Windows Explorer "File Count" not working

In Windows Explorer, I recently used View / Choose Details.. to add "File Count" as a column in Explorer. I assume the function of this detail is to list the number of files in a folder. However, it doesn't seem to work. The column has nothing in it. I've tried this with several folders th...

Happy Birthday

By extrapolation of Moore's Law, the number of these little guys in existence today could be 1,152,921,504,606,846,976, or 2^60... give or take.

I'd post my admittedly crude attempt at a TR Folding bumper sticker again, as it pretty much sums up the whole point of folding, imo, but then I'm sure I'd get blindfolded and shot at sunrise.

You really had nothing better to pick on today, did you? Diamond didn't post a link today hyping their latest 10 Mhz speed bump video card iteration, with bells, whistles, and the name of a guy they also pay to wear their t-shirts, as if to infer that having the name of a winning gamer on a video c...

If every ad in a 3rd party rotation feed means each company is a sponsor of the site, then TR will have a very long list of "sponsors". (That may be a good thing, no? :)) Granted you can certainly extend the definition of sponsors that way, I was thinking more along the lines of Diamond a...

Not everyone in the world gets the same ads. I personally don't recall ever seeing a XFX ad on TR, not that it matters.

The ads cycle with page loads. You may not have seen one before, but someone with 10,000+ posts should have seen it a thousand times. Should have. ;)

If TR sponsors are going to get special treatment regarding spam, that should be stated somewhere. As far as I know XFX is not a sponsor to the site. So I don't see where this is going. http://home.comcast.net/~norcim/XFX_ad.JPG Um, I guess you must have your adblocker on then, eh? As for the rest,...

If just by mentioning a product (or by extension, anything) is really shilling, then we may as well just ban all linking to other things.. There is a world of difference between mentioning a product someone saw but has no fiscal interest in or other conflict of interest, and linking something you'r...

How is this different than any other unsolicited spam by someone shilling for business or site traffic? When the rules get changed to allow anyone to turn this forum into a billboard, but only if they're a big company, lemme know. Or maybe it's just TR sponsors that get to spam ads in the forum. Fun...
