How do you mean "make the one in Windows 7 ACT the same (my emphasis) as the one in XP"? I have View set to Details. On the XP version, I can scroll down the left column with the arrow keys and the view will open, in the right window, the contents of the folder I have arrowed to. In the Windows7 version, you have to hit the enter key, or use the mouse. Another thing that drives me nuts, is when I do click on a folder, or the + to open the sub folders in the left window, it opens the folder but the moves the view to the bottom of the windows. I have to scroll down to see the sub-folders. -- www.lightningnews.com Lightning fast anonymous usenet downloads for 5$ only !

The XP Explorer was easier to negotiate. A few things are nice, like the Libraries, Downloads and Recent Places. I hope someone can offer a happy in between XP and W7 :-) Grenou

Doesn't happen here.... I am sure it has nothing to do with it, but I loaded the 32bit version (fearing my image editor's plugins might not work with the 64bit). You are lucky it doesn't do that, it is very annoying. I have partly got around it by not clicking on the left but opening every folder in a new window, then closing the ones I don't want. Grenou
