Managing Files, Folders, and Search Methods

All the options for customizing folder views and preferences are found in Folder Options on the Tools menu. Folder Options has four tabs: General, View, File Types, and Offline Files.

You use the General tab to configure Active Desktop and Web view. You can also configure whether new windows open as you browse folders and whether you single-click or double-click to select items.

The View tab is the primary location for setting folder options. The options that are available on the View tab of the Folder Options dialog box are shown in Figure 9.3.
