When you click the More options button on the toolbar of the Computer or Windows Explorer window, you can select how to view folder contents (i.e. Details view).  Please name the three views you tend to use the most often, and why.

What will be an ideal response?


Answers will vary. Students should choose three views from this list:
Extra Large Icons, Large Icons, Medium Icons, Small Icons, List, Details, Tiles, or Content (new to Windows 7 shows thumbnails and metadata).

The three views I use the most often are:
Extra Large Icons when looking at photographs. It makes it easier to see the photos before I insert them as an attachment in an e-mail message or into a blog post.

List view when I want to quickly scan for a file and know what I am looking for. This is an efficient view that only shows the file names.

Details view when I want more information on the file to help with my search. For example, if I want to be able to see file types (PDF, .docx), date modified, rating, in addition to the file name I use this view. It is the view I use most often when working on projects.
