When I double click a folder, it opens it with the search function. Also, it added more options to list than I need. Only File Folders, nothing else. I can still...

    All Hoorahs to Zalman Coolers

    I built this system and from day one, I have been having unreasonably high vid card temps. At even a mild OC, it would push temps into the 90'C range. During benches, it would approach 96'C. Too High! I since then, installed a Zalman VF700Cu to the 6600, and Man O Man, it's wonderful! There...
