How to make Vista Explorer/folder look like XP Explorer/folder

I love my XP machines. I tried a Vista machine a few times, but could not stand his fanciness. I just bought a new laptop. Vista is the only option for the new laptops at Best Buy and Dell. So now I'm stuck with Vista. I changed the interface classic Windows, removed the sidebar, added all the icons on the desktop, like XP. However, I can't find a way to change the Explorer and folder in the XP-like Explorer and folder.

For everything that Vista offers that I am not fancy, style Vista Explorer and folder structure are the only thing I absolutely can't stand. It makes me dizzy, it moves with the mouse - to above, there is no button to the TOP, the look of crowded folders (not clear from who's who a subfolders). Please, help me find a way to restore the folder from Vista to XP structure. Otherwise, I have to rebuild a new laptop to use XP, and I don't want to do if I have an easier choice.

Thank you!!

Hello XP user,.

Thank you for posting.  There is no way to get Explorer from Vista to have the folder structure of the Explorer in XP that you are interested in using the features and tools in Vista.  You maybe able to do it with the 3rd party tools and/or applications.

Please let me know if this helps you. Zack

  • How to make Vista partition on the HARD drive as first with recovery CD

    Hello

    I want to format and retrieve information from my 'Vista' (C: / /) partition, which is the first. But when I choose the option "Format and recover to a first partition on your hard disk (without RE) ' the computer began to recover in" Type of Partition: windows NT NTFS (ID: 07) "whose size is only 1.50 GB.

    In the middle of the process, it shows not 'enough space on a disk.

    Question: How to make a 'vista' first partition? What is 'the first partition' in the second formatting option and recover the system?
    Thank you for your answers

    Hello

    Sorry, but you will not be able to do. I know it's a bad situation but if you use the first option that the whole HARD disk will be formatted and C new partition created. Second option, that you can not use at all. I tested it with my Satellite A100.

    I called Toshiba and they said that Toshiba work on new recovery options and new notebooks will have the best recovery option. Something like old installation expert ghost mode.

    I know it's wrong, but unfortunately there is nothing to do.

  • How to make Vista use less RAM?

    OK, here's the deal... I got this computer from October 17, 2008. RAM is juicy until the past few days. I started noticing almost ALL the time my OS uses a total of 75 to 86% of RAM. It does not reflect the performance.

    Also, the Windows Task Manager says I on 65 running processes. I show processes from all users, and I can't just equal up to 800 megabytes.

    My computer has 1 gigabyte but reads 980Mb. So my question, how is using up to 86% during normal operations, while I'm only about calculate 56% use?

    OK, gotcha now. Looks like that you see right SuperFetch works like it's supposed to... "SuperFetch is trying its best to use as much RAM as possible, because if you have it you could thus make use." ;-) William Keener | Blog

  • How to make a private folder in xp

    the drop-down list of the sharing folder doesn't let me make a folder crearion

    HOW to: Set the My Documents folder as "private" in Windows XP - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/298399
    http://www.microsoft.com/learning/books/homeandofficeuser/tips/040402.asp - how to make My Documents private in XP Home

    You can make My Documents private in XP Home. Since you don't mention what version of XP you are using, your end goal is, if it is a home or work computer, etc. I can only give you the following background information. If you are in need of more detail, thanks for posting back with missing details about your situation.

    XP does not use passwords to protect resources. NT operating systems use the permissions. Here's the information to help you with that:

    How to disable Simple Sharing and set permissions on a folder shared in Windows XP (Pro only)
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=307874

    How to configure file sharing in Windows XP (includes information about permissions):
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/304040

    By default in XP Home you can only files and folders under My Documents "private". Otherwise, to display the Security tab in Windows XP Home, restart in safe mode and log on with an account that has administrator privileges. Go in Safe Mode, press the F8 key as the computer starts. That you will get the menu where you can choose Safe Mode.

    Note that the file system must be NTFS, FAT32 not.

    Passwording of folders is not possible unless you their zip. When you do (right click on a folder, then "send to > compressed folder") and then open the zip file, you will find an option under file > "add a password." Otherwise, use a third-party software. Google "password protect folders".

  • How to clean my computer to look like at the store

    my computer is slowing down a lot so that I thought takinf progams all out to clean and restore after that how can I do?

    Hello

    You mean put how much you bought your computer when it was new?

    You will need to backup all your data, but unfortunately, the programs you have installed will need to be reinstalled from the original media that they came on (CD, etc.).

    Please read these methods to reinstall Vista:

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

    Looks like he painted on the images with a large, soft brush and a low flow, and something like the screen blend mode.  Before adding the effects you might try adding the vignetting as well.

    And unlike my photo above, clearly he was shooting with a sort of flash on a post, or maybe bouncing flash on the ceiling.
