Raj--
I want you to open a windows explorer folder. Right click the
desktop>new>folder and make one.
1) Open up the folder by clicking it. At the ****lower left corner of the
folder is an ICON. I have included a .jpeg to illustrate this. There is
only ONE lower left corner of that window of the explorer folder and only
one icon there.
Right click that icon in the lower left corner and you'll see a category
second from top or that right click context menu that says "SORT BY" and I
want you to click MORE on the bottom of the menu that slides out when you
mouse over sort by.
2) Left clicking on MORE PROVIDES YOUR CATEGORIES and one of them can
certainly be date.
Then click to the right of Date for example once you have checked it and you
can sort in anyway you like.
Please refer to the .jpeg I've attached.
My point is that this will organize your files, other folders you want in
one folder, and shortcuts (which would have been favorites) in any given
Windows explorer folder.
Good luck,
CH
