How to change the folder opens when windows Explorer opens

In XP Service Pack 3, when Win Explorer is open, files that open has changed on its own (or I don't know what I did to cause this change). Records of Documents are all posted, but the C: drive is closed, where it will display all folders to open at this stage.

How can I reset so that all the files under C: drive open when I open Win Explorer?

Kind regards

  • How to change the product ID of Windows 7, when you put the disc in the other PC

    I PC_1 with an SSD and a valid license of Windows 7 OEM (HP).  I want to put this SSD in a new, more powerful PC_2.  PC_2 holds a valid license of Windows 7 OEM (Packard Bell).

    My thoughts are:

    1 use Double driver to make a backup of all the PC_2 drivers.  Use ABR Activation Backup and Restore to save the certificate key and activation license for W7 on PC_2

    2 put the SSD in PC_2 and change the license key and activation of the certificate (it has the PC_1 keys/certificates) to the PC_2 keys/certificates

    3. install missing drivers to disk backup Double.

    The problem is How to change the key/certificate in step 2?

    Of course I could rebuild W7 on the SSD and give him the key to license PC_2 for the reconstruction, but that would mean reinstall all my other programs that I prefer not to do so.  I downloaded and still have, a copy of W7 iso website digitalrivers if this can help.

    Thank you

    Put the SSD from PC 1, PC 2 and startup, update drivers, and change it to the product key located on the certificate of authenticity.

    As long as they are running the same edition should not be a problem.

    Click Start, right click on computer

    Click on properties

    Scroll down to the Windows Activation

  • How to change the default view in Windows File Explorer

    I have a lot of files in some of my files to storage media.

    Whenever I use the folder of Windows Explorer to browse the files, I need to select View - Details of the list of people rather than the large icons that are displayed. I have to then add or remove columns based on the information I want to see associated with these files, such as name, Date, size, length etc...
    I noticed that Windows behaves differently when opening a folder with the media compared to a folder with the application files. Directory of media file opens with a set predetermined column related to the media and the application folder opens with a different set of columns.
    As defined by Windows, I think there is an option to choose the columns, I want to display and in what type of look a format.
    When I make the changes once, they remain the same until I restart, and then everything goes back to Windows default.
    How can I define the way Windows Explorer for files and folders displays the directory.
    If I can't change it, I might have to consider a 3rd party app.

  • Change the background color on Windows Explorer

    Hello.  One of our users who has recently turned to the Windows 7 operating system has problems with eye fatigue due to the fact that its Windows Explorer background color is white (default).  Is there a way to change this color to something darker and easier on the eyes?  She said she did it in Windows XP (doesn't remember how she did), but cannot find a way in Windows 7.

    I checked on some blogs after a search on google and it said to go to:

    Control Panel / all settings control panel skin customization elements, widow colours / advanced

    I went there but could not find anything specifically for the background of Windows Explorer.  I tried the substance of the request, but that it has not changed for Windows Explorer.

    Any help would be appreciately greatly.

  • How to change the view options when opening a file?

    For some reason any in CS5 when I choose open default file to view "list" in Windows XP. I put my windows, so they all have the same point of view (detailed view) in the control panel. CS3 opens in view Details, but all programs in all of the default CS5 platform to the list view. Any thoughts on how to change this? Anyone else noticed this? Thank you!

    Near as I can tell, after doing a bunch of research on the Internet, always default list view dialog box in Windows XP.  Apparently the changes have been made to Vista to remember the last setting, but which does not apply to XP.

    I couldn't find all the config settings or anywhere registry tweaks that would change the behavior of file open dialog to set up view details by default.

    I, however, ran through a downloadable freeware utility called 'FileOpenPatcher' who patched the commdlg32.dll file in Windows XP ONLY , so you will see more columns of information by default in the Windows File-Open dialog boxes.  I tested it with Photoshop Elements, I had installed on a Windows XP virtual machine.  Apparently he sticks some values in the DLL to change values by default, and it seems to work on XP SP3.

    It requires a reboot after installation.

    Now, that's what I see after execution of FileOpenPatcher, when I choose file - open:
