Default Simple question

Hey guys

I forgot the sttings to a folder. I changed them, and can't remember what they were like before.

I have a folder, and everytime that I added files to it, the last file added appeared LAST in that folder. The folder did not auto-arrange them autoamtically.

Now everytime that I add a new file to that folder, the file is hard to find as the folder is packed with many of them.

What are the settings so that the file autoamitaccly appears last on that folder as I add that?

Thanks

Do you want to arrange them by alphabet,, date, modified, or subject? Anyway, here's how you do it:

1.) Go into the folder you want to re-arrange

2.) Right-Click

3.) Go to "Arrange Icons By"

4.) Choose which one you want: "Modified" "Date" "Name" etc.

5.) If I were you, I would choose "Auto Arrange" so that Windows automatically lines up the files in a straight line.

Have a great day and hoped this fixed your problem! Thx!

Yeah I know that, but the problem I have is that, after I add something new to that folder it automatically is aouto arrangend in a way that I don't like.

I want it so that as soon as I add something to that folder, it appears last on it when I go into it. That way I know which were the last files that I added to that folder.

Are you still having this problem?

Just Right-Click, Arrange Icons By, and choose "Date" or "Modified" that should fix your problem! Thx and have a great day!
