Hey all

Is there ANYWAY to get Vista to automatically increase the size of the columns in details view to however long the longest file/foldername is? Im sure im not the only one bugged by this and having to constantly double click on column headers to get them to expand.
 
I would also love to know this! Also, I keep changing a folder to arrange the files by size, but it never stays that way!
How do you make it remember settings?!

A single folder or all folders? If all folders use:

Press Alt to open Title Bar Menu - Tools - Folder Options - View - Apply to all folders

If a single folder it should remember your settings but if not under Tools - Folder Options is a setting "Remember each folders view settings". Make sure thats ticked.
 
Anyway, regarding your 'refresh' problem.... have you tried pressing F5?

Its not about refreshing, its more about displaying the information in the right hand side pain. If you navigate explorer with a keyboard only, you can tab to the different windows, press left or right to open up/close folders but to display the contents of a highlighted folder you need to press enter on it to get it to display in the right hand side pain. This is what v0n was moaning about.
