I want "date created" to always be visible!

Computers can do virtually anything but, why can't i do this simple
task.
In Vista home folder views we have columns for name, type, date
modidied, date created and so on. We can choose which ones we want to be
visible. I use the "date created" catagory quite often and I would like
it to be always be visible in all my folders at all times.

But I can't do it. Iv'e tried the procedure of configing the documents
folder just like I want it. Then I go to folder options and click "apply
to all folders" then I uncheck "remember each folders view settings".
Then I check "remember each folders view setting". doing any of this
doesnt help.
I still look at the folders later and the "date created" column is
missing again.

Maybe the following article would be worth a look:

This is a special feature of Vista - it's WinExplorer forgets
views/preferences.
This was eprfect in WindowsXP if you remember - I for example, only use 2
columns - filename & type.
SOMETIMES I'd add size & date modfied, but sie I can see in status bar
anyway, and datemodified...
Anyways, I always sort files by type or name (sometimes date modified).
And always use LIST view (sometimes Details), so stupid icons/thumnails
garbage because I deal with tens of thousands files and icon view is really
for children or "computer retards".

Now comes Vista. It forgets things, it makes them slow, it's just garbage.
So my friend, no way to fix it.
The only solution is to get Windows7 as soon as it comes out because it's
all fixed - Microsoft created Windows7 exactly for solving such problems
with Vista.,
Vista was a fisoco.

And it forgeting columns/file sorting is just ONE of the many crappy issues
with it, unlike professional WIndowsXP.
Vista was meant for games and picture taking, music... silly nonprofessional

Since Vista is so crappy, I would expect M$ to pay *me* for the time it
takes to install their Windows 7 corrective.

Having said that I don't see how, on the basis of past experience, anyone
can possibly have confidence in Windows 7.

Millions of people who have been using Windows 7 since beta 1 have
confidence in the operating system.

I do!
