Vista - Windows Explorer Layout

Well I dont have a fix for the left to right problem of the folders pane but
as far as the up and down, try this:

Move it up to where you want it
Then hit the down arrow next to the word "folders"
That minimizes it
Then hit it again (now its an up arrow)
That brings it back up to where you left it.
Then close Explorer and open again. See if that makes it stick.

Hi.
Each time I start the Windows Explorer, I have to resize the window, move
the folders pane up and increase its width. Why couldn't be this remembered?

Thanks,
Jan

Hi Ecat,
thanks for this tip. The problem is, that the folder pane is anchored to
the bottom, instead of to the top. It should stay in the same location
during resize. Hopefully this will get fixed. Thanks for the hint, it
works - at least for the one location I set it in.

There is also something there called "Display simple folder view in
Navigation pane", which I can't figure out.

Hi,
Thank you for answer. Unfortunately I am not the lucky man who could have
5472, but it is fine that this works now. But if this setting is remembered
for each folder's view, will the navigation pane resize on every folder
change?

The Display simple folder view in Navigation pane is in the Folder options
and in short it hides the tree lines and prohibits you to have more than one
folder expanded in the treeview.

I think the Windows Explorer has quite large number of bugs which are the
only ones which really slows my work down and makes me feel a little bit
unconfortable in Vista. I've tried to report them with the Feedback tool but
since I'm not in the beta subscription of connect program I wonder if they
get any attention, since all returned with External resolution.

Jan.
