Classic Shell: Forum

Hello,

I remove Favorites, Libraries, Network from Windows Explorer Navigation Pane (Win7 x64).

That seems to affect scrolling in Classic Explorer. When scrolling down / up many folders (system32, program files, etc.) in the Windows Explorer Navigation Tree - the folders overlap. Scrolling works just fine if I don't remove Favorites, Libraries, Network from the Navigation Pane.

Is it possible to make Classic Shell's Classic Explorer compatible with these Navigation Panel tweaks?

Thank you very much!

If you remove/hide Explorer navigation pane items, this is a bug/behavior that is to be expected. It's a bug in Windows that Classic Shell can do nothing about unfortunately.

Well that's... very unfortunate.

I'm not sure what's worse - overlapping folders or the hideous Favorites, Libraries and Network taking the most valuable space.

Can we move Favorites, Libraries and Network to the very bottom of the Navigation Tree?
Or at least behind the Hard Disk Drives? Wouldn't that fix the scrolling / overlapping issue?
Is it possible to implement this feature in the upcoming versions of Classic Shell's Classic Explorer?

Thank you very much!

Hey,

May I make a suggestion?

I run Win7, and I don't have those damned Libraries, but I have a hierarchical Start Menu (so no scrolling). You have switched to a Start Menu that's as capable as the XP Start Menu, so why don't you put application launchers into categories and implement the start menu items as submenus?

I have some oriented as projects, some are oriented functionally (such as editors all together), some are reference submenus (HTML refs & CSS refs & JS refs etc) together in a reference 'library' -- but my kind of library, and so on, and so on.

Isn't your scrolling defeating the whole idea of a Classic Start Menu?

...Just my thoughts. Your mileage may be different.

Ciao - Mark.

The original poster 'w7pro' is talking about Windows Explorer and not about the Start Menu.
