windows explorer?
thanks,
Re: what happened to windows explorer?
Yea, I HATE the new windows explorer. What I did was, in the lefthandlist drag "Computer"(might be "My Computer", but not on Vista at the
moment), from the bottom to the top, which is you favorites. This way
it's always at the top of the lefthand list. When I click on it, it
will list each drive letter and I can get to all my drives that way.
The dropdown list, which in XP used to show all y drives, no longer
does and this is where I get annoyed.

Re: what happened to windows explorer?
I've never used Explorer on my computers since Win 95. I use a utilitycalled Power Desk , which was originally distributed by Ontrack, which is
highly configurable and makes it very easy to navigate your drives for file
management. I've been hoping MS would design a newer version of Explorer
that is as useful but looks like it's not going to happen.

Re: what happened to windows explorer?
I use Power Desk too, much better than Explorer. Does it work with Vista?

Re: what happened to windows explorer?
So far so good...I'm only using version 5 ( there is a 6 now) and it workslike it always has which surprised me. It's been through several different
software companies, I think Mijenix was first, then OnTrack and now a
company called V-Comm.
http://www.v-com.com/company/comp_ontrack.html
There still is a free version available
http://www.v-com.com/product/PowerDesk_free.htmlIt
If I remember correctly the free version does most of what the regular
version does and well worth trying out.

Re: what happened to windows explorer?
I'm using PowerDesk in the Explorer Plus version from Novatix. It isversion 6.
Works better under VISTA so far -- under XP it started crashing
frequently.

Re: what happened to windows explorer?
You can find the Icon for Windows Explorer at Start/AllPrograms/Accessories.
If you use your right mouse button to copy the Icon to your desktop and then
right click on it and select properties you can change the shortcut to
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e, C:\
by adding the /e, C:\
and this will cause it to start up windows explorer with your C drive
directory open

Re: what happened to windows explorer?
Do a HELP search on [keyboard shortcuts] and expand and print theresult!
Hosts of useful ones
-- WINKEY + Pause >> System Information
-- WINKKEY / U >> shutdown choices so that
WINKEY / U / R / ENTER >> restart your computer
Note that + means hold down both at the same time; / means sequentially
