From: Bob I on 15 Mar 2010 10:21 Yes you do, column headers contain the "label" of the column. Right click on "Name" or "Size".

From: Jerry and Ce on 15 Mar 2010 11:04 No I don't. On my PC I only see columns if I am in Details view and not many of my folders are set that way, for various reasons related to folder content.

From: Bob I on 15 Mar 2010 11:38 If you want Details as you stated, then yes you have to be in Details view.

From: Greg Russell on 15 Mar 2010 15:17 In news:OTMUEWGxKHA.3560(a)TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl, Twayne <nobody(a)spamcop.net> typed: >>> Hi Guys, I'd appreciate a bit of advice. >> >> There are a great many knowledgeable women in the worl of >> computing ... why do you exclude them in your questions? > > Why do YOU post off topic? If you think addressing the OP's behaviour of excluding women is somehow "off topic" when he specifically mentions it, then you're just as bad as he is. Worse even, for pretending that what's right in front of your face doesn't exist.
