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.

  • How to adjust the default column is displayed in the Windows Explorer screens

    I would like to change the concrete by default of my columns when you use Windows Explorer screen. It bothers me that I can't find a way to change the columns that appear by default whenever I open a new window.

    I want to display more or less than the default value. Everytime I open a window a new session with the Explorer, it displays update, Type, size and tags by default.
    I know how to add or remove a column, but it is a pain when you have to do every time especially if I have more than 10 windows open at a time.
    There is some great information available especially with the content of media like music, videos or photos. There are many categories to choose from which must be wound up manually like BitRate, author, size, Date acquired, update, etc...

    Is it possible to change this so that by default, I can choose the columns to display by default. Do not have to adjust them each time I open a new window.

    It is a 64-bit version of Vista Ulitimate, but if there is a response, I think it applies to all Vista OS...

    Hello Chuckbytes,

    Thank you for posting.  I have a solution to your problem.  This fix is to modify the registry.  If you do not want to edit the registry, and then don't do these steps.  Also always do a backup of your registry before making any changes.
    These steps are courtesy of Médard Ghazi of Tweakguides.
    Please let me know if this helps you.

    Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk

    Changing folder views

    For example, you can set your directory \Users\[username]\Downloads to display in the Details view, but if you copy a picture, song or video in the directory, the next time that view you the content they can be display large icons mode. Even if go you back and change the view type, it can reset itself once more the next time you go a different file type in this directory.

    Solution

    Open the registry editor-
    Navigate to the following keys:

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags]

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagMRU]

    Right-click on the bags key in the left pane and select Remove, and then do the same for BagMRU. This will remove most of the existing customizations for things like window sizes, positions and views. While still in the same place in the registry editor, you must manually recreate one of these keys, with a new parameter. Right-click on the following key in the left pane:

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell]

    Create a new key called bags to replace the one you just removed. Right-click on the bags, select new > key and the name of this new AllFolderskey. Right click on AllFolders, select new > key and name the new key Shell. The final result should look like this:

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER Settings\Software\Microsoft\ Windows\Shell\Bags\AllFolders\Shell]

    Now left-click on the last key Shell and in the right pane click right-click in an empty area and select new > string value. Name this new string FolderType and once created, double-click on it and in the value data box, you can set the default view, that all files will be initially (unless otherwise stated) by entering one of the following values:

    NotSpecified
    Contacts
    Documents
    Music
    Photos

    For example, if you enter Documents in the FolderType value data box (which I recommend), then all the files for which you do not manually set a default view to the standard Documents records display as you set it.

    Now, in Windows Explorer, go to your \Users\[username]\ directory and for each of the folder main types down there (Documents, photos, music, videos), make sure that you set the view as you want, including things like choose the columns to show, and what each of them is, the size of any icons/thumbnails, how they are sorted, etc. When you make the changes for each folder click organize at the top of the Windows Explorer, select "Folder and Search Options", go to the display tab and click on the button "apply to folders. This will set this view to all folders of this type even, and this method also means that should you copy files to another type in a folder, it will not change this folder view settings - in the future that the settings should stay exactly as you let them.

    Update: There is a step more that can help ensure that these parameters remain fixed. Navigate to the following key:

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell]

    Left click on the Shell key and in the right pane, if you can see BagMRU Size then it is not necessary to take this step. If she's not there though, right click and select new > DWORD 32-bit value and name BagMRU Size. Now, set this value to 10000 in decimal mode (or 2710 in hexadecimal mode).

  • Where is the "log" in the toolbar of the burner? Also when I follow the directions to close the disk - where is 'windows explorer' I can't?

    When I click Start then computer and burner - where is windows Explorer, and where can I find her close a session on the toolbar?

    Hello geehosafat,

    Thank you for your response. The relay please if you are able to open Windows Media Player by clicking Start, and then by typing in the search box to start Windows Media Player. Then click on Windows Media Player based on the results of the search.

    In addition, when burning files to disc, if the disk has been formatted using the Format mastered, the option to close a session will not appear as disks formatted with the mastered Format do not need to be closed and automatically compatible with other computers. If the disk has been formatted with the live file system, you can close a session to be able to use the disc in another computer or player. By default, Windows does automatically when you eject the disc.

    Steps to burn files using Windows Explorer by using the live file system and mastered Format includes also, for reference, the link provided above burn a CD or DVD in Windows Explorer .

    When a PDF document is open in Windows Explorer, and pages are added, deleted, ratings, all types of changes, he cannot be saved until the Windows Explorer is completely closed.  If you try to save the document, you receive the error message next - "the document could not be saved.  The file may be read-only, or another user may have his opening.  Please save the document under a different name or in a different folder. «I have confirmed the document is not read only, it is not open by another user, and this is not open many times.»  Once completely, you close Windows Explorer and try to save the document, it saves without problem.

  • When the option is RECENTLY MODIFIED in Windows Explorer in Windows 7?

    In Vista, there was a practical option in Windows Explorer under LINKS FAVORITES, called RECENT CHANGES.  Go to C:\Users\USERNAME\Searches\Recently Changed.search - ms.  I used it a lot to make sure I got the files saved as my USB key that I've changed.  In Windows 7, I see some RECENT LOCATIONS, but no RECENT CHANGES.  How can I go back for RECENT CHANGES?

    Hello SDieker,

    An another workaround of sorts is to use recent as the location looking for recently changed. If you type lately in the address bar of Windows Explorer, you can view all the latest files/folder/program/etc. I then sort by modified Date to see what has been changed recently.

    Hope that helps.
