No "Enable Web Content in Folders" Option
Its on the General tab, Use Common Tasks. Click the Folders button on the
toolbar to close the left pane in Explorer and you'll see the Common Tasks pane, where web content is displayed. -- Doug Knox, MS-MVP Windows XP/ Windows Smart Display Win 95/98/Me/XP Tweaks and Fixes http://www.dougknox.com -------------------------------- Associate Expert ExpertZone - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone -------------------------------- Please reply only to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Under W2K, for example, the left pane would show the folder tree and on the left side of the right pane would be a pie chart of the drive useage and beneath that would be a thumbnail of a photo, or a sound player scrollbar, or a small video window depending on what file type you had selected. The folder options included a checkbox to 'Enable Web Content' that made all of this possible. I want the folder tree left pane open wihle displaying the Web content. Thanks, Robert Haden |

That has been replaced by the Common Tasks pane. When you highlight "web"
content in the right pane, the details section of the left pane will display the thumbnail/preview and other relavent info. -- Doug Knox, MS-MVP Windows XP/ Windows Smart Display Win 95/98/Me/XP Tweaks and Fixes http://www.dougknox.com -------------------------------- Associate Expert ExpertZone - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone -------------------------------- Please reply only to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

No "Enable Web Content in Folders" Option
I know I'm probably being a pain, but I did try your
suggestion earlier. I can get a filename.bmp file to show a thumbnail, but when I highlight an AVI or and MPG filename I don't get a media player in thumbnail size like I do with W2K. I also can't navigate around very efficiently without switching back and forth with the folder tree. What I need for my work is the folder tree in the left pane and the media previews in the right pane like I have in W2K. I do work on several desktops with W2K and I just bought this Toshiba Laptop with XP and am really disappointed in this version of windows. Do I need to throw XP away and install W2K to regain this functionality? Thanks again for your help, Robert Haden -----Original Message----- That has been replaced by the Common Tasks pane.

If you're referring to the old "Web View" pane in Explorer, it does not
exist in XP. You may want to try http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm, Line 17, Right column Restore Thumbnail Views in XP. This small utility will restore thumbnail views in Explorer, and may solve your issue with previews in the common tasks pane.

You can use you W2K files to do this. HTT will show in three pane in
Explorer in legacy mode (folder tree). The inbuilt XP ones turn off the folder pane. The problem is it must be set on a folder by folder basis. The folder must be read only or system. The GUI will not show or allow you to change this for folders. Use attrib. There must be a file called desktop.ini in it with the following - [{5984FFE0-28D4-11CF-AE66-08002B2E1262}] PersistMoniker=file://Folder Settings\Serenity.htt [ExtShellFolderViews] {5984FFE0-28D4-11CF-AE66-08002B2E1262}={5984FFE0-28D4-11CF-AE66-08002B2E1262 } Adjust the path to the htt (in C:\Windows\Web in 2000). Although 98/ME htt will work you'll get some issues (there are magic numbers and they are different 9x vs NT) so best to use W2K. The final step is to reset folder settings. The above line is only read if there are no saved settings for that folder. This is the only setting that doesn't take immediate effect. Tools - Folder Options - View - Reset Folder Settings (and have all windows closed). If you no longer have access to 2000 you can email me for a W2k/XP port of this WinME program www.angelfire.com/biz/serenitymacros The ME one semi works in NT, it the same thing as with the magic numbers being different. But you still need to follow above procedure in XP as custom htt are no longer global. "Doug Knox MS-MVP" wrote in message ...
