I can't sort by File Types. What happened to File Details?

[leefoo]

When I do a search on how to sort, I get a Tutorial that tells me to open the "View" Menu item.

However, as you can see from the attached, I don't have a VIEW menu on my Folder.

I would like to sort these by file type so that I can save them to a CD.

What am I doing wrong here?

I attached a word doc with two pics in it. I have no idea wht these links are.
I hit the paperclip, added my file from my C: drive, hit Upload, and got this.

Essentially, I created a new folder, put in some music files, and wanted to sort them by file type, but I have no option for that. I can only sort by List, Details, Tiles and Content.

Under Windows XP, I COULD sort using View/Details.

Hi Leefoo, Welcome.
At the moment your images are showing "dead links". please try again. This could be that maybe Admin has to OK your images. You are a "new" poster after all. If all else fails PM brink and ask him to add your images for you.

In Windows Explorer, press the ALT key to display the File menu....

You can make the Menu bar always visible, see here:

Thanks to all for the help. Very fast results.
I eventually figured out how to turn the menu's on in all my Folders (only took about 2 hrs of trial and error). Can't believe the default was NOT to show them. Unless my installer (Dell) turned them off.
I can now sort by any detail I want.
Thx again.

One last question...how do I turn off the auto refresh in a folder when I change a name? THAT I couldn't find anywhere.

 

[leefoo]

Brink,

That's exactly what I did (I think). Perhaps where I screwed up was to put the images into a doc and upload the doc?

 

[leefoo]

Ztruker...thx...that's what I evenutally figured out to do...just took a long time to find it.

Good you got it figured out. Searching the internet is an art form I think
