    Understanding and Optimizing Media File Sorting in Windows 10 File Explorer: Seeking...


    Hello, I have a question about Windows file explorer in Windows 10, specifically regarding the terms "Date created" and "Date modified." Could you help clarify these terms by answering the following scenarios? 1. If I download an image from the internet, which was supposedly taken on January 1, 2024, and I download it today January 26, 2024, what will be the values for Date, Date completed, Date Created, and Date Modified? 2. Now, if I copy this image from the download folder to another location, which date field will contain information about when it was created or copied to this new fo

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Sorting with File Explorer.

    I tried the method that was complicated (3rd option) but fell over in second step as I could not find any "apply to folder button"'.

    However, the simple put *.* in search bar, then sort results windows by date does the trick. It is slightly cumbersome as I have to do that each time I am selecting files (to upload to sharepoint) but a lot less hassle than I was having to scroll up and down between sorted file block and sorted folder block.

    Many thanks.
