date not visible as a file attribute in Windows Explorer and other applications


Recommended Posts

I am in a pickle. The date function is simply not visible in Windows

Explorer so i cannot see when a file was created, accessed etc. I can

see the time in hours and minutes but not the date (day). This problem

carries over to outlook when I reply to emails the Sent date

disappears.

 

Of course when I right-mouse click on a file and look at its

properties I only see the time as well ..no date!

 

Anyone have a suggestion.

Open Explorer on the right side, you should see name/sixe/type ect., right

click on name you will get all kinds of options to select. Turn on the ones

you want. In Outlook right click the left click "Field Chooser".

"Right click the left click"? An incomprehensible line in what is otherwise

a total pile of garbage. You live in Wonderland, right? Smoking a hookah,

I'll bet...

Re: date not visible as a file attribute in Windows Explorer and other

 

Hi Steve, thanks for your attempt but I can see the date column and

know how to turn them on/off.

 

My problem is that the date is not coming through.

 

I see this:

 

Name Size Date Created

 

File.doc 2MB 3:24PM

 

What I should see is 01/04/2007 3:24PM

 

I am missing the date part of the date attributes ..i only see the

time in hours and minutes.

 

pg

Re: date not visible as a file attribute in Windows Explorer and o

 

Expand the column, put you cursor in between created and the next column

single left click hold and drag to the right to expand the column. or double

left click on the line that separates the fields.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Sorry about my comments to the other moron.

In the folder, hold down the Ctrl key and then press the + key in the number

pad.

Re: date not visible as a file attribute in Windows Explorer and other applications

 

Hi guys, thanks again but i wish it were that simple ..it is not a

column width problem ...genuinely the date is not visible.

 

I have done a screen shot and popped it up here:

 

http://thatsthat.googlepages.com/mydateproblem

 

You can see there is time in hours and days but no date ..you can also

see I have the column right expanded to show that it is not being

hidden.

 

Any ideas?

 

peter

Got me stumped. Sorry, never heard of this one and can't begin to say where

to find the answer. Having a hard time coming up with the proper search

terms. As for the previous advice, we just wanted to make sure, <s>.

 

Have you done a formal malware diagnostic?

Re: date not visible as a file attribute in Windows Explorer and o

 

I had never seen this either, but I do have 1 more suggestion, go to the

control panel open regional & language options, make sure it states English

(US) & USA at the bottom, choose the advanced tab, if not already, then

change to English US, then put a check mark on apply to current and all users

at bottom, go back to the regional options tab at the top, click on customize

next to English (US), click the Date tab on the short date field make sure it

states MM/DD/YYYY, or what ever option you prefer.

 

I hope this helps

Can you see the date and time via a CMD prompt "DIR" command?

 

Maybe the files don't have dates...
