Guest Jeff Granger Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 Is there a way to make Windows Explorer open in "file manager" view by default? i.e Folders on the left hand side, rather than File and Folder Tasks etc Jeff
Guest Ron Badour Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 Re: Filemanager View Maybe it is just me but I don't understand what you want. What is a Folder Task? Maybe instead of saying what you don't want, tell us exactly what you want displayed in the left pane. -- Regards Ron Badour MS MVP 1997 - 2007 "Jeff Granger" <jeff.granger@btclick.com> wrote in message news:DdOdneQeXaciPxbbnZ2dnUVZ8t-nnZ2d@bt.com... > Is there a way to make Windows Explorer open in "file manager" view by > default? i.e Folders on the left hand side, rather than File and Folder > Tasks etc > > Jeff >
Guest Jeff Granger Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 Re: Filemanager View In Explorer, clicking the "Folders" button toggles the display on the left hand side of the window below. Normally, in XP the left pane has shortcuts in boxes titled File and Folder Tasks / Other Places / Details Click the Folders button and it changes to a list of folders (like you used to get in Windows 3 File manager), and that's how I want it to appear all the time.

Guest Ron Badour Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 Re: Filemanager View I must lead a charmed life--I have never seen that great (NOT) feature before. I can change to the one you rightfully detest, but I cannot get it to save so my Explorer opens as you want yours to open. Try using the classic folders view and see if that gives you what you want: Help file: classic folders -- Regards Ron Badour MS MVP 1997 - 2007 "Jeff Granger" <jeff.granger@btclick.com> wrote in message news:7MOdnZDXmpYINhbbnZ2dnUVZ8sSrnZ2d@bt.com... > In Explorer, clicking the "Folders" button toggles the display on the left > hand side of the window below. > > Normally, in XP the left pane has shortcuts in boxes titled File and > Folder Tasks / Other Places / Details > > Click the Folders button and it changes to a list of folders (like you > used to get in Windows 3 File manager), and that's how I want it to appear > all the time. > > Jeff > > > > > "Ron Badour" <Sorry@NoAddress.com> wrote in message > news:e$GMyQkvHHA.4796@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... >> Maybe it is just me but I don't understand what you want.

Guest RalfG Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Re: Filemanager View Start - Program Files-Accessories-Windows Explorer, or make a shortcut to it on your desktop. Always opens in folder tree view for me.
