Under W2K there is an option within Arrange Icons to show by Date.

This option does not show in XP.

How do I do it then?

If you change to "detail" view then click the header of the column "Date"
then the dates will be in ascending or descending order.

So you can, Neil! Thanks a bundle!

Whilst I've got your attention, can you also tell me how I can get the
Footer which is shown in W2K, i.e. the line starting xx Objects and Disk Free
Space ..., to show in XP?

Look at the "view" command in explorer and select "status bar" that should
do it.
