Windows Explorer and sorting of files for DVD or removable media

[eljainc]

Hello,

I have a perplexing situation. I have a DVD that has a number of files
on it. In the Windows
Explorer (I'm running SP2 of WinXP), I bring up the DVD drive. I get a
listing of files sorted by name. However when I click on the column for
'Date Modified', nothing happens. I can click to sort by Size, Type or
Name. However date sorting has no effect. Is this a bug with WinXP or
is there a "trick" to fix this?

TIA
Mike McWhinney

NO "trick". Copy ALL files on DVD to HARD DRIVE. THEN try to sort them
out. It will work then, Mike. So long as your DVD can be copied.

That's an interesting idea...but probably not the optimal one. I just
thought of a better one:

Start | Run | cmd.exe

dir J: /od /p

where J: is the CD/DVD drive letter. Good ole DOS ;-)
