I want to get rid of the "Classic View" look and change to category view.
When I go to folder options to change it, the radio button is set on Use
Windows Classic folders and CANNOT be unchecked. Show common tasks in
folders is grayed out and CANNOT be checked. I am going crazy trying to get
this changed. Also, I was reading about "filmstrip display option" and I
can't get that to show up anywhere. Thanks, Jeannine

Hi Jeannine,

See if the information presented here helps you to resolve the problem:

"Single-click to open an item" in the Folder Options is grayed out
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/singleclickfolder.htm
(although not mentioned in the title, the issue of Show Common Tasks in
Folders being greyed out is noted)



Regards,
