  1. Columns in Windows 10 Explorer


    In my folders that I use specifically for my backups using Macrium Reflect, I used to have two additional columns displayed in windows explorer for "The Type of Back-Up" eg, Full Backup/Differental Backup/Incremental Backup, and location of Backup File.


    Both of these seem to have vanished in the last month.


    How and where do I reinstate these very using column types?

    :)

    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
