how to display folders first in Windows Explorer - please help

One way to do is to click on the "Name" column i.e. you sort them in
name order.

Another way is to sort by date order in ascending order. this means you
click on the "date modified" column.

When I say click on I actually mean click on the *title* itself and you
will see the arrows toggle between up and down arrows.

PS: what was the reason to cross post everywhere? Was one newsgroup
not enough for you?

Hallo,

Start the name with a char with an ASCII code <65.
Like $First.

To the OP:

And if you can't figure out how to click on the title/header row on a
field, you can right-click in the whitespace and select Arrange and
pick to sort on Name.

Thanks!! I often sort by descending date order so that
I can see most recently modified files first.
But then, my folders often land at the bottom. :-(

BTW, it's WAS "only" two newsgroups.

[...]Isn't that the default way to show names? There may be a setting under
Tools->File Options but I doubt it. Sort on Name and it should be quite
automatic.

Personally, I think most sports fans are a little "gay". They'd
rather watch a bunch of sweaty guys jumping all over each other,
than, say fashion TV - where hot models walk down the runway.

Hot sized zero models ?
