How to resize the left on Windows Explorer Panel?

XP PRO SP3.

 
 
When I click on "My Documents" a dialog box appears which is split into two halves (panels).  The right files and folders, the left has several menu options such as 'Make a new folder', 'My Computer', 'My Network Places', etc..
The left panel is too small to contain the entire text of menu and the part of the text is hidden.  For example, I see things like 'My Com' and 'make one '.  She line so the 'My' and 'Com' is on two different lines and even 'Make' and 'a', etc..
 
The left panel cannot be resized.  Try it swipe left or right only the results in the box dialog full size change, but the left panel remains the same size.  Given zero has no effect.  So, how can I restore this Panel to the width?  'My Documents' and 'My Computer' both have the same problem of "small width.
 
Thank you

  • How to customize the display of Windows Explorer to always be details and sort in descending for windows order save under and attach a file?

    It is in this way for some applications such as Word and Excel, but not for others, such as Adobe Acrobat, Office Picture Manager and gmail. How can I get the attachment save as and file dialogs to always get to see the detail value?

    I think that I thought about it!  Is there a way to have the Save As or tie with a particular view, but only developed dialog boxes for Windows programs. It doesn't seem to work with acrobat, google mail, etc.

    In the dialog box after selecting Save as or Attach, modify display and sort columns as you wish. Then hold down the CTRL key while you leave the window. The next time you go into it should reflect what you put last. Don't ask me why this works, or why it only works with Microsoft products. I got this tip on another site.
  • The width of the preview in Windows Explorer screen can be hung on the left side instead of the right side?

    Whenever I open a Windows Explorer window, the preview window to adapt is questionable.  It is anchored on the right side of the window.  Sometimes it's fine, other times, it covers more important data like date/time and file size.  If I have it full screen on my wide screen, everything is great, but when I throw it in my smaller screen, everything must shrink.  Rather than shrink the preview pane, it allows the preview pane cover the most important areas.

    The width of the preview in Windows Explorer screen can be hung on the left side instead of the right side?

    I don't think it can be docked to the left.  I know that the sector details can twisted to put it on the bottom rather than the side (like Vista/7), but the preview pane itself isn't such a tweak.

  • Open the folder "Images" = Windows Explorer has stopped working.

    Everytime I try to open my pictures folder after a few seconds, I get the message that Windows Explorer has stopped working. I can't understand how to solve this problem. = (If you please help.

    I ran the System File Checker and there find and repair corrupt files. However, the problem is still there.

    I also ran the disk check and has not helped either.

    Ok. I solved the problem by seeking advice in another thread. Here's what I did:

    I solved this by going to my computer > click the "Organize" (upper-left) > folder and search options > view tab check "Show icons, never thumbnails" option and uncheck the "display file on the photos." This prevents windows to generate images and solved the problem for me. Less visually flashy Yes, but at least not need a cloth and restart is).

    I'm moving all my pictures from external storage. Guess that's the motivation that I needed to finally get the prints and albums. :) I hope this helps someone else.

    Hello

    You can download this reg from my SkyDrive file:

    http://CID-128fc518635be2dc.SkyDrive.live.com/self.aspx/.public/Ms%20Foren/registry/WER%5E_Explorer.reg

    and double click on the file to import.

    When the Windows Explorer crashes, Windows Error Reporting Service [1] creates a dmp under C:\Localdumps. Please download the file to your public Skydrive folder [2] and post the link here. I take a look at the discharge with the debugger, maybe that I can see what Shell extension is the cause.

  • How to disable the touchpad in windows 8 - Pavilion g6

    How to disable the touchpad in windows 8 - Pavilion g6

    Welcome to the forum, Sally.

    There are several ways to do this - method you choose may depend on what you need to accomplish.

    Follow a few ideas.

    • A double tap farm in the upper left corner of the touch pad if it off for a single session.

    Enable / disable

    Control Panel > display icon > mouse > Settings of TouchPad > click on "enable TouchPad.

    They continue parameters to install and configure the TouchPad as you like it...

    ==========================================================================

    A method that works with the pilots 'old', it is a failure of session by session...

    Make sure this setting is ON / CHECKED:

    Control Panel > display icon > mice > TouchPad [ClickPad] settings >

    () repeat) TouchPad settings (button) > click tapping >

    Click the shimmering blue wheel

    In "box to Disable TouchPad settings".

    CHECK "Double Tap to activate / disable the TouchPad.

    In the 'Action in the upper left'

    CHECK "Disable the TouchPad during a session.

    Close

    Ok


    NOTE that, if it is available on your version, you can select to "turn off the TouchPad" - that's fine, unless something goes wrong.  You could get stuck without your USB mouse AND no way to return to the setting to activate the touchpad.  I don't know if I would use this setting.

    ======================================================================================

    Next...
    Latest drivers (V16.x) have the ability to disable the TouchPad / click on the keypad with a setting on the main page 'Settings' when a USB mouse is used.  This is a very nice feature.

    Control Panel > display icon > mice > TouchPad [ClickPad] settings >

    CHECK "disable the pointing device internal when the external USB pointing device is attached.

    If you want to be alerted and see a visual cue of disability >

    TICK "Animated icon in the taskbar" >

    and make sure you have your updated task bar notifications so you can see the view of the mouse.

    =====================================================

    I hope this helps!

  • Do a right mouse click on the name of the file causes Windows Explorer stop.

    Do a right mouse click on the name of the file causes Windows Explorer stop.

    The problem is sometimes caused by a third-party extension. ShellExView can be useful to see what shell extensions have been introduced in the Explorer. Lire read on this topic, then scroll down to download the x 86 (32-bit) or x 64 (64 - bit) version here near http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html

    When you run it, click the column of company for sequence entries in alphabetical order. Suppose Microsoft entries are in good faith and focus on others. Is something listed that is useless or unknown? If so, select it and click the Red (on top left) task to turn it off. You can find it easier to disable them all and then reactivate (green area) one at a time and try to explore until the culprit is found.

  • How to solve the problems of windows 10 shut down (power, lighting the keyboard is always on)?

    Nice day

    How to solve the problems of windows 10 shut down (power, lighting the keyboard is always on)?

    with regard to my question above. I need to hold the button of power for 5 seconds to completely shut down my laptop. even restart or sleep does not work well. I upgraded a real victory 8.1 to 10 free victory by that windows app reservation offered. IM using acer aspire v5 - 573 g i7, version gt750m, Finnish keyboard

    solutions, I tried to random searches that did not work for me.
    1 unchecking quick stop to power options
    2 disabling hibernation in cmd (types a code forgot what I have)
    3. update all drivers and bios with sites acer official drivers, driver pack solution 15.8 and utility driver update intels
    4 decommissioning intel management engine components driver 11 to 9.5
    5. go to the bios and reset to the default settings
    6 make a shortcut of "shutdown" with codes e.g. shutdown /s /t 0
    7. click Update stop

    IM thinking of reinstalling windows 10 via recovery which removes applications, files, drivers, etc. and hope this solves. I can't roll back to win 8.1 because ive done this reset before you completely clean out my system of win random 8 and trashes the restore option was gone.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello/Hallo wuschel93,

    exactly what I had. Stop number appears only after a certain time the laptop running.

    The problem is INTEL MANAGEMENT ENGINE RELATED V.11!

    I fixed it with uninstall Intel Management Engine Version 11. Windows will then install version 9.5 automatically. After that I turned off the automatic update of the driver for this device. You can also install 9.5 without uninstalling the old one, it wil crushed.

    Other manufactures also have this problem, but while Acer is still asleep, they provide a solution (including download links):

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-operating-systems-and-software/sleep-and-shutdown-issues-after...

    Maybe there are any other issues that result in the same problem. But in most cases, it's the answer. The thread Starter maybe forgotten to disable the automatic driver update or made installation of v9.5 evil?
