    changing column settings for all folders

    How do I set all the column headings to the column headings I want to see for all my music folders in Windows 10

    Hi Allan,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
    I will surely help you to fix this issue.

    To change which columns to appear in Music Folder, you may try these steps:

    a. You may open the music folder and click on View Tab.

    b. Click on Add Columns.

    c. Click More Columns.

    d. Select the required columns and also you can
    move it up and down.

    But when you create a new folder these changes will not appear in that folder. You may have to make these changes manually on the new folder.

    I suggest you to leave a feedback about the same on Windows Feedback app.

    Hope this information helps. Reply to the post with an updated status of the issue so that we can assist you further.
