Arranging Explorer icons
You can choose how icons in the right pane of the Explorer window are arranged by choosing View ›
Arrange Icons By from the menu bar. You have the following options:
Name: Displays icons with folders in alphabetic order, followed by files in alphabetic order.
Size: Files are listed in smallest to largest order.
Type: Files are presented in groups by type.
Modified: Displays icons based on the date they were last modified.
These four options are pretty universal. When viewing the contents of your My Pictures or My Music
folder, you’ll also be given options for arranging icons relative to those file types. In My Pictures, for
example, you’ll have the option to arrange icons by the date the picture was taken, and the dimensions
(size) or the pictures. In My Music, for example, you’ll be able to arrange icons based on artist, album,
length, and so forth.
