Solved - Add more defaults to "Group by" in Explorer (and "Sort by")

How to add "Date Modified" and "Type" to all Group by (and Sort by) in Explorer in all folders?

I can add these to an individual folder by using "More" at the bottom of the Group by list.

Group by current list is 'Name', 'Date', 'Size' and 'Length'.

I want to add 'Date Modified' and 'Type' to all folders in all situations.

It would also be nice to remove 'Date'.

Thank you.

tags or title for pictures / photos

Hello,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Title is used to get more information about the content, different documents will have different title.

You can add same tags for documents with different title to group them to together, which will help in searching the file with same tags. I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below to add tags or title to your image.

Steps:

1. Right click on the Image or photo you want to tag.
2. Select Properties.
3. Select Detail tab.
4. Under Description section, select
   tags or title.
5. Add your tags or title and click on
   Ok.

Note: You can add more than one tag to the same image or photo.

Hope it helps.

group by and sort by - combine in one step, like win xp

In windows xp, there was no group by, only show in groups.

If with groups on (in xp) I then clicked on the column heading, "date modified" it would be the same as in windows 10 where I have to do 2 things, group by date modified and sort by date modified.

Granted, win 10 (and I think this behavior started in win 7) allows more flexibility, but I now have to do 2 things instead of just one.

I was hoping there was a way to do the 2 in one step.

An analogy would be say, a volume control that let you change just the left or right channel individually (this would be the windows 10 way) or have a setting whereby changing the volume would "gang" together both left and right with a volume change in one adjustment.

I mostly want to change the 2 together. In particular, I want to click on a column heading and have both the group by and sort by change to the column header I clicked on.
