Change the way the documents are sorted in a folder in Windows Explorer

In Windows XP, I could sort the documents by alphabetical order or by date. The default value for Windows 7 seems to be of type file, and then alphabetically within type. Can I change this for each folder? If this is not possible can I change it to all folders?

Absolutely you can simply right-click and choose "group by: None" so there is no more of the group by type.

  • After you disable the new interface to tabs, all new documents are not open in a larger window

    Hello

    Yesterday I upgrade my Adobe 11.0.10 Adobe Acrobat Reader DC 15.010.20056 player. The tabs interface was pleasant enough, but there are still some limitations with this features, such as,.

    1 > no option to set no maximum. tabs in a single window,

    2 > tabs cannot organize, to be moved to a new window and several selected

    I want to disable the new interface to tabs via Preferences > General > open documents in the new tab in the same window (not checked), but after you turn off the new tabbed interface, all new documents open after the first document are not open in a maximized window, they always opened in a restored window.

    No matter what I do, it keeps - on the opening of the second new pdf in this one, restored windows are the things that I tried to overcome this.

    1 > right of the DC open Adobe Acrobat click in the task bar > Adobe Reader DC > right click > properties > run: enlarged - only the first document opened in maximized windows, documents later opened in the restored only, window that too seem to not work when I closed the last document in a restored window. Opening in the same window type is part of the windows operating system, it does all the time, "opens the entire application in the same way that they have been closed, either maximized/restored and the size of Windows too". Only the first one application window is open in this way, rest of the windows open is seems to be not supported by the operating system.

    2 > of this forum discussion https://forums.adobe.com/thread/435552?start=0 & tstart = 0 , I checked for the mentioned, registry keys

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\SDI

    the default value is - "bNullDocMaximized" = DWORD: 00000001 , "bMaximizeNextDocument" = DWORD: 00000001 and "bResizeOnOpen" = DWORD: 00000000

    Exchange only tried on the third button (the rest has been preset to required values) - "bResizeOnOpen" = dword: 00000001 - restart > no change > reset to its default value

    What to do now...?

  • The documents are automatically save instead of being able to open.  I am using Acrobat Reader DC

    The documents are automatically save instead of being able to open.  I'm using Acrobat Reader DC, Firefox, Gmail.  On Gmail, used to allow me to click on the arrow and select open or save.  Then I would record under and I could save the document where I wanted to.  Now, the only option for the arrow is a download and it downloads automatically.  Won't let me open.  I have selected Acrobat as always enable in the settings of Firefox.

    Very frustrating, wasting more time...

    Thank you.

    I have searched and searched and found a way to change the settings of Firefox.  Now it works as I want.  Thank you.

    Nothing will stop a PDF to be edited or tampered with; a few things will make it harder. That's why we use digital signatures. They don't stop editing, they mean that any change will be recognized as after the signature, so it is an unauthorized change. The signatures are on the interception of fakes, do not stop them.

  • How can I change the music button on my keyboard to launch Windows Media Player to launch WinAmp?

    original title: program music keyboard key

    How can I change the music button on my keyboard to launch Windows Media Player to launch WinAmp?

    Thank you

    Drew

    As Mike Hall suggested, first look for the keyboard utility and seek to change the keyboard assignment there.

    If this option is not available, you can try to change the default program to open files of music. I do not think that "hotkey" keyboard music trying to specifically open Windows Media Play, rather it opens the program assigned as the default value for the music.

    So you'll need to get to the default programs control panel applet. To get there:

    1. Click Start , then Control Panel (in midway up on the right side)
    2. In the Control Panel window, click programs (not options, just the word more big programs). (If you have your set control panel to displayall items in the Panel control, then the applet default programs will be already visible and available directly)
    3. The second group of options should be the default programs. The two options here that should be of interest to you are:
      Make a file always open in a specific program type and (especially) set your default programs.

    You should find everything you need there.

  • How to disable the "Fonts" folder in Windows Explorer?

    Hi all

    I have a problem to deactivate the fonts folder in Windows Explorer.
    My question:
    How to turn off or do not display "Fonts" in Windows Explorer my computer tab?

    I think it is unnecessary because it already exists in the Control Panel folder.

    If anyone can solve this, thanks in advance.

    Windows customizes the Fonts folder and offers a special folder view that allows you to hide variations, such as bold and italics. It also allows you to change the display settings of the file in a way that is specific to fonts. If you remove the read-only attributes and the Fonts folder system, these custom display settings not available. For folders that you have customized by using the tab, Customize dialog box Properties of the folder, the folder icon and other other customizations may be missing when you remove the read-only attribute.

    This solved the problem for me too, you can select the top of the file (in
    my case g:\ my documents-my pictures.)

    Properties-> Security-> advanced-> change permissions

    Check "include permissions inheritable" AND "replace all permissions of the child".

    Work done :)

  • How can I sort a list of emails in chronological order in a folder in Windows Explorer

    I copied about 20 emails from my Outlook 2010 Inbox to a folder in windows Explorer.

    It's all in date order when it is in Outlook, but when they are copied to a folder, they acquired all the same date and time and therefore reodering by impossible date.

    I had to open each email to get the date that I then used to rename the e-mails as in the following example:

    09.09.15 - smells filename1

    08.08.15 - smells filename2

    03.09.15 - recD-filename3

    10.07.15 - recD-filename4

    What I want to do is kind of these emails according to the new file name. However, when I select sort by "name", instead of form the following list by MY date, i.e.

    10.07.15 - recD-filename4

    08.08.15 - smells filename2

    03.09.15 - recD-filename3

    09.09.15 - smells filename1

    the order of the list remains more or less the same as if the date that I inserted at the beginning of the file name isn't being recognized.

    If anyone can help with the material?

    Thank you

    Sending the files Outlook as to the Ombudsman .msg files is not a good idea. You need to send in the form of .pdf files for anyone to read. Free programs like PDF24 will generate .pdf versions.

  • Changing settings predefined once documents are in the book.

    1. I already had eight chapters when I decided that my space between the columns was too broad to 1 p 6 and I could better use an other 0P6 inside margin.  So I changed the eight masters accordingly.  However, the initial margin aligns always see her on my pages, which suggests that I did the wrong path by clicking on layout > margins and columns and change the values in the menu.

    Is there a better way to make a global change of documents?

    1. when I see my pages in presentation mode margins low look too wide at 4 p 0.  In addition, my column 41p length 0 leaves too much space after the last line of the type.  I would like to increase the length of column just enough to accept another line before I add more chapters.

    2. my manuscript was typed in Open Office Writer that was then saved as RTF files before you import the chapters into identification documents.  Each paragraph begins with a dash, using the Tab key.  I figured when my paragraph style is applied to them after placement, the dashes will be replaced by the 2P0 asked in style.  I was wrong, they remained as in the original text.  This means I have to manually correct the first letter of each paragraph in my book.  What I'm missing here?

    For 1. Re apply the master on the pages, which should work.

    For 2. did you use the ALT key when you apply the paragraph style? If this is not the case, try this, but make sure that all bold, italic characters have a tank that are applied to their style.

    The "Tan" off header lines occurred when they did the 31.0 update.
