Sfor Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I'm browsing through long lists of files with just the keyboard. The view is set to list, as the file names are long. By using left and right arrow keys the list is scrolled to the next page. When i did it in Windows XP there was no smooth scrolling, so I coung search much faster. In Windows 7 I have to wait till the next page finishes to move, before I can actually read the contents. How can I disable the smooth scrolling, so it will work the same way as it did in Windows XP?

Samuel Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) I untick this option and disabled "Last Access Time" in regedit to speed up windows explorer Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem] "NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate"=dword:00000001 Edited April 12, 2020 by Samuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sfor Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share Posted April 13, 2020 Sorry, but it did not work. To be double sure, I disabled all visual effects check boxes, but It changed nothing. On the other hand, I think my question was wrong. I would like to get rid of the scrolling (no mater it is smooth or not). In Windows XP there is no visible moving effect, as file list names from another page are just written over the current ones. In windows 7 there is a visible movement of another page sliding from left or right side. This sliding effect causes my eyes to be tired quickly, as they are trying to follow the moving text.

UCyborg Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Smooth-scroll list boxes effects those: And the combo-boxes: The setting which OP is looking for is not exposed in the GUI AFAIK, but may be set in the registry: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] "SmoothScroll"=dword:00000000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
