Entered in chronological order? Do you mean to read in their chronological order?

There is more than one way to sort the display of documents, but the
more easy is to fashion Details, then click on the header of the
field to sort on (Date). You can click it a second time for
change the ascending descending, or vice versa.

  • Moving files in the folder of Documents using the Finder

    I have a lot of individual files in the Documents folder in OS X El Capitan. I made files in the Documents folder, I would like to move these files. Now, looking at the Documents folder in the Finder, it shows all the files in the Documents folder, sorted by type, whether or not I've moved into my new files.

    I don't want this 'virtual' representation - I want the files to be moved, and I see them again, unless I click on the new folder, so I can sort them.

    I'm sorry if I'm not this clear, but if you could help I would appreciate it.

    Looks like you set an Arrangement on the folder when you may have been trying to sort out the window.

    Arrange by groups the files and folders on the criteria you choose, as type. It will put them all within a section of the window depending on the type of item it is.

    Look at the View Menu, arrange by and set it to None. If it's not, try to post a screenshot of what you see.

  • Create subfolders in the folder in the document library

    I am trying to create subfolders in a particular file, I have in the document library.  I tried right click, select new, and there is no option to create a new folder.  I tried to create a folder on the desktop and by dragging in the folder and the files came the file disappeared!  For example, I managed to trade shows, so each show has its own file in the document library.  For each show, I want to create subfolders for contracts, menus, etc.  I hope that this option has not disappeared in the new OS!

    Hello

    You should be able to simply locate the folder in the library where you want to create the subfolder.

    Double-click the folder to open it then right click inside this folder and select the new/folder option.

    When you open the library, look at the top-right of the window and make sure that this folder is selected in the Arrange by: menu drop-down.

    If you have this option is set to something like name or modification Date, then you will not see the new/folder option.

    Let us know if that helps.

    How can I copy the folder my documents in my iCloud drive and then I sync the two after that?

    You can simply drag in iCloud reader, but I pass and move documents in their files app instead. It will probably take a while to download all documents.

    It is not a way to sync without some third party software that synchronizes folders, or learn how to use rsync in the Terminal.

    Instead of synchronization, simply use the iCloud drive in the 'Documents' folder after you move the files.

  • Can't see hidden files to delete in the folder C:\Documents and Settings\William\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

    C:\Documents and Settings\William\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files folder there are more than 135,000 files; nearly 2,000 cases and close to 3 GB of data. These files do not display and I can't remove them by deleting temporary Internet files. When I try to see the files to help to locate hidden files, only three very small files appear. How can I delete these files? Can I delete the folder and create a new one?

    William

    You can also enter your options Internet Explorer (via Control Panel), on the general tab, in the browsing history, there should be a settings button, once there, you should be able to select Show files in the temporary Internet files section.  Who will open the file for you and you can do CTRL + A (select all), and then delete.

    Some of the files in the folder may be used, and if they are in use, you will not be able to remove them.  You will need to know what is their use, cannot be used, then delete them.

  • Error message: cannot create the folder C:\Documents and Settings\Marlon\Local Application BVRP Software\NetWaiting\MoHlog.txt Settings\

    I recently had a problem with the virus 'Restore Windows'. I was able to get rid of it with Malwarebytes antivirus scanner, but when I turn on my computer I get this error message.
    Cannot create the folder C:\Documents and Settings\ of Settings\Marlon\Local Application BVRP Software\NetWaiting\MoHlog.txt

    I'm no expert, but I feel that my C drive disappeared, or at least has been hidden. My documents, pictures and music files are all empty. My programs (start > all programs) have been removed and deleted the shortcuts on the desktop. When I go to my computer, my personal and shared document files are not accessible. Under the description it says that they are hidden. My local disk (c) is also empty, but there is still very little space which suggests that programs and files have not been deleted.
    Is it possible to recover my files?
    Thank you

    Hello

    MoHlog.txt file is related to the software of modem on the computer, you can uninstall and reinsta it check if it works.

    Also scan your computer for any infection by virus still present on the computer using any scanner online.

    You can also try the system restore to the point before that the computer has been infected by the virus and check if it helps.

    Good luck!

  • sidebar (on the left) of the contents of the folder my documents appeared (I don't know how) and I can't get rid of

    I recently upgraded to vista XP, I can't locate the contents of what was in the folder 'My documents' anywhere. When these files is passed or they deleted in the upgrade?

    In the Security tab, add you in its own right. Go to advanced and control who has access.  Add yourself (if not there) and delete all others.  Then come back and go to the tab of property and take over the case.  Here are a few tips and information on permissions and provides which may help.  But take courage - it seems that we have to fear that found the lack of file and it should be as a matter of time before we can access despite the problems affecting permisions them.  You will have to perhaps give you all the rights and take in hand the folder of the user himself access - but let's see if it works this easier way first (or if it does not, we invite you to try to change the property on the users folder and the permissions, even if she is used to.  In this case, do remove other USERS from the permissions section.

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

    To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product.)  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

    In Windows Vista user profiles

    In Windows XP, 2000, 2003, user profiles are stored in c:\Documents and Settings. In Windows Vista, the profiles are now stored in c:\Users. You will see a folder c:\Documents and Settings in Windows Explorer in Vista, but you will also notice the shortcut icon on the folder, and you will not be able to access this folder. c:\Documents and Settings is now a junction Point. You can use the random dir command to see where c:\Documents and Settings point to or use the table below.

    The following table lists the old profile path and the new path under Windows Vista.

  • Why my saved documents appear in a library, as well as in the folder I created specifically for this document?

    In all series of Windows 2000 and Vista I could make a folder, click and drag a document I had saved in my documents, in this specific case.  In Windows 7, you have the libraries.  In the library named My Documents, I save a document and then make a folder to place this document in.  When I drag the document saved in the folder, it's now in both places.  I want the document to be only in the folder and not in My Documents.  It makes it more confusing and harder to find what I saved.  I'm very organized and when I find something I want in one place only.  I tried following the steps of your help in Windows 7 and what I had lost, and it took me hours to find and retrieve.  I do a lot of genealogy and save these images like the pages of the book, death certificates, Census pages, etc.  I have folders for each of the categories I have to put my data found in.

    I want just the data that I saved in the library named My Documents in one place, a specific folder, I created.  Not displayed in the library, as well as in the record, that's two places the same item of data is then saved.  Where all my files appear in the library named My Documents and I can open the file and find my data easily. If I delete the data in one place it automatically deletes it where ever else the same data is stored. This double economy takes up space on my drive hard but, making it harder to find what I saved.  It's very frustrating.  What happened to just drag file and data automatically moves to the location that you specify and remote where you drugs.  I don't like this feature in Windows 7.  It is too complicated and causes a lot of confusion.  I'm not a computer teckie and dislikes change my system.   How can I fix it?

    It's what you did in Windows 7, and what I end up with.

    Library

    My Documents (why do two places named My Documents?)

    My Documets (my first data here) (what drugs and has dropped to a specific folder, it should go away from here and only appear in the folder)

    The folder I created. (data from drug and dropped in the file, the copy of the saved data stays in My Documents, the two places, why?)

    No duplicates are created, you are simply watching the same file from two different angles.  I know this response is long, but it will explain...

    The libraries are not different records or specific sites.  They are in fact just combined views.  Put literally, they work like this: when you open your document library, it performs a search of two locations: your documentsand records of public documents , then you show every file or folder, it finds in these locations.  The point is to give you a point of view combined all documents which you interest, wherever they are.  If you have documents on a network drive or an external hard drive, you could say the library to get those Word files and include them in the combined view.

    When you save something in a library, the library puts it right in the default location (in this case, the default value would be something like C:\Users\John\Documents) and it starts to appear in the result of the research of the library.  If you delete something, you remove the original: we never two copies, or whatever it is, the library is just there to combine several locations to make it easier to see everything at once.
    You think that you have no use for it - and you could very well be right.  If this is the case, just use it normally and don't bother not including additional folders in the library.  That is to say, just pretend that your document library is your Documents folder.
    I, on the other hand, use it like this: I have a lot of movies, TV series, video clips and other video content.  So he took several hard drives.  I said to my video library to show all these places so that I can browse all my movies from a library, rather than to try to remember which drive a particular show was performed.
