Windows Explorer Listing - Win 7

[Twila Zone]

There's one thing I just can't figure out with Win 7 and windows explorer. Pre-Win7, when I looked at my files in windows explorer, in the listing on the left hand side, I could see both folders - any sub-folders -- and any individual files in the main folder. With Win 7, all I see are folders and sub folders. It's very annoying, and I just cannot figure out how to get those individual files to show.

Anyone know?

Which do you mean? I mean, I have win 7 and love it-I have no problems finding things. I've been running it since a beta version of it though.

I just click on the folder, and it shows the sub folders.

Yes, it shows the sub-folders but I have things that aren't in any folder, and that's what will not show up in the list on the left (but used to in old versions). See --- I may have FOLDER and then in that folder 3 different SUB-FOLDERS, but then I'll also have FILE 1, FILE 2, etc. Those are what I want to see.

Weird, ok. When I click on mine, on say documents, I see both folders and any other files that are in the folder. Are you sure that you haven't got them set to hidden? Can you find them any way at all? If so right click, and select properties and make sure the 'hidden' check box is empty.

I can assure you that this isn't a win 7 glitch-something is up with your settings somehow.

Remember, I'm talking about the list on the left side. When I actually go into the main folder on the right side, it's there, but it's not on the left and sometimes when I want to open something, it won't show individual files.

I don't have anything hidden. That's one of the first things I changed when setting up the computer.

Files aren't supposed to show in the bit on the left. They show in the panel on the right. You select the folder in the panel on the left, and pick the file within, on the right.
