Re: Confer Folder Organization You Want on Vista Explorer
Jeff --
If I'm understanding you correctly, I think that you can modify those column
heads by going to that icon/folder at the lower left of your explorer folder
window and right clicking>and highlighting sort by/group by/stack by/and by
clicking on any of those menu choices click "more" which gives you over 120
choices for COLUMN HEADERS which will apply whichever view you use including
DETAILS. It's working for me.
