Solved Vertical Line

[Riptorn]

Hi guys, can someone please tell me how to stop the long vertical line in the folders etc from moving side to side? i have to keep stretching the line everytime i use any foldres is very annoying! thanks

Rip mate can you send a pic of just what you are looking at when this is going on?

 

[Riptorn]

hi, here is the image, you see the line, it is going all the way down, next to the drives, i have to keep moving it across to see everything...

 

[ICIT2LOL]

Rip can you get onto that line as you do with stuff like email windows and drag and drop the line to the right? see both pics

 

[Riptorn]

yes, i do that, all the time... i am sick of doing it, is there anyway that it can stay permanently to the left at a specific space, as every time i go back - to any folder, i have to ajust it all the time.. you understand what i mean??

 

[ICIT2LOL]

Sorry late reply Rip had to duck out for a bit, Yes I do know what you mean and mine is as my pic and I can drag and drop mine as / when I like.

Have you tried any system checks yet if not maybe it would be as well to run these

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/433-disk-check.html > if there are any errors there are the options in Option 2 such as /f and /r

it is worth a try if only to eliminate them.

No need for the scans mate, in the upper right of any folder or Explorer window, click the icon shown. What you see is called the Preview Pane.

 

[Riptorn]

Thank you, but i need to keep the preview on, as i do a lot of photo's and the preview is great, why each time i have to expand the line all the time? when i close the folders..drive me nuts!. i did scans but all is good! please help me.. i'm going crazy!!

 

[Britton30]

In that case you can still toggle Preview of then use the icon to the left to show large or extra large icons.

I really don't know why your is so wide, but shouldn't be virus related.

 

[Riptorn]

hi britton30, yes i can do that but why everytime i open up the folder, surely there is a way to keep it set the way i want! instead of dragging it across all the time? help!!!!!

 

[Britton30]

Let's try these steps as shown in my snips.

 

[Riptorn]

hi, i followed everything but the apply to folders is greyed out???

 

[Britton30]

Do the folders revert after doing what I said in post #10?

Is this a folder you created?

 

[Riptorn]

no this is not a folder i created.. how to revert when its greyed out?

 

[Britton30]

If it's a Windows folder, Pictures, Music, etc, they have special properties and can't be changed.

have no idea why the pane is so big though.

Try clicking the Reset Folders button.

 

[Riptorn]

the folder i was viewing was my computer, i reset the folders it said are you sure? i said ok, inside the computer i can apply to all folders if i want to??should i do this? to each folder, like music,pics etc, thanks

 

[Britton30]

Yes, give it a try and see what we get.

 

[Riptorn]

it worked thank britton30, but why did it happen?

 

[Britton30]

I wish I knew mate. Running some diagnostic, an update, sleep or hibernate all may cause various issues.

Glad you got it fixed though.
