  1. How to change how folder views are displayed


    When I double click to open a folder I get an extra pane on the right side that is
    useless to me and takes up real-estate.

    How to I change the view options to eliminate that extra pane.

    Attached are 2 images - one showing the extra pane, and the other showing how I'd like
    my folder views displayed.

    :)

  3. How can I set a default so that files and folders are displayed using the view option "LIST"

    Open File Explorer by using key combination Windows Key + E and navigate to the folder you want to use as a source for view layout settings.

    2. Navigate to the View tab in ribbon bar on the top and change the settings per your wish. You can change the layout and choose the folder details to display, add extra panes, adjust column width, etc.

    Set a default Folder View for all folders

    3. Once done with the changes, click Options to open Folder Options window.

    4. Click the View tab in Folder Options window.

    5. Click on Apply to Folders button.
