Column headings in "Search " by Avery Tom Deacon Harry[_2_]
Sometimes a Search will produce results with column headings "name", "date taken", "size" and "folder". Sometimes it will produce other headings as well or instead. And sometimes it will produce results that only give one column heading... "name". What is going on and how can I get it to display only the column headings of "name", "date", "size" and "folder"?

Deleting files - seems to staul, or get stuck by Argamedius

I tried right-mouse clicking and selecting 'delete', I've used the 'delete' button, and even clicking and dragging the damn file over to the bin, but it doesn't work. I don't like files that are 'there' that cannot be deleted! When I do...
