    windows 7 Folder problems


    I am recently new to windows 7 and honestly I'd like to heave this computer right out the window.

    1. I have a persistent folder view settings issue...
    I have followed the tutorial published by brink about this to no avail
    I reset all folder to default then set the views
    I then used a reg fix that posted by brink..and it worked
    for about an hour.. and everything is back as before

    2. my other issue is when opening folders or another windows they open on top of the window thats open.

    3. when working in folders
    if i am renaming files I am not able to see those changes unless I close the folder and reopen it.

    Notice these are all related to my folders

    I think what you are experiencing is the same as mentioned here (even though behavior is a tad different for you)
    Windows 7 does not refresh folder views - Microsoft Answers

    on MS answers.
    Every fix I know of for this is there already.

In Vista I could right click on the start button, then open all users and change or add folders. I would do this more or less to keep the amount of items small. In Windows 7 any attempt to add a folder says it cannot because the folder is open somewhere else. ?
