  1. How to hide 'yesterday', 'last week', etc in Downloads folder


    Been ignoring updates for over a year but finally installed them and now my Downloads folder is organized in a way I don't like at all. Before everything was just there now it's separated by yesterday, last week, last month etc. How do I get it to go back to how it used to be?

    Temporarily hide a folder

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that you want to hide photos while working on Photos app, In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, we would need some information.



    1. Are you aware of any recent changes made on your PC?
    2. What is the version and build of you operating system? In the
      Search box, type winver
      to get this info.


    Since it takes a while for the folder to re-populate after removal from the Photos app, I have found a work around to hide the folder from Photos app by changing the hidden attributes.



    Follow the steps to hide the Photo/ folder.



    1. Right click on the Photo/ folder.
    2. Select properties.
    3. Check Hidden under General tab and hit apply
    4. The photo will be temporally hidden from photos app.


    To unhide the Photo/ folder refer the below steps.



    1. Click on files explorer.
    2. Select the View tab and check Hidden items to view the Photo/folder
    3. Right click on the Photo/folder
    4. Select properties, Uncheck Hidden and click on apply.
    5. The Photo will re-appear in the Photos app.


    Thanks,

    How to hide 'yesterday', 'last week', etc in Downloads folder

    downloads folder

    In file explorer, specifically the downloads folder....how does one change the layout of the contents inside the folder. I don't like to see the split level stuff....today, yesterday and earlier this week. I just like it the old way of a single alphabetized list.
