I want to arrange files in my folder by type
In XP, the option to arrange files by type was always there. In Vista, it is not. I know that I have to right click and select on of the 680 or so options for arranging files that are there, but to be honest, I use Sort by - TYPE soooo often, that I want it to be there all the time. Is there something I can do to make this a default option, maybe amend a registry key or something??? It drives me mad! -- txacoli Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |

I don't know how I missed that.......I've been trying to find something like this for ages. There's one thing though, it only does it for the particular folder I choose and not all of them. Do you or does anyone know if it is possible to make this option available to all folders?? -- txacoli Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |

Walt Thatcher wrote As far as I know, that option is the default for most folders. Sorry, perhaps I didn't word it very clearly. What I want is to make *one* change and have -SORT BY - TYPE- as an option for *ALL *folders, rather than have to go into the -CHANGE DETAILS -option in every folder I open. Does anyone know if this is possible??? -- txacoli Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |

I find that unnecessary most of the time, because it's already set. Date Modified, Type and Size appear to be defaults. -- Max |
