Hello there, I have a small issue regarding the view of the Windows 7. I was using the Windows XP operating system for my desktop. But i have recently switched it to the Windows 7 just to make myself updated with the latest technology but now it gives me problem. As i am user friendly with the XP i can not find the same classical view of the explorer in the Windows 7. Is there any software is available for the same. Help me regarding the same. Thanks in advance.

Hey, There is a third party software which will enable you with the different view of the explorer. This is is known as the Classic Shell. All you have to download it from the internet and then it. And the install. After the installation has been finish it will automatically ask for the classical view of the same and it dose not require the restart of the system after the installation finishes. It also enable more feature which you can see only if you are using it. That all i can help you regarding the query.
