    Windows Explorer - Column Layout Problem


    When I open Widows Explorer the columns are squeezed towards the left hand side of the window so that some of them may be completely hidden. I expand them out by dragging them with the mouse, do whatever it is I need to, then close the window. If I then open it up again however, the columns are once more compressed to the LH side. How can I get the window layout to stay as I want it?

    Hello Grandsire, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    Normally you should be able to also use the Size All Columns to Fit option in the tutorial below, and close the folder to have it be the same as last closed when you open that specific folder next. If that doesn't help, then you might see if resetting all folder views back to default may. Hope this helps, :)

Hi! Is it possible to alter the behavior of the left column (with the favorites and the file tree) of the Windows-Explorer? One thing that changed from Vista to Win7 is that the favorites are no longer fixed, which is a major annoyance. Another thing that bothers me is the fact that...
I recently tried out a program called Windows 7 Folder Background Changer. It was fun to try it out, but I decided not to use it. After using the application, there are now thin lines between columns in details view. I seem to recall there being a setting somewhere in the folder options for Win7...
Hi all, As the title says, under the Windows Explorer of my Windows 7 64-bit Lenovo Thinkpad T61 notebook, ONLY FOR SOME FOLDERS, NOT ALL, the top bar with the column names does not appear; hence I can't sort the files of that folder according to one criterion. Of course, I always check that...
Hey guys, Lovin' 7 - 64bit here. Question though. In the spirit of liking how OS X Finder (windows explorer counterpart for the mac) works, I'd like to see if there's a way to manipulate windows explorer to show via column view. See screenshot. ...
