Default My folders have lost titles and now show modified time & date. HELP!!!


Hi, hope theres someone out there with a solution to this ugly problem
on Vista!!
Every folder and icon on my laptop has somehow changed from its normal
title to the modified time and date.
However, when I open up windows explorer it shows as documents,
pictures, games etc in the left hand part, but in the main window and on
desktop etc they show this annoying date and time making it hard to
track down anything!!

Anybody got any ideas?? I've searched all over the place for an anwser

Thanks :geek:

Paul

Hi Paul,

This is an interesting one. Can you post a screenshot? Was this problem seen after using a third-party tweaker program or something? You can always try a System Restore rollback then.

Hi Ramesh,
I already tried a restore but hasn't done anything.
I've attached a a couple of screen dumps for you to look at to look at.
Its an odd one. It effects every file, folder, icon, word doc etc on the
laptop. When I look at the options in a window to decide what I want it
to show, the name option is missing. I'm not too sure about a tweaker
program!? I dont know what one is, which sort of tells me I probably
haven't run one

Thanks for your time.

Paul

Paul,

I don't see any screenshots attached. You may send it to ramesh (at) mvps (.dot) org.

Hi,
I got the same problems as Paul I think. In my case only the authors are
shown and I cannot choose the filename to show.

I tried a lot. Searching Google get no results.

It is apparently not possible to add a Screenprint to this message.

KR,
Dennis
