system parameter to set for "experienced" users
I know that 90+ % of windows users appreciate all those nice things that it
does, i.e. showing small previews instead of standard icons, or author/title/album/duration when they open a music folder (instead of date/hour/attributes), or decide automatically which language must be shown when they browse to a multilingual website, and many other little other tips, often generating a very-long-to-complete green bar at the top, wasting my time now, where is the problem? "working" with many files of many different types, I'd like to reduce the time windows uses to show me things in "the best way" I do not need the small preview, I don't need title and song duration, I want all the web pages in english, even if I'm connected from Lesotho or Switzerland, I'm enough experienced to recognize what I need without any support so, the question is: is there any system parameter that forces windows to avoid all those nice things and makes exactly what I need? I tried setting the folder properties as generic but if often fails and revert to multimedia or picture or documents or else; I set, and set, and set them, but they revert back to smart-and-bright-for-most-users I'm really cvffrq bss Unfortunately, the company uses windows software and we all must use windows systems -- /-\ /\/\ /\/\ /-\ /\/\ /\/\ /-\ T /-\ -=- -=- -=- -=- -=- -=- -=- -=- - -=- http://www.bb2002.it ............

The BagMRU is an older technique for setting storage space for a lot of folders. If this is not set large enough, it could cause problems with the consistency of Folder views later. Maybe you set a new folder to "Sort By Name", and open it later and find it is "Sort By Date". It's possible this .reg file wouldn't work on a later OS like Win10, because it is possible they don't use the ShellBags as in previous OSes. And I'm not certain the syntax in this example is correct. But you'll find that out when you go to use it. While you could edit the desktop.ini file and change the setting on a per-folder basis that way, the changes would not be permanent. The File Explorer can re-define the desktop.ini in the blink of any eye, so your effort to do it that way would be wasted. This registry method (assuming it still works), should be a more permanent method. And they're increasing the storage, in an attempt to make File Explorer remember the settings for all the folders. ******* https://superuser.com/questions/5132...of-audio-video Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ; Reset and delete all saved folder customizations and settings.

For some reason, my Win 7 system recently started showing the "green bar crawl" whenever I opened folders that contained image files. I haven't had time to investigate it, and now thanks to you I have the answer handed me on a silver platter! -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://BrownMath.com/ http://OakRoadSystems.com/ Shikata ga nai... |

I rather fear Ammammata's "I tried setting the folder properties as generic but it often fails and revert"[s] would apply to this too. To not show a preview pane on the right side of the window (after selecting a file), choose to hide it. I don't think s/he's bothered about whether it shows or not, just the added time that extracting and creating it takes. (If hiding it also stops that time being needed, then of course it's a good hint ... Windows Explorer - toolbar - click the layout icon (right end) .... other than that such a setting might not "stick", as above.) If you don't want to see the details pane at the bottom of the window (after selecting a file), choose to hide it. (Again, I don't think s/he's bothered about whether the pane is there, just its creation time - again, if hiding it means it isn't created, that'd help.) Windows Explorer - Organize button in toolbar - Layout Deselect the details pane. (Again, may not stick.) Languaging for a web site is not handled by Windows. You'll have to configure language options in your unidentified web browser. Yes, that bit puzzled me too: AFAIK, pages can only offer a (manual _or_ automatic) choice of languages if the page source code includes multiple ones, and if it does, I doubt there's much you can do to reduce its time loading - unless, I suppose, it is done by scripting, and only loads one of them. Even then, having it always display just US English wouldn't be any faster, unless the page source includes that but not the others. -- J. P. Gilliver.

If all you say were true then the OP is using some software that restores a prior state to the computer; e.g., SteadyState, Returnil System Safe, Restore Rx, Shadow Defender, Deepfreeze, Toolwiz Time Freeze, a tweaker that restores on login, or maybe even some security software or domain policies. If options for Windows Explorer are not sticking then something is unsticking them. |
