Hello
You can't change much in the functionality of windows Explorer, but you can customize the appearance of folders.
Reference:
Change the folder options

You can also use the Windows Classic theme in Windows 7, which looks like Windows XP.
See the article below which explains how to change the theme in Windows 7.

How can I return to the old preferences window? I don't like the new tab.
I used to be able to click: Firefox-> Preferences and get the window preferably. Firefox Preferences now opens as a tab. I don't know how or why it changed. But I don't like. How can I go back to the old way to open the preference window?
Hi, I'm not familiar with Mac, but I think it should work - it does in Windows: Type Subject: config in the address bar, press ENTER, accept the warning, scroll to browser.preferences.inContent and double-click on it to change the "value" from true to False, taking care to not to change what anyone else. You will then need to restart Firefox.
If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

Can I get my Windows 7 I don't like Windows 8
Original title: Windows
Is there a simple way to restore windows 7 on my computer? Windows 8 was installed accidentally want to return to my windows 7. Don't like windows 8.
Thank you
Hi Doris,.
Thank you for your comments about Windows 8. I'll be happy to answer your query.
Go to the previous version of Windows would be a downgrade and to do this, you need to reinstall Windows 7 completely after saving your files/data. It would be a clean install as its downgrade.
Another option is to update Windows 8 to 8.1 Windows and then upgrade to Windows 10 free before July 29, 2016.
Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

When I click on the + to open a new window I don't like the images that arise. I tried several times to change that through words: config; Browser.newtab.URL. I put in the site I want and it won't change. I tried to put in: blank and it don't work. I'm obviously something wrong - can you help please?
Thank you
If Firefox is ignorant preference browser.newtab.url, the usual culprit is an extension.
You can open the page in Firefox Add-ons using either:
- CTRL + SHIFT + a
- "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
- in the Windows "Run" dialog box, type or paste
firefox.exe "about:addons"
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete, if possible) not recognized and unwanted extensions. Do not forget that all extensions are optional, none come with Firefox, and you can learn more about them by checking their reviews on the site of the Add - ons.
Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.
Any improvement?

TRY TO UPGRADE TO WINDOWS 7 BUT C: DRIVE FULL DESPITE THE REMOVAL OF ALL UNNECESSARY PROGRAMS
I'm trying to upgrade to windows 7 Vista but not like the 40 GB c: partition has only 3 GB free. Removed all unnecessary programs, etc. If you only really have Vista on C: drive but still showing 37GB used. Any ideas how I can release another 6 GB of free space.
Tahnks a lotI hate to say it, but it would be a great time for a bigger hard drive. While 40 GB meets at least for installation you really need more for in-place-upgrading a system using 37 GB. Setup needs space for temporary files, its own temporary relocation, etc.
