Configuring Folder Options in Windows XP

Monday, April 13, 2009

User can use folder options to resolve different types of service calls and request from end users. This can be accessed from folder options from the control panel or from the tools menu in Windows Explorer. There are four available tabs in the folder options dialog box.

 

  • General Tab

Use the options on this tab to change how folders look and how will they open when clicked.

We can configure Windows to use Windows classic folders for a pre-Windows XP look and feel, and opening a folder inside another folder can be configured easily to appear in different ways. We can configure folders so that the new folder opens either in the same window or in a different one and can also configure folders to open with a single- or double-click.

 

  • View Tab

Use the options on this tab to apply folder views system-wide (Details, Tiles, Icons, and so on) or to reset the folder views to their default. Configure advanced settings to remember (or not remember) each folder’s view settings, to show (or not show) pop-up descriptions of folder and desktop items, to use (or not use) Simple File Sharing, to automatically search for network folders and printers— and more in Microsoft windows xp.

 

  • File Types Tab

Use the options on this tab to view, add, or reconfigure which types of files open with which particular program. When an end user requests that a specific file open with a specific program, make that change here in Windows xp.

 

  • Offline Files

User can enable and configure offline files here. When offline files are enabled, a user can work on network files even if he or she is not connected to the network.
