You said,"I know that you can add to this list from the menu bar by

choosing

View/Choose details." Details = column headings.



If you prefer to NOT view by details do so temporarily, add the column

headings you want to eventually have in the right click list then go back to

whatever "view" you want. No more columns but they will be in the list for

you to choose how to sort.

OK, do it that way then...



1. Select a folder

2. "Choose details"

3. Tick them all

4. Apply to all folders



The whole boogie should now show up in "Arrange icons by..." for every

folder, any "view".

No, you are incorrect. Check any mainstream dictionary for the definition of

"guy" when it's used in the plural form. Assuming of course, that didn't go

too far over your head.





You're so far off track it's almost laughable:

-- You've clipped the part of the text that was relevant

-- You've removed the relevant "OT" lable for your post, which is OFF TOPIC.

-- You seem to think "on topic" means whatever YOU choose to talk about

when in fact it is information relevant to the OP's query be on topic.

Commenting on his grammar and word usage etc is OFF TOPIC; NOT related to

the Subject line OR the OP's query.

-- I don't mind being "as bad as" the OP because the OP committed no sin. I

know a lot of people who refer to a group as "guys" regardless of the number

of women in it. And, it is correct. I suspect you might be from a group of

"would of" and the like who murder the language at nearly every turn.



From Merriam Webster's Online Dictionary:

"

3 a : man, fellow b : person -used in plural to refer to the members of a

group regardless of sex

"

-- You seem to think your opinion makes something a law for the rest of the

world.

-- And finally, as noted in the dictionary entry above, you are WRONG!. The

OP was RIGHT.

So all the above pushes you into the seedy categories of guys that:

-- Don't fact-check

-- Spew mindlessly

-- Assign their own meanings to words due usually to their ignorance of the

actual details

-- Attack others for your own feelings of powerlessness and inadequacy

-- and finally look foolish not that you have submitted your post and it is

recorded at Google and many other sites which will show your error and your

obvious lack of scruples, intelligence and interpersonal skills for as long

as those lists may last, which is longer than you will live, even though you

are naught but a teenie-bopping wart on someone's ass.



I shall not troll around with you as I only respond once to trolls, finding

it more intresting to watch them squirm as they work to elicit further

responses they can continue to troll to.

Homophobic? Never! Why, some of my best friends...

It's national Take a Shower with a Homo week! Get to showering quickly!

Just keep your little finger straight & down; it'll hide you plenty well

Boiling away the dross, your post boils down to:



What I want to be able to do is to select ALL the available details, and

to apply this to ALL folders, so that in future I can select the arrange

option I want from the right-click menu.



So what you asked is what I stated. No one here is a long-distance

mindreader and being an atypical post as you think it may be doesn't alter

what interpretation is possible from what you actually wrote.



You want ALL the available details (Details is a field definition all by

itself and does not equate to all *fields* available for display). I told

you how to do that (which you already knew). You want to apply that

detailed view to all [Windows Explorer view of] folders. Told you how to do

that (which now you claim to already know). "Select the arrange option".

You specified WHAT is that option (other than the one already there and

which has nothing to do with the view setting). Not my fault that you are

vague and cannot adequately describe what you want so someone ELSE knows of

what you are really asking.



If perhaps you meant that you want to add ANOTHER entry in the submenu for

the "Arrange By" context menu to include a "By Details" selection, that is

superfluous. In fact, the entire top half of the submenu under the "Arrange

By" context menu is superfluous (the bottom half gives you grouping, auto

arrange, and align to grid). All the sorting entries in the Arrange By

context submenu are already available in Windows Explorer. Just click on

the header row. If you want to arrange by Filename, click on that header.

Click again and the sorting order toggles. To sort by Type is just one

click on the Type header. The sorting is already available by clicking on

the header by which you want to sort. It's already there.



If you want more details in the display (on which you can sort) than add

more fields (headers). Right-click on any field in the header row and add

more fields, or click on More if you want to add a whole bunch of fields at

once.
 
I see in your other posts that you claim that you have to Details view which

would show the header row with the fields available in that Details view.



There is no "Details" selection under the View menu? One you select that

view, the folder/file pane on the right should show a header row that lists

all the fields current selected to be displayed. If you want different or

more fields, right-click on any field and select/deselect some of the

fields, or use More to select/deselect several at once.



So now seeing how you further explained yourself in subsequent posts which

was lacking in your original post, it seems you want "Arrange By -> Details"

in the right-click context menu. Not possible. The Arrange By menu lets

you select by which *field* you want to arrange (sort). It does NOT let you

switch between *views*. You can change the view (to select the Details

view) by either:



View menu -> Details

Right-click, context menu, Views menu, submenu pick Details.



Again, in the context menu:

- Arrange By: for sorting on an available field.

- Views: Pick a view, like Details.

He didn't mention anything. He used "guys", which word has been used

to refer to girls also at least since 1960 (Sixty) when I saw a girl

use it to address a group composed only of girls.



How old are you that you don't know this? How old are you that you

engage in silly questions?

That might be the crux of his problems. Have you read the about the issues

with the Catholic Pope and his brother, as well as the Irsish cardinal? They

all used guys too, or at least covered-up their actions for them, using

Microsoft software.
 
Arrange Icons By - THANK YOU

Thanks to everyone who has replied (except the troll), I now have what I

asked for.



Mostly.



There seem to be some folders where I am still only getting the standard

Name/Size/Type/Modified options.

I'll try to work out what makes these folders different from the rest.



Thanks again,

Jerry

I know various straight Vancouver women who address each

other or a mixed group as "guys".
