OOPS. Got that backwards. I click the MINUS, & it changes to a PLUS.

Thanks or Good Luck,
There may be humor in this post, and,
Naturally, you will not sue,
should things get worse after this,

| | I spoke too soon,
| | In testing my theory I have found you have to...
| | A- Open explorer in a dual pane mode.
|
| Mine opens that way clicking "Explorer.scf". It opens with C:\
| highlighted in the L-pane & expanded one level. The R-pane shows the
| folders/files in C:\.
|
| (a) "START button, Find, F/F, Explorer.scf"
| It shows up without it's ".scf" in C:\Windows
| (b) R-Drag it to the QuickLaunch bar & release.
| (c) Choose "Copy here".
|
| | B- Click a drive on the left.
|
| At "START button, Setting, Folder Options, bolt Custom based...,
| Settings button", I am set...
|
| (a) Active Desktop
| Use Windows classic desktop
| (b) Browse folders
| Open each folder in the same windows
| (c) View WEB content in folders
| Only for folders where I select "as WEB" page
| (d) Click items as follows
| Single click to open an item (point to select)
| Underline icon files only when I point at them
|
| Fine. I click the D:drive (a now outdated copy of C:drive). D:drive
now
| shows up in the R-pane, but C:drive is still expanded in the L-pane,
not
| D:drive.
|
| | C- Click a folder in that drive on the left (say windows for
example).
|
| I must click the plus sign left of D:drive in the L-pane to get access
| to it's folders there. (Or, I can click one of it's folders in the
| R-pane, which also causes the L-pane to expand.) Then, both C:drive &
| D:drive are expanded in the L-pane.
|
| Fine. I clicked the plus sign of D:drive, then "Windows". D:drive's
| "Windows" is highlighted in the L-pane & shown in the R-pane.
|
| | D- Click on any folder or file in the left side pane you just
| expanded, so
| | it will show the contents of that in the right side pane.
|
| Huh? When did yours expand?
|
| | E- Close the left side folder and sure enough it bounces back open
| every
| | time.
|
| No. If I click the plus sign of D:drive in the L-pane, it...
|
| (a) Closes the tree in the L-pane, & changes to a minus sign.
| It stays closed.
| (b) D:drive is now showing in the R-pane, not D:\Windows.
|
| | It seems to only do it when the right side pane view is changed from
a
| click
| | on the left side.
|
| Not for me. I don't know, maybe...
|
| (1) Undo Active Desktop.
|
| (a) R-Clk the Desktop, point to Active Desktop, & select Customize
my
| Desktop.
| (b) Uncheck "View my Active Desktop as a WEB page" & Apply.
|
| Is there anything in the box under that item? Those are WEB sites
that
| would appear on the Desktop. Delete them.
|
| (c) At the Effects tab, uncheck "Hide icons when the Desktop is
viewed
| as a WEB page" & OK.
| (d) R-Clk the Desktop, & uncheck "View as WEB page".
|
| (2) "START, Settings, Folder Options, General tab". Set to "Classic
| style". If all gets better, click "Custom...", & gingerly go back to
how
| you like it. But stay away from "Enable all Web related content...".
|
| | I hope this is clear enough instructions so you all can see what is
| | happening....
