Spatial Orientation of Desktops
John Siracusa has an written an excellent article on what, in his opinion, makes a good desktop shell, concentrating mostly on the Macintosh finder.As an experiment I have set up my Windows XP folder options to to match his recommendations as much as possible.
- In the folder context menu:
- Do view->thumbnails in each folder.
- Turn off the auto-arrange and the align to grid.
- In the folder view→toolbars menu desect all toolbars
- In the Folder Options panel
- General tab: select "Use Windows classic folders"
- General tab: select "Open each folder in its own window"
- View tab: uncheck "Display the full path in the title bar"
- View tab: check "Remember each folder's view setting"
- View tab: check "Restore previous folder windows at logon"
- View tab: click apply to all folders
It's like I have a brand new GUI on my operating system! Let's see how well I like it after using it for a while.
