    • @ Al Taylor….
      I tried “ShellFolderFix” 64bit and it worked a treat, many thanks 🙂 Life is worth living again. But I have to ask myself … why in hells name can’t MS send out a fix, if you work with many files open on two or three screens it’s time consuming to say the least

      Great big thanks again……………………Regard Gray

    • My experience is a bit different, used Windows 3.1 back in 1992 but skipped over Windows ME.

      A problem with Vista is with computer too new and will not have suitable drivers.

      Yes that’s the only thing holding me back from going back to Vista…will my new computer work with Vista, looks like I will just have to hope that MS get their finger out and do a little more for the Desktop customers ?

    • Have you tried using the Tools, Folder Options in File Explorer [Windows Explorer in earlier versions of Windows]? First set a Folder as you desire, do the preceeding and then click the View tab and click the button labeled Apply to Folders.

      Also, it may help the window size by holding down the Ctrl key while closing. Have seen it take a couple of times to ‘train’ Windows.

      Hi Berton
      Yes I have tried these idea’s! Now and before in Vista 64 and they sometimes worked, but no joy in Win 8.1 it’s a pity that Mats_Run.winfilefolder.exe will not install into this version of windows. I have used windows going back to win3.1 and every version since then (except win 7) .I have never had so many problems to overcome since the early days of computers, It’s making me think seriously of buying Windows Vista Ultimate edition !!!! :huh:
