138455 2003-04-24 06:47:00 In 'my computer' I have it set to the classic style and all files/folders are sorted alphabetically. Recently the display has changed and files/folders are now sorted by modified date. How can I change it back to sorting by name?

I've tried <view><folder options><like current folder> but it doesn't keep the settings. Is it something in the registry that does it?

Programs like Word have it sorted correctly but Outlook express doesn't!

Help!!

138456 2003-04-24 07:15:00 if you have XP then right click in the folder and underneath 'view' is 'sort by' there you can set each folder or if you want all to change ... then post back.. Trev0 (1995)

138458 2003-04-24 08:03:00 Just click on the column heading box, in explorer it would be NAME to get the folders and files sorted in alphabetical order. Click again in the same place to toggle between ascending or descending order.

138459 2003-04-27 10:17:00 Sorry I didn't explain myself. I've tried all the simple things like changing the sort order at the top of the column whch works fine. The problem is the next time it hasn't retained that sort order...its gone back to the one I don't want. ecurb (3669)

Have a look at this thread here (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) and what BabeRuth posted.

Hope this is what you are after.
