Sort by MODIFIED

[Guest]

Ok, for some reason My Shared Folder just reverted to where I can't sort
files by the normal "date, size, name, modified", I instead have all the
"track duration" and whatnot. I tried going under properties and changing the
"What kind of folder do you want?" to "Documents (for any file type)", but
that doesn't do anything. Also I think 2 new things were added to My Pictures
and My Videos, and I need to find out how I can get it back to the normal 4.
Does anyone know how I can do this?

1. Try deleting the file Desktop.ini in that folder

2. The folder type setting is stored in the registry, sometimes it becomes mismatched. Open a folder. Click Tools, Folder Options, View, Reset All Folders.

Note that this also resets the customizations for all the folders. If you want to do it only for the C:\ folder, you may need to use Process Explorer or Regmon. See this URL for more information:

[Or, use Process Explorer from www.sysinternals.com]
1. Open C:\
2. Start P'Explorer
3. Switch the lower pane view to Handles, in order to find the 'Bag Number'. Once you locate the Bag #, go to that key and change the FolderType to "Documents".
