File and Folder Arrangement - Group by - Sort by - Arrange by

Hello Ramisaade, and welcome to Seven Forums.

I'm sorry, but that is the only "Group By" Name option there is. It cannot be changed to be like it was in XP.

Is there a way in Windows 7 to add the header (currently only visible in Details view) to all views? I mostly use Thumnails or Content views, and would like the headers to appear there also.

Hello Peter,

None that I am aware of.

Maybe then it's time I install a virtual Vista and try to figure out which registry keys add that facility. With a little luck, they might work with 7 also.

Thanks.

Now that would be a great tutorial for you if you find a way.

Hello Hneel,

Is this inside a Library folder by chance? If so, this would be normal. While all Included Folders and subfolders in a library will always share the same folder view. You can have separate "Arrange by" view settings in each right click -> New -> Folder created in the library itself though.


Only in normal folders in Windows Explorer will they be applied per folder.

Hope this helps for now,
Shawn
