Guest Jethro Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 I have two machines. On one machine, if I double-click on, say, My Computer, I get two sub windows in the resulting window - ICONS on the right and what I will call a menu on the left (showing for example 'system tasks'). On the other machine there is only one sub window - namely the sub window containing the ICONS. No menu sub window on the left. Now for my dumb question - How do I control which I get? I can't find the setting to do the job. Obviously I set something on one machine different from what I set on the other machine. The question is what? I told you it was dumb! Anyone? Jethro

Thanks I wonder what each really does. I'll try them one at a time - they appear to be opposites. Jethro

Guest riprap Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Re: Apearance of a Window? Hello, Jethro Like the man sd, 'Dumb answers are still free.' So here's a free answer: Try this: Get on the machine that's got the performance you want to change. Bring up a window. Use the "Folders" icon on the menu bar to change the window to the setting you want all the time. Once you've got it the way you want it, select Tools > Folder Options > View > Folder Views, select "Apply to All Folders", and OK your way out. Perhaps this will help---Good Luck [:-P riprap ========================= On Jul 24, 12:42 pm, Jethro <Wil...@somewhere.org> wrote: > I have two machines.
