    Yeah when i put it under name only files appear but i also need the folder to appear :) .
    But thanks anyway

    Is that the bad thing in "Libraries" is that two folders cannot be viewed in two diferent ways ( name, modified date, type) at the same time .

    Sorta. Start with the "C" drive, find "Users", then your user folder, then your My Docs folder. Drag and drop the folder onto the taskbar. You will now have a menu entry to go directly to your "My Docs". Right ckick on the start menu and click on "My Docs"?

    I think this is the first thing that i dont like about windows 7 "Libraries" well i just got tired figuring out how to change the folders, and instead i put a shortcut of my documents in my desktop because My documents behaves differently in "Libraries" well i guess im gonna have to get use to it.

    Guys another question is it possible to rearrange files or folder inside a folder , you know put them in whatever order you want?
    Like one can arrange Icons on the desktop? No, not that I know of. Others have mentioned this before.

    Is that the bad thing in "Libraries" is that two folders cannot be viewed in two diferent ways ( name, modified date, type) at the same time .
    I may not be following the question exactly but part of the issue might be that a LIBRARY is not a FOLDER and does not behave the same. Within a Library (a collection of FOLDERS at different locations) the Sort/View Options apply to the entire Library (all Folders).

    Arranging by Folder basically lists all the Folders included in the Library and the Files in each Folder, sorted by Folder>File Name. Pretty standard.

    Arranging by Name sorts ALL Files in ALL of the Library's Folders by Name. You can click on VIEW>Choose Details and select the Folder, Folder Name or Folder Path columns to display each of the Files respective Folders.

    So I don't think a Library view can do exactly what you would like. But it could be handy in finding duplicate Filenames in multiple Folders for example.

    I hope this helps a little.
