Vista - "Date Modified" Column Header Disappears

Slight annoyance here. In XP Pro, I had a column header for "Date Modified"
appear in Windows Explorer for every folder. In Vista, this is not viewable
by default. I have to right click in the header bar, click "more", click
enable "date modified", click ok. At that point "Date Modified" still does
not show up as a header, so I have to right click again and choose it from
the "quick check" list.

On top of all that it seems the settings don't stick and have to re-enable
that column header for folders I know I've enabled it for before.

Is there somewhere to make this a global folder change? I've gone into
folder settings and did the "apply to folders" button. XP had an "apply to
all folders" button. Do these accomplish the same thing? How do I do a
global removal of "artist", "genre", "rating", etc headers? Those show up
in lots of folders that I have no need for.

At any rate, this is an annoyance to have to add the "date modified" column
to every folder manually.

TIA!

Tom

The "Date Modified" pops up when I hold the mouse cursor over the
folder or file name.

Also, when you get the Windows Explorer window the size that you want
it, hold down the control key (or the shift key ??) when you close it
and it will stay that size.

I noticed that too however I need to be able to sort a folder's contents by
"date modified".
Like I said, I can add that column manually but it's become a nuisance doing
that many times over and over.

Will try that shift/ctrl trick.

RED SOX all the way! However I can cheer for the White Sox if they are
playing the Yankees!
Nice no-hitter by the way!
