| | How do I customize the view of my C drive? All of a sudden the view of the C drive in Explorer is assuming all the sub-folders are photos. If it were any other folder, I could right click on the folder and select properties/customize/all items. When one right clicks on the C: drive folder this option is not offered. How do I change it back to the default view and why did it decide to switch to photo view? thanks |

How do I make Vista display my C: drive as a series of folders and files? Not a bunch of photos? It really is a computer with files on it not a camera! help........................pleass..... |

It still treats the whole C drive and its sub folders as photo images. So it lists each folder, but the column headers for the entire c drive are: Name, Date Taken, Tags Size and Rating. I want the folders, date and size like in the old explorer thanks |
