  2. Defaulting "size all columns to fit" globally/permanently in Windows 11?

    Hello.

    Even though your response is confusingly worded, I comprehend it. Just the same, I already know how to set "size all columns to fit" in individual folders and did not request reiteration. My biggest challenge, however, is that your suggestion to apply this setting as a default--seemingly using "Options > View > Apply to All Folders"--does NOT work because there is no clickable box within the view window that denotes columnar sizing. When I "Apply to All Folder" nothing changes and I must manually "size all columns to fit" in every folder.

    Perhaps I missed something implied by your response? Are you suggesting there IS a "size all columns to fit" setting within Options > View?

    File Explorer: Size all columns to fit (as a default view)

    Hi,

    To clarify your concern, we'd like to know if you're trying to change the width of all columns to fit their contents in a folder. If yes, kindly follow the steps below:

    • Open the folder with a details layout view that you want to change the width of columns to fit.
    • Click on the View tab.
    • Click on Size all columns to fit in the ribbon.

    Your step-by-step instructions seems to have worked, on a per folder basis (I had been using Right click on name column and "Size all Columns to fit" Perhaps there is a difference in manually resizing the column at the dividing line ... but it still doesn't

    I mean, I guess if this fix works, I can resize the name column of every file folder as I click on them but better would be to resize the Documents file, double click it, click Excel and have all the worksheet file names already sized to fit ...
