Windows XP and" Arrange Icons by"

The dman · 13th October 2006

Hello

In Xp sometimes I use the "Arrange Icons by modified" function so I can see files by date. The problem I have is when I go to view a flolder of wave files I sometimes I don't have this option. It's only with certin folders.

What I get is: "Arrange Icons by"

Name
size
artist
album title year track #
Duration

Does anybody know if you can change this with settings in xp?

Thank You

in those folders goto menu item VIEW then select DETAILS.

right click the heading area of the folder and make sure DATE MODIFIED is checked.

Then you can arrange files or sort them by clicking on the date modified heading

to expand upon what Travis said; XP likes to adjust its view/columns/etc... based on the contents of each folder. to avoid all that and make each folder look the same, setup a folder however you want it, then go to Tools->Folder Options and click on the View tab. then select Apply To All Folders.

You don't know how long this has been haunting me.

I owe you both a beer
