Windows Explorer: Folder Browsing
I've found a couple annoyances I've found with Windows Explorer.
First, I have Windows Explorer's View customized with these settings:
- Under "Organize > Layout", I have the details and navigation panes selected so I can quickly drill down to the folder I need.
- Under "Folder Options", I have both Navigation pane options selected (Show all folders, and Automatically expand to current folder).
With that said, here are my issues:
- Let a folder have the sub folders subA, subB, and subC. I want to drill into the folders in subA, so I position the tree control so that subA is at the top. As soon as I select subA, though, Windows 7 relocates this folder to the bottom of my tree view. Why does Windows 7 likes to position my selected tree item at the bottom? Can I turn that off?
- Dialog Boxes:
If I click (for example) the Manage Attachments link below, the dialog box opens to the last used drive. I scroll the tree view control over to where I want to select my files from, but as soon as I let go of the mouse button, the focus snaps back to the folder the dialog box started with. I can scroll to my folder again, and the annoyance does not repeat, but it will happen the next time I open a dialog box to select something in a different folder.- One final complaint: The address bar no longer displays the "true" path, but rather a "logical" (?) path.
Instead ofI now haveCode:C:\Users\jp2code\DocumentsI can get the address bar to display the "true" path by clicking the folder icon in the address bar ...but if I do that too fast, Windows Explorer creates a shortcut to that folder in that folder for me. What's that for?Code:* Libraries * Documents * My Documents
Does anyone know how to address either of these issues?
