[ Feature Request ] XP Classic Navigation Pane #153

Open kocane opened 5 years ago

kocane commented 5 years ago

Classic Shell in Windows 7 had a navigation pane option to make it like "XP Classic", i.e. where there were lines going from folders to subfolders. I've always really liked this, and it's still present in e.g. regedit. However it seems like it was removed when going to Windows 10.

Is there any chance the option will come back?

@ibuprophen1 Hi Ibu, maybe works on his Win10 not ? works it at you ?

@blackcrack, I kinda understand what is being asked but, TBH, I'm not completely clear with the explanation.

It does look like a little of a language barrier...

http://www.classicshell.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=7508 -> addresses the removal of the option during the move to Windows 10.

It was an option called XP Classic that made the navigation tree in Windows Explorer have explicitly-drawn lines to subfolders, the way regedit has lines drawn connecting the subkeys to the main HKEY entries, or that the old Winfile file manager on Windows 3.x and NT (and now Windows 10) did. The 'What it looks like' section for Winfile even has a screenshot that shows the kind of lines being referred to here.

Actual Windows XP had the option tucked away in the Files & Folders configuration dialog, where it gave the option to turn the Simple style (no lines connecting the folders) on if checked, or off if not checked.
