Windows 10: Customising default columns in File Explorer (Win 10)

I am doing a lot of work with umpteen folders and I would find it easier if I could customise the columns in File Explorer instead of having to reset them with each change of folder. So far all the methods I have read just don't work. Before I finally accept that this is no longer possible (if it ever was), has anyone got a method that really works?

Win 10 file explorer: set column titles default


You can set many columns in file explorer - details by right clicking on any column title and selecting one or more titles. I've added "file extension" and "attribute" to one window. This will allow sorting by the column title. I cannot find a way to save this setup as a default for all instances. The settings disappear after closing the window. There used to be an option to apply changes to all explorer windows but I can't find it in Win 10.

Thanks for reporting back. I have not had a problem Customizing columns with the exact details (vs icons/thumbs) I want then applying the Folder View, like in below tutorial. Hope the bat file helps as a last resort. Attached is screen of my Music and Pictures folders settings. Try to match settings to test on your system, then apply tutorial.

With the Windows File Explorer, is there any way of changing the default display window column widths?

With the Windows File Explorer, is there any way of changing the default display window column widths?

I have some files with very long names, and I always want to see the file extensions as well as the names. In the default Windows File Explorer, the first column listing the names of the files is too narrow for some of my file names with extensions. I
can drag the right margin of the first column to the right and fix that, but the next time I open File Explorer, I have to do it again. I would like to set the column widths and have that be the default thereafter.
