Hi all,
For as long as I can remember using Windows, when downloading and naming files sequentially (fileyadaname1, fileyadaname2,etc), Windows Explorer has always shown a drop down list for the benefit of the ongoing additional file naming. That is the list of the previously added and sequentially named files in the series.
A few days ago I downloaded and ran Windows 7 Folder Background Changer, and once the stand-alone-executable opened, I received an alert the program wanted to add a startup entry. At which point I closed the program and removed it, without having clicked anything else in the UI.
Upon rebooting, all of my custom file and folder settings were changed and so I restored the machine with the restore point made prior to downloading. Following which everything was returned to it's previous state, other than the drop-down-list mentioned above is no longer being populated when it should be? Nothing else has been changed during the given period.
Presently I'm trying to wade through a large number of randonly named images, housed on a server gallery, which without this functionality is proving to be a real pain! So can anyone tell me how to get this functionality back please, and put me out of my misery?
Thanks in advance.
