When I save a file, I would like to have a panel of my folders - like My Documents, Desktop, and all that, on the left of the dialog box like there used to be in Win XP. Is there a way of doing this in Windows 7
When I open Explorer, Favorites is displayed at the top of the left column, as desired. However, not all of the folders I have designated for Favoriates is displayed in the left column. When I left click on the word "Favorites," then in the right column the entire list of Favorites folders does display. (Meaning:there's a list of nine folders on the right side, but back in the left column under Favorites only seven are displayed.)I've tried all of the solutions described above and none fixes this problem. If I try to drag a folder from Right to Left, two things happen: (A) A copy of that folder is created on the right side (so I'll see the original and a version with "(2)" after the name; and (B) on the left side, one of the folders that used to be in Favorites no longer displays.I don't know why a copy is made on the Right, but the action on the Left leads me to believe that somehow the left column Favorites is set to display no more than seven (7) items, but I can't find where to change that setting
heavy-handed cruising down my Favorites list accidentally drags an innocent Favorites folder inside of the folder above or below where the disappeared folder was. I confidently go to "Organize favorites" and pull up the list of favorites. Problem is: I can't just drop & drag a folder that's stuck inside of another folder. It just gets jerked back inside of the wrong folder. The stuck folder is forever stuck as it seems like all I am allowed to move are folders which are lined up neatly against the left margin of the list, not one that is hiding in the wrong place.
I got the rogue fake virus, the one that looks like MS windows doing scans etc... Anyhow, I got rid of it but my links in the favorites bar have all but disappeared. I can locate the favorites file with a search and all my links are in there but for the life of me I can't remember how to move them back to where they belong, in the favorites menu bar in IE.
A folder named "Favorite Bar" keeps appearing in my Favorite list even though I keep deleting it. Is there some way to remove it from the registry for good?
When I try to add a web page to my favorites in IE8, the browser crashes. I get a popup saying that Internet Explorer has stopped working, and that Windows can check online for a solution to the problem. Clicking on Check online for a solution and close the program just makes the same popup come up again.
Last night, early hours of this morning I undertook the herculean task of tidying up my favorite folder in internet explorer on my XP Home PC, I then exported the lot to a folder on my XP desk top. I then transfered that folder to a back up drive, then transfered it to my new Win 7 desk top on another PC.
So now I have this favorites folder but can't seem to find a way of transferring/exporting it contents into Win 7 favorites, how do I achieve this please?
I want to make triple sure that a certain drive is good.What's the best utility to use to confirm or otherwise...??My baseline assumption is to pull the mftr's own bootable utility disc and use that.
I have lost the icon for my favorite game. I do not have a OS disk. It did not come with the computer. I would like to recover the icon for that program. Where do I look
Im not entirely sure how to say this. Its a tiny issue that I'm not sure if its a feature or a bug my windows has developed. Anytime I add a Favorite in IE9, I notice my desktop refreshes (Assuming this is Explorer refreshing)
I am using IE 9.0.5 on Win 7 x64 Ultimate. In my favorites list many of the links have icons preceding the description that are unique to the site. But may on them have defaulted to the IE icon--a sheet of paper with the "e" on it.
I imported some of these bookmarks/favorites from Firefox but not all of them have defaulted.
Is there a setting in Internet Options that allows these icons to be recognized and displayed in the favorites list?
Recently when opening Favorites to put in a link it stutters and shakes and I cannot access any folders. It goes to Favorites instead of the folder I chose for it to go in.
Periodically I have problems loading the Gmail inbox from an IE8 favorite, if using Gmail "standard view". Gmail "basic HTML" view doesn't have the problem. Likewise Firefox 3.5.5 nor Chrome 3.0.195.33 have the problem in either Gmail standard of basic view. IE8 version: 8.0.7600.16385. Happens with both 32-bit and 64-bit IE8.
Problem only happens if loading from an IE8 favorite, not if manually going to Gmail and logging in.
Typically the problem manifests as an indefinite wait while loading Gmail. However sometimes one of the following two errors happen:
""We're sorry. It seems there is a problem. Please try using Gmail with a supported browser. If you're encountering this error while using a supported browser, we suggest alerting your Internet Service Provider (ISP) that a proxy is failing to accept cookies on HTTP redirects."
OR error loading page (yellow icon on IE8 status bar), where error details are: Read more at the forums...

I have just done a clean install of Win 7 Pro 64. I have set up four accounts and for each one I have moved the user folders to a separate hard drive by using the Right Click Properties > Location > Move. I have done this for the following folders:
- Desktop - Downloads - My Documents - Favorites - Links - My Music - My Pictures - Videos
I have done it exactly the same way on each account (and more than once! I've been imaging the disk and have restored backwards a few times.)
The problem is, on three of the accounts, when I move the My Music, My Pictures, and Videos then they do move correctly but three rogue folders appear named Music, Pictures and Videos. And I can't delete then since they are system folders.
But the weird thing is that this does not happen on one of the accounts!
how to get rid of the extra folders as they're cluttering up the users home folder and causing confusion.
In Windows 7 how can I change "Folders View" for individual folders without changing them system wide. For example if I select "always show icons" all my folders are set this way, and that's fine. But there are a few folders I have containing jpeg images, and I want to view those as "thumbnails" without effecting the others which are set to always show icons.
This was very easy to do in Windows XP but I can't figure out how to do it in Windows 7.
I have problem, recently all new folder are created optimized for video content with big pictures and such. How can I fix that so they are created as normal folders, because this is driving me nuts having to change this for every new folder.
The structure of my photos library is Y/Y_M/Y_M_D, e.g. 2010/2010_04/2010_04_16 for today. I want to change all the '_' to '-'. Does anyone know an easy way of doing this?
I have details on my folders, I can add some columns for certain items. But its only for that folder, isn't there a way to get a folders and subfolders to look the same way?Doing Properties/Customize/also apply to this template to all subfolders - didn't work.
i can't browse my computer when i'm going to save a file either when i'm gonna upload something somewhere.

my guess is have to be something with the libraries but can't figure it out.. i've tried everything that is 'obvious' like dragging folders into the white area etc.
I have always been able to create sub folders by using the menus or by right clicking on the highlighted folder. All of a sudden this capability is gone. Nothing happens when I click on "New Folder" in the top menu. If I highlight the folder and rignt click the only choice given me is to create a "Briefcase."
right click desktop, new, folder. That is the folders I can not delete I made folders to store pictures, junk etc. These folders can not be deleted by windows even in safe mode. I can make another folder and stick it in the folder I am trying to delete.example one folder is titled junk, I can make a folder and stick it inside folder titled junk and delete the folder, but soon as I do a new folder titled junk is back on my desktop. file names can not be changed
