The task is solved for me. The only reason, I sometimes wanted to use Win Explorer, was my lack of knowledge. The tool always opened a new TC window -- to work in it, instead of the previously set one, and to lock it after, is very uncomfortable. However, now I found the appropriate switch for TC: "…

I am not sure if this has something to do with the character set that you have in the tags and that what the OS uses. So if you have ISO-encoding in the tags, it may be worthwhile to try to convert them to UTF encoding or vice versa.
