Continue to change the views of folders under Vista

Windows Vista has a tendency of capricciously changing the settings "Folder views" (tiles to details, etc.) and even delete the column headings used to "group by". Is there a solution? Is fixed in Vista 7?

NEVER use a registry cleaner no matter what the case - Vista does a great job on its own and, most registry cleaners do nothing useful (even if the analysis indicates that it is 5999 errors that must be repaired and can be repaired if ypu buy program) or can do much harm (to the point where the only option is a clean install of the operating system).  There is not a single registry cleaner I can recommend (and there are probably hundreds of them out there).  IMHO, for Vista registry cleaners are a scam (and a dangerous one at that).

You can change the views of files according to your needs (you have only 5 choices if you change the default templates - well you can always choose only 5, but the choice may be more in your order).  This is true regardless of the type of files contained in the files (once you change models, although the model chosen will depend on the type of file).

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 AutoSizer 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.

Good luck!

  • How to use the Explorer under Vista? Like in XP, I was able to change the 'view' of all the files that have been hidden.

    I want to change the view and see all the files.  Reason is to move files from one hard disk to another instead of doing the method of file transfer.

    Go to start / Control Panel / folder Options / view and scroll down and check the box to show the hidden files and folders.  In addition, uncheck to hide system files. In addition, uncheck to hide extensions of known file types (the last because it can be useful and worth while you're brings other changes).  Your problem should be solved.

    I hope this helps.

  • Vista continues to change the date of modification on my files.

    Vista continues to change the date of modification on my files.  It's on a shelf; I use Word and log a lot and sometimes need to sort by the update.  and then Vista arrives and changes the date on everything... I'm doing something wrong?

    Hi Joyfnp,

    O the date system is not accurate?

    O since when are you facing this problem?

    O recent changes made on your computer?

    In the meantime, you can start your computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists.

  • my computer continues to change the date and time

    my computer continues to change the date and time even after I set it correctly. I am running windows 7 Professional. Thank you

    Hello

    ·         Since when are you facing this problem?

    ·         Did you the latest changes on the computer before this problem?

    Method 1:

     

     

    The date and time in the BIOS settings may be incorrect.

    Important: Change BIOS (Basic input output system) /(CMOS) complementary metal oxide semiconductor

    Settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    You can see this:


    Incorrect time is displayed on 64 bit versions of Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 after upgrading on-site

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2001086

    Method 2:

     

    I suggest you replace the CMOS battery. If you are not comfortable with that, then I suggest you to contact the manufacturer for assistance.

    Another idea is to unnstall HP software (using its uninstall program), then restart your PC.  Finally, download the latest version of the software for your printer from the "Support & drivers" link at the top of this page.

    Meanwhile, keep your antivirus operational.  The installer configure it for you during the installation of the printer.

    Well, I solved the puzzle myself.

    I noticed that somehow a stray .psd file was stuck in my side bar of the Mac Finder.  Don't ask me how it got there.

    At the beginning I couldn't delete it – until I tried a Mac forum and they suggested I hold down the command key and drag it off... to poof!

    It worked.

    And when I went back to bridge - now the bad behavior disappeared!  And when I close the window Bridge and reopen - the choice to "classify" same home!

    Yay... it's a small step for me, and one small step for computerkind.

    Hi smart,

    If your VO does not include the column you are looking for, then the only way to achieve is through substitution of VO for which you use jdeveloper.
    You can't accomplish by customizing.

  • Why an amplification of the RAM does not change the index performnance of windows vista?

    Why an amplification of the RAM does not change the index performnance of windows Vista?

    Hello

    I m not very well, but maybe you have more than 3 GB of RAM and Vista 32 bit.
    Usually the 32 bit OS is capable to manage and send only 3.2 GB.
    The more than 3.2 GB RAM will not operating system used and therefore would not increase the index
    In addition the laptop will be not really faster after upgrading RAM. You will notice better performance using applications at the same time, but this does not affect the index of Vista.
    But this is only my personal hypothesis.

  • I can't change the language interface of win vista

    I can't change the language interface of win vista

    Hello

    Browsing the forum here it looks like there are a few options, you can try:

    If the language bar is not listed in the menu toolbars, you do not have many input languages installed on your computer. You must add other languages using region and language in Control Panel. For more information, see Add or change an input language

    This is an additional option of "Old GrayGary" with the link here:

    http://www.techsupportforum.com/members/113412.html

    Quick-Fix:

    Do you have a language icon in your system tray? (If you switch between two choices of language installed / entry screen, the current selection must display in the system tray: for example IN English, JP for Japanese, etc.). Make sure that you have not chosen to "Hide inactive icons" in your bar spots Vista 'Properties' - or the icon can not be displayed. If you see such an icon, you should be able to right click on this icon and choose 'Restore the language bar' in the option dialog box.

    Quick-Fix #2:

    Since the language bar is a system setting, and the problem is recent, you might be able to recover your old settings using Vista System Restore utility - using a restore point out just before the language bar disappeared. You would probably go to Windows Update to reinstall all critical patches that have arrived since the time that the restore point was created originally.

    _______________

    Must neither of these approaches works, try to visit the region and Language Options in the Vista Control Panel.

    Control Panel

    Clock, language and region

    Regional and Language Options

    If you use different languages with your devices, you visit the "Keyboards and languages" tab and select "Change keyboard" - in the "text Services" and input languages window, the middle tab is "Language bar" - I think that the option to show or hide the taskbar is available here. If you use different languages for display only, you can go directly to the option "Change display language" from the regional and Language Options (and try the "Language bar" tab there).
