Windows 10: Create Custom Details Column (Windows 10 File Explorer)

I generally use the "details" view in Windows File Explorer a lot. This is an example:





As you can see, I can sort my file types in various ways by clicking on the different columns at the top. However, I have a question:

Is it possible to create a custom column in File Explorer that I can use to sort files by based upon their file extension? I'm not talking about changing the columns that are already there or picking from the huge list that you get when right click at the top and pick "More." What I want to do is create a custom column that I can enter text in for based upon the file extension which I can then use to sort my files into groups (such as audio, video, projects, etc.)

This could help me stay much more organized in File Explorer. However, you may be wondering why I don't just use the option to sort my files by "type" or "extension." The reason that I don't want to do this is because then not all of my files will be in the precise order that I want them to. Even though I found a way to modify the "Type" text for SOME files, as you can probably see in the image, I have not been able to for ALL file types (such as PNG, JPG, and JPEG), which is a real roadblock. This is because FileTypesMan is an old program and Registry Tweaks don't seem to be working even after I restart Windows Explorer.

Because of this, I'm wondering if there's a way to create a custom column that I can enter custom text into (which would correspond to a certain file extension) so that it's much easier to sort my files in Windows File Explorer. Is this possible?

Change the color of the columns adjacent to Name column in the file explorer's sub folders in Windows 10.

Original Title: Windows 10 File Explorer Details View, most columns have faint / low contrast font

In Windows 10 (NOT Windows 7), in File Explorer, "Details" View, the font in the "Name" column is normal. But in the other columns ("Date Modified", "Size", etc) the font is fainter (lower contrast). I want to make all the columns look like the "Name" column.

There are several references to this online regarding Windows 7, but I can't tell if they will be relevant or successful in Windows 10.

Here's one of those webpages that has screenshots that show the exact problem (#2):

How to print a directory list within Windows Explorer as text file with custom details including file length?

How to print a directory list within Windows Explorer as text file with custom details including file length? When I print from the DOS prompt (command line) I only get Date, Type and Size properties. I can add the file length column in Windows
Explorer but I need to get it into a text file.

 

You could rt click the column header, add File Extension as a column, and sort by that..
