    Explorer View


    Hi,

    I just started using windows 7. I am finding it really hard to navigate, is there a explorer view in windows 7? How is this activated, I usually right click on computer and choose explore in windows xp, but this doesnt exist in windows 7.

    There is no ''real'' ,old explorer like in XP.
    You've got Navigation Pane instead ,wich is even better than explorer view.

    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?

    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?

    What about if you scroll down to a HD & click on it ?
