Please not listen to those that don't like it some of us like these little gems

it brings back some usability to some of us that, well we like.. it make 7 my 7 not MS's 7

Thank you for sharing this with us

I was just being ornery...I know everybody uses their PC's different...I'm teasing them because you could give away free icecream and someone would claim bought iceceam was better. Its the way of the net.

Win7 leaves just enough space for me to right-click in an empty area so I dont have a problem with that...

I'm not on XP right now but I never noticed that much empty space before...actually that much space would bother me...heheh,see...we are all different.

Bet there is a reg setting for that tho. MS buries lots of layout and window metric settings in the registry.

Dont mistake me for an expert...I just play one on the internet...actually I just get a bug up my ass about certain things.

For the other one I would google autoarrange settings in Win7 or something like that.

wow hoo I found a reg. file that works.. and it work for both

How to Disable Full Row Select in Explorer in Windows 7?

http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/disable-full-row-select-explorer-windows-7/#comments

it's called

w7-fullrowsel

now I can move the folder, file in Explorer anywhere I want it  and it have the free space to the right win win

of course I really don't under stand what the Disable Full Row Select is but what I wanted IS A SIDE effect of that

thanks IR for pointing in the right direction 

Thats some good detective work there DC...feels good to take back another piece of control from MS.

Did they really think nobody would ever want to turn off autoarrange?...or notice it was missing?(not including me of course since I usually had it on...I only sort 1 of 3 ways...name,group by type,or modified)

The good thing about MS tho is you can bet they never bother to actually clean the code up and really remove something...they just code over it to hide it.Leaving it to the determined user to discover where.

7,while in listview,selects the whole row of details...rather than just the title/name.Pretty obscure issue but it mattered to somebody.

Something they did to the registry also turned back on several folder options...that MS decided nobody needed.

Heres is another interesting trick...you can reg hack the command bar to autohide. I dont hate the commandbar,but it is about half useless and completely unconfigurable...I would LOVE the damn thing if I could set my own commands for it.

And I AM still looking.

I didnt try the autohide trick yet because unless its key triggered(like the toolbar is with the alt key) then you would be running into it everytime you tried to get past it to anything above it.

The fix I'm looking for most right now is getting the links toolbar back on the toolbar with file edit view,and the classic shell toolbar I showed in the first post.

as long as it is open...the extra room might as well be doing something.

You can add "Move Folder To" to your context menu with: 

It will also remove shortcut overlays and much more.

Thanks to SPerry5531 for posting the link.

I hope this is what you meant,I never used XP. I thought that was the abbreviation for "obsolete".

I dont think thats the kind of move he meant but tweaks is tweaks.

I've used that tweak before,adding move and copy to into my right-click menus...but me and some others had some problem with it...slowed system or something I cant remember.

I ended up just putting those buttons on the toolbar.(plus in XP there are in the taskpane already)

Not saying dont try it,but be warned it might...cause an issue...that I cant remember...haha.

Dont let me stop you from posting more tricks Wizard...or would they be SPELLS?

Lucky for me  I have a SPELL checker.

Dunno if that was the "move" he meant, but here is one that I promise won't slow your system down or cause any problems. It too, like Wiz's suggestion, adds send to-to your context menu, but this one is programmable and you can add fixed destinations, you can copy to, or move to, and there are other tweaks, all relating to moving or copying files and folders. The other program has various unreated tweaks, and the version I used worked some, then didn't. And some of the tweaks didn't work at all. Like the one that allows 32 bit OS to use 4GB of ram...yeah, right...lol.

Anyway, I have used this on xp, vista and 7, and have used it for years with no ill effects.

It is called.....wait for it......

Send to 1.6. And it is the handiest free program I have ever used.  It's like the default send to command on steroids!

Note: all Links I give will open in a new window  for me a new tab you too if you have it the same way..

I like the move to / Copy to reg hack I had in XP so I tried it when I got Vista and then 7 and it works

here it is if anyone is entreated in it.

Note just open a text doc like note pad and copy all from bold to bold then save it as a .reg
