• How can I make my files open with the section 'files' (on the left) already enabled (in Windows Explorer)?

  I'm on Windows XP with Service Pack 4.  The "show common tasks in folders" checked in folder options and my windows Explorer opens with the "common tasks" bar on the left side.  I have to click on 'files' (in the top tool bar) to get my files to display on the left.  If I click on "use Windows classic folders" instead of "Show common tasks in folders" my explore opens with no left bar at all and I still click on 'files' to have folders appear in the position of the left side bar.  Can I solve this case everytime I open windows Explorer opens on the side bar of folders on the left and content on the right?  If Yes, where and how do the default every time I open windows Explorer?  Thanks for any help, that all the world can offer.

  Thank you very much.  This has not only had what I wanted, but also extend this ability to any file folder I click on.  What I was really doing was: I saved a link to a set of "my computer" window microsoft explore my d: drive (my data partition) so it automatically goes to what I look at in explore more often rather than having open 'my computer' and go through several steps to get to the open D: partition.  But I still had to push the button of "folders" at the top of the page to open the view in the left bar of my directories - every time.  With your help my link now opens windows Explorer set up exactly the way I want every time!  You have saved me from countless steps repetative in the future for every time I open windows Explorer.

  Thank you once again,

  I have restored my HARD drive a few months ago & now when I go to Windows programs features & highlight all programs, I have no additional info at the bottom of the screen on the program-it is-to-say-the website, the size of the program, etc.  Is attached a screenshot of one of the programs highlighted.  I would like to make a "copy" of the way it looked before that I did restore if necessary to make me more clear about the 'problem '.  That you can tell me about this?

  1. click on organize > folder and Search Options

  2. on the general tab, select Show Preview and filters. Click OK to save the changes.

  

  3. you should now be able to check the details pane option in the menu available .

  

• Windows Explorer stops working

  Windows explore stop (explore.exe question) it seems only when I try to open a file with associated with Real Player videos.  When I left solutions, none are found. I have Vista Ultimate and don't remember having this problem with Vista Premium.  I tried many things such as an external hard drive, to reduce the load of memory and a player flash set up as a ReadyBoost.  Found a lot of answers about Windows Explorer, but most East of problems with several accidents or other problems.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Click Tools and then click Folder Options
  On the general tab, click using the Windows classic folders, and click OK.

  This will cause the explorer.exe avoid making the thumbnail preview on video files that might not be compatible with Vista.

In Folder Options, click the view tab, and then click on apply to records. (To switch these folders back to their) settings by default, click Reset Folders)

• How can I get Vista navigation pane to only work for a specific folder view?

  I am running Windows Vista classic folders. Significant irritation is that I want to have the navigation pane enabled for the _only_ in my computer/Windows Explorer folder. I don't want that it activated for other folders with groups of icons for programs.

  But I find that when I turn it on for the first folder, it becomes activated for all. On the other hand, if I turn it off for a program icon folder, it is disabled for all files, including the Windows Explorer.

  So, how to customize the navigation pane to make it work for a folder specific _only_?

  The other models are for music or photos or videos or Documents (and I can't remember the fifth).  They show the different columns and present different data sorted differently.  I don't think they will solve your problem.

  Some general information here is on models and how to set any records that might be of interest to you (but will not solve your problem, I think):

  Here's how to change the default template for a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/70819-windows-explorer-folder-view-settings.html.  Default behavior is to select the model based on the first type of file placed in the folder (you must choose something).  Vista sets the folder type template according to what are the types of files in the window and the settings display window Explorer. This will show how to reset the display settings for the Windows File Explorer, disable Automatic folder Type Discovery (which is I think what you want)and increase the folder display the cache to make Vista do not forget the display settings, the folder type template, the size or the position of a specific window for when it was still closed to the location of specific path.

  It does not work with the Sub record under, Open with, open in a new tab (Internet Explorer), etc... dialog windows of type through the good File menu bar item. These don't seem to be able to have their size or their position to recall. For the latter, you can use the free program http://autosizer.en.softonic.com/ to resize them.

  Here is another article on how to modify the columns in Windows Explorer and sort in Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/108665-column-customize.html.  This will show you how Add, Remove, move, change the widthand change the sort order of the columns in Windows Explorer in the way that you want.

  Here is another article on how to change the display of the default folders in Vista (but she argues, it is not a perfect solution and can revert to the previous behavior is not as good as the two prior links provided: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13880_3-10019957-68.html.)

  I hope this helps in your situation.

• BlackBerry Classic view e-mail and the e-mail folders

  I would really appreciate someones orientation.  I think of the classic Blackberry upgrade and really function on my phone Blackberry "BOLD" whereby different email accounts I have are all displayed on the Beach House.  I have 4 different accounts that I use a lot and it is really important that I can easily distinguish between them.  I realize that, on the classic model, it is not possible to have an icon on your home page for each e-mail account

  What I want to know when you press the icon to email you classic Blackberry makes the homepage that then take you a list of all your recent emails in the hub of Balckberry or is it possible that when you press this icon and aim at a list of different e-mail accounts that then will clearly show me if I have my new messages for one of my accounts

  I don't know if this is possible and how it would look like and would have really appreciated your help with screenshots if possible.  Thank you very much.  Martin

  • From the home screen when you pull down the main menu, you can then switch between the sound profiles by clicking several times the button according to
  • In the settings, you can define between which profiles of activating / deactivating shoukd be enabeled (meaning in order to avoid tilting head however 8 profiles while you only need 3)

• How to import my tab of firefox folders that were created on my old laptop to my new?

  I had a lot of files stored under the address bar with important bookmarks by category. I was able to sync but I don't see a folder I had saved.

  Sorry to hear about this. First of all, the bookmarks toolbar is displayed?

  You can use one of the following methods to view the list of the toolbar, and then select Bookmarks Toolbar it:

  • Right click on a place empty on the tab bar (or the button '+')
  • Press the Alt key to activate the classic menu bar > view > toolbars
  • in customize mode > show/hide toolbars (see: Customize Firefox commands, buttons, and toolbars)

  Any improvement?

  If the bar is missing all or part of its previous content, can you use the Library dialog box to see if they found themselves in an unexpected place. To open the Library dialog box, you can use either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + b
  • "Show all bookmarks" toolbar button

  In the left column, click toolbar bookmarks to examine whether some folders have might become nested in one another. You can drag them if necessary.

  In the left column, click on the bookmarks Menu and see if there is a folder Bookmarks Toolbar or personal toolbar with missing files of bookmark.

  A little luck?

• Folders or Playlists-how do

  Is there a way to make a folder (or selection) on my old iPod Classic?  I mean make a folder called Music market.  A folder called music group.  So, I want to put songs into these folders.  I would like, if possible, to put the same song in several folders.  I want to show on my iPod, while if I walk I can play only the music market.  Can you give me detailed instructions on how to make these files?  Or is it called a Playlist?  I can do it on my computer?  Do in iTunes or in the browser by accessing the iPod?  I also have a Nano that I intend to work with after I get the classic where I want.  It works the same?

  They are called playlists.  You create in iTunes and sync with the iPod.

  This description is for the latest version of iTunes (version 12).  To create a playlist in iTunes, first show your library iTunes music (click the button on the music at the left end of the horizontal bar).  Near the middle of the horizontal bar, click playlists.  A side bar appears along the left side of the window, showing your playlists.  At the bottom of the sidebar, click the Plus sign and choose new playlist.  Name of the playlist as you want.

  In the sidebar, under libraries, click on music, to display your music library.  Scroll the sidebar (if necessary) to show your new playlist (without selection playlist).  Drag and drop the songs you want on the reading list, from your music library to the playlist.  Alternating (instead of drag and drop), you can right click on a song (or a selection of songs) in your list of library music and Add to Playlist-> [playlist name].  Create playlists as desired.  You can put the same songs on many reading lists; iTunes does not charge that each song once on the iPod, even though it's on many reading lists.

  After you create these playlists for your iPod, connect your iPod.  Select it in iTunes (click the camera button on the horizontal bar) to show its settings screen in the iTunes window.  Along the left side, under settings, click on music.  Settings of music from the iPod screen is shown at right.

  NOTE: All iPod songs that are not in your iTunes library (on the computer) will be lost.

  Check the box to Sync music, if it isn't already.  This enables automatic synchronization.  If your library iTunes music can fit on your iPod, you can choose the option synchronize entire music library.  Click Apply to sync your music library on the iPod, including all selections.  If your iPod was already set that way on screen settings of music from iPod, you just click on Sync to add new playlists to iPod.

  If the iPod does not have sufficient storage capacity to synchronize your whole music libraryon parameters of music from the iPod screen, choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Below, under playlists, search for and select (check) the playlists that you created for the iPod.  Click Apply to sync the playlists to the iPod.  This option may be appropriate for your iPod nano, which has the lowest storage capacity.

  Further, you can update the playlists in your iTunes (add/remove songs).  The iPod has no need to be connected.  The next time you connect the iPod (or click sync , if already connected), iTunes will update the iPod with the same changes.

• Update removes all themes and makes the classic display of taskbar

  Once time and a while, when I turned off my phone and turn it back on, the bars of tasks and folders are the classic gray and blue look.  Makes it look like my laptop works under Windows 98, rather than the 'cool, smooth' appearance taskbars and folders of windows 7.  When I go into the themes, they are all grayed out as they aren't there.  I can't understand how to prevent that from happening or how to fix it.

  Any help would be much appreciated.

  Happened with Vista awhile back.

  Do a reset, which solves the problem?

  If this isn't the case, then check your service topics to make sure that it is started.

  If this is the case, select an aero theme. If this is not the case, start the service

  Hi Kelvin,

  You can share a folder on your XP by the listed method: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304040

  Others have an option to connect to your pc as a guest, to make interactive you will need to click on start-> run, type &-> gpedit.msc

  Navigate to Computer Configuration-> Windows settings-> Security-> Security Option settings. On the right side, look for-> ' access network: model sharing and security for local accounts "-> double click and select-> classic-Local user authenticate.

  Now another pc you can access this computer and you will be asked for the username and password.

  I hope this helps.
