##Resolved## Windows Explorer (on Win 7 64) advice please...

I think I must have toggled something on or off by mistake here, as this problem has never arisen before.

If I want to upload an image to Photobox, I click on the upload button and a Windows Explorer Browser opens - usually it open my Pictures folder.

However, for the last couple of days, the Folder opens as usual, but the Preview Pane always opens too. Which is a pain in the arse as I never use it.

Does anyone know what I could have accidently changed, and how can I get it back to 'normal' (please note, if I open a Browser Window from My Computer, the preview pane never opens, it's only when something 'online' opens it.

Thanks in advance.

The cause of my disillusion, hatred and loathing:

Top right, under the close button are three icons.
The middle one is "Show Preview Pane"

I knew that Karyn, it's just that up until a few days ago the preview pane never appeared, so I never had to use that button to switch it off.

Most frustrating.

ok, The preview pane button is a memory toggle. It stays set even if you close and re-open the window.
But it's possible there is a setting in the application you're using that opens the preview pane. Look for preference settings similar to "Use Preview when opening files" for example.
