Accessing File System from Windows? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Sorry if this is a stupid question. The Nexus 7 is my first Android device and something has got me a little stumped:
I am using ES File Explorer to access the file system on my Nexus 7 (not rooted, stock JB). If I connect my Nexus 7 to Windows Vista and create a new directory in Windows Explorer I can see the directory in ES File Explorer however if I create the directory in ES File Explorer I can't then see it in Windows Explorer. Why is this....?
I have also noticed that files I have deleted from /sdcard/Download (deleted from within Android) are sometimes still visible in Windows Explorer.
Am I missing something?
TIA,
Ed

File explorer problem

I went on windows folder on file explorer. It took ages to load so quit file explorer. Now whenever i load file explorer on my phone i just get the rotaing windows logo timer thing.
How can i get back to a different page on explorer? This is driving me mad!
I'm running duttys rom if that makes a difference.
Same thing happened to me. I waited about 3-4 minutes and as the explorer was finally (you just have to wait) showing the content of the windows folder, I switched to a higher level. That was it. And remember - never ever try to go inside the windows folder on winMo
yes, the /windows directory has a lot of files and it takes a while for loading. Just wait until it's loaded and then change the directory (e.g. to /) because the explorer will always open at the last visited directory!
duttys rom has maybe another file explorer installed (look in the programs directory)
if not, then install another explorer. I'm using Total Commander
click here for the cab!
Yup, that even happens if you access your Windows folder via your PC (ActiveSync). Use TotalCommander for any operations in your Windows folder, that's the fastest free alternative.

Search File Contents

Is there an application to search file contents? I am looking for such an application regardless of whether it runs in the phone itself or in a activesync'ed computer
If it's an app that runs on windows though will it search the \windows folder? because i cannot access this folder from activesync's file explorer for some reason

[Q] File management

So I'm new to Android tablets and got the TF700 to replace my Windows 7 tablet for trips.
The main item i want to do is backup my photo with light file management. I'm trying to find out how to select all the files with date create on 1 day and copy them but leave the rest of the files.
On windows I would find the first file and use CRTL+END then CTRL+C and CTRL+P in the directories I want to move the file to. So this may only copy 200 files out of a 600 file directory.
Is there any way to do this on android?
Currently I've got File Manager, Total Commander, Ghost Commander, OI File Manager, X-plore, ES file Explorer and Astro installed trying to figure it out.
You missed the best explorer for me : Solid Explorer beta 2 (available in the market).
If your files are named with the date inside, you can filter your files and then select all in one click, and move them where you want
Hope it will help...
