Unable to paste in conhost.exe hidden system file

#1 Post by Forez » 03.08.2022, 16:20

This comes straight out of this discussion: https://www.voidtools.com/forum/viewtop ... =6&t=11835

In short: a Windows user can copy to clipboard location of file

C:\Windows\System32\conhost.exe

when accessing it with Windows Explorer or that Everything program - but it unable to paste it in to any location using FreeCommander, because of the pop-up error saying "Could not find this item" [while pasting it in Windows Explorer works]. I remember that there was some discussion about FC not being able to see all of the system files - but I could not find it now

Can this inaccessibility in FC be somehow averted?


I am using FreeCommander version 861 32-bit public Windows 10 Enterprise 20H2 19042.746 x64

Yes. As it comes out e.g. conhost.exe is only available as 64-bit on a 64-bit operating sysytem - thus the ability of accessing it in Windows Explorer on 64-bit Windows but not in 32-bit version of FreeCommander

Why don't you spend a small amount of money to get the x64 version of FC.
It has many benefits to do so.
Windows 11 Home x64 Version 23H2 (OS Build 22631.3296)
Everything Version 1.5.0.1371a (x64), Everything Toolbar 1.3.2, Listary Pro 6.3.0.67
FreeCommander XE 2024 Build 905 64-bit donor
