  1. How can I prevent the extra columns of details from appearing in File Explorer?


    I'm not exactly sure what they're called. Some examples of them are "#" and "Date Modified" and "File Type" and "Album." I don't really want these, since it makes the file name (the only important part to me) get cut off. I know that I can right click and hide them that way, but they come back after a while.

    I've tried looking it up before, but since I don't know what they're called I couldn't get what I was looking for. Anyway, it's not that big of a deal, but it would be nice if I could disable those extra details from appearing, since as I said before, the only part I care about is the file name.
