Making folder box no bigger than the folder
I'm mad as hell and I can't take it anymore.
Well, at least I'd like to change this. When I display a folder in XP, it insists on including a list of things I might do, like make a new folder, or places I could go, like the desktop, taking up a column more than an inch wide on the left. How do I get rid of this, so it looks like win98? I don't need to be spoon-fed. |

I used to go here a lot, but it's been years since I have, and I forgot about it, much less how to get there. Then on Folder Options dialog's Tasks section, select: "Use Windows classic folders" Then press OK. I see you have to change every instance just to get the one instance I really want. But that's okay. My desktop got so full of shortcuts it was getting slow to load, so I've moved all but a very few that I actually use pretty often to this new folder, which is on the desktop. (I have 14 icons in the quicklaunch bar, and I don't want to put any more there. ) |
