  2. 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
