Mike Frett Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 Anyone else having problems with their folder views? I installed sp3 and now my folders are set to classic view and I tried folder options to set it back to web view and still no go. I'm thinking about reinstalling IE6 to see if it fixes the problem. For now I have resorted to the "customize folder" option as a quick fix. :o Sodapop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMA_PN Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Does the "OFFICIAL" SP3 says "SP3 Build 2195" in MSINFO32? I have the one from Tuesday and I was wondering if they changed that but as I can see, even the CRC didn't change so... With SP3 from tuesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think i have the final cuz i went to microsoft and download the official built and after saying, inspecting for necessary disk space it said that windows 2000 sp3 installion has complete and it needs to restart windows for the changes to take effect, but even after that, i still have the thing on my right of my desktop. Tell me something, what is the final windows 2000 built number, i no is may sound silly but just tell me please =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kairon Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Calm down, it's not like were here 24/7 to answer questions (Especially in this deserted forum :p) goto download.com and search for Registry Detective and download and install it, then load it and search for the word "TESTING" remove the one that looks like the testing text to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With SP3 from tuesday 2195 is the final build number of the original Windows 2000 (like 2600 is XPs), doesnt get affected by Service Packs. Due to the fact that the CRCs are the same, however, shows that the "official" copy and the one from tuesday are indeed the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Frett Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 Hey guy's, Any of you found a fix for the folder problem? Does it happen when you do a fresh install?. I just installed win2k and all the updates and then installed sp3 and these folder problems just happened and i'll be darned if I can't find a fix for them. I'll admit it's just a small defect but I really did love my folder views ;). I posted about this earlier in this thread but it seems folks are starting to popup saying they have the same problem. I just find it hard to believe that me and the other guy are the only ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Frett Posted August 6, 2002 Share Posted August 6, 2002 Alright, I have found out how to fix the folder problem. Go to C:WINNTWeb and rename folder.htt to default.htt and rename default.htt to folder.htt. And now everything will be fixed with folder views. You will need to un-hide files to see these files.

Rivak Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 You can go straight to SP3. FYI, you can go directly to sp6 with NT too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attyk Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 Remember to disable the auto update service for SP3. Under the services, simply disable Application Management and Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wI-OSMAN- Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 and also remember to disable services after you install SP3. some might be turned on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
