You know how you can arrange the files in folder like by type, size, name etc... Normally this defaults on by name. I have no idea how but my computer somehow defaulted on by size. It does not matter which program I am using if I open a file they are listed by size and not by name. How can I change this back?

 

at the top of your explorer, and in details mode you have column headers with name size type date modified etc..

click on each of those to arrange in ascending or decending by the category you would like. there is usually an arrow to indicate.

 

Yes, I know that one. I al talking about the pop-up window when you go to open a file in any program, that is where it lists the files by size.

 

which program specifically, .. i can still do that same thing in the ones i checked.

 

Any and all programs. Word, powerpoint, photoshop, paint, IE, media player, quick time, google earth, etc.. I mean every program I have tried on my computer.
