Hi, I am trying to arrange my photos by the date taken in chronological
order. Typcially when I am in my folder of pictures, I right click and
choose, "Arrange icons by," and there is a submenu that pulls up with
"Picture taken on".

However, after cleaning my HDD in none of my folders, the "Picture taken on"
option does not exist...only 8 categories such as "Name", "Size," "Type"
and "Modified", "Attributes." I don't know how to restore the "Picture taken
on" option.
Just a reminder -under the list, THERE IS NO "More...". I remember it was
there before, but not now. That's why i need a help. Is it a registry problem?

thank you!

Well if I go to...View / Choose Details, this is what i get:
http://martin.florek.name/choosedetails.jpg -only 8 categories. Before there
was a long list, with "More..." at the bottom.
I was "cleaning" my hdd by a Norton SystemWorks utility "One Button
Checkup", propably some registry or a file was deleted. My guess, i don't
know:(

Maybe doing a System Restore to an
earlier date would be worth a try.

I restored my system and i can see all details categories now, includning
"date picture taken".
I haven't used System Restore before, so i din't know about this option.
Well it works, I hope there is not gonna be any side effect/problem.
Thank U.
