| | why windows explorer folder pane cant synchronize with detial pane When i highlight a folder in folder pane with keyboard up or down arrow, the details pane does not change accordingly! Even press F5 also cant refresh it, need to press enter. This is not the case in XP. Bad design of vista explorer. |

| | Re: why windows explorer folder pane cant synchronize with detial pane i know, either press enter or space bar. But why hav to do it this way? why not make it automatically? And the more i use vista, the more i feel dissappointed. Why the disk defragmenter interface is so simple? I can never see how many percentage of disk is fragmented, do i need to perform defragmentation, and the current status of defragmentation. I can only wait......till it finish without knowing what happen. Is this true?

| | Re: why windows explorer folder pane cant synchronize with detial pane All I can say is some like Vista - some do not. I have no problem with it and fall into the first group. You are obviously in the 2nd group and have every right to be there if you so desire. My gosh. It is so easy to learn new things. Do you grouse and moan when you have to learn a new phone number because a close relative has moved? When I cease to learn I will be planted beneath the ground.

| | Re: why windows explorer folder pane cant synchronize with detial pane What a funny example you gave! It is NOT NEW things, but it is REDUNDANT thing. What for creating a new OS that is more troublesome than the old one?? What is the point of learning the so-called new thing that just trouble you but without any added value? Are you improving or just like to change for the sake of change?? What for to expect for the different which has no advantage but more troublesome? If you like to make more step for no reason but just to change, ofcos, you may.

Closed relative moved house maybe like to make a change in life, but vista new explorer cant make the folder pane and detail pane syncrohised is for what reason? Lets guess: More beuty in look? More "special"? Or to sacrifice for other functionality? I use folder pane often. Vista folder pane is suck! What for highlight a folder in folder pane but in detail pane shows the files in other folder pane? It is a bug! Not a change! |

| | Re: why windows explorer folder pane cant synchronize with detial pane It is no different that running a program from a desktop. You double click. The first click selects the icon and highlights it. The second click opens the program for running. Or, you select and press the enter key. Either way it is two motions. Scroll down to the folder you want to "select". Press the space bar (only three inches away from most scroll keys) to open the folder to work with the files. If the folder opened automatically, as you desire, every folder would open as you scroll down the list. If your picture folder happened to be one of them it could take a bit of time to render the thumbnails. Would this make the system hiccup? I don't know. But why have folders open that you are not interested in at that particular moment? It is perfectly logical the way it is now done - to me! -- Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience "Alan316" <alan_31652@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:CD7F9568-CF31-4F13-B0A8-4F138286BE3F@xxxxxx Quote: > What a funny example you gave! > > It is NOT NEW things, but it is REDUNDANT thing. > What for creating a new OS that is more troublesome than the old one?? > What is the point of learning the so-called new thing that just trouble > you but without any added value? > Are you improving or just like to change for the sake of change?? > What for to expect for the different which has no advantage but more > troublesome? > > If you like to make more step for no reason but just to change, ofcos, you > may. > > > "Richard Urban" <richardurbanREMOVETHIS@xxxxxx> wrote in message > news:OaqfGavJJHA.468@xxxxxx Quote: >> All I can say is some like Vista - some do not.
