![]() ![]() it as sure as anything in the universe, will eventually get reset by MS whether on purpose, or design stupidity. I want to have different types of folders not just general items folders, and b. How to force all the folders on my system to be a "general items" folder so that then I can change the Sort By options for all my general items folders.Bad question to ask and answer, because it will get reset, or will not really be applied to all types of folders and all future drives and connected devices. How to change my Sort By options and then apply them to all folders.I normally would have asked what most seemingly related questions on this topic on SU ask (like this, and this): ^ Why is it not even actually per folder but per shell, and why does the Sort By list get reset? Where is this setting stored?.I set all of them, reboot and/or install a totally useful windows update, it gets reset again. I open another program with another windows shell browse menu, date modified isn't there either. Now, I go in my browser and save a file, browser asks where to save, I browse to D:\Downloads\ GUESS WHAT? DATE MODIFIED ISN'T THERE. For instance: I go to D:\Downloads\ in Explorer and go to Sort By and go to More and scroll all the way down to Date Modified, and click okay, then go to Sort By again and select Date Modified.All of these in addition to it being a folder by folder setting, contribute to the problem but I can't piece together how come the Sort By items lists get reset. There's also different (types of) drives in a system, external drives, music player drives, phone drives whatever. I know folders can be of different types (general, music library, photo gallery etc) and that windows automatically decides which is which continuously based on what's in a folder. I wish to understand how Windows Explorer works in the sense of why this happens. My question has 3 parts, but to make it easy, of course I will mark as answered any answer that only addresses the 3rd part: Quick note to eager mods: this is not a duplicate :) ![]()
