The Windows 8.1 design of the view and install updates area ranks with one of the worst designs in MicroSoft's long history. BTW, what I like best about the CS is the Windows Update area. Can this be fixed so it works like Windows 7 Explorer and lets the Preview Pane be shrunk down to nothing? I can choose the Navigation Panel style, but not Preview Pane sizing. I was hoping that the Classic Shell would address this deficiency, but so far it hasn't (as far as I can tell). I can hide the pane entirely, but when not hidden, its minimum size is 2" on my 15.6" laptop screen. In Windows 8.1, the minimum size of my preview area is 2" across, and I cannot shrink it further. When in Windows 7 Explorer, I am able to see a preview of a file in the Preview Pane and adjust the size of that preview to be vanishingly small. This setting allows an administrator to revert specific Windows Shell behavior to classic Shell behavior.If you enable this setting users cannot configure. I just got a Windows 8.1 system a couple of weeks ago and was surprised to see that the Preview Pane could not be minimized.
Is this a running program that can also be disabled?įinally, on a different matter, I have a question that probably belongs under"future enhancements". But when I went into File Explorer, CLassic Shell File Explorer was still on the Explorer Bar, allowing me to change the Navigation Pane to various styles. If both policies are enabled, Active Desktop is disabled.Īlso, see the "Disable Active Desktop" setting in User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Desktop\Active Desktop and the "Do not allow Folder Options to be opened from the Options button on the View tab of the ribbon" setting in User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\File Explorer.I did what you said to do and was able to disable the CS Start Button. This setting will also take precedence over the "Enable Active Desktop" setting. Note: In operating systems earlier than Windows Vista, enabling this policy will also disable the Active Desktop and Web view. If you disable or not configure this policy, the default File Explorer behavior is applied to the user. As a result, the user interface looks and operates like the interface for Windows NT 4.0, and users cannot restore the new features.Įnabling this policy will also turn off the preview pane and set the folder options for File Explorer to Use classic folders view and disable the users ability to change these options. If you enable this setting, users cannot configure their system to open items by single-clicking (such as in Mouse in Control Panel). To prevent it from starting automatically with Windows, open Settings and in the search box of the settings window, type: start auto and uncheck the option 'Start automatically for this user'. This setting allows an administrator to revert specific Windows Shell behavior to classic Shell behavior. How do you temporarily disable classic shell To exit the Start Menu, right click the Start button and choose Exit.
