The Parts of File Explorer
File Explorer Parts Description
1 | Navigation pane | From the Navigation pane, you can view your computer's file and folder structure and access files and folders. In the Navigation pane is the Quick access area; from the Quick access area, you can quickly and easily navigate to folders you use regularly. To add ('pin') a folder to the Quick access area, right-click on the folder name and then select Pin to Quick access from the drop-down menu. |
2 | Forward and Back buttons | Enables you to go to folders you've already opened. If you go to a different folder, you can choose the Back button to return to the last folder you accessed. |
3 | Ribbon | Enables you to perform layout, formatting, and sharing tasks, as well as how File Explorer displays your files and folders. Tasks available to you might differ depending on what folder you select (e.g., Documents vs Pictures). To display the Ribbon, click on one of the menu items at the top of File Explorer, or click on the Expand the Ribbon button (down-pointing arrow) located at the top right-hand side of File Explorer. |
4 | Address bar | Enables you to go to a different folder in the same Explorer window. (For more information, see Navigating the Address Bar.) |
5 | Column headings | Titles of each of the columns displayed in the file and folder list. You can choose which columns you want to display by adding a column heading or removing a column heading, as well as changing the order in which those columns are displayed. Click on a column heading to sort your files and folders by that column (e.g., date modified). |
6 | Search box | Allows you to search for subfolders, documents, images, programs, Web pages, and bookmarks in the current folder. |
7 | File and folder listing | Shows you the files and folders in the current folder (the folder you selected in the Navigation pane). |
8 | Preview/Details pane | Enables you to quickly preview an item, such as a photo, without having to open that item. To open the Preview pane (it isn't open by default), click on the View menu at the top of File Explorer, then click on the Preview pane button located at the left-hand side of the Ribbon in the Navigation pane area. |
9 | Status bar | Displays information about a selected folder and its contents, such as the total number of items in the folder, the number of items selected and total file size. Contains buttons that enable you to quickly switch between thumbnail and detail views for the items displayed in the current folder. |
The main danger with the date variable is the locale sensitivity. If you have PowerShell available (it's a lot more common these days even in the big corporations) then you can use PowerShell to do the formatting and wrap it within a batch FOR statement.

Opening File Explorer
To open File Explorer, click on the File Explorer icon located in the taskbar.
Alternatively, you can open File Explorer by clicking on the Start button and then clicking on File Explorer.
Displaying Subfolders
If you've used previous versions of Windows, you know that a folder name would have a plus sign next to it if that folder contains documents or subfolders.
With Windows 10, if a folder contains subfolders, that folder name will instead have a small right-pointing triangle next to it.
- No triangle next to a folder name ( ) means the folder has no subfolders.
- Right-pointing triangle next to a folder name ( ) means that the folder has subfolders.
- Down-pointing triangle next to a folder name ( ) means that subfolders are currently displayed for that folder.
To view a folder's subfolders, click on the right-pointing triangle next to the folder. The right-pointing triangle will turn into a down-pointing triangle, and the subfolders will be displayed, as shown below.
To hide a folder's subfolders, click on the down-pointing triangle of that folder so that the subfolders will no longer be displayed. (For more information, see Displaying Subfolders.)
Accessing Your Files and Folders
There are number of ways you can naviagate to your files and folders in File Explorer:
- Using the Address bar (located at the top of File Explorer). The Address bar shows the full path of your current location.
- Forward and Backward buttons
- From the Folders pane
- Using the Search function (searches file names and file and folder contents in the current folder to find items containing your search term)
Using the Address Bar
The Address bar, which is located at the top of File Explorer as shown below, displays the path of the currently selected folder.
File Explorer drop-down menus are available for each subfolder in the Address bar. So you can easily go backward or forward in the folder path by clicking on the right-pointing arrow next to a folder and selecting a subfolder from the drop-down menu.
Viewing Folders at the Same Level as Your Current Folder
To view the folders at the same level as the current folder, click on the right-pointing arrow to the left of that folder listing in the Address bar. (The screen example below shows that clicking on the arrow next to Documents displays all the folders at the same level as My Stuff.)
Note: The current folder (in this example, the My Stuff folder) is shown in boldface type.
Viewing Previously Visited Folders in the Address Bar
To view folders you've been to previously, you can do any of the following:
Click on the Forward or Back buttons. (These buttons work just like the Forward and Back buttons on a Web browser.)
Click on a folder name in the Address bar.
Viewing the Contents of a Folder in the Address Bar
Click on the right-pointing arrow next to the folder whose subfolders you want to view. The arrow changes to a downward-pointing arrow, and a drop-down list of the subfolders will be displayed.
Changing How Your Files and Folders are Displayed
You can change how your folder and file icons look, as well as display different information about them. Note: Changes you make will apply to the contents of the current folder only.
- Navigate to the folder whose display you want to change.
- Click on the View tab to display the Ribbon.
In View, you'll see the following available display options:(Note: If some of your files or folders are hidden when the Ribbon is displayed, you can pin the Ribbon to File Explorer (keep it displayed, or expanded, in File Explorer even if you're doing another task) by clicking on the up-pointing arrow on the top right-hand side of your File Explorer window; once you pin the Ribbon, you'll be able to see those previously hiddent files or folders.) Mysms 2 2.
- Move your mouse over each option to see a quick preview of that option in the area where your files and folders are displayed. To choose an option, just click on it. The following table lists and briefly describes each display option. (Note: To show more information about files and folders from display views that show little or no information (e.g., Large icons), you can open the Details Pane by clicking on the View menu, and then clicking on Details Pane. Click on an item to view the details of that item in the Details Pane.)
File/Folder View | What is looks like | Description |

Displaying Subfolders
In File Explorer, you will see a right-pointing bracket ( > ) next to any folder that contains subfolders. Just move your mouse over a folder name to see if it contains the bracket.
In the example above, 'This PC' contains subfolders. To display the subfolders, just click on the folder name.
There are a number of ways to display a folder in File Explorer:
- Click on a folder if it's listed in the Navigation pane
- Click on a folder in the Address bar to display its subfolders
- Double-click on a folder in the file and folder listing to display any subfolders
You can also add any folder to the Quick access area that you go to frequently by right-clicking on the folder and selecting Pin to Quick access from the drop-down menu.
You'll now be able to open the folder at any time from the Quick access area:
Searching for Files
Windows 10 comes with a powerful search capability. Windows 10 will search all file types—documents, images, music, Web pages—as well as bookmarks and program shortcuts on your Desktop. Windows 10 will search file content, as well as file and folder names.
- Navigate to the folder where you want to search for items. You will see the Search box in the upper right-hand corner of the Windows Explorer window. (You should see a small magnifying glass icon on the right-hand side of the text area.)
(Note: Windows 10 searches in your current folder. So, for example, if you're looking for a file that you know exists somewhere in your Documents folder, you may want to conduct your search from the top level of the Documents folder [not from a subfolder in Documents] to have the best chance of finding that file.)When you click inside the Search text box, Windows displays a Search Tools ribbon (shown below), which provides numerous options you can select for your search.
- Type the desired search text in the Search box. Choose the desired search criteria from the Search Tools ribbon. (Some of the search criteria you select might be added to the Search text area; Windows updates the search results automatically as you enter search criteria.)As you type your search text, Windows automatically displays in the file and folder list area any iitems that match your search criteria. The Address bar will also display Search results in [current folder name]; in the example below, Search results in Documents is displayed in the Address bar. If not already displayed, expand the File Explorer window to also display file or folder location, text snippet for text documents, or dimensions for image files.
- If you've set up search criteria you want to retain for a future search, you can save that search by clicking Save search.
Creating a Shortcut to a Folder
You can add a folder in the Quick access area of the Navigation Pane as a shortcut, much like you might add a bookmark in a Web browser. Creating a shortcut enables you to quickly and easily get to any folder you use frequently.
- Open Windows Explorer.
- Navigate to the folder for which you want to create a shortcut.
- Drag the folder icon to the Favorite Links section, and then drop it in the position you want it to appear. (A horizontal line changes position as you move your mouse. The line indicates where your icon will appear.)
The folder will be displayed in the Quick access area, as shown in the example below.

Onboard devices using System Center Configuration Manager
Check out the PDF or Visio to see the various paths in deploying Microsoft Defender ATP.
Open the Configuration Manager configuration package .zip file (WindowsDefenderATPOnboardingPackage.zip) that you downloaded from the service onboarding wizard. You can also get the package from Microsoft Defender Security Center: Diskwarrior 5 1 – popular and powerful disk utility box.
a. In the navigation pane, select Settings > Onboarding.
b. Select Windows 10 as the operating system.
c. In the Deployment method field, select System Center Configuration Manager 2012/2012 R2/1511/1602.
d. Select Download package, and save the .zip file.
Extract the contents of the .zip file to a shared, read-only location that can be accessed by the network administrators who will deploy the package. You should have a file named WindowsDefenderATPOnboardingScript.cmd.
Deploy the package by following the steps in the Packages and Programs in System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager article.
a. Choose a predefined device collection to deploy the package to. Cloudtv 3 7 4 – international tv on your desktop.
Note
Microsoft Defender ATP doesn't support onboarding during the Out-Of-Box Experience (OOBE) phase. Make sure users complete OOBE after running Windows installation or upgrading.
Tip
After onboarding the device, you can choose to run a detection test to verify that an device is properly onboarded to the service. For more information, see Run a detection test on a newly onboarded Microsoft Defender ATP device.
Note that it is possible to create a detection rule on a Configuration Manager application to continuously check if a device has been onboarded. An application is a different type of object than a package and program.If a device is not yet onboarded (due to pending OOBE completion or any other reason), Configuration Manager will retry to onboard the device until the rule detects the status change.
Icash 7 6 5 – personal finance tracker. This behavior can be accomplished by creating a detection rule checking if the 'OnboardingState' registry value (of type REG_DWORD) = 1.This registry value is located under 'HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows Advanced Threat ProtectionStatus'.For more information, see Configure Detection Methods in System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager.
Configure sample collection settings
For each device, you can set a configuration value to state whether samples can be collected from the device when a request is made through Microsoft Defender Security Center to submit a file for deep analysis.
Note
These configuration settings are typically done through Configuration Manager.
You can set a compliance rule for configuration item in Configuration Manager to change the sample share setting on a device.
This rule should be a remediating compliance rule configuration item that sets the value of a registry key on targeted devices to make sure they're complaint.
The configuration is set through the following registry key entry:
Where:
Key type is a D-WORD.
Possible values are:
- 0 - doesn't allow sample sharing from this device
- 1 - allows sharing of all file types from this device
The default value in case the registry key doesn't exist is 1.
For more information about System Center Configuration Manager Compliance, see Introduction to compliance settings in System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager.
Other recommended configuration settings
After onboarding devices to the service, it's important to take advantage of the included threat protection capabilities by enabling them with the following recommended configuration settings.
Device collection configuration
If you're using Endpoint Configuration Manager, version 2002 or later, you can choose to broaden the deployment to include servers or down-level clients.
Next generation protection configuration
The following configuration settings are recommended:
Scan
- Scan removable storage devices such as USB drives: Yes
Real-time Protection
- Enable Behavioral Monitoring: Yes
- Enable protection against Potentially Unwanted Applications at download and prior to installation: Yes
Cloud Protection Service
- Cloud Protection Service membership type: Advanced membership
Attack surface reductionConfigure all available rules to Audit.
Note
File Pane 1 10 7 Mm Equals
Blocking these activities may interrupt legitimate business processes. The best approach is setting everything to audit, identifying which ones are safe to turn on, and then enabling those settings on endpoints which do not have false positive detections.
Network protection
Prior to enabling network protection in audit or block mode, ensure that you've installed the antimalware platform update, which can be obtained from the support page.
Controlled folder access
Enable the feature in audit mode for at least 30 days. After this period, review detections and create a list of applications that are allowed to write to protected directories.
For more information, see Evaluate controlled folder access.
Offboard devices using Configuration Manager
For security reasons, the package used to Offboard devices will expire 30 days after the date it was downloaded. Motoman erc manual. Expired offboarding packages sent to a device will be rejected. When downloading an offboarding package, you will be notified of the packages expiry date and it will also be included in the package name.
Note
Onboarding and offboarding policies must not be deployed on the same device at the same time, otherwise this will cause unpredictable collisions.
Offboard devices using Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager current branch
If you use Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager current branch, see Create an offboarding configuration file.
Offboard devices using System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager
Get the offboarding package from Microsoft Defender Security Center:
a. In the navigation pane, select Settings > Offboarding.
b. Select Windows 10 as the operating system.
c. In the Deployment method field, select System Center Configuration Manager 2012/2012 R2/1511/1602.
d. Select Download package, and save the .zip file.
Extract the contents of the .zip file to a shared, read-only location that can be accessed by the network administrators who will deploy the package. You should have a file named WindowsDefenderATPOffboardingScript_valid_until_YYYY-MM-DD.cmd.
Deploy the package by following the steps in the Packages and Programs in System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager article.
a. Choose a predefined device collection to deploy the package to.
Important
Offboarding causes the device to stop sending sensor data to the portal but data from the device, including reference to any alerts it has had will be retained for up to 6 months.
Monitor device configuration
If you're using Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager current branch, use the built-in Microsoft Defender ATP dashboard in the Configuration Manager console. For more information, see Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection - Monitor.
If you're using System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager, monitoring consists of two parts:
Confirming the configuration package has been correctly deployed and is running (or has successfully run) on the devices in your network.
Checking that the devices are compliant with the Microsoft Defender ATP service (this ensures the device can complete the onboarding process and can continue to report data to the service).
Confirm the configuration package has been correctly deployed
In the Configuration Manager console, click Monitoring at the bottom of the navigation pane.
Select Overview and then Deployments.
Select on the deployment with the package name.
Review the status indicators under Completion Statistics and Content Status.
If there are failed deployments (devices with Error, Requirements Not Met, or Failed statuses), you may need to troubleshoot the devices. For more information, see, Troubleshoot Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection onboarding issues.
Check that the devices are compliant with the Microsoft Defender ATP service
You can set a compliance rule for configuration item in System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager to monitor your deployment.
This rule should be a non-remediating compliance rule configuration item that monitors the value of a registry key on targeted devices.
Monitor the following registry key entry:
