Hi good people,
I am wondering if anyone knows how to stop this MOST annoying habit in Windows 7 Ultimate 64.
Whenever using windows explorer to navigate my folder trees, every time i click to open a given folder the entire list JUMPS and drops the newly opened folder to the bottom of the list, however if I happened to have open, or left any number of paths expanded, then that jump completely loses me from where I am at.
As it is my eyes have been getting progressively worse, and despite wearing progressive multi-focal contact lenses, refocusing on something after such movement takes a bit more effort than i certainly would need to expend if it just opened in place, not to mention the added strain to my eyes (having been told i have early cataracts) which is never going to improve.
So I wish to know if there is some archaic hidden system setting that would avoid this from happening, as well as, despite clicking on a folder to access its content, if it is the first time in a new explorer window, no matter which one i have chosen, it always jumps back up to the libraries...and i have to scroll back down to the level of the tree i had opened, if i wanted to view libraries...well.... they were the first option in the newly opened window...so WHY does MS feel the need to jam their use down our throats? LOL!
Seriously though, and I know this may sound like a petty bitching session, it really does irk me to no end as well as finding increasing annoying having to so much extra unnecessary scrolling, not to mention while moving allot of files around or gathering them to be consolidated, it results it allot of productivity time being consumes needlessly, and to what end? I mean REALLY, what possibly purpose could such responses to user actions could these "quirks" possibly serve?
Can anyone advise me as to how to stop this insanity before "I" am the one who becomes insane??? YES it is that strongly felt, and has as much impact to my patience and ability to stay focused on what i am doing.... being ADD/ADHD is probably what causes it to become more than just a petty annoyance as i am sure not many people LIKE this new twist after the stable folder navigation of XP!
Thank you to all contributors, the best answer will forever be in my debt! (or does that go the other way around LOL)
TSG!
