How to view classic folder display/icons in Windows 7?
location: 7forums.com - date: August 31, 2010
I recently installed Windows 7, and I wanted to see about changing the folder view--not the folder tree, but the way the actual folders appear, specifically for folders containing photos. I have a lot of photos in different folders, and my old computer displayed each folder as a flat, square folder with 4 little preview images of what is in the folder.

I looked in the folder options in the control panel but don't see anything for a classic view. Can someone help me wit

How to open Web Folder in Windows 7?
location: microsoft.com - date: August 16, 2010
Original Title: Opening websites with Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) Allow me to illustrate why I want to open a website with Windows Explorer and not Internet Explorer. My office uses a network scanner that stores generated scans to a website address. We could get to the folder by typing in something likehttp://123.456.1.789/file_share in Windows Explorer. But now that everyone in my office switched to Windows 7, no one can access the files because attempting to open a website address automatically launches Internet Explorer, which is without the files list, and has fancy interface and customization and blocks any access to the files! My question is simple. How can I open a website address in Windows Explore
