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.
Good luck!

How can I get my xbox 360 controller to work with my computer?... I can't even recognize the hardware? Im running Vista 64 bit on a quad core rig any help would be appreciated... Thank you
Hello Ghostdogaln.
How do hang you the controller? You must either use a * wired * controller, or use a wireless controller with receiver game Xbox 360 for Windows.
If you use a wireless with a Play and Charge kit controller, it will not work as long as the USB cord only actually plug into the battery for the controller itself.

How can I get Vista "Windows Mail" to check mail using my connection local (LAN) internet?
It allows only wants to "connect" using dial-up, wireless or wired ISP (type PPP) requiring a UID and password, of which none seem to allow me to select a LAN (ISP) simple (without a password).
I know that the Ethernet connection works Ok, because I can use it with a standard Web browser; only the mail tool can't seem to see or use.
Whenever I tell the Windows Mail email 'Send and receive', he wants to 'connect' for remote access or one of his three choices (listed above and direct exclusion of any connection to the local network). It works with remote access, so once I have spend that I should be Ok. but I can't make it work directly.
Help.

How can I get my serial number or IEMI number for me to make an appointment at a genius bar or get help online when my iPhone brand new completely deserted?
The IMEI number is printed on the back of the phone, unless it's an iPhone 6. You can also find the serial number by eject the tray of the SIM card on the right side of the phone (insert a paper clip or similar object into the hole). It is in very small print at the bottom of the status bar.
It should also be in the box the iPhone provided in if you bought Apple or an authorized dealer.
