Oh yes! I get some of that data, but I can’t use it to clarify the results. Certainly not the sort-able data regarding “Name”, Date Modified”, “Type” and “Size”.
When I issue a search, asking for a list of specific files, I get a two-row display (hence only half as much data as my eyes/brain can process) with no headings. If I never again see useless columns of empty metadata, they can bury me in the cemetery up on the hill in the shadow of the twin water towers just someone make sure to drop the dozens of Windows CDs in the coffin so that no youngsters get sidetracked into a life of grime. I say with confidence after thirty years of trying to cajole, persuade, exhort and, as of this date, being willing to bludgeon File Explorer into a boring life of nothing else but “Name”, Date Modified”, “Type” and “Size”, ever again. There is nothing else I need, and nothing else I want, but these four headings. They are manila folders and I write the labels the way I can understand the labeling scheme. They are FILES, regardless of their content. “Name”, Date Modified”, “Type” and “Size”.
I can’t remember having these problems in Win3.1 but I suspect that they were there they were certainly there in WinXP, Win7 and for the past twelve months in Win10.Ībove is what I like to see. I think instead I will have to settle for an explanation “Get used to it, Chris!”. I would even give up the remainder of my subscription to Ask Woody/Woody’s Lounge/Woody’s Fan Club et al for a foolproof way to thwart File Explorer and its snide pal Windows 10 in the matter of column headings. It goes without saying that a satisfactory permanent solution will also see me re-subscribing to and, as a Premium or Angel member.
(4) Using the new trick to delay updates for 90 days
(3) Volatile *.reg patch to the registry that must be invoked at re-boot.BAT time. And only my vote counts, and if necessary, Linux it will be! If anyone, man, woman, child, dog, lurker, guest or anonymous wossit can come up with a foolproof method for forcing Windows File Explorer to show, always, for ever and anon, “Name”, Date Modified”, “Type” and “Size” as column headings in and under all circumstances, then I promise either to leave these forums and never return, or to stay until the day I die.
