Need Help with Windows Explorer Bar
Posted by William G. Davis on February 28th, 2006


This seems so simple but it escapes me. I am using the web view for my
folders. I open a folder and the left pane is covered by default with the
"explorer bar" folder list. I prefer the left pane simply show the "File
and Folder Tasks, Details, and Other Places, etc. as the default view. So
how do I turn off the explorer bar?

I have tried changing the settings and saving the view for all folders with
the explorer bar unchecked in the view settings. Doesn't work.

I'll be posting this on a few other groups as I am unsure of where this
question goes.

Any help would be appreciated. This is for a Win XP/SP2 setup, 3.0 Ghz
processor, 2GB RAM.

Thanks!

W. G. Davis

You have to click on My Computer to open the Explorer in single-pane
view with the Tasks list at the left. When using the Windows Explorer
shortcut or the WIN+E key combo, the double-pane Explorer will open
and the Folders list will hide the Task list.
