Windows 10: Folders text/name alignment in Windows 10 RS1 (anniversary update)

Hi everyone,
So, yesterday i did a fresh windows 10 installation and noticed something a bit off, the folders name/text and spacing are aligned to the left, not centered as it used to:



Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise 1607 RS1 (x64)

Thanks *Smile.

Windows 10 file names not centered after anniversary update

Hello. I just updated to Win 10 Anniversary Update and I love it. However I just noticed the file and folder names are aligned to the left and not centered as they have been for years and years. It's not the end of the world but now that I know it's there
its annoying! Is there anyway to change this?

 

the folder name highlight is long even though the folder name is very short

We as users do not have control over this setting in Windows 10 when Layout is set to list . . .

In programming terms, Windows File Explorer uses a ListView Component to display files/folders. In Windows 7 they were left aligned and each one only took up the space necessary to display the file/folder text. In Windows 10 this is not the case, each column
will be the width of the longest file/folder name in the column . . .

Think of it like text in a document:

left align - each line can be a different length

justify - all lines will be the same width
