Thank you very much! Tried to find this info on Microsof’t support site with no luck at all.

Thanks!

Not only did I finally get to learn where this option was hiding, but I learned that cool search shortcut in the Control Panel. (It doesn’t work in Classic View, but I can use the navigation pane to switch to “Control Panel Home” temporarily, search, and find what I was looking for.)

Same as the others: Thanks. This just makes me ask why MS moved it from where it was in XP. Sure, you could argue that it “belongs” or “could belong” in its new Ease of Access home, but you could have ALSO left it in the old place, too. So people using XP for the last seven years could find the stupid thing….

Unlike the older explorers (in XP and 2000), the Vista Windows Explorer apparently does not automatically display in the right panel the content of a folder selected in the left panel folder navigation tree using the keyboard arrow keys. The selected folder content is displayed only when either the folder is clicked with the left mouse button, or the Enter key is hit after selecting the folder using the keyboard arrow keys. I found the older explorer behavior much more convenient when the content of the currently selected folder in the left panel was instantly displayed in the right panel. Is there a way to switch the behavior of the new explorer to mimic the old explorer?
