Windows 7 Folder Annoyance

[BillHicksRIP]

I've got a download folder which contains a mixture of drivers, MP3's, PDFs etc. For some reason I cannot get Windows 7 to display the folder the way I want. All I'm after is to display this folder in an XP 'details' style.

So.. Name Size Type Date Modified at the top.

Using the drop-down box on the right, Details displays the folder as if it only contains MP3s. I get Name Title Contributing artists and Album. No 'modified' column so I can't find my most recent downloads.

Taking the 'Content' option shows the names and last modified options for the files, but then doesn't give you a Date Modifed tab at the top so you can't sort the list to show the most recent additons.

Anyone got suggestions on how to fix this annoying trait?

Aha! I had this folder under my Favourites so it was a shortcut to the original location. Changed the properties type on the target directory of the shortcut and it all works fine. Thank you both.
