Hi I use Explorer on WIN XP, and have come across an annoying thing,
which hopefully somebody will be able to help me with

I use a newsgroup to download mp3,s in a folder called MY mp3's, in
that folder is sub folders named rock,blues etc etc....
if i go into the rock folder any try to organise the files i get (on
right click of the mouse) a menu list which help me organise them into
ARTIST,ALBUM..etc as well as the normal right button menu list....now
this is great, and i use it a lot...but when i go into the blues
folder(or any other folder) the menu is only the standard menu list....
so is there any way i can get the bigger better menu on all folders, as
at the minute i have to cut copy and paste all of the files into a
directory that allows it, and do it that way...and with Broadband...it
can amount to a lot of files..and a lot of wasted time..
Hope i have explained that well enough for understanding..!!!

Thanks in Advance

Michael

Is "Rock" a customised folder? If so you should be able to customise the
others in the same way... right-click on the folder, choose "properties" and
go to the "customize" tab.

i needed to close down explorer, and boot it up again...low and behold,

them....
