Problem with 'folder style' formatting

Vista Ultimate 64 bit


When I open Windows Explorer I get a double pane window with a list of
folders in both the left and
right pane. I want to keep the view very simple, and eliminate the left pane
entirely, and I don't see a way to do this? Help appreciated - IM

Try clicking on the Organize Menu Option from within Windows Explorer /
Layout / Navigation pane. This should hide the panel.

Regards

Hi, Imageman.

I'm not sure you really want to do that. But, if you do, it's pretty easy.
In the Windows Explorer window:

Click Organize | Layout...

There you can toggle the Navigation Pane (on the left), plus the Details
Pane and the Preview Pane, as well as the Menu Bar.

This is one of several ways that you can customize Windows Explorer to fit
YOU. ;<)
