how do I activate the navigation pain.
Are you saying there is no explorer view???
I really just need to see the folder structure, how else can you navigate if you have folders that are like 20 files deep? | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Lenovo

I opened "Windows Explorer" but this is just a window that shows "Libraries"
Where is this on my computer, I really just want to see the folders and the folder structure so I can navigate quickly, otherwise I have to click on a folder but after so much clicking I cant get back to where I was originally. THat was the benefit of the explorer view your could see the folder structure and easily mover around.
DOes this exist in windows 7? | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Lenovo
