CuBie Posted May 28, 2004 Posted May 28, 2004 Hi all, in XP, whenever you have a bunch of mp3's or avi's in a folder and you goto the arrange by menu you get extra options like "By Artist" and stuff.. The thing is when it adds these Extra "Arrange By" things, it removes "Arrange By Modified".. So does anybody know how to turn these off so it stops adding these extra arrange by things?Its soo annoying when i download music and i cant arrange it by date!Thanks!Chris!
gamehead200 Posted May 28, 2004 Posted May 28, 2004 Right-click on the arrange things (like Name, Date Modified, etc...) on top and select how you want them listed...
CuBie Posted May 29, 2004 Author Posted May 29, 2004 I dont understand... Or you dont understand what im trying to do.. Explain Clearer?Chris.
jrzycrim Posted May 29, 2004 Posted May 29, 2004 Right-click on the arrange things (like Name, Date Modified, etc...) on top and select how you want them listed... The 'arrange icons by modified' option isn't available in Music Folders.CuBie: The only thing I can suggest is right clicking on the folder in question, select properties, go to the customize tab. At the top under 'What type of folder do you want?' select 'Documents' from the drop-down list.This won't work for the 'My Music' folder, however. No customize tab is available for this folder. Maybe someone else will have a better suggestion.
Ideas Man Posted May 30, 2004 Posted May 30, 2004 To choose the options you can arrange by, open the folder and click the View menu, click Choose Details..., Check the options you want to sort by and click OK. Now, when you arrange the files, the options you selected will be visible and you can sort by them

Ideas Man Posted May 30, 2004 Posted May 30, 2004 That only works if you have it in Details view, my way works either way, does the same job.
jrzycrim Posted May 30, 2004 Posted May 30, 2004 Ah I see. Cool. I never noticed that before. I never arrange by modified. Cool Tip.
CuBie Posted May 30, 2004 Author Posted May 30, 2004 Thanks all, i've never known how to do this... Thanks again for the information Chris!

Ahh, i was just reading the posts again, and this is EXACTLY what i wantedThank YOU very much!Chris.EditIs there a way to make ALL folders DEFAULT to 'Documents' with a registry tweak or somthing?Chris.

Ideas Man Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 Thanks I think I said that but if I didn't, I should've.
