view settings

At first I connect a SmartPhone through USB cable to my WinDesktop computer and open a directory on this SmartPhone in my local Windows Explorer. The default view is (presumably) "Media View". Right side of WinExplorer shows columns like Artist, Track number, Type" although I am browsing a pure...

Hello all. Recently I'm having this problem with thumbnails using windows explorer, whenever I open a folder configured to use large or medium icons, all I see are blank squares instead of the thumbnails or icons. It seems like a refresh problem because just by going to the view tab and...

I like to use the detailed directory view in Windows Explorer. But something maddening happens in my home directory in Explorer under Desktop\<username>: no matter how much I try to set it to 'Details', any time I return to the folder, it reverts back to 'Medium Icons'. If I access the folder...

i am very familiar wit the tools>folder options>view>show hidden files, folders, operating system files /uncheck ALL hidden restrictions/display full size and path/always show menus/show drive letters these settings are among the first on a long list of user mods i alter to begin with...

The only views that display the icon labels UNDER the icons are the Medium, Large and Extra Large Icons. I prefer the Small Icons View, but it displays the labels on the right side of the icons. Is there any tweak or tool that would move the labels under the Small Icons? Thanks. FP

Ok about a week ago I came home to my folder options not being right. The way I had all my folders view set up just doesnt seem to be working anymore. I can change the view to my folders and exit the folder and reopen it and it will be changed again. My desktop is pretty much doing the same...

I am looking for a way to set all my folders (viewed with win. Explorer) to use one visual look. meaning: all use Details. all use the same columns (Name, Size, Type). all with the same column widths. It would be nice to set all current folders like this, and have any newly created folders to...

Hello, yesterday after rebooting, all my view setting got crazy! here are the list of changes that made: *no wallpaper on desktop, only icons and taskbar on black wallpaper. *cannot add or change wallpaper, even default win7. without any error massege *clear type got uncheked in view...

There does not appear to be a way of fixing a particular view for a particular folder. Every time I change the view in any folder it sets the same view for EVERY folder. I have followed the help files, and forked out for Steve Johnson's "brilliant Windows 7", in full colour, but nothing in...

Just migrated from XP to 7 and the first huge disappointment is the missing 'Remeber each folder's view settings' option. 7 just doesn't remember any window view/size/position settings appart from the last one used. One example... I like to have a folder with shortcuts on my desktop where I...

I love 7, (except for the library nonsense), anyway even though I am almost totally happy with 7, there are times I would prefer to use the XP explorer, or make the 7 explorer function like XP. The big thing is I want the "common task" task pane on the left side of the screen. I also want to...

hi, I just noticed something odd: When I save a specific folder view for a folder (for example to show thumbnails for the files inside) windows saves that view. That isn't odd (of course), the odd thing is that when I visit that folder another way than last time, windows saves a seperate view...

I have a few folders with video's, and some of them are really slow to display the contents of the folder. This is a new setup of vista business 64 with SP1, I had a similar setup of vista 64 before (on the same computer) and never had this problem. I switched drives for another brand (samsungs...
