Arrangement of document in Windows 7

Against all odds, my documents now arranged themselves on a time base mode, i.e. "Yesterday", last week,' earlier 'this year' and "long ago" rather than strictly an alphabetical ranking. I think Windows has made an update to my system that has changed the format of the Document arrangement but I see no way to return to the strictly alphabetical way, I have much perfer. If I wanted them prepared in time way I'd do it myself. Can someone help me undo this arrangement?

Thank you

Bob

Right click on an empty space in the list of files, then choose ""Group By: no"."

    They were not in the toolbar, they are in what is called the Application bar. But because it was not great thing else in the app bar it was considered a waste of screen space and has been removed in later versions.

  • cannot print the document from Windows Mail, get a script error

    When I try to print an electronic document of Windows Mail, I get the following error message:

    -An error has occurred in the script on this page

    -Line: 2115

    -Char: 1

    -Error: unexpected call to method or property access

    -Code: 0

    1. are you able to print other documents?

    Method 1: register the OLE control
    To do:
    1. click Start and type regsvr32 ole32.dll in the search field.
    2. press enter.

    Check if this helps you to print from Windows Live Mail. This usually solves the problem. If you are still having the same problem, follow the remaining steps.

    Method 2: disable the script debugger

    1. in the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
    2. on the Advanced tab , click on to clear display of each box script error notification, and then click OK.

    Note: ActiveX controls and Java programs are disabled in the high security level in Internet Explorer.

    Try to open a Web page where you previously received a script error. If you do not receive the error, the problem is resolved. If the problem persists, go to method 4.

    Method 4: remove all temporary files related to Internet

    1. start Internet Explorer.
    2. in the Tools menu, click Internet Options.

    You cannot use the password to protect the files in Windows Vista. However, you can encrypt the file.

    Encryption is a way to enhance the security of a message or file by scrambling the contents so that it can be read only by someone who has the appropriate encryption key to decrypt it.

  • When I try to print a document, a window opens upward to to save the document.

    Original title: print printer print

    I have a series HP1200 printer.  Everything is properly connected and allows you to print a page of test very well.  When I try to print a document, a window opens upward to to save the document.  While it is to save the print icon shows that I have a single document in the queue.  After that is it registered, she disappears.  There is no error message and he never prints the document.  First of all, I don't want to save each document that I need to print, secondly why is it not printing?

    It sounds like you have Microsoft XPS Document Writer or some PDF Pseudo-printer set as default printer. Set your HP1200 as default printer and if it is configured correctly with the Windows 8 driver you should get a piece of paper printed instead of a computer file.
