Default View - details - everything goes away.

Greetings,

When I first went to several of my folders lastnight -
I thought someone had hacked into my harddrive and deleted
a bunch of folders.

After almost getting the FBI involved (no exageration -
as there's only a short list of people who would have done
it)by accident today I discovered the files weren't
deleted - it's just that...

Any folder where I had left the view options as either
large icons, small icons(rarely used by me) or list - the
files show.

Any folder where the view options had been left
on 'details' a grey bar appears below the toolbar, and NO
files show.

And...you can still toggle back and forth - in other
words, select view - large icons - all the files show.

Select view - details - and all the files disappear.

Anyplace in the windows 98 operating system where there
this can be toggled so 'details' works again?

I want to be able to see when the last time any of my
many files were accessed...

Thanks!
Joe

Default Alan, that was awsome!!! Woohoo!

Alan,

One of the things I've noticed on this forum is not a
lot of feedback about mission accomplished.

That immediately fixed the problem - and for ovbious
reasons is something I never would have just stumbled upon
by myself - it took somebody who already knew how to fix
the problem - or knows how to find a fix for the problem.

Everything appeared one column at a time - and moved
sideways to make room for the next column.

Great job, many thanks for a quick fix that worked.

Be great!
Joe

Anyhow, Alan, thank you -

Hi Joe,

Thanks for the feedback (rare, as you say).

You can use CTRL+ at any time. It re-orders the columns to fit the
data, as you probably noticed. It just happens to be a fix for your
problem as well.
