Windows 7 left Explorer pane:
Windows 10 SCT left Explorer pane:
Any way to get the + node icons back? The pane works normally, but the + node icons are invisible.
Some Windows 10 questions not related to SCT:
- In the Win10 left Explorer pane, for some reason it shows items from My Computer under Desktop, so they appear twice. In the above example, drive E: and P:. That doesn't happen in Windows 7. Any way to make these extra items disappear? I only want them to show up under "Computer" like Windows 7.
- This is a VPS. Notice the "C on LAPTOP" etc.? Those are drives that are shared with the VPS from the connecting machine. Only "C" is local (LAPTOP's hard drive). The other drives are actually mapped network drives on LAPTOP to other computers on my home P2P network. In a Windows 7 VPS, opening up Explorer is instantaneous, and all of these mapped drives appear right away. On a Windows 10 VPS, Explorer opens "slow" because it looks like it physically "checks" every one of these "LAPTOP" resources EVERY TIME "COMPUTER" IS ACCESSED. It's not even every time Explorer is opened... if I double click on the local C hard drive for example, then browse back up to the "Computer" root, it once again takes a few seconds to load each "LAPTOP" resource. (Presumably because it's checking that they are accessible?) This also slows done some applications, such as WinRAR. I actually have MORE mapped network drives, but I had to turn them off because it slowed down Explorer so much, adding more time to "check" them every time "Computer" was browsed to. I have so far have not been able to find anything with regard to some cache setting or something that may make this behave like it does on a Windows 7 VPS, so I'm not sure if it's anything I can do anything about. If anyone is familiar with this issue and has a solution, I'd really like to hear it!
The first issue is not actually related to SCT. It’s rather just an issue with Classic Theme in general. I think it’s an option in Open-Shell Explorer but you would have to check yourself. The other issues:
Drives showing up twice - This can be fixed using Winaero Tweaker
The VPS issue - There’s probably no way to do this except using a different file browser than explorer. This is just hardcoded into explorer and can’t be changed.
