    Pretty noobish question but yesterday out of nowhere, the preview pane doesn't display in the Games Explorer anymore. I can select it manually from the
    Organize button, but then it turns it on or off for a lot of other folders
    as well (such as Documents, etc.). I only want it on for the Games Explorer window. I know that was the default when Vista was installed but I honestly don't know why this setting has been altered. :confused:

    If nobody has any idea here in the Gaming forum, perhaps a mod can move this thread in the Windows OS and Software forum so I don't spam all the forums with the same question.

    EDIT: One more thing, it seems the Games Explorer template changed automatically by itself to the "Documents" template because if I change the Documents folder template to "All files", the preview pane disappears there but still remains in the Games Explorer. While this may be a temporary solution, many other folders have the "Documents" template including the "Network" folder and I am not aware of any way of changing it there.

    I moved this over to the Windows forum partly by request and partly because I think you'll get better answers here as it appears to be a Vista issue :)

    Thanks for the move. I'm surprised nobody is aware of this issue. :confused:
