Do I have to change the View setting for every single folder I go into, though? There's not a way to do it globally?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Go to Tools --> Folder Options. Click the View tab. Click the Apply to All Folders button. (make sure your current folder looks like you want, obviously.)

Mostly lurking...

Rebooting fixed it! Thanks.

Trust my rage

Airport question: I have an Airport Extreme that suddenly has started, instead of sharing the IP address across all computers (i.e. 10.0.x.x) is giving one computer the main IP address (70.45.x.x) and therefore not allowing any of the others to connect. I've tried all the obvious stuff (unplugging and waiting, hard reset, unplugging all other routers in the area, and so on)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Have you tried running the airport utility?

All is well that ends in pizza.

It sound like it's been somehow set to "pass thru" mode.

# Open AirPort Admin Utility.
# Select the base station and click Configure, then click Network.
# Deselect the "Distribute IP addresses" checkbox.
# "Save" or "Apply", what ever it says.
# Select the "Distribute IP addresses" checkbox.
# "Save" or "Apply", what ever it says.

does anyone know if i can make a folder have the files i add to it keep them in the order i added them? i know it does it if i have the folder open while i'm dling, but i want it to be that way until i change it. i'm using Windows Media Center edition if that matters at all...

You can sort a folder by date by clicking on the Date bar at the top of the file listing. You probably need to be in Details view (see my post to flea if you need instructions on doing that).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's not so much that the folder contents are ordered, just that you view them sorted by one thing or another. "The order added to the folder" isn't one of them unless you create or edit them as you add them.
