Windows 10: Why do some of my folders on my Windows 10 laptop use/display a Date column while others...

Why do some of my folders on my Windows 10 laptop use/display a Date column while others use/display a Date Modified column ...apparently at random?


Best regards,

Replace Date column with Date Modified

In File Explorer I can right-click a column heading and get a list of choices with Date Modified on it which by default appears when creating a New, Folder. If I click the More at the bottom of that list I find several choices about date with Date [by itself] being the first, Date Modified not there since it's already in use.



.
Another point, File Explorer windows will show different column headings based upon the content of the Folders being viewed, e.g. Music will be different from Pictures, etc.

And may be necessary to click the View tab then Options then the resulting View tab and choose Apply to all Folders although it may not always work as desired, I use that to show Details in most all instances of File Explorer.

 

my mailbox display no longer shows my folders and I cannot change the columns to display choices or messages

My e-mail display has changed and I can no longer get multiple columns nor the list with folders, I previously was able to get three columns now I cannot change the view …..cannot find any help from the MS Edge or display suggestions

Help -- how do I return to my previous settings and display

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

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
