What prog or progs will restore traditional Win Explorer functions ?
Hi,
Windows always had it that if you click on a drive letter and chose details, (name date modified size etc) then went tools>folder options>view and clicked the button apply to folders, it then said this will be applied to all folders the next time you open this directory. Which was so after closing down all instances of win explorer and opening win explorer again.
In Win7 I selected a folder on a drive and got those large icon images so needing details as I always 100% need, I did the routine above.
There is no message though about next time etc etc.
when I then open a folder on that drive, I get those pesky large icons again.
No way am I going to have to go and select details view for every folder I open, so whats happened ?
1) How does one apply details view to all folders and nested folders add infinitum on a drive ?
So far everything I come to do in explorer has been messed up in win7.
Is there a utility to restore windows explorer to how it should be ?
2) There is no 'up a level' button either, ClassicShell I found on the www to restore such function.
I want a utility ideally that gives us back all the things that XP Win Explorer allowed.
3) I am in the right pane and it doesnt scroll, now one has to click there then scroll, but I dont want to select something I dont want.
4) The drive letter at left doesnt show what folder is open related to what i see in the right pane.
5) I seem to keep having to browse to the folder I had last used, it doesnt remember where I was last visiting.
This is fundamental stuff I have used since 3.1 Its taking a lot longer to browse my PC in win7 and thus jobs are taking longer so I am losing out financially.
Was it not necessary all these yrs to have these functions that have been removed ?
..so one download fix or many and which ?
Cheers
