Re: Folder Options Problem, etherything comes u in a new window
Are you talking about the picture of the Camcorder?
I will try and see how to remove it.

Re: Folder Options Problem, etherything comes u in a new window
In windows explorer: tools - folder options - general tab - change the browse folders option to open each folder in same window instead of open each folder in new window

Re: Folder Options Problem, etherything comes u in a new window
sorry - don't know then. My drive only shows 'find' in the advanced window but the other settings look the same.
Hope someone else can help...

Re: Folder Options Problem, etherything comes u in a new window
Callumpy - it would seem others (google search) have your problem but it's fixable
Haven't needed to try this myself but 2 good sites offer advice. Let us know how you get on.
