I'm not sure if this is the correct section, it seemed like the only one which was relevant to my problem.

In Vista I used to be able to view a folders contents and arrange the files by date modified or name etc by clicking on the field on the title bar (I think it's called title bar). Now in Windows 7 when viewing large icons the title bar is missing and I have to right click in the folder and then choose 'sort by', then select what I wish to sort by. This takes a lot longer than having the title bar there. Is there a way to get the title bar back when viewing by large icons.

Thanks.

The snipping tool is a wonderful thing. Attaching a picture of what you mean is very helpful.. You can attach a file by using the paper clip after making Snipping tool copy.

For now all I might suggest is to adjust the view settings, or use the Organize option to go to folder options which are both in the "Title Bar" or close anyway :)

Ok, I have done a snip and attached the images. In the image I took when the folder was set to "details view" you can see the bar along the top with name, date, size etc. In the other image where I have the folder set to "large icons view" you can see that this bar is missing. I cannot find any way to get this bar when viewing 'Large Icons'. In vista this was possible but I cannot find how to get it in Windows 7. Any ideas?
