Filemanager View

[Guest Jeff Granger]

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

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.

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.

Set it the way you want and then click Tools | Folder Options | View | Apply

to all folders.

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

Create a shortcut with target:

explorer.exe /e,

 

Good Luck, Ayush.

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.
