Vista - My folders have lost titles and now show modified time & date. HELP!!!

Hi, hope theres someone out there with a solution to this ugly problem on Vista!!
Every folder and icon on my laptop has somehow changed from its normal title to the modified time and date.
However, when I open up windows explorer it shows as documents, pictures, games etc in the left hand part, but in the main window and on desktop etc they show this annoying date and time making it hard to track down anything!!

Anybody got any ideas?? I've searched all over the place for an anwser

Thanks

Paul

Hi Paul,

This is an interesting one. Can you post a screenshot? Was this problem seen after using a third-party tweaker program or something? You can always try a System Restore rollback then.

Hi Ramesh,
I already tried a restore but hasn't done anything.
I've attached a a couple of screen dumps for you to look at to look at. Its an odd one. It effects every file, folder, icon, word doc etc on the laptop. When I look at the options in a window to decide what I want it to show, the name option is missing. I'm not too sure about a tweaker program!? I dont know what one is, which sort of tells me I probably haven't run one

Thanks for your time.

Paul

Paul,

I don't see any screenshots attached. You may send it to ramesh (at) mvps (.dot) org.

Hi,
I got the same problems as Paul I think. In my case only the authors are
shown and I cannot choose the filename to show.

I tried a lot. Searching Google get no results.

It is apparently not possible to add a Screenprint to this message.

KR,
Dennis
