Control Panel in Classic view

How can I keep the control panel in the classic in Winodws Vista Ultimate display after I wiped the hard drive and reinstalled everything? He worked prior to cleaning, but do not now.

Thank you. You put me on the right path. Here is the step by step instructions on how I made the change.

Right click on start > properties > Start Menu tab (make sure that you have it on the Start Menu under the Start Menu tab and not the Classic Start Menu) > customize, then put a check mark in the display menu in Control Panel.
This of course now has you in the Vista Start Menu, which I don't like. Although it is in the Vista Start Menu, go to control panel and make sure that it is in or change it by clicking on classic view on the left side of the screen to Classic view. Create a shortcut on your desktop for control panel that you have now changed to Classic view
Change the Start Menu back to Classic view by clicking on Start > properties > Classic view > apply > OK.
You can now drag the icon of the control panel from your desktop in Menu quick start at the bottom left of the screen or use your desktop and whenever you click on the Control Panel icon, it will come in Classic view.
Thank you once again. This can be useful for others who are facing the same problem.

  • The parameters ' view by ' control panel of Windows 8 will not stick

    Hello

    I am running Windows 8 Pro N. When I open the control panel its default view is "category". If I change this to 'Small icons', farm on Control Panel and open it again, it's back to the "category" mode

    Is there a setting that needs to be set so that this preference stick?

    Thank you

    Andy Jackson

    I had the same problem. While that the 4 steps has not worked for me either, I found a solution quite similar as Ajacks which I believe will work on all platforms of Windows 8.

    When you open Control Panel, it opens in 'Category' default mode.
    If you look at the address bar, it will just say 'Control Panel'.
    But if you switch to "Small icons" or "Large icons", the address reads now "Panel > all Control Panel items.

    If you mouse over the words "All Control Panel items", it will highlight blue. You can then click and drag on the desktop to create a shortcut. When you click this shortcut, it should open up the control panel to display small or large icons, that you last closed (category view will not count!). In addition, you can right-click on this shortcut and pine in the Start Menu or add to Favorites to access practice. You can also change the name of "Control Panel" If you don't like the name of 'All Control Panel items' bulky.

    If you want the control panel to open in category view again then do the same thing, but this time select and drag the words "Control Panel" in the address bar and pin it Start or where ever you usually click to open the control panel.

    I hope that this solution makes it easy to one who reads this to match their preference!

  • On some documents, I get an error message that ends with "...» create an association in the Set Associations control panel. "Why do I get this and how to access this control panel?

    Need help to access the Panel Associations value so I can open the docs have no association, according to the error message that I receive

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    You need a program on your system to open these documents (file types), and the program must be associated with the file type. Go to start / Default programs / associate a file or Protocol with a program and scroll down to the types of files of these documents.  Can the default program open this type of file or the file type is same?  If this isn't the case, you will need to install a software that can read and open possibly work with the types of files in question.  Exactly which types of files you can not read (what are their extensions - the three digit after the name of the file identifier). ?  If you do not see the extension, go to start / Control Panel / folder Options / View / and uncheck Hide extensions of known and then file types try to look at the files again.

    Please post back with results or if you have other issues (as may have answered your question).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Markers in the effect controls panel

    I'm up to page 165 of the Manual 6 first, trying to figure out the markers, and he says:

    Create markers in the effect controls panel

    In the effect controls panel, you can view all the markers that you created in the timeline panel. You can also add markers to your sequence to designate where you want to place effects and see the markers when you work in the effect controls panel. In addition, you can create and manipulate markers directly in the effect controls panel.

    1. drag the playback cursor to where you want to create a marker.

    2. right-click (Windows) or Ctrl-click (Mac OS) in the rule of the timeline:

    In first Pro CS5.5 and even before, choose define a brand of sequence and then choose the type of marker you want to set.

    In Premiere Pro CS6, choose Add a marker, or press the M button.

    I followed these instructions to the best of my ability, and nothing appears in the effect controls panel. The three preceding paragraphs are labeled as CS5.5 and earlier versions. I wonder if this paragraph should also labeled as CS5.5 and earlier versions.

    CS6, markers appear in the effect controls panel? If they do, how they appear get you?

    CS6, markers appear in the effect controls panel?

    Yes.  First of all, make sure that you have a selected clip and that the playhead is on the clip selected when you add a marker.  The ECP will only show markers outside the bounds of the selected element.  Second, make sure that you can see time of sovereign of the ECP.  It is easy to hide the view of the chronology of the ECP.

  • How can I get rid of multiples (same thing listed 3 to 4 times) in my control panel "Classic view."

    When I go into my control panel "Classic view" things appear too often, just after, below, on the other (and I can not delete additional ones)

    Examples: "Accessibility Options" is listed FOUR times in a row.

    "Add Hardware" is mentioned THREE times

    Then "Add or Remove Programs" is listed TWICE

    Oddly, the following list is "Administrative Tools" and it appears only ONCE! (As it should be)

    The following list is "Automatic updates" and it is listed SIX times!

    Curiously once again, the following inscription "Data Sources" is only registered correctly, ONCE (as it should)

    Return to chaos, the following inscription "Date and time" appears FOUR TIMES

    And these strange, random, multiple registrations continue at the bottom of list 'Classic view' on my control panel.

    What should do?

    Hi Saratonin,

    -Did you of recent changes made to your computer before this problem?

    -Have you run an anti-virus program to check if it helps fix the problem? If not, run the same and check if it helps fix the problem.

    I would also recommend to start safe mode and check if the same behavior is noticed there too.

    Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed.

    See this link for more information about starting in safe mode:
