[Classic View In Control Panel In Windows 7

[Iberio Ralda]

<div>I have two Windows 7 machines. One is a netbook running Starter; it behaves just like Kaos says. The other is an XP machine I just upgraded to Ultimate; it behaves exactly as described in this article.</div><div></div><div></div><div> Kaos,</div><div></div><div>While this is normally true, some users (myself included) have been encountering inconsistency with Windows 7 remembering which view you last set your Window to. This group policy fix ensures that the icon list view will be restored upon re-opening the Control Panel.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Classic View In Control Panel In Windows 7</div><div></div><div>Download File: https://t.co/ObVmyQhYXs </div><div></div><div></div><div>I ended up having to follow Option Three: Sub Option Two and manually edited the registry adding in a new D-word. Always remember to tred carefully in the registry. And remember to close the registry when you are done and do a restart otherwise the effect will not take place.</div><div></div><div>Good Luck!</div><div></div><div></div><div>Has M$ lost the plot with 7? I jumped straigh from XP to windows 7 and skipped right over vista since i hated it. Nothing that you learned before works without jumping through hoop after hoop. Interface is not intuitive at all.</div><div></div><div></div><div>They said it was going to be easier to use. The thing is a pain in the rear and i am already having doubts as to why i even left a working XP for this thing. NO outlook. Everything is setup wrong. Cant find anything.LIVE Mail dont work since i cant even sign into messenger. Cant sign into the forums to ask for help on live mail help problems since i cant sign into LIVE products.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Why did they change so much that no knowledge of a previous system is applicable anymore? I spent ten years on XP and cant use any of that information on 7 since nothing is the same. Icons are weird and replaced with text entries that take 10 times as long to process.</div><div></div><div></div><div>How ever pure by chance this afternoon found how to get run in, well hope its there, and its from control panel, start and somewhere in there it produces a wind,ow with settings and run was not ticked in mine</div><div></div><div></div><div>Thanks bro. I Appreciate that. I know with Vista it was an option to switch it back. The first time I went into 7, I did not see that option and I about rioted. I have been putting up with that for a while, and finally thought to google how to just switch it back.</div><div></div><div></div><div>I have Windows 7 Pro and when I change th policy as described, it does change from category but to large icons, so although it shows all the icons in this format, I still have to manually change it from Large Icons to Small Icons. Any way to force this as well.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Have you ever wondered where the Display Settings icon or Network Connections folder went in the Control Panel's Classic View? For that matter, why can't you search for them using the start menu search? Because they are prohibited from loading in the registry - that's why. Look ma, no display settings! To resolve this deliberate oversight, open up regedit.exe using the start menu search box, and then browse down to the following registry key:</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>desk.cpl is the Display Settings wizard, and ncpa.cpl is the network connections folder. I'm going to delete those two, and now if you hit refresh on your control panel (or re-open it) you'll see the items restored in your Control Panel:</div><div></div><div></div><div>Lowell Heddings is the founder of How-To Geek.

As seen in the Windows 10 screenshot above, simply right-click on the Start button and choose Control panel to open it.</div><div></div><div></div><div>When you choose Show profiles, you'll see the following dialog. From here you can add, edit or delete profiles (1). If you use multiple profiles you can configure Outlook to let you choose which profile you want loaded (2).</div><div></div><div></div><div>If you suspect your profile is corrupt or damaged or are told to make a new profile to see if your problems is fixed, do not Copy a profile. This will copy the problems to the new profile. Use Add and create a brand new profile. If you just need to make a second copy of a profile for some other reason, you can use Copy.</div><div></div><div></div><div>In Vista, you can either search for Mail on the Start menu, as you can in Windows 7, or open the Control Panel and use the Search box, look under the User Accounts category or switch to the Classic view.</div><div></div><div></div><div>A Microsoft Outlook Most Valuable Professional (MVP) since 1999, Diane is the author of several books, including Outlook 2013 Absolute Beginners Book.

Using "classic view" is useless, as is searching for it because it's not there. I need to know how to put it back where it should be. All the updates are done. I cannot find any help about this anywhere. I need to do a few things and all the advice says to use a Mail app in control panel that is not there. I would assume because it's office 365 on Windows 11.</div><div></div><div>Thanks Microsoft.</div><div></div><div></div><div>>></div><div></div><div>I see no way to have all gmail account to be merged into a single account.</div><div></div><div>Also, when a send an email, from outlook, the send email ends up in google gmail sent location and not in outlook sent folder.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>I have an odd problem: the icon mail (32) is there but it only show the busy icon and then nothing happen. so in order to make a new profile I had to start outlook from Run with /safe. I had removed the old profiles in Reg. but stil no luck to open the outlook control panel. any idea to fix the issue?</div><div></div><div></div><div>A week into clean re-install and regret not opting to enter my user name when opted to in start menu, as just now find I'm unable to right-click on my start menu's user photo (nothing happens whatsoever). Pretty sure that's not right.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Hopefully the fix's less than something like repairing from the CD-DVD ROM, unless that could be done w-o losing programs and updates, especially SP-1, which given the outdated IE9 browser, took me weeks of refusing offers of upgrading to W10, before it would download,</div><div></div><div></div><div>Now I am conffused. Have mentioned time and again, I'm running W7P (aka Windows 7 Professional) and yet you're response saying you are running that too, leaves wondering if you might have meant to say you're not running it.</div><div></div><div></div><div>And yes that's the one thing we have nearly in common, ref. my left click, opens User Accounts (which can be accessed in several differing ways, depending on how the user wished to view Control Panel Home), ref...</div><div></div><div></div><div>Control Panel (then there, via that window's default view, in "catagory" view, the windows affords three specialized links to User Account controls, however if the User chooses small/large icons instead of 'catagory' view, here's where Windows looks like it used to look before designer's continued mucking things up, just my opionion).</div><div></div><div></div><div>Much the same might be said by many users with regards to using Classic view. Aero view and 'Standard' non-XP Window view, all of which basically result in the endless migrating terminology, window design and sadly even more an more convoluted pathways, usually to thee same place, that or palcing focus ahead of time on specific aspects of where the user wants to go and/or the objectifications that Users wish.</div><div></div><div></div><div>But in my opinion again, MS's focus on bloatware rather than useful-ware like hover help and scaleable windows and moreover, scaleable text for folder content (intead of changing display resolution to that which application and web page designer's too, refuse tgenerally ignore providing much of real effort at providing 'Useful-ware' as opposed to 'Get it out the door-ware', hense the frustration, confusion, wasted time, energy and and yes, the ire of so many Users.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Assuming there is no problem actually getting into Windows 7 under the regular account and it is an Admin account - go to control panel and then User Accounts. There is all you should need to re-assign the necessary login and pictures and whatever else you would like change on the account</div><div></div><div></div><div>Since the first advice did not lead to a happy result, investigate creating a new user account as administrator. HERE IS A GUIDE. Just mark the new user account as "Administrator" instead of a "Standard User" as shown. Once that has been completed and you verified it works, reassign the one that is causing you discomfort as a spare account. You really should have a spare admin account anyways just in case the regular account gets corrupted.</div><div></div><div></div><div>But surely whenever I do another clean install, or even a rpair install, I'll be sure to allow my name to be listed in the start menu's user account listing (as I'm guessing that's an issue in some respect).</div><div></div><div></div><div>Not to bump things here, but still unclear though about key aspect of repair installs. Does it wipe security updates and patches, along with program, or does the ssd, CBS folder, TrustedInstaller.exe, SFC.exe simply all kick in along with WindowsUpdateAgent, so as to what, restablish the registry (so as not to need re-downloading them all again, or am I off base and just dreaming)?</div><div></div><div></div><div>Irregardless, perhaps I'm on the wrong trail here, ref. I'd read that users are supposed to be able to r-click the start menu's user account photo (which reportedly then displays the user's account info, folders, whatever). True to your knowledge or experience?</div><div></div><div></div><div>As for my subject user acct., and it's mentioned photo, I did create a new acct as you suggested, and I see that user acct's start menu's right-hand column, it displays one thing my subject user acct's view does not (the new acct listed immediately below the photo, has a folder titled the same as the user name I chose for the new acct, while the other acct doesn't list a users folder, named or not).</div><div></div><div> 795a8134c1</div>
