When i DL music to a folder, in win98 i used to be able to right click and choose "sort by date" so i could see the most recently added files at the beginning of the list....i can't do that in WinXP can i? is there a way to find the file easiest, w/o sorting through all of mine

i hate that too :/. search also seems gimped in Windows XP... you can tell it to search a file full of text for something, but unless it's like .txt or an acceptable format, it won't even read it (like if it's .cap or something, it doesn't actually search through the file). it used to do that in Windows 98 :(.

I wish Linux people would realize that it has about as much of a chance at being a good desktop OS for the masses as OpenBeOS has at succeeding.

It just isn't going to happen, especially not with X.
