Windows offers a trainload of options that control how folders appear and behave. Some options are trivial, but others have default values that can make Windows harder to use.

1. In Windows Explorer, choose Tools > Folder Options > View tab (Figure 5.23 ).


Figure 5.23. In the Advanced Settings list, you may have to double-click the miniature folder icons to show option groups.

or

Choose Start > Control Panel > Appearance and Themes > Folder Options > View tab.

2. In the Advanced Settings list, select the desired options (Table 5.2 ).

Changes affect all Explorer windows.

Show Pop-Up Description for Folder and Desktop Items

Turn on this option to see pop-up information about almost any icon you point to. Turn it off if the little yellow pop-up boxes bug you.

Use Simple File Sharing

I turn off this option for security purposes. Never mind that Microsoft recommends it be on. See "Sharing Files" in Chapter 17.
