Arrange Icons By - Not the usual questions

J

Jerry and Ce

Flightless Bird
Hi Guys, I'd appreciate a bit of advice.
In any folder, when you right-click and choose Arrange Icons By, you get a
list of ways they can be arranged.
I know that you can add to this list from the menu bar by choosing
View/Choose details.
What I want to be able to do is to select ALL the available details, and to
apply this to ALL folders, so that in future I can select the arrange option
I want from the right-click menu.
Is this possible?
Many thanks,
Jerry

Open Windows Explorer.
Use the sorting you want, like using the Details view.
Tools -> Folder Options -> View
Click the "Apply to all Folders"

As I said, this is not the usual question.
I know how to apply a particular view to all folders.
That is not what I am asking.

Possible, yes; sensible, no.

The items shown under "arrange by" are the column headings. You can select
the column headings to be shown by right clicking one; that will spit out a
list of many possibilities. Select them all and you'll wind up with an
unreadable window.

Right clicking to "arrange by" does nothing except sort the contents of the
window by whatever you choose; you can do the same thing by clicking the
column heading you want to sort by and that is quicker and easier.

Thanks, but I don't have 'column headings' in my folders.

So, if it's possible to do this:

how do I do it?

Yes you do, column headers contain the "label" of the column. Right
click on "Name" or "Size".

No I don't.
On my PC I only see columns if I am in Details view and not many of my
folders are set that way, for various reasons related to folder content.

Re: Arrange Icons By - Not the usual questions - TO SUM UP THEN

So, to sum up, my original desire to have all the 'Choose Details' options
available on the right-click menu, for all folders, in any view, is NOT
possible.

Thanks for your help everyone.

Re: Arrange Icons By - Not the usual questions - TO SUM UP THEN

No, I think you have confused yourself. What you actually want to to be
able to ARRANGE by some attribute. For that to be available you have to
activate that particular attribute first. SO, Switch to Details view,
select the attributes that you may like to arrange by, then switch back
to the desired view(Icons, List etc.), now r-click and select Arrange
Icons By, and you will see the items that you chose to be available. You
WILL have to be in Details view to activate them.

My PC, XP SP3 and all updates, but Classic Windows appearance, must be

I can access the menu to choose the attributes in any type of folder view by
going to the Menu Bar, View, Choose Details.

If you think addressing the OP's behaviour of excluding women is somehow
"off topic" when he specifically mentions it, then you're just as bad as he
is. Worse even, for pretending that what's right in front of your face
doesn't exist.

How do you know he||she meant to exclude either gender by using the term
"Guys"?

Perhaps the OP is using the term “Guys” in a Gender Neutral way.

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/guys
4. (plural) Informal persons of either sex

I prefer to give the OP the benefit of doubt.

Opps, sorry you are correct, I never use that route and forgot. So then
you have what you asked for, without having to switch to Details.
