hello!

 

I built my new PC a couple days ago and got a fresh windows install, everythings working fine but there's two things that are bugging me.

 

Whenever I go into my downloads folder I see "Today" / "Yesterday" / "This week", etc. I don't want the day/date of when I downloaded something

And the second thing is that when I download something and then drag it to my desktop it duplicates and it's still in my downloads folder, I don't want that either

(Download something with Chrome, drag it to my desktop immediately from the chrome window but there's still a copy in the downloads folder)

 

if someone could help with this I'd be very thankful

Click on the sort by thing in Windows explorer and click on date. That should turn the sort by date function off.

 

For the second thing, you can either shift and drag (which will move the item, instead of copy to) or you can use certain programs to basically reprogram the default drag operation.

1) Technically speaking Yesterday is a date, I don't understand how this could possibly be confusing? It can be disabled by opening Computer > Click View > Change to another option.

 

2) Windows always defaults a drag drop to copy paste, this is done because if you move a file and something goes wrong you lose both copies and this could be pretty bad. Either shift drag drop or right click cut, right click paste to move instead of copy.
