| | XP-style folder tree in explorer Hi all, I seem to recall reading somewhere that there is a mod you can make to change the style of the tree view from the Vista little arrow style back to the XP and earlier "+ / -" with dotted lines indicating the nesting levels. I like the arrows in Vista, but the indents are way to small for me to be able to "read" the tree view at a glance... and of course, the arrows don't show up until you mouse over. I can't find where I read this anymore... or was I dreaming? THX, moi |

| | Re: XP-style folder tree in explorer Nobody...? What I would really like is the kind of tree display that Vista's regedit has... little arrows AND dotted lines... far easier to read... --moi "moi" <noreply@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:4977a2b1$1_3@xxxxxx Quote: > Hi all, > > I seem to recall reading somewhere that there is a mod you can make to > change the style of the tree view from the Vista little arrow style back > to the XP and earlier "+ / -" with dotted lines indicating the nesting > levels.

| | Re: XP-style folder tree in explorer OK, I found it again... had to go back to the "manual" and carefully read the section. For anyone that cares, you have to go to folder options and uncheck "display simple folder view in navigation pane". Then you get the dotted lines (the next time you close and open the explorer window). I would have liked the indents to be larger, but this is already much better for me... --moi "moi" <noreply@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:497ae14b$1_7@xxxxxx Quote: > Nobody...? > > What I would really like is the kind of tree display that Vista's regedit > has... little arrows AND dotted lines... far easier to read... > > --moi > > "moi" <noreply@xxxxxx> wrote in message > news:4977a2b1$1_3@xxxxxx Quote: >> Hi all, >> >> I seem to recall reading somewhere that there is a mod you can make to >> change the style of the tree view from the Vista little arrow style back >> to the XP and earlier "+ / -" with dotted lines indicating the nesting >> levels.
