Creamy Goodness

i think the pic explains it all...



i want the side bar where the arrow is in the image to stay put everytime i open my computer and other folders.

i've tried using folder options and things like that but it doesn't work.

In Folder options switch to not classic.
And apply changes to all folders.

/me checks it s called Show Common Tasks and apply to all folders or just that one etc:

Leaving it off makes your pc quicker as it doesnt chek all paths on opening things.

No, he wants a permanent Explorer view. In My Computer, go to: Tools > Folder Options > File Types. Choose "Folder" (not "File Folder"), hit Advanced. In Actions, highlight 'explore' and hit Set Default. Click OK out of all your dialog boxes, and now when you open My Computer, or any folder, it'll have the Explorer view. To show the "common tasks" sidebar again, just hit that button you've been hitting all along.

Hit windows button and E at the same time.

Also: Command line / shortcut options

Tools > Folder Options > File Types. Choose "Folder" (not "File Folder")

Where exactly does Folder appear then?



Bah. I get it. You mean folder when sorted by FileTypes ? Under N/A for extensiona.
