Explorer View

[JeffW]

Hi,

I just started using windows 7. I am finding it really hard to navigate, is there a explorer view in windows 7? How is this activated, I usually right click on computer and choose explore in windows xp, but this doesnt exist in windows 7.

Do you have Windows Explorer Folder on your taskbar ?

There is no ''real'' ,old explorer like in XP.
You've got Navigation Pane instead ,wich is even better than explorer view.

how do I activate the navigation pain.

Are you saying there is no explorer view???

I really just need to see the folder structure, how else can you navigate if you have folders that are like 20 files deep?

Start > type in Explorer View > click on it

I opened "Windows Explorer" but this is just a window that shows "Libraries"

Where is this on my computer, I really just want to see the folders and the folder structure so I can navigate quickly, otherwise I have to click on a folder but after so much clicking I cant get back to where I was originally. THat was the benefit of the explorer view your could see the folder structure and easily mover around.

DOes this exist in windows 7?

What about if you scroll down to a HD & click on it ?

I clicked on that bar, and see the window, but it doesnt have the folder structure.

Is there a way to change the settings so the folder view is available. LIke windows XP when you right click on my computer and choose explor?

 

[JeffW]

OK it works!!! I just had to go to "Tools" -> folder options ->show all folders

Thanks
