Welcome to Oldschooldaw.com! (Online since 2014) serving vintage computers worldwide! this is our NEW WEBHOST as we've moved from our OLD GODADDY to a brand new server location to start off 2026. thanks to Godaddy for hosting the site for 11 years and a big thank you to IONOS.COM for the great pricing going forward! this site exists as a resource for historical archival of information + file resources neccessary to make use of vintage computer hardware + vintage music composition software that runs on those old platforms. conceived conceptually by Chris Nova to address the problem of  missing information + missing chronological references caused due to this information slightly predating the creation of the modern internet, much of the information here has been sourced from magazines + books as well as scraped from other websites that have since gone offline and wont be coming back.

Windows 7 features the ability to sort folders by "Library"
https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/10283/understanding-the-libraries-feature-in-windows-7/

under "Favorites" thers an option entitled "Recent Places" this keeps track of all the folders you have been interacting with in recent file copies or openings etc

Quote
Go to your Personal Folder, meaning c:/Users/myusername/Recent/

Sort icons by Type.

Sort icons by Date Modified

Now go to Favorites/Recent Places

I then found that recent places link was now sorted by Date modified every time!!
