    Columns order in Windows 11 Explorer


    Hi AllI would like to see the following in Explorer for EVERY folder of my hard disk and network shares:File, Size, Date, TypeI tried to follow the instructions I found options-view-apply to all folders, but they only work with the current folder and sometimes not forever - after a reboot I may need to re-set my preferences.Does anyone has a working solution?ThanksStefano

    :)
