    How to change settings so that a typed letter scrolls to files beginning with that letter?


    Before I formatted my laptop windows 10, whenever I typed a letter e.g "F" the screen would scroll to the page where files starting with "F" began. After formatting, everytime I type a letter it goes straight to the search box top right corner instead of jumping to the "F" files. Is there a certain setting I need to change?Thank you!

    :)

    How to change settings so that a typed letter scrolls to files beginning with that letter?

    Changing the system volume drive letter safe?

    It depends. Need some more information. Is your boot volume c: ? If so, then others can be changed around as needed, but there may be collateral damage. Usually, if there are pointers set in the registry, as long as you use the storage management plugin to change the drive letter assignments, most things should work.

    Trouble comes in the form of applications that keep file system information (folders, path names, etc) in files that are stored in directories during installation. Those usually cannot be changed easily, unless you know that they are there and where they are....

    What drive letters are you trying to change specifically, and what is the operating system
