  1. Column headings in Windows File Explorer missing!


    How can we activate column headers in Windows File Explorer search results? Why are they missing in the first place? Why can I not sort my search results? Why are the search results chaotically outputting search not sorted alphabetically by file name, not sorted by file type or folder, not sorted by size. In fact, not sorted at all. I think a Kindergarden kid can sort items better than Windows.Why is this? Why is it so damn complicated to get something so obvious done in Windows?

    :)

  4. Column headings in Windows File Explorer missing!

    Permanent Windows Explorer folder view settings system wide AND column headings.

    I haven't been able to find a solution to my specific problem

    I know how to change the list feature and add/remove column headings for particular folders. But I would like to permanently choose the default list type and column headings for Windows Explorer . I want to be able to open up Windows Explorer and look at any folder and see the detail list shown with my chosen column headers.

    I still want to be able to change individual folder display preference, but I want the default to be list details, and include headers "Date Taken" and "Date Created". I don't want to have to do this on a folder by folder basis. I have hundreds.

    Thanks!
