"Open each folder in the same window" not working

hey guys, just today, I noticed that whenever i double click a folder, it opens in a new window.  I went to folder properties, and made sure I checked "Open each folder in the same window," and its checked.  I tried switching it on, then off, then restoring all defaults in both those settings and the view settings, and I've tried restarting the computer, even using a system restore point.  No Matter what, whenever I double click a window, it opens in a new window, but if I use the navigation pane, or if I highlight a window and click the open button at the top left, it opens in the same window.  This is very very very annoying, because just navigating my harddrive, I might end up with 20 windows open to reach just 1 file.
Does anyone know what's wrong?  or how I can fix this? 

I was experiencing this same issue on my laptop and spent several frustrating hours of searching in vain for a solution. I tried most of the same fixes mentioned here with no success (re-registering DLL's, running the system file checker [sfc /scannow],
turning off the navigation pane, performing virus scans, etc). After almost giving up, I discovered that I only experienced this behavior when I accessed Explorer from the shortcut which was pinned to my taskbar. When I opened the "Computer" shortcut
on my desktop, I was able to open individual folders without having new windows open each time. I suspect that this is related to the new design/function of the taskbar in Windows 7. To get the results I wanted, I opted to revert to the "classic" style
taskbar seen in Windows Vista (AKA the "Quicklaunch" toolbar) by following the instructions here:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-7/add-the-quick-launch-bar-to-the-taskbar-in-windows-7/
Then, I simply added a new shortcut to "Computer" in the new Quicklaunch toolbar and, "Voila!" - problem solved. Oddly enough, I don't experience the same behavior on my desktop PC which is also running Windows 7. Ain't Microshaft grand?!? (a-hem)

  • IT WILL NOT LET ME OPEN UP 2 OF THE SAME WINDOW

    WHEN I TYPE A LETTER IN TO THE URL LIKE “M” FOR EXAMPLE TO GO TO THE FIRST CHOOSE WHICH IS http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/ AND THEN I OPENED A NEW TAB AND PUSH “M” AGAIN TO OPEN http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/ AGAIN I CANNOT DO IT, IT WILL NOT LET ME OPEN UP 2 OF THE SAME WINDOW

    If you want to load a second copy of ''the page you are viewing'' in a new tab, you can press Alt+Enter in the address bar.
    If you want to load a second copy of ''some other page'' that is open, as you noticed, instead of showing the URL, the awesomebar drop-down shows "Switch to Tab." Not everyone likes this feature, so someone created an add-on to turn it off.

  • Open all documents in the same window ?

    How in Reader 9 can I configure it to open all documents in the same window instead of as individual windows?
    Thanks

    Bug report sent to Adobe:
    ******BUG******
    Concise problem statement:
    MDI removed from Reader 9
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. Open more than one document.
    2. Look at taskbar overflowing.
    3.
    Results: Customer is pissed off.
    Expected results: Happy customer.
    Steps to make customer happy: Get your heads out of your ***, and make MDI not just an option, but the DEFAULT. Who the hell thought going back to Windows 3.0 SDI interface technology was a good idea? Please post his/her name, and whoever approved that decision's name publically, because a) they will (or should) be looking for a new job since they just got fired, and b) I don't want to make the mistake of hiring them. I mean seriously. I thought what I was reading on the web was a hoax. I had to check snopes.com to be sure. Do you guys not have a random drug testing policy? For that matter, do you not realize that when a person, that you're trusting to make important decisions that affect millions of people, is sitting at their desk drooling on themselves and can't get out more than a single syllable word, that maybe, just maybe, they're not the person you should have in that position? Is this a product line wide decision? Should I look at scrapping all of my other Adobe / Macromedia products and upgrading to those that support 15 year old technology? Are you going to turn into another Symantec? Hey, lets buy take over great companies with great products, turn the product lines into crap, and then discontinue and abandon them. Seriously, what should we expect for Reader 10.0? Are you going to be upgrading to a console application? Please, please, please for 11.0 can we have it be phosphorous green too? I think Im going to go back to my bottle of wine now

  • How to open KM file in the same window

    When we open KM file by /irj/go/km/docs/... link it is previewed in a new Internet Explorer window.
    We changed Targed property to Self for iView navigation in LayoutSet render but the image file is still opend in new Window.
    How to workaround this?

    We changed Target Window Type property value of ResourceRenderer of Navigation iView  to Self.
    When an authenticated user  tries to open KM file it is opened in the same window if file URL include /irj/servlet/prt/prtroot....
    If file URL contain /irj/go/km/docs/.. it is opened in new window.
    When an anonymous user  tries to open KM file it is opened in a new (popup) window.
    We need that anonymous user can open km files in the same window.
    How to work around this?
    We use light framework.

    Or do you have wifi backup enabled in iTunes?
    Plug it in while on wifi and it will automatically back up.

  • Can I set Firefox to open a page link in the same window (not a new tab) so I can just go back to the page instead of having to close the window?

    When I am on some pages, clicking on a article/picture link opens a new tab instead of continuing in the same window. By staying in the same window, I can back click on my mouse and continue on with other reading/links on the original page without manually having to move the mouse and click to close the tab. For example: on news pages, if I click on a financial article, a new tab opens with that linked article on the website's financial site. If I keep going back to the original page w/o closing tabs, I end up with too many tabs open.

    yeah, instead of using multiple windows, you can use multiple tabs inside one window. That way, you can browse multiple websites at once without having to flick back and forth between multiple windows.
    To open tabs of the websites you want to browse, just right-hand click on whatever website you want to visit (For example a site from your bookmarks or a site from a Google search result) and select 'open link in tab'.

  • How can I make "Open Link in New Tab" open the new tab in the same window, not a different window?

    When I Ctrl-click a link and choose "Open Link in New Tab" it chooses to open the new tab in a different window (one that's already open) rather than opening the new tab in the same window. Even though the other window is minimized, it automatically gets restored and placed on top of the window I was in. This interferes with my context, forcing me to minimize the window again to get back to the one I was in before. I want the new tab to open in the same window, so I can still see the tab I was in. Some links seem to have the "Open Link in New Tab" behavior automatically, so I never know when I'm going to get thrown out of my current window. Very annoying.

    If you have a mouse with a scroll button then try to middle click the link to open the link in a new tab.
    It is also possible that the links use onclick JavaScript instead of a href to specify the action.

  • Can't open a tab in the same window

    Hello, tell me, please, why can't I open a new tab in the same window. maybe I did something wrong done in the settings?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    *Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Open a URL in the same window

    Hi,
    My objective is to open a URL when i click on a webdynpro iView in the same window.
    I created a outbound plug in the InterfaceViewController.
    And wrote this piece of code in wdDoBeforeNavigation() in Component controller.
    wdThis.wdGetExternalComponentInterfaceViewController().wdFirePlugGoToUrl(Url);
    Where "Url" is a string variable contaning the value.
    But when i run this piece of sode it gives exception
    "Exit-Plug must no be triggered with an URL when running in portal. Use portal navigation instead to navigate to another application!"
    So what should i do solve this problem
    Regards,
    Paresh

    HI,
    Procudere to create the LogoffURL
    In the Application properties add your URL name.
    LogoffURL = http:
    www.google.com
    1.      Define an exit plug in the interface view of your Web Dynpro component:
                                a.      Enter a name and check the checkbox Exit Plug.
                                b.      Enter the name Url for the parameter and select string as the type.
    This parameter is case-sensitive and must be entered exactly this way.
           2.      In your view, define the action Exit and add the event handler onActionExit().
           3.      In the view layout, define a button and bind its onAction event to the Exit action.
           4.      In your view, define the use of the interface view controller of your Web Dynpro component under Properties.
           5.      Insert the following code in this method of the implementation:
    String logoffURL = wdComponentAPI.getApplication().getApplicationInfo().findInApplicationProperties("sap.logoffURL").getValue();
    wdThis.wdGetTimeCompInterfaceViewController().wdFirePlugExit(logoffURL);
    OR Do u need to generate the URL by using the application?
    Thanks,
    Lohi.
