Simple escaping Vista feature

[Krazy K]

In XP you could sort objects by date modified, which was good for finding the most recent file created in a folder. Microsoft, with Vista assumed once again that the computer is smarter than the user but it never will be.

How can I bring back this feature of sort by date modified?

Right click on the folder, cruise to sort by, cruise to "more" and click that and it'll give you a bunch of other options with check boxes and modified is amongst them.

The only 'Mo' I have is Mood. For all I care they are all under the same mood, WHY ARE ALL THE IDIOTS IN MY CITY!

There's a lot of options, I'm guessing it's just called something else that would kinda make sense. I'll keep trying...

This is one of the biggest gripes I still have with Vista... it's aggravating. I often have to add 'Type' to the sort by options just so I can easier handle a folder. Even though I add it once, it never stays there, which is even more frustrating.

Also, If you are editing video with mp3's, you need to go into view Length, everytime, seems it won't save it or even less global

You aren't following me. Right click in the body of the folder, go to sort by and in the options to sort by it says "More" at the bottom. Left click "More" and then you get the check boxes. You add "Modified" and it's in sort by the next time you right click. I know as I did it myself.

Actually, I think he did follow ya Madmat.

It is called "Date Modfied", so hit the "D" key and look under D. You'll find it there

I gotta agree though... Vista never seems to apply my folder preferences to ALL folders... and routinely changes some folders but not others. No rhyme or reason. I'm not sure I'd want to meet the individual that came up with that brilliant idea.

D'oh!
