Exploring Your Options
Personalizing your desktop
Changing desktop and browsing style
Windows Millennium Edition provides several ways to view
your desktop and browse the files and folders on your local
computer or network file server.
You can choose from three different styles:
Web style
In this style, you can browse the desktop and folders like
you browse Web pages, by single-clicking items. Files,
folders, and applications open in a single window,
instead of in separate windows.
Classic style
This desktop style is similar to the classic Windows 95
desktop. You double-click to open items, and a new
window appears for each item you open.
Custom style
You can pick and choose which options you want.
Custom settings include options for browsing folders,
creating window backgrounds, and selecting and
opening items. For example, you can use options from
both the Web style and the Classic style so that you
double-click to open items and use Web pages as
window backgrounds.
The style you choose determines how you browse in
Windows Millennium Edition, regardless of whether you
start from the desktop, My Computer, Windows Explorer, or
Internet Explorer.
For more information about changing your desktop style,
enter
customizing the desktop
on the Index tab in Windows Help.
