    Folder view - list (file names cut off)


    Anyone else have this problem with long file names?
    When using the folder view of list, it cuts off the file name past a certain point. I've looked around and can't find a setting that allows me to modify this setting.

    In Vista and previous versions of Windows after switching to list view you could just hit refresh and the cut off file names would appear and the invisible list columns would maximize accordingly.



    Just wanted to see if there was any way to resolve this before submitting it to MS.

    Maybe its because your viewing it in libraries? See if it acts the way you want it to in a normal folder.

    Negative, it occurs anywhere in Windows Explorer.

    same here, it's really annoying. you have to keep the mouse on a file to view its full name.

    i hope there's a way to show the full filename

    Try clicking "View" in the menu bar. Select details.You will now see a top bar over the items. Right click the "Name" and "Size all columns to fit"

    You did select Detail mode from the menu bar - View, to set up the column sizes?
    That is the menu bar from: Organise - layout , and tick "menu bar"


    P.S. Maybe another one for the Tutorials if it is not already in there?
