file Explorer

I would like to display files in file explorer in form of icons rather than the listing.
Is this possible? How do I access the settings for file explorer?

How to access Windows shared folder?

Is there an easy way to browse files in the Windows' shared folder?
ie. to copy/play mp3s,videos,documents, etc stored in your windows file server from nexus one.
cheers

ASTRO File manager, EStrongs Explorer.

In general on any non-Windows platform, if you'd like to access Windows file shares, look for a program that supports "SAMBA".

I second E strong. Fantastically easy setup.
Are you sure Astro does samba ?

Latest update brings the ability to load 2 add-on modules, one for Samba and one for BT. Both are free on the market, but need to be downloaded in addition to Astro main module.

Thanks guys, the Astro file manager works great!

[Q] Just a quick question

Hi, when you go into the "media" folder on your tab, is it possible to add more folders there then the stock photo, video, download?

Yes, its possible

And how do you do it?

Use the stock file manager "my files", or download astro file manager or efile from the market.

or use your pc/mac via usb

Using your tab only, click "my files" icon and navigate from there to wherever you want to place your new folder. Then use the context button to reveal the new folder menu, as well as rename and details options.
by the way, you might also be interested in a better media browser than the stock, use quickpic from android market.
also, if you add a blank file (usually a txt file) named .nomedia at the root of a folder which contains some files, the files won't get picked up by the media scanner and stay hidden, but will still be seen by file explorer like My Files.

File Manager Question. Thanks

Install any file manager from the Android Market (I recommend OI File Manager or Astro) and use it to browse to the Root Explorer .apk file and install it.

Works if you set ES File manager as your default program to download.

Use this it swaps your internal memory with external memory http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2180733
