Windows Explorer questions
I have to confess after a year I still don't understand the changes in Windows Explorer in Windows 7. This is partly because my company uses an older version of Windows, so most of my time is spent in XP. The main things I don't get are:
- Why sorting by date modified often gives the wrong results for folders. Folders in which nothing has changed in years typically sort above a folder I changed yesterday, which ends up in the middle.
- Why folders (even old ones) always sort above brand new files (not folders) when sorted by date modified.
- Why Recent Places still has nothing in it after over a year.
- Why searches take so long with the interminable blue bar moving across the top, and why even viewing folders sometimes sets off this bar.
