Photoshop CC 2015 Export As Desktop folder bug

Do Adobe reps monitor these forums? How long will this take. It's really slowing my work rate...

I too have to deal with this. I tried the registry fix but it isn't permanent, it comes back every time. It doesn't only happen to the Downloads folder, but the Desktop folder (and probably others as well, depending on which folders you export to).

A few possible troubleshooting points for the folks at Adobe (if ever they're still listening to their paying customers), is that after using the new Export As function, Photoshop will attempt to open up the folder it exported to.

Somehow Photoshop doesn't use the existing This PC > Downloads or D:\Downloads path but uses a separate Downloads path. This is the same path that opens up in 1 or 2 new windows whenever you click on a folder in the Downloads folder.

My guess is that Photoshop was programmed to change/use the registry to fire up the exported folder, and that causes the path to the folder to be wonky.

Please fix it guys!

Hello,

I have the same problem, and deleting the NavPane folder from the registry didn't help at all this time. Worked with another build of win10, maybe with the newest versions something changed.

PLEASE, tell me how to fix this annoying BUG, becuase, yes, it's a BUG.

Regards,

Stefano.

Indeed, this issue has still not been addressed and is incredibly time consuming and frustrating.  Please can someone at least confirm that Adobe have managed to reproduce the issue and are looking into it?

Still not fixed, making day to day work a real pain with all these folders popping up! is this issue being addressed?!

Please adobe fix this ... it annoys the hell out of me

Advance only, beware.

Create a .reg file and paste the following inside of it save as whatever you want.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Modules\NavPane] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Modules\NavPane]

Create a .bat file and paste the following inside of it replacing the name and location of the .reg file with the one you just created and save as whatever you want.

taskkill /f /im "explorer.exe" regedit.exe /s C:\NavPane.reg explorer.exe

Run as admin whenever you need it.

**What I'm about to say has barely been tested and should be used at your own risk**

In order to make this fix somewhat more permanent, I did the following:

In regedit navigate to:

          HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Modules

Right click on "Modules" and select "Permissions"

Click "Advanced" in the bottom right

At the bottom, hit "Disable Inheritance" (not sure if this is required)

For each item in the main list, select it and click edit below the list. In this new window, make sure "Read" is the only box selected and that it applies to this key and all subkeys.

Once you've changed that for every item, hit "Ok" on both 2 remaining popups, close the registry editor, and restart your computer (simply killing explorer will not be enough in this case).

I have been using this fix for about an hour with no repercussions and it has not reverted. However, since nothing can write to this key anymore, this could be dangerous, so do this at your own risk!!

Hope this helps!

Want to get my 2 cents in here - having the same issue here.  Stupid folder keeps opening up on me all day while I am trying to work.

I managed to fix this issue myself.

When you use quick export or save as Photoshop CC does some nasty stuff with your registry, luckily you can just delete the key it changes. After I deleted the following key and restarted my computer folders were behaving normal again.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Modules\NavPane

Delete that key and then recreate it (right click Modules and then 'new key' and name it NavPane). I hope Adobe does something about this because I don't want to mess with my registry everytime I save something...
