Undo move and undo copy not work window explorer

0

Able to undo rename and undo delete but undo move and undo copy not work(Press Ctrl + Z or Edit -> undo

This is my step :

  • Turn on status bar
  • Create a folder and then drag a file into it
  • Click Edit(in Menu bar) -> hover to undo (doing this i can see from status bar what I am doing)

--> Both undo move and undo copy are grayed out in the Edit Menu

This is all occurring on my local computer (not over a network).

Also, if I delete a file, it does go to the recycle bin as expected.

Assuming that after the file is copied some process is removing the history, I tried to copy 1 file from folder1 to folder2. Then, without copying again, pasting into folder3. The file copies to both locations fine.

What should I do?

Hmm. Works as expected for me (Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit) – DavidPostill – 2014-12-01T10:57:00.700

@Dave I am using local machine not network location. I wonder if any service, feature or config associate or depend on it ? – Wiliamnewman – 2014-12-01T12:44:53.313

@Dave Yes, Of course, I'm just Delete not (Shift + Delete) and i have been go to Recycle bin to confirm – Wiliamnewman – 2014-12-01T13:06:32.753

@Dave If i move or copy both does not appear in Edit Menu(In this case it will be gray out). If i have been rename or delete file before so it will be "Undo Rename" Or "Undo Delete" – Wiliamnewman – 2014-12-01T13:32:34.347

@Dave Sorry to tell you that event is all right. I can copy file1 from folder1 and paste to folder1,2,3...n. – Wiliamnewman – 2014-12-01T13:55:22.890

I can only guess now - I have no idea. I would attempt a system restore, or perform a restore. Maybe a chkdsk /f as well – Dave – 2014-12-01T14:07:48.133

@Dave I will try using system restore. Thank you very much for help!!! – Wiliamnewman – 2014-12-01T14:16:24.577

Finally I known what is the problem !!!

I had install alternate copier for window explorer and use it as default copier(replace window explorer copy and paste event) like : TeraCopy or ExtremeCopy.
So if i use those app as default handler both "undo copy and undo move" will not function.
