    I have a question about win7 windows explorer


    In Xp Pro I could turn off the navigation panel on the left side in the folders on my desktop. And it wouldn't effect the navigation panel in windows explorer. In Win7 I find when I turn off the navigation panel in the folders on my desktop it also effects windows explorer. Why is this happening? Is there a way to fix this?

    Hello Steve,

    Turning the navigation pane on or off in Windows 7 is a global setting in Windows Explorer. It can't just be turned on or off for individual folders in Windows Explorer.

    Navigation Pane - Turn On or Off

    You might see if using an explorer alternative like Explorer++, FreeCommander, or Total Commander may work better for this though.

    Hope this helps, :)
