How can I make Windows 7 Explorer look and work like it does in XP?

Hello...

The GUI in the Win7 Explorer is a waste of screen real estate when it comes to want to work with files.

I don't want the icons or all divisions of the way in which it uses by default, and I don't want to have only a small space to expand the + for each folder tree. I would like to have the Explorer Win 7 have the same look and feel as in windows XP. Call 'classic' view of windows Explorer.

How can I do this?  I tried but could not get that look in Win7.

If this is not possible, then what was the reason for the deletion of this presentation?  What Microsoft problem trying to resolve to change this?

Thank you for your help.

See you soon!

nor do I want to have only a small space to expand the + for each folder tree.

Do organize putting on the page and choose your preferred format it...

    a. open Internet Explorer and click on a link that opens in a new window of a second.

    c. drag the new window to what size you want. .
    d. you can drag windows by placing the mouse cursor on the edges of the window, click button straight on and then dragging.
    Note: If dragging the window does not help, you can double-click on the top of the window to maximize.

    Unfortunately, hearing, as a Publisher, is rather less wonderful when it comes to being a direct file player. Always has been.

    Screen 'player' of hearing acts only as a file for the beaches of landmark drive, files not together. The solution for him to play the whole of a file is unfortunately a bit heavy; Open all the files you want to play using "Open Add" and make a range of landmark around each of them (Ctrl-A and then F8). Then, you can import all of these mark lines in the drive and rearrange them in the order you want them to play. But then you're a little drunk, as the normal transport controls do not control the file player... and he does not stop at the end of each placemark!

    When I had to do in the past, my solution was simply to open all the files in reverse order, as you want them to play in, open the file as if you were going to edit and press play. Then go to the next in the list. Yes, having to transport non-rescalable controls is a little pain, but it doesn't matter, you can use the SPACEBAR rather effectively, or do like me and use a Red Rover. Two or three things to mention; Make sure that you have parked the ICT at the beginning of each file before opening the following (it can be a little annoying if you forget this, because he remembers hearing for each separate file and your file might start playing sort). The other thing is good news, and is that when he does, at least the file stop playing at the end - as long as you have not activated the playback loop, it's...

  • How can I make use of TC partitions and make sure that the file analysis is on the right partition?  I do not see the partitions that I have done in the Finder, but I can drag and drop the files in the folder 'Data' unique under Finder/Shared/TC.

    MacBook Air, OSX 10.10.3, 128 GB; 2 TB Time Capsule ME177LL/A.

    Final objective: use Time Capsule as a Time Machine for my MacBook Air and as a storage solution for large files that I don't want permanently on my MacBook Air.

    So far, I've implemented the TC and set up Time Machine on the TC.  I was able to create 2 partitions on the TC using disk utility then that TM was a backup and the disk was recognizable in disk utility.

    Under Finder/shared, I see the TimeCapsule 'airport', and when I click on it it is a file called "Data".  I was expecting to see my two partitions here.  Under 'Features' is a ' Zissou31 MacBook Air (3)"sparsebundle file and I can also create folders here and drag and drop files on the TC here.  I can see the partitions in disk utility, but how do I see/use the partitions I created in the Finder?

    I fear that this may not be set up correctly and I'm either losing on an entire partition I created or these files dragged/dropped may be at risk of overwriting of TimeMachine.  How can I make sure that the file analysis is on the appropriate partition?

    I disabled TimeMachine and go back to see if I could 'point' to one of the partitions, but the "Data" folder is the only thing that TimeMachine seen.  How do I point time Machine for one of the partitions?

    Thank you!

    In addition, in disk utility, I can see one of the partitions TC is related to the time Machine, indicated by the icon Time Machine green bottom left, but two partitions seem to fall under "Zissou31 of the MacBook Air (3) .sparsebundle.

  • How can I make windows 7 clean install on the new hp?

    I just bought a H8XT.  He took over with a bunch of useless software.  I want to format the hard drive and reinstall windows 7 me.  However, the computer came not with the disc of the operating system.  How can I do this?  My last computer is a Dell that came with the operating system software, and it was pretty simple.  I do not know how without the operating system disks.  Thank you.

    As o_g suggested, first create your HP recovery disk.

    Download the ISO (disk image) of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit a company named Digital River download Microsoft partner. Once this downloaded, you have to burn the image on a DVD to an installation of Windows 7 bootable disc.

  • How can I make my hd images look like the old formats?

    I am currently working on a project where I want back to the transition from the looks of the old formats like DV and VHS early cassettes. I'm really interested in the differences between the formats aesthetically, but in other words, I don't know what the differences are. I found how to simulate interlacing and contrast of the limitations of the old formats. He always looks very digital for me however. How can I simulate that look hot and faded from first consumer cameras?

    Add a bit of blur and effects as Timewarp allows you to add a little "smear sensor. Also consider separating the channels and compensation slightly at the subpixel level to mimic the lack of alignment of sensor cells. And then of course the usual - noise, a little wiggle position to simulate the irregular Strip transport, possibly roll bars and other artifacts video typical as well as some very heavy color corrections. For example an old DV film has almost no own blues due to subsampling of the chrominance and everything is transformed in purples, dark blue petrol and turquoise. Same thing for the Greens and the reds with yellow casts...

  • How can I get my Adobe CreativeSuite Premium and work back?

    I recently had to buy a new computer and download all my software, including my discs of software Adobe Creative Suite Premium 2003.  Everything moved very well until I had to Photoshop and a window popped up asking me to activate.  I entered my serial number and click on next and got the "online activation is not available", then I tried without success.   What are my options?  Now use creative cloud?  Can I still use my serial number and activation number?

    Your only option is to install the version that they provide on the link I provided.  My only thought is to see if a search of the forums by using the search option and search terms CS2 '2' disc gives no useful information... what I found may be useful.  If this is not the case, try the search yourself for more possibilities.  It seems that you need to get all the files in the same folder before installing.  Here is a link to the discussion that I found...

  • How can I make Windows bootable XP SP3 ISO?

    problem make bootable cd

    I have download the image ISO 9660 to win xp sp3 from Microsoft Download Center. make it bootable I use power ISO cd burner but the cd is not bootable. and in my bios I chooses the first start of cd drive.then you please tell me how I can burn. Why me directories and the files in the ISO win xp sp3 file. Please help me to make a bootable image file ISO win xp sp3 cd.
    Tell me about "slipstreaming".

    In this context, "slipstreaming" means the integration of patches and updates (for example, service pack 3) in an existing Windows XP installation CD.

    Service Pack 3, if it is obtained through Windows Update, the "network installation package" or the ISO file is a collection of updates and patches to an existing installation of Windows XP.

    The difference between using Windows Update and the "network installation package" or ISO file is Windows Update only will download and install the updates and patches that are required for your particular installation of Windows XP.

    The other two methods (which are essentially the same) include all updates and change - the decision on those to be applied to your system is made during the update instead of before downloading.  This is why Microsoft Download pages advise not to use the "network installation package" or ISO file, if you update a computer - you'll probably download more that you need.  On the other hand, if you are responsible for the update to many computers, it is more efficient to download the complete package only once.

    "Slipstreaming" allows you to take an existing Windows XP installation CD that does not include service pack 3 and combine the material that is in service pack 3 to create a new CD that can be used to install Windows XP, including service pack 3.
