I have been playing around with the desktop, and laptop (both win 7)and do not have the two columns; Date modified & Type. I have one column that shows date modified and size. Opening a folder does not provide a drop menu. Instead I have to open a folder to see the contents.

There has to be a setting control setting somewhere that can be changes.

This may help
Change folder options
windows.microsoft.com
On the right side of the page you will seelinks to the following options:
To change general file and folder settings
To change advanced file and folder settings
To apply the current view setting to other folders
