Viewing formats of windows

I know how to individually set the format of viewing a window, whether that be in list/thumbnail/icons etc, but I was wondering whether there is a way to do the same thing but as a general setting to the whole computer - so it does not continually have to be re-done? (And if so, how do you do it?)

With thanks

Julie

Hi Julie, Thank you for your post, In answer to your question, try this; Open your My Computer dialog box; select the option Tools and choose Folder Options, This will open the Global Folder options dialog box. Observe the options on page one (General), make any choices if you wish. Select the View tab and make your choices as you require; dont forget to click the Apply to All Folders button at the top of the dialog box, this will apply the view you are using for this dialog box to all folders. I hope that helps. best regards Pete

Microsoft office tip:

Renaming or Deleting Files when Saving or Opening

You can rename and delete files any time you are using a FILE > OPEN or a FILE > SAVE dialog box.
When you see the list of files when browsing in the current folder, you can treat is just like the windows explorer window, by selecting and then editing.

To rename, just give the file a single click to select, then a second to enter the file name. Type the name you want, and press enter.

To delete, a single click and hit the delete key.
