  1. I need help configuring the display settings of file folders in Windows Explorer


    I hope someone here will be able to help me. I have no problem going to the technet forums if I need to, but I thought I'd ask here first if someone has any idea.

    In file explorer, let's say I want to navigate to a certain directory, e.g. C:\My_Directory. Now, My_Directory stores three things: Pictures, Videos, and Music.

    When I navigate to each subdirectory, I want file explorer to show me the details view, but with different columns. For example, if I go to "pictures" I want it to show me resolution. If I want to go to videos, I want to see frame height, frame width, but not resolution. If I go to Music, I don't want to see any of those columns, but I want to see bitrate.

    Lastly, I want these features to be saved permanently so every time I navigate to this directory file explorer remembers how I want these directories viewed.

    Does this question make sense? Does anyone know how to achieve this?

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
