windows explorer not displaying "date" column.. how do I turn it on?

Hi,

I can find no offering to have the "date modified" column to show... checked
folder options, reset to default settings, no right click menu available on
headers, ???

It's been a while since I've worked on win98 machine...

any wisdom?

a side issue that might be related, when I change the config on the folder
options, it will not keep the changes... ??

thanks in advance for any help.

It might still be there...but just a matter of sliding the heading tabs over
one way or the other...
if you move your mouse along the tabs...they can be grabbed and moved over

Open Windows Explorer in Details view.
Click in a blank spot of the right-hand pane of the Explorer window, where all the
columns are shown.
Hold down the CTRL key on the keyboard and press the + key on the numeric keypad.

thanks, I had tried the sliding thing, but must have kept missing, I was
able finally to grab the "right" place and did slide it over... I thought
I deleted my post, as I discovered the answer before too long. I guess I
only deleted it on my machine though.
oh well, thanks anyway.

I liked Glen's solution too (Ctrl + "numeric +") to expand all the
columns... learn something new everyday!

thanks for taking the time to post, I do appreciate it.
