Solved Details View too Tight

[christantoan]

This happens after I try DreamScene Activator from here:
DreamScene Activator: Activate DreamScene In All Editions Of Windows 7 & Vista | door2windows

My folder view is resetted for all folder types to default details view, auto-folder discovery is likely turned off too, and some view modes is too tight including list, details view modes. But view modes in Library doesn't affected. Well, I can't explain it clearly but focus on the blue selection color where at library is wider than in any other mode





I've tried to remove DreamScene Activator and sfc with no luck
Thanks

EDIT: Auto-Refresh is disabled too. So I have to click Refresh to view file I copied, moved, or extracted. And I don't have any idea to enable it

Can't you just move the column header to the size you need it to be.?

i'm not quite sure what your problem is, if you want to make the columns wider or narrower, move your mouse pointer to the top of the column where i've put the red lines.



your mouse cursor should then change, and you will be able to resize the width. i tried to get a screenshot of this, but it was difficult.

==========================================

the auto-refresh thing is an annoying bug that only a few people experience. i've had it from time to time (even with sp1) and would love to know what the fix is. do you have any system restore points? that was the only way i could get rid of the very annoying problem.

No. I don't mean the Left-Right wide but the up-down wide of file selection (the row width I guess)
And please tell me how to enable auto-refresh

 

[mickey megabyte]

do you mean the height of each blue bar?

or the whole width of it? it seems wider in your library view because there is an empty and wide 'size' column on the right.

 

[christantoan]

Yes I mean the height of each blue bar

i'm sorry, but i can't help you with that - but now we know exactly what your problem is, maybe others can.

good luck!

 

[christantoan]

OK. Thanks for trying to help

Update:

If I change the folder type to something other than "General Items", the row width is back to normal. So I guess the problem is with "General Items" folder types

thanks for reporting back

OK. Solved.
First, close all Explorer windows. Open Regedit and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell and delete "BagMRU" and "Bag" keys and close Regedit


Then open ONE folder you want to fix and close it

Open Regedit again and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags (This key store all your folder view settings) and find ALL DWORD Values called FFlags and change its value to 41200001 in hexadecimal and close Regedit


Open troubled folder again (it should be fixed now) and open Folder Options -> View -> Apply to Folders. And if you happen to come across a folder that is "fixed" but you don't want to fix it (for example Computers) just open Folder Options -> View -> Reset Folders.

Done and sorry I can't make better tutorials
Thanks

does this solve the refresh bug as well?

 

[christantoan]

Well. I don't know why. But after I restart my PC that bug is gone

Sorry

 

[mickey megabyte]

no need to apologise

i've been looking for a solution for that refresh bug for a long time...
