Windows 10: When grouping by date in File Explorer, is there any way to force all dates to be shown,...

Hello all.I have a large set of video clips that I need to gather in a single folder and group by dates. I want to be able to sort them in the folder by date, and then group them by dates, but I need the folder display to show every date, even if it was years ago. Obviously, I can include the date modified as one of the columns in a detailed list, but it would be better if I could have this done by the Group By feature.

File Explorer: Date

In File Explorer what does Date mean in comparison to Date Modified or Date Created? What date information does it provide? It is the default date format listed.

 

Date and time of Word file as shown in Windows Explorer does not match date and time as shown under File Properties

Christoph,

There are different date-time stamps [Created, Modified,
Accessed] and I do not know which ones you are referring to. By default,
File explorer will just show a column for Date [unspecified] and that can cause some confusion.

If you are working in File explorer then right-click on a column header and add
Date modified & Date created as columns until you get used to things. Ditch the column for
Date. Don't bother with Date accessed because it can be a pain as it only works as a column entry under particular conditions.

If you copy a file from your computer to the memory stick then

• both will initially have the same Date modified.
• the copy on the memory stick will have a Date created that matches the date-time you copied it.

Note this potentially confusing aspect for large files that take some time to complete copying

• while copying is in progress the copy on the memory stick will have a Date modified that matches the date-time you started copying it.
• when copying is completed, its Date modified will revert to its true value.
