Working with Folder Views

You have a number of options to choose how to display folders and files using Windows Explorer.
This screenshot shows how folders are displayed when display option is Icons

This screenshot shows the options under the View tab
It also shows ho to change to Details view mode

Most of the screenshots in this Guide will be in Details mode

The setting you select under View will apply to the current folder only.

To follow this Guide, you can change another setting so that all folders have the same View setting
Two screenshots follow to show how to do that.
Screenshot WWF-024 - Choosing Folder Options from the Tools tab on the menu

Screenshot WWF-026 - Apply to all folders
This step applies the settings made above to all folders
Note that we made two other settings in this screen:

  1. Turn Show hidden files and folders ON
    The core data folder for all our software is located in a folder under your User Profile.
    To navigate to the core data folder, you must open the Local Settings folder, under your user profile. Local Settings is is a hidden folder.
    This setting (when saved) will allow you to open it and naviget down the sub-folders to the Core Data folder.
    This will be explained later in this User Guide
     
  2. Uncheck Hide extensions for known file types
    This setting will remove ambiguity and allow you to make sensible decisions when you are working with files.
