    Download folder always displays as "Grouped" and in "list"


    I keep changing the download folder display back to medium sized icons and "none" for groups and it keeps reverting back to "Group" display of the icons along with "list" view sized icons. Aggravating...anyone else having this happen? I'm on version 1903, but this happened with the previous version, I think it was what, 1809?

    :)

    How to display the full name or change width in folder list view?


    Windows10 1809ver.

    How to display the full name or change name width in folder list view?

    on the my old computer (xp/win7), list View is display the full name,
    the way to display the name is based on the length of the file name,like Picture 1

    I am not asking for "detail" View



    Picture 1 (The effect I want to achieve)


    Download folder always displays as "Grouped" and in "list" [​IMG]


    Picture 2 (My current situation) (file names cut off,in the ninth group of 1234567890)

    Download folder always displays as "Grouped" and in "list" [​IMG]


    - - - Updated - - -

    Download folder always displays as "Grouped" and in "list"

    Unable to delete a folder - Invalid folder name


    Suggestion:
    1. Run chkdsk x: /r to make sure that there's no HD corruption.
      x: is the drive containing the folder you want to delete.
    2. Try to delete the folder again. If still does not work, go to step 3.
    3. Download: Download - Linux Mint and create a bootable USB using: Rufus - Create bootable USB
    4. Boot up with Linux Mint and try to delete the folder again.
      NOTE: Unlike WinPE. Linux does not have any Windows permission imposed to it so it is easier to delete.
