I'm having two unrelated problems with Windows Explorer that ought to be
solvable.
First, for the file "Loceal Settings", the checkbox for "Hidden" refuses to
stay unchecked beyond more than the current session. Once the system is
rebooted, the option is automatically rechecked, even though I'm the
administrator this is the profile I use every day. This is true for my
desktop only my W2K laptop doesn't have this problem.
Also, in the right hand pane of Windows Explorer the column heading widths
can be set by right-clicking the heading, selecting "More", and then
specifying in the width. The default folder/file column width is way too
short, at least for me, so I've done just that for about five folders. That
leaves many hundreds more to do. I've tried some stupid activities on a
computer, this would be in the running for the stupidest. How can I change
the column width as a system default setting? A registry hack is quite
acceptable, but shame on Microsoft if I have to resort to that for soemthing
so basic.
TIA
