In my 20 years of IT support, I’m aware that most users are spoonfed anyway, or just don’t care, even when you show them a better way or a time savings way to do their tasks/job. Or they can easily see the last item(s) deleted to recover them. Why? Because most users are only looking for the latest files/folders in a particular directory.Īnd if they head into the Recycle Bin, they may see something they accidentally deleted (even more so since Windows 10 now defaults to turn off the Delete file notification ‘Display delete confirmation dialog’). Here’s why it works for my clients most of the time, especially when I insist they give it a try for more than 1 minute :P – ( some do like it alphabetically/no grouping, that is fine with several or 50/60 files/folders, but it gets messy and tedious to seek what you are looking for, especially when they do not know the trick to highlight anything in the directory they’re in and press the first letter of the title of whatever they seek to quickly jump to that file/folder ).Īnyway, the Group By makes since for a lot of users. Perhaps MS telemetry data picked up on that. I also Group the items in the Recycle Bin to ‘Date Deleted’. I’ve been setting this Group by Modified Date option since Vista for my clients in their Downloads folder as well as their Documents folders to ‘Group By: Date modified’
