hi lauraq,

i'm still not sure what you want to do...

do you want to be able to turn the folder view on and off?

that's simple organize >> layout >> navigation pane (or whatever it is in italian)

i'm sorry, but i still don't understand what you want.

the button on your screenshot in your first post is for the preview pane. you need to use the 'organize' menu to control the explorer tree view (now called navigation pane).

i don't think you can get what you want...:confused:

the preview pane button only switches the preview pane on and off. you can't use the preview pane button to change your view - all it does it let you preview selected files.

maybe you need to look at alternative file managers which will work more like xp's explorer.
