How do I get rid of the navigation pain [sic] on some folders and leave it on others?

I have been using some folders as menus and others for general data access. This inability to pin characteristics to a folder is driving me nuts. The “customize” option does nothing to control the layout.

Further, the size and position of a folder display is no longer preserved.

This is a BIG step backward – I may as well be using DOS 6.22 again.

What am I missing?

I would like to set different folders settings for many diff folders. Can all the above but this changes all folders i open from that point on-wards. Are the settings directly linked to each folder type?

Man, that’s annoying. Going through the user path just to customize a folder (especially if a person has many to do, or does it frequently) is time consuming, annoying, and inefficient. Why “fix” something that wasn’t broken? The right click option for this needs to be returned. Wake up MS – who’s bright idea was this? Kinda like my W7 phone, cannot email video, or customize my ringtone? Stupid…. maybe I really should be going over to MAC…
