  1. Windows Explorer - Navigation Pane - Expand to Open Folder

    Taking a look at OneCommander. There's a lot there, if I want to make the big change. A bonus: No longer to suffer the plague of the FE jumping Nav pane.
  2. Windows Explorer - Navigation Pane - Expand to Open Folder

    This is driving me nuts! I use SystemTrayMenu with shortcuts to several folders on my SSD and on my NAS. The Nav pane no longer expands to the current folder when I arrive at the shortcut destination. This is disorienting, to say the least. All standard FE settings are correct. I'm on Win...
  3. Do you use your principal computer for game playing?

    I'm 11 years retired. The computer itself became the game long ago. I always have a notebook or two that are way more powerful than I really need. Just for fun. Even computer problems are fun. Well, most of the time. Once upon a time, I loved video games. I put a lot of quarters in Space...
  4. Thunderbird 115: CSS Customization

    Going back to the info on changing mail folder colors, the properties dialog applies only to that specific folder -- without a way to change ALL Inbox folders or ALL sent folders en masse. I have six email accounts plus local folders on each of two computers. I found these helpful links...
  5. Thunderbird 115: CSS Customization

    Yup, Chicago born and raised. Retired now and still enjoying the city. Canada is beautiful, too. Had fun in Victoria and Vancouver way back when. Now -- off to a friend's house to watch the Bears game! (Wish me luck. :rolleyes:)
  6. Thunderbird 115: CSS Customization

    Ha! That's much too obvious. Now I have nothing to fiddle with. :D Thanks for the instant reply.
  7. Thunderbird 115: CSS Customization

    This is quite the informative thread. Is there a way to change the colors of the mail icons? TB did a pretty good job with this in 115.2, but I'd still like to fiddle with the colors of Inbox, Junk, etc. The CSS I used in 102 no longer has any effect. Also, I've run into an odd problem where...
  8. Win Update KB4023057 Update Health Tools - Windows Update Service components

    Mine updated on 8/19. Note the 2023-04, not 2023-08 as in Wisewiz's post above. Windows says I'm up to date.
  9. Win Update KB4023057 Update Health Tools - Windows Update Service components

    After many failed solutions, I finally found one that worked. Deleted everything in the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download folder, rebooted. Did not need to go into Safe Mode as some sites suggested. The update then downloaded and installed in a few seconds.
  10. Win Update KB4023057 Update Health Tools - Windows Update Service components

    This update has been trying and failing to install every day since 8/2/2023. Meanwhile, I see that v5.70.0.0 is in my list of installed apps. So I'm not sure why my Windows Update History is filling up with these failures. (Other Windows updates have installed OK during this time.)
  11. Solved T-bird vs Outlook: How to manage new email notifications?

    Well, then -- I have no idea what your setup is. I know of no way that a single email would be sent from the device on which it is composed AND form a different email app on another device simultaneously.
  12. Windows can't display wallpapers in order (consistently)

    Mine is set to change once daily with random pictures. It never changes at the same time and it sometimes changes multiple times per day. This is nothing new. Win 10 behavior was the same.
  13. Solved T-bird vs Outlook: How to manage new email notifications?

    I don't know anything about email on a Kindle, but you can use different email apps on different devices. If you are set up as MAPI on each device, everything should work easily. If anything goes wrong, or you might need Outlook on your laptop in the future, you should be sure to have access to...
  14. Solved T-bird vs Outlook: How to manage new email notifications?

    Do you mean incoming mail is appearing in Outlook instead of Thunderbird? I don't understand that. Why would there be an active account in Outlook if you don't use it? But if you do not need Outlook, I would indeed just uninstall it. I have not used it since my working years, and always hated...
  15. Solved T-bird vs Outlook: How to manage new email notifications?

    What if you click on Outlook in the Default App list? Can you set it to T-Bird? For example, my Default App list contains the Windows Mail app. When I click on that, the default comes up as T-Bird.
