Classic Shell: Forum

First of all THANK YOU for the wonderful program. I use it since day 1 when Win 7 was installed.

I've been searching around ever since I started using Windows 7 to find the way to fix it but couldn't find the solution. Didn't have that in XP. Is there any way to fix that? Makes me every time I want to open something and it just jumps away from me.
The problem is when I open any folder with files/folders in it, the files in the very right column jump to the left if I click (double click) on them. I know about single-click setting in Win 7. I think it was already available in Windows 98 if not in 95. Don't remember. Definitely in XP. I kind of always liked double-click option for opening files and folders and of course, got used to it over so many years.

I captured a short video of what's going on. Red star - left click and the blue star - right click.


Win 7 behavior.



Here is exactly what I want to accomplish. I connected my XP hard drive and captured a video of the same situation behavior there.



As you can see there is no jumping at all. Any way to force Win 7 to do the same?

Thanks in advance.

This is a well known annoying bug when using List View or any view that scrolls horizontally. There is a long thread in Microsoft's forums about this but they are not bothered to fix it: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/94f1ad37-9110-4273-a473-ed02e36af386/is-there-a-way-to-disable-explorer-automatic-row-scrolling-in-list-view?forum=w7itproui Classic Shell cannot fix this either because the right pane of Explorer uses a private control which is not documented.

Thank you very much for your reply.
Yeah, I read that long thread not too long ago and saw there was no fix for the issue. Then I decided to post here. Unfortunately you guys can't fix it either. And I think MS is not going to because some people say it's exactly the same behavior in Win 8.1

Excuse my stupid question (I'm not a programmer or anything). Maybe there is a way to get the explorer from Win XP somehow and put it in 7? It's possible to take MsPaint and WordPad from XP and put them in 7 to get rid of the stupid ribbon.

No that is impossible.
