Disabling Folders View..

[Kartal Yüksel]

Hi friends,

I am using WinXP Pro edition. Sometime ago while I was using System
Mechanic, I selected "Use explorer when opening My Computer" and made it
permanent. By this option everytime I click on My Computer or a folder, it
always have Folder view enabled like Windows Explorer. After I realized that
even I selected Control Panel this silly folder view came by default, I
tried to restore my previous settings. But I could not succeed even after I
used System Mechanic itself.

I believe that there is some string in registry related with this setting.
Can anyone help me getting rid of this setting? Any information will be
appreciated.

Thanks.

Control Panel - System - Advanced - in Performance click Settings -
In the Custom panel of Visual effects, uncheck 'Use Common tasks in
folders'.

Note that this will remove the side panel everywhere - including in a My
Computer view of a folder, where previews of files may be shown
