Efficiency Tip #31 – Details View

Back in Tip #3 I talked about using Windows Explorer.  Here is an extra tip that will help you locate what you are looking for even quicker.

In addition to using the Folder button, also select the Detail view.  This will list all the critical properties of your files: name, size, type and date modified.

By clicking the column heading (Name – Size – Type – Date Modified), all files will be sorted by the selected column.  A second click will reverse the order first/last or last/first of the column.

Using the Details view can help you quickly find the newest file (sort by date) or the biggest file (sort by size).  You can even make sense of the files on your Desktop with this view using Windows Explorer.
