Windows 7 folders

In lieu of anything new and interesting to write about, I thought I would mention that this nugget from 2007 seems to still be relevant, and still fixes the problem - http://iponderus.com/2007/11/vista-folder-template-views.html . This will interest you if the folder details view you get with pictures and music annoys you – listing artist and track or date taken and resolution, instead of the standard size, type, and date modified. The worst annoyance is when you adjust it on a folder, and it goes back when you click into a subfolder. This procedure fixes it all, at least for awhile, as Windows has a tendency to reset these templates every so often, perhaps based on updates.

Find My iPhone to the rescue

Couldn’t find the iPhone. Knew it was somewhere in the house. On vibrate so calling it wasn’t helping. Checked Find My iPhone (new iCloud feature). The GPS couldn’t really narrow it down further than the house. Noticed a feature “Play Sound”. Clicked it and had the phone seconds later, despite the fact that it was on vibrate, as a nice clear ding noise at full volume was played over and over. Very cool!
