Hello,
On my old notebook (HP Omnibook, Win 98SE) when I used the windows explorer,
the various items were hierarchically connected by a dotted line forming a
“tree�. On my new notebook (HP Pavilion zv5000, Win XP) this dotted line is
not visible. Also, while browsing with the Internet Explorer, the same type
of line in the form of a rectangular indicated which item was hit. This
happened both during the selection of an item and also when I returned back
(with the “back button�) indicating thus which item was previously selected.
This “dotted rectangular� is also not visible on my new notebook. Since this
feature is extremely useful I would please like to know if there some option
which I have to activate to make the line(s) visible. Changing the brightness
did not help. It looks as if the line is totally missing.
Thank you,
Dimitrios

1. Open Folder Options in Control Panel.
2. Double-click Folder Options.
3. Under the View tab, uncheck "Display simple folder view in
Explorer's Folder list", then click "apply".
