Solved Eliminate "Pictures" view for Public folder?

When I look at my Public folder on Windows Vista using the Windows Explorer utility, the files there show up only in Pictures view. I.e., most annoyingly, there is no column showing when the files were modified. There is only a "Date Taken" column, which applies only to photos.

Is it possible to change the view, and if so, how? The files I'm talking about are not in any of the prenamed folders in the Public folder (Public Pictures, Public Videos, etc.); they are just in the folder.

Thanks!

Hello Jacqui, and welcome to Vista Forums.

If you just wanted to change the folder view for that specific folder, then you could click on View (menu bar) and Details to have columns as you have. If you just wanted to add another column (ex: Date modifed), then you could use the tutorial below for how to do so.
If you would prefer to just have the same folder template for this specific folder like normal files, then the tutorial below can help show you how to change the folder's template to All items.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Thank you, Brink--that's fantastic!

Merry, merry,
