Mark,

Before you decide the shortcut doesn't work once you've edited the name, try a reboot. (I remember this happening to me on an older system.)

As for your problem with the folders, just a question here to the experts: I assume it's nothing to do with the XP layout here. I know it works in Classic View for me but am not sure if this is the case if you haven't changed various settings in XP.

Hopefully someone else may comment on this one.

David,

I can edit the names, as I said. But the shortcut then will not work with a
shortcut key, which is why I created it in the first place.

Mark,
on the shortcuts, can you use F2 and edit them so that they are named what
you want?

Subject: [access-uk] XP folders and shortcuts

Hi all.

Just moved to XP ona  new Toshiba laptop and have a few
basic problems.

Folder views.  I have gone into control panel after setting
up a folder with
details view and view files by type.  The button to set all
folders as the
present view is disabled.  As I want all my views to be in
this format, is
there a way to get this button enabled?  I have tried
resetting all to
defaults but that just puts it all back to a list view.  The
machine will
not remember the folder settings for the usb flash drive
either.

Shortcuts.  I have sent several shortcuts to the desktop
using the context
key and selecting the send to option.  If I change the anme
of this shortcut
on the desktop it will no longer work on the shortcut key I
have assigned
it.  Returning the shortcut name to its original name then
allows the
shortcut key to operate again.  This is particularly
annoying as all my
shortcuts are now labelled with the words 'shortcut to' in
front of the name
I actualy want for them.  This means I cannot press d for
documents for
instance.  I have to press s over and over as it steps
through selecting the
shortcuts on the desktop.

Any ideas greatly appreciated.
