Guest Trevor Lawrence Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Can someone please explain I have a pictures folder which I minimised with the box second from top right. When I reduced the width, instead of all the pictures remaining visible with a scroll bar, some pictures went off the screen The normal behaviour is this Maximised |--------------------Visible on screen------------------| | 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 |11 12 13 14 15 etc Minimise |--Visible on screen--|-Scroll bar-| | 1 2 3 4 5|---------------| | 6 7 8 9 10|---------------| |11 12 13 14 15|---------------| etc What happened was this |-Visible on screen--| |1 2 3 4 5|-Scroll bar-| 6 7 8 9 10 |11 12 13 14 15|---------------| etc So pictures 6 to 10 were off the screen and could not be scrolled to What I did next was to copy all the pictures to another folder. This worked OK, so I deleted the original and renamed the copy to the SAME NAME as the original. When I did this, the behaviour returned. I then changed the name by one character different from the original, and it worked properly again. A restart did NOT alter this behaviour What is happening? Can I ever use the original name again? Or will it forever be haunted with this strange behaviour? Will a reboot help? -- Trevor Lawrence Canberra Web Site http://trevorl.mvps.org
