windwos 7 question
I have just started using win7 ultimate. I like the cions set at medium.
Can I do this once and set every folder that way? I get tired of doing it going into every folder. |

Set any folder the way you want it, then open the folder options (Alt+T, Folder options...) and in the View tab click Apply to Folders. -- I have no idea what you just said. |

It can be done but I use Classic Shell / Classic Start Menu / Classic Explorer so the method may differ slightly from yours: Open windows explorer to C drive. Click View. Choose Medium Icons (assumes you do not already have them set to medium). Click Tools. Click View. Click Apply to Folders. BTW, I bet you would like Classic Shell for Win 7: http://www.classicshell.net/ |

Bill Download to where ever you want the download to end up is a function of the software that you use to download with, and is not a function of Win Explorer. |

For example, don't expect a browser to copy as C:\some.file . That's considered illegal, and could cause the browser to abort. The root of C: is supposed to be protected on modern Windows. That's to prevent malware from affecting any files remotely related to booting that happen to be in the root of C: . The browser has a Preferences panel (or a hamburger symbol for getting there), and one of the elements in the Preferences should be a place to define a Downloads location. You can, for example, create C:\Downloads and use that value in the browser Preferences, and it will work. What's not supposed to be allowed, is dumping directly into C: itself. Paul |
