Computer Usage Columns - Tip Off Changing defaults
I have the following problems for which I would welcome your help:
Even after I changed it to detail view, the problem persists. Please let me know how I can set the detail view as the default view.
Md Anwar
\Player\RecentURLList and Hkey_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\ MediaPlayer\Player\FileList. Once you are here, you will have a list of the recent files accessed through media player. Please delete whatever entries you don't want and close regedit.
In the dialog box that opens, please select the view tab and then click on the `Like current tab' button. This will become the default view of all the folders.
The utility can be used to modify most of your system resources, including changing icons, dialog box settings, bitmaps, menus and, of course, the start button also. It works across all windows platforms. You will have a zip file to download; please download the file and extract the contents to a folder. Run the Reshacker.exe. Go to file menu. Click on open and open your explorer.exe, which you will find usually in c:\winnt or c:\windows. To change the "start" menu, please double click the `String Table' node on the left panel and select sub-folder 38, then 1033, then edit string 595 in quotes to whatever you like. In XP skinned mode, please select the sub-folder 37, then 1033, then edit string 578. Click on "Compile Script", then select the file menu and click on `Save As' and save the file as explorer.new. It is a good idea to take a back-up of the explorer.exe as explorer.bak before doing the save. Now please delete the original explorer.exe and rename the explorer.new file you created to explorer.exe. In Win9X, you can restart the system in Dos mode and do the renaming, in case of Win 2000 and WinXP. If you have a dual boot system, you can do it from the other OS if it supports the same file system.
