    Viewing File Explorer as single spacing instead of double spacing

    No, the File Explorer in W10 continues to display file names in

    a double-space format, such as the one I am typing

    here. There is no way that I can find that will enable displaying them as

    single spaced lines, and the one suggestion I got was not useful.

    Kind of a useless "feature" don't you think, especially if you are

    searching through a long list of files for one particular file.

    Similarly, dropping color coding for all Office applications now deprives me

    of a real feature that I have used to great effect for years and through several

    versions of Windows and Office Outlook, especially in organizing Notes by categories, and Contacts by type.

    Lastly, now I notice in Outlook Emails, the Delete, Respond, Read/Unread Toggle, Move, and Followup icons are no longer with each email (where there is PLENTY of room) to the right-hand margin, where one has to mouse over to them. Really? Perhaps someone
    could forward these observations/complaints to the graphics people who keep churning out unnecessary changes.

    And I would really like to get these three elements back. I suppose some folks don't need the (for example) color coding, or mind (for example) the double spacing file lists. Why not put these decisions in the Options popup?

    Thanks,

    Microsoft To Do -- how to change from double spaced printing

    I switched over from Wunderlist. Was able to print lists from Wunderlist, single spaced. To Do prints double spaced only, and there seems to be no way to change that. Anyone figure out how to change to single spaced? My first contact with Office support
    suggested making changes to the settings in Microsoft Word. I tried but that did not help with To Do. Second suggestion was to contact Windows support, suggesting it must then be something in Windows Settings. Wasn't able to get connected with Windows support,
    so just checking here if anyone has an answer on how to get To Do to print single spaced lists?

    Double spacing in file folders???

    ?? How do I PW protect Folders in windows

    hmmm?
    Sharing files and folders overview You can share the files and folders stored on your computer, on a network, and on the Web. The method you choose depends on whom you want to share files with, and what computer they will use to access the files.

    When you share files or folders, they are not as protected as they are when you do not share them. People with access to your computer or your network might be able to read, copy, or change files that are in a shared folder. You should always be aware that the files and folders that you share are available to other people and be sure to monitor your shared files and folders on a regular basis.

    Important

    If your computer is not joined to a domain, you can use the Network Setup Wizard to automatically turn file and printer sharing on or off. To start the Network Setup Wizard, click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Network Setup Wizard.
    If you both use the same computer

    You can put the files you want to share in the Shared Documents folder. Files stored in the Shared Documents folder or its subfolders are always available to other users on your computer.

    Step-by-step procedure
    Note

    If you are connected to a network domain, the Shared Documents, Shared Pictures, and Shared Music folders are not available.
    If both computers are on the same network

    You can share a folder or drive on your computer with others on the network. You can also control whether the files in the shared folder can be modified by other users.

    If your computer is connected to a network domain, use this procedure:

    Step-by-step procedure
    If your computer is connected to a workgroup, use this procedure:

    Step-by-step procedure
    Note

    If you are connected to a network domain, you will need to set the Access control for the folder or drive after sharing it. For more information, go to To set, view, change, or remove file and folder permissions.
    If you want to share your files online

    You can publish pictures and documents on the Web using the Web Publishing Wizard. The files will be stored in a private, online folder that you manage.

    Step-by-step procedure

    If you don't want others to access your files

    You can prevent other users from accessing your folders and the files they contain. When your computer is connected to a domain, this is called setting permissions for your file or folder. When your computer is connected to a workgroup, this is called making your folders private.

    If your computer is connected to a network domain, use this procedure:

    Step-by-step procedure
    If your computer is connected to a workgroup, use this procedure:

    Step-by-step procedure
