The mega-thread, as Crabby named it, is too crowded, so I'll post new tips here instead if that's alright with you all.

I received this tip from Microsoft newsletter titled Exploring Windows

Remember a folder view

You've found the perfect folder view. Now apply that view to all your folders using the following steps:

1. In Windows Explorer, open the folder with the view that you want to apply and click the Tools menu, then Folder Options.
2. Click the View tab and then click the Apply to All Folders button. Click OK.
3. You'll be asked to confirm your request. Click Yes, then click OK.

Now all the folders on your PC have the same view.

I added this to the tip: To get the Tools menu, press the Alt key on your keyboard. To change the folder’s view, use the down arrow next to Views and use the slider to make changes. Happy computing!

What a stroke of luck, only this morning i was thinking about doing that, but i couldn't remember what to do.

the reason i wanna do this is so i can set all my folders to appear as one size or view, i hope this tip changes the size as well as the other appearance attributes

[felix8406]

Anthony, concerning the folders view tip, it will not change the size and appearance attributes of your folders...you do that by using the slider. However, it will save and apply any changes you make to all folders.

Here's a quick IE7 tip: If you miss the standard toolbar on Internet Explorer 7 (classic view), simply right-click anywhere on the toolbar and click the Menu Bar.

You can make IE7 toolbar less or more crowded by deleting or adding commands. Here’s how: Right-click the toolbar, select Customize Command and go to Add or Remove Commands option. Now just add or remove any option(s) you want.

Want to quickly increase or decrease the text size in IE7?

Hold down the CTRL button on your keyboard and use the scroll wheel on your mouse; forward to increase or backward to decrease text size.

or; .

Hold down the CTRL button on your keyboard and press the minus (-) or add (+) buttons; minus button to reduce and add button to increase text size.

I was thinking you know the PDF of Mega thread one could that be updated to inclued all of thread one. IE: the things added after the PDF?

[felix8406]

I agree. I don't think I want to place any more tips in that thread anymore beacuse it is so huge. So I can follow your suggestion and include all those tips in the PDF file. If anyone agrees with Josh, let us know. It won't be done overnight, but it'll get done.

Don't Worrie Just Do It When You Can, (also is it possible for you to "close" thread one just so other people don't repost there?)

My tendency would be to leave the thread open so that anyone having a question or a comment about a tip would have the opportunity to ask, etc. But, of course, you could still do a PDF and, as you have done, start a new tips thread (and another and another ).

You are right Znod, leave it open for others post.
