Default Folder Options

You're right, Gerry. I've got to learn to stop answering
question late at night. Thanks for pointing the OP in the right
direction.

That shows Common Tasks on the left. Surely the answer is in
Windows
Explorer to select, View, Explorer Bar, Folders. You can
switch views
easily by clicking on the Folders icon on the Toolbar if
Standard
Buttons has been selected (View, Toolbar, Standard Buttons).

Right now, my wife's computer shows all using the files
only
display. How
do I switch to the split screen format?


Go to Control Panel and double click on Folder Options.
On the General page, make sure "Show common tasks in
folders"
is selected.
Click OK.

Good luck
