

Windows 7 security update (KB2813430) (32-bit system)

https://www.microsoft.com/zh-CN/download/details.aspx?id=39110

11. The installation of this update program is relatively smooth, the system will proceed automatically, and the computer needs to be restarted after completion.

12. After entering the system again, I ran the local installer of .NET Framework 4.7.2,Seeing that the file security verification is over, it is estimated that there will be a play!

14. The installation needs to wait, but this time it did not disappoint!

is installed!

3. Final installation and effect

15. Now that the runtime libraries required by Better Explorer have been installed, is there no problem with installing the software now?

Try it now.

16. Start the new version of the installer

The installation screen is different! There is a big icon in the middle!

17. After reading and accepting the license agreement

18, it seems smooth

19, an error occurred in the shortcut

19, This does not affect

20. If it is true, click OK to continue the installation, and finally the software gives a prompt that the installation is completed successfully!

21. Start the software

The black interface is not good-looking, look for adjustments

22, it really has a light style
